Merry new year, my dear friends!
Thought i'd pop in.... I'm doing the Fandom Snowflake Challenge again this year, so you'll be seeing me post daily, I hope. :D



I've also been posting older Buffy fic over on my Scarecrow_Horses AO3 account. I'm trying to figure out if i can make that account a 'pseud' without losing all my comments and such, but I dunno....

ANYway - i'm happy to be getting those old fics up there, since quite a few are only in a now-closed community or on a website that has zero activity and moderation anymore. I don't want to lose them!



Our Xmas was low-key and on the slim side (money sucks), but we still had a great time. My little brother came down Xmas eve and we watched movies and ate too much chocolate (his fault), and then Xmas day, the ex-SO came over made a huge pot of chilli while we all hung out and talked. My mom and sis called, and basically it was just *nice*. Got a cedar tree from the woods and it made the house smell so good and it was a lot like old times, when I was a kid.

The cats got catnip mice, and Diana has spent most of her time knocking them under the closet door and then moaning around all pitiful, waiting for me to come 'rescue' them. That, or carrying them up onto my desk and dropping them perilously close to my water glass.

New Years...well, *this* household was pretty much asleep before midnight, heh. Anyway - here's to a new year, a new day, a new month, a new start to everything! I hope 2019 is full of joy and happiness for you all!




"... talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane."

My 'happy place' would be right here, at my desk, with my computer. Because 'in' my computer? Are all the worlds and places and people and things that bring me joy. Words, and ideas, and characters, and stories, stories, stories!

And the thing that keeps me sane - and makes me the happiest of all - is my dearest, bestest friend in all the world, Snow.
*hugs her*

She keeps me on an even keel and makes me feel good when everything else is stressing me the fuck out.

(And, also - my boys. My pretty, pretty boys that i sigh over and smile over and read and write and think about...yay!)

Cats with catnip are adorable. And annoying. But mostly adorable.

Glad to hear you had a good holiday, Happy New Year! :)

Man, I love this. It's so descriptive and true.

Also, your Christmas sounds lovely - best of luck with the new year.

Stories are the thing that helps us cope with our own true stories. Happiest of years ahead wished for you and your beloveds!

I couldn't change the name I originally registered with at AO3 without losing all my bookmarks and subs, so I added the pseud. Clunky and ugly, but one does what works, however limpingly. Good luck with the changes you want to make.

My happy place is in my computer or electronic device too. Great minds think a like! *g*

Glad you had a good holiday season despite slim wallets.

I wish I could help with the pseud issue but I've never tried it myself. However it seems that they should be saved: https://archiveofourown.org/faq/pseuds?language_id=en#setdefaultpseud

I'm glad your work won't be lost! I think your happy place is mostly mine as well -- except at my place ;)

Thanks for the good wishes on my post -- yes, things were a bit unexpected this year in the holiday department but I think we've all seen worse in 2018.
