As my muse moves

You’d think that, in this time of shelter-in-place orders, I’d be writing up a storm, editing my work, finishing my works-in-progress. You’d be wrong. I’ve been sewing–making masks and finishing a very old quilt project. I’ve been playing video games. Doing chores. Gardening. Worrying about my parents. Chauffeuring the essential workers in my family. I’ve been ordering groceries as my kids won’t let me shop. I finally broke quarantine the other day, after the hair salons opened. But I haven’t…

Among Thunderbirds fans, both in the UK and worldwide, September 30th is “Thunderbirds Day”. It commemorates the first airing of “Trapped in the Sky” back in 1965. For many fanfiction writers, October is “Whumptober”, where the entire month is dedicated to stories whumping on (or beating up) a fandom’s main characters. I wasn’t thinking of Whumptober when I wrote the one-shot, but it may have had some small influence. I just thought about why a day might have been named…

I have all the previously formatted stories up in draft form. I have no idea how long it’s going to take me to edit all those chapters. Unfortunately, Overtures and Moonstrike! aren’t formatted at all so it’s going to take a bit for me to take care of them. I’m thinking that viewing source is probably my best way to go in this situation. I still hate that fanfiction.net has removed their HTML coding tool…

If you click on the novel title, it’ll take you to an index page where you’ll find links…

Opening Day has come! I’ve created a redirect from my old site to this one, so anyone going there will be brought here instead. I’ve started posting the novels here, beginning with The White Winds. That in itself will take a while, but I can do it chapter by chapter. The latest, all new chapter of Burning Muses is up. I’ll post that at fanfiction.net later this month, probably before NaNoWriMo starts. I’ve also created an Updates box for the…

It looks like Twenty-Fourteen may be the ticket for the site. It’s not perfect; I can’t put up a proper header image as the height is far too small to get the image I want.  But thanks to Darrell Dow at Stuff Fundies Like, I snagged a plugin that allowed me to change the colors of the home page.  I’m also researching various plugins that will allow me to change the fonts if I so choose. I’m having trouble snagging…
