ADDENDUM – I have just sent the removal request. I’ll be editing the posts and stats page momentarily. I should have listened to my inner voice to begin with.

I made a sale, but do I want to sign the as of yet, non-existant contract? I’ve had advice on the pro side, and advice on the con side. Mostly folks are telling me I have to make up my own mind, which I know to be true, but I can’t let go of the “I made a sale” …

Whispers is my steampunk slipstream sorta kinda half-assed fanish fiction. I don’t consider it fan fiction, because the only thing other than ambiance that comes from the game (the Thief series, if anyone knows what I’m talking about) are references to similar places. Maybe groups of people..
Wait, does that make it fan fiction? Crap. :-/ Well, I still don’t think this classifies as fan fiction. x-P
Anyway, to get into the mood for working on this WiP from 2006, I thought I’d watch some Thief-related material at Youtube. I found …

Years ago I used to watch – someone – play Looking Glass Studios’ Thief: The Dark Project. Then it was Thief: Gold, then Thief: The Metal Age. I watched, because I suck at games. Srsly sck. Anyway, this has always been my favorite cutscene. Enjoy!

Well now, that’d be cutting and telling, wouldn’t it? It depends on the kind …

When I was at the college, we did a lot of keyboarding lessons. Well, not so much lessons as practice thingys. One was TyperShark at Popcap games, the other was the Typing Test at Learn2Type. I went over there tonight (because it’s not like I don’t have a zillion more productive things to do) and cap’d my test results:

The score hasn’t changed much since 2005. Damn it. I’ve been wanting 90!

Editing
Finished up two client projects, both of which I enjoyed. I don’t often enjoy while I’m editing but I’ve found that a lot of the stuff crossing my screen is pretty good. Lately.
I have one project on the desk that’s taking a lot of time now, and I’ll probably have to set aside a lot of other things to get it done. If I get bitchy with ya’ll, please excuse me. It’s not you, it’s me….

Wri-Ye
Well, I crapped out the last two weeks of January. I guess that’s not …

Please be patient while I work on the site. Only visuals should change, so if anything ends up broken, or you can’t see something, please feel free to holler by posting a comment.
Thanks – hopefully this won’t take long!
