Hello Again to All My Friends
11 years ago
General
I'm glad you came to play!
The fun and learning never ends;
Here's what we did today!
...can you tell I'm not all there yet?
Seriously though, my apologies to all for being so absent for so long. When amenthor finally got weekends off with me though, RL came a-knockin' we ran a-answerin'. Or something like that. Now that summer is over though things should be winding down, so hopefully more activity on here.
Went to Rainfurrest this weekend and unlocked several achievements, most times without even meaning to XD Let's look at the list!
Friends of Gold, Friends of Silver:
Meet up with old friends and make some new ones.
Oh the Humanity!
Laugh so hard at a game of Cards Against Humanity that I start to tear up.
The Lone Femme of Humanity:
Be the only girl at a table for CaH (both years now!).
The Art Whore:
Buy at least five pieces of art.
The Charitable Art Whore:
Bid on (and win!) three pieces of art from the art show (all money goes to the charity).
A Matched Set:
Buy a badge for amenthor that matches the one I have.
Staff Infection:
Be threatened... er... promised with possible staff duties for next year.
The Well-Groomed Munch:
Buy my first set of cat ears that match up for my fursona.
The Charitable Munch:
Contribute something for the charity auction for the first time.
The Helpful Munch:
Help out the writing track in setting up or breaking down (both on Sunday!).
The Munch-sized Munch:
"Why don't you stand up?" "She's already standing!"
The Yowling Munch:
Speak on a podcast for the first time.
The Professional Munch:
Speak on a writing panel for the first time (x4!).
The Scribing Munch:
Take part in this year's writing competition...
The Honorable Munch:
...and get Honorable Mention two years running!
Ménage à trois:
Drag two others into the writing competition who have never attempted it before ( amenthor And inpcommander)
My Kingdom for Some Brain Bleach!
Survive being an author for Flash Fiction Jam - Bad Fiction Edition.
I'm Officially Official!
Get published for the first time.
So a few explanations and a couple of plugs are in order.
~The Charitable Munch- I had all the authors involved in the anthology sign a copy so it could go into the auction. It helped that there were no more prints available by midday Saturday.
~The Munch-sized Munch- This actually happened at the Closing Ceremonies when the HMs were announced XD
~The Yowling Munch- I was invited to Fangs and Fonts' "Shit Writers Say" and it was a blast. According to Tarl aka The Voice, it was the most intense episode they had. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but he had a big shit-eating grin when saying that if that helps. I'll link to their page once I get to an actual computer.
~The Professional Munch- I officially spoke on four writing panels this year, though I really didn't feel like the flash fiction panel was so much something to speak in as a shared trip into sadomasochism (more on that later!). The Collaborative Writing one was meh, but it was a non smut panel at 10pm so I was expecting that xp I was humbled during Writing 101 with the big name authors that were there, but I'd like to think I contributed at least a bit to it. Oddly enough, the one I was dreading the most, The Dreaded Mary Sue, was the one I had the most fun with of the three. I think it helped that it was held in the suite, so there was more of a casual feel to it.
~The Scribing/Honorable Munch- Yes, I will be reworking my entry for next year's anthology. It should be a fun one.
~My Kingdom for some Brain Bleach- Not only was it three authors writing at their worst for an hour based on suggestions given by the audience, we were feeding each other ideas along the way. Not only did we read these wretched little monsters out loud, we were recorded reading them. As if this wasn't masochistic enough, the challenge has been set to grab the recording once it's posted and to share it on our fa's. To up the ante, I even saved my story so I can post it with the recording. Be afraid, be very afraid!
~I'm Officially Official- Yep, I'm finally a published author! Tech Flesh is the third story in Furtual Horizons along with stories by Kyell Gold, Tarl "The Voice" Hoch, Ocean Tigrox, and Shelly and David Alan just to name a few! It's definitely an honor to be published in the same anthology as such well-established writers and new promising writers and I hope I can join them again for next year's anthology. You can buy your copy now for $10 at FurPlanet. This is a non-for-profit and all the money will be going to charity.
That wound up being a whole lot longer than I planned x.x Sorry for the rambling and any bad grammar or anything but I'm typing this all up on my phone and still feel half asleep >.<
