Transplanted, rebooted, and still cranky.

FWIW, I'm over at Ij. Sorry--looks like Gj here's going down and shall shortly be lost amongst the tubes of the internet. :(

I've added fairies to the list of things in fantasy-type fiction that I can no longer stomach. When I could spill a coffee in the YA section and easily hit at least eight fairy books (three of which are about how the main female character is a lost fairy princess/needs to become the fairy queen), then I'd think it's pretty safe to say that authors need to get the fuck off that bandwagon.

This makes me sad, because Gregory Maguire wrote a YA tooth fairy story and I'm curious, but am not sure I could bring myself to get through it.

So instead I've picked up Kelley Armstrong's Dime Store Magic. Her characterization doesn't seem to be quite as smooth as in No Humans Involved, but thus far I'm easily able to forgive her for it. Here's to hoping for the best.



Okay. So Borders put out an employee newsletter where they went on about the success of their proprietary publishing venture, then told employees they'd love to publish someone from within the company & to send in a manuscript by January. To the best of my understanding, ( I am not seeing how this is a good idea. )

OHGOD. IT'S PURPLE!
I must keep procrastinating, I mean, fix this soon.


Ok, so mint green and gray is better than OMGWTFPURPLE. Now to get the rest of my stuff straight.
