Today was a lot of fun. I went with my sister to the St. Patrick's Day Parade. It's usually held here the weekend before the holiday so as not to interfere with *the* St. Patrick's Day Parade in Southie in Boston. There were a lot of marching bands, Irish dancers, floats, and the Shriners' funny cars. :) We wore green, dozens of buttons, Irish hats, and jewelry. The day was warm (up in the 40s) and alternated between sunny and cloudy.

I'll be celebrating all week and on the day next Saturday, enjoying my Irish heritage and figuring my combativeness on certain issues probably stems from that part of my make-up. :)

I suppose my writing creativity could be helped by green genes, as the Irish are famous writers and poets, though spoken blarney is well-known, too! ;)

A few writing notes: one more chapter to go, and the first arc of "Rainbow's Freedom" (S/B) will be ready for posting. Parts 3 and 4 of "Announcement III: The Day After" (S/B) will be posted in the next few days. I've got glimmerings of a Bruce/Dick drabble for the [livejournal.com profile] batknights comm and a new B/D fic idea that I got today. I've got several more in various stages of WIPness, so I'm ridin' the Muses while they're hot, baby! :)

Well, it's been quite a week! After a week of *not* posting either fic or ramblings, the Muses nudged me (quite a bit, actually) and demanded I write at a white-hot pace! So that's why you got "Castle In The Clouds I: The Heir" every day for six days, and "Yellow Rose (The Morning After) on the sixth day. Maybe on the seventh day, I'll rest. ;)

Since I love to talk about writing, here I go! :) I looked over my Plot Bunny list and was pleased to see that several of them are in various stages. A few ideas might be shelved, but so far all seem viable. Since I love variety, there seem to be equal parts of Clark/Bruce and Bruce/Dick, and I still intend to write more Clark/Dick, too. There's so much to contemplate! I'm enjoying letting the Muses take me where they will.

Right now I'm working steadily on "Rainbow's Freedom" (long S/B series) and letting ideas simmer for a new installment of the S/B "Announcement" series. "The House Of El" is another backburner idea, but simmering makes the sauce rich and flavorful! :) "Epicurean Indulgences" has hit a bump (Muse is quiet on that one right now) but it's not shelved. There's also an untitled, uncertain-where-it's-going piece that could be shelved but I may revisit it to see if the Muses will kick in again. Oh, and more simmering: a piece that incorporates Pagan elements in it that is a sequel to a story that I read, and in which the author graciously granted me permission to continue.

For the Bat and his little bird, I have two parts of a four-part series, "Destiny" written, and that Muse is quiet right now, too. It'll come, it'll come. :) I'm interested in a new installment of "Castle In The Clouds" (the boys came out to the civilian community, but how will the superhero community react?), and there's positively sorrowful ideas for a continuation of "Twist Of Fate". I really have to be in the mood for writing that one! I need some hankies. *sniff* I also have a very dark drabble that may or may not see the light of day, and hopefully a humorous one that will showcase Dick being a tease, the brat. :)

And, finally, my ongoing WILD WILD WEST piece for the zine SIN & SALVATION is slowly moving forward. Good thing I have 'til Labor Day for that one! :)

I always like to take stock, so to speak, on occasion. It helps me rummage around the Bunny drawer and sort through everything. My Bunnies include long series, ongoing series, drama, humor, angst, and romance. With sex! :) Aah, my writing muscles are feeling all nice and stretched!

Now watch me hit the wall after all this! LOL! But I've done my sorting, like the Sorting Hat, and will see what's on my flist now. Top o' the day to ye!

Well, I've been a DC fangirl my whole life, still loving the characters even after I stopped buying the comics, and now I've plunged full-force into the online fandom! I've noticed a few things:

DC fandom is delightfully mature. Despite all the many pairings we can come up (I'll talk slash for the moment as it's what I usually read and write, but there will be a gen observation to come), such as Bruce/Dick, Dick/Roy, Bruce/Clark, and an infinite amount of others, there are very few 'wars' (My pairing is better than *your* pairing!) and stuff that has happened in other fandoms. If people don't care for a particular pairing, the world doesn't come to an end. They just move on. The old Star Trek concept of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations) actually seems to *work* in DC fandom! People enjoy the pairings they like, may sample new ones, but no one is saying they *have* to like so-and-so. And even if you say your pairing is the OTP, it's done with pride, not arrogance. *You* believe it's the OTP, but you are perfectly OK with others having their OTPs, too. People seem pretty courteous in DC LJ-Land, or at least the communities I've joined. It's refreshing! All you fans should give yourselves a well-deserved pat on the back! :)

And that includes the fact that people co-exist between the gen and slash communities. I'm sure there has been some friction at some time, but believe me when I say I've seen friction between genners and slashers that can get pretty heated! DC seems (at least to my knowledge) to avoid that. So happy days again! :)

Now I could be wrong about this and people might have their horror stories to tell, but I'm working from my own observations. I was warmly welcomed into DC online fandom and am very happy here. Keep up the good work, folks!

Well, it's another Valentine's Day. Seems like a great holiday for those of us who love slash, eh? :) We can write sappy stories and pour out chocolate over the strawberries and pop the champagne bottles, and you know, a little sappiness isn't such a bad thing considering the world we live in. When people fight so hard to prevent love (homophobes, I mean you), it makes me wonder. Isn't the world short of love as it is?

Friendship is a big part of romantic love, IMO. Our favorite slash couples are often friends first, who progress naturally to romance. It's a nice place to start.

Hope all had a lovely Valentine's Day and are enjoying the evening. Virtual chocolate and strawberries to all of you, with a few diamonds mixed in! ;)
