Concert on the website
Jul. 23rd, 2011 11:10 pmIf you prefer, you can watch the whole concert on my website, via YouTube. I didn't want to have to re-upload to get it on my site, and YouTube has the nifty annotations.
Website updates =)
Jul. 11th, 2011 01:56 amI added the five drabbles I wrote for the Kickstart Meme, you can check the list on the front page. =)
new Glee fic!
May. 29th, 2011 04:42 pmFive Times Puck and Rachel Broke Up and the One Time They Didn't can be found here, at the bottom. Prompted by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

It's (obviously) Puckleberry, but there's a smattering of Kurt/Klaine references. =)

new Glee fic on my site!
May. 9th, 2011 04:53 amMother's Day-themed Klaine fluff can be found here, at the bottom of the page: Family Dynamic
I got it up before I went to bed on Mother's Day. It still counts, right?

Just spoke with the mod, and the poll will be open until about 5 AM, my time. (Central time. GMT -6 and whatnot.) The voting is so close they wanted to be sure and give the full week to vote, instead of cutting it short by a few hours. Because it might actually count.
So I'll be able to check in the morning while I get ready for work. There's no way I'm staying up, not when I have to work tomorrow, and it's already too late for me to go to bed early enough to get up that early. (I could try, but I'd snooze through my alarms, I know I would, and then I'd end up being late to work, so...yeah.)
On the bright side, win or lose, I'll be putting it on my website tomorrow after work.
AND another Glee fic that I revised tonight.
AND an Animorphs ficlet. (It's <400 words.) I'm the least sure about this one. It's dark and twisted and kind of..."adult." For me.

That is all.
(Oh, and if you go here, there's a never-before-published Glee fanfic: "The Sex Talk." In which Blaine insists that Kurt needs...educating, and then Burt wonders just why Blaine was so insistent that Kurt needed...educating.)
(Also, while there's an Animorphs fic section set up, it is sadly empty so far. But I'm working on it!)
(And if you encounter anything not working, please let me know!)

watching GLEE! and sharing stuff of note
Apr. 19th, 2011 07:20 pmCannot decide if Glee covering Friday is awesome or terrifying.
Celbrity Abs Guess Who--someone I care more about this time, but I still had to read the hint.
I'm usually at the far right, or second to far right. =)
(On Glee: why does Charice have an accent when she speaks but not when she sings?)
ZOMG FIGWIT!
Old news by now, but YAY for Andy Serkis.
I made cupcakes last Saturday, but I should've made these. And yes, that moment WAS so exciting!
Working on my website, too. No more excuses.

My domain now goes to a Weebly placeholder! =D
Had to call GoDaddy customer service. Their commercials suck, but everyone on the internet who said they have the best service was right. =D
Waiting on code from Cody. Will likely have the site up and running...tonight or tomorrow? =D

Website still pending. I used GoDaddy's instructions this time, even though they said almost exactly the same thing. =/ If it hasn't switched to the Weebly placeholder by 6 PM Tuesday I'll call them.
My Animorphs fic has been accepted to the competition! I'd say vote for me, but it's all anonymous and telling you which fic is mine would get me booted, so...yeah. (Also, voting hasn't started. Deadline is like three weeks from tomorrow.)

website update
Apr. 3rd, 2011 03:20 pmIt is STILL somehow not linked to Weebly yet, after more than 48 hours. Contacted GoDaddy support last night and they have emailed back instructions; I'll try that, and if nothing has happened in 48 more hours, then I'll just straight up call them. =/
I guess it's okay since there's three pages left to be built anyway and I'm waiting on code from Cody for that. But grr.
In the meantime, basking in the Klaine goodness that can be found on DeviantArt. (Muchacha10 is like my new favorite person. Klaine as Disney princes? YESPLZ.)
Oh and I have seriously got to get some writing done. GAH.Hopefully Shelly won't kill me.
A couple days ago I finished an Animorphs fic that I was writing just because the idea hit me, but it occurred to me that it could very well work for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
animorphs Fanfic/Fanart competition, which is good because if it wins I would have a nice shiny banner to put on my site, but is also kind of bad because it means I can't publish it until the contest is over (which won't be for something like two months). I need to send it in because there's a slight chance that it doesn't quite fit the theme (it does and it doesn't, in my mind) and if it's going to get rejected I want plenty of time to do a new entry. SO nervous. I did message the mod over there and based on what I told...him? Her? I'm not sure, now that I think about it...anyway, I was told that it sounded like it might work. GAH. Sending now.

In other news, I have purchased my domain: http://rena-librarian.com/
There's nothing there yet but a GoDaddy (hate the ads, but they're the cheapest and most reputable) placeholder page; I've linked it to my Weebly account but they said it would take about 24 hours to go into effect, so any minute now it SHOULD switch to a Weebly 404/placeholder page (since I haven't actually published the site).
I imagine it may be a few days before I do. I'm having nerves about the whole shebang, plus I have one last page to get together.
And writing to do. OMG. Inspiration and time to write are just always inversely proportional. Gah.

In a sudden fit of "OMG I SUCK! I'M SUCH A HACK!" I've decided not to post any of my colored pencil art on my site. It looks pretty sucky when translated to digital, especially when being showcased next to the things I HAVE done digitally.
So I have a grand total of four pieces of real art on there. >_< (There's a page of photos and pages for sketches, but they're just kind of there. The actual art is on a page of thumbnails, and when you click it takes you to a page with the full-size image and comments enabled. I think--hope--you'll be able to click through for the full sketches or photos where they are, but not be able to leave comments.)
That being said...now I want to bust open Photoshop and quit procrastinating on recoloring some/all of them.
"Can't really call that a loss or a win." --Moxy Früvous, "The Drinking Song"
...On the other hand, that means my site is like 95% complete all of a sudden. So maybe it is a win!

tired of snow days, kinda
Feb. 10th, 2011 05:18 amI love snow. I don't love cleaning off my car in the mornings, or missing work. =(
( Memes. )
The website is just about half-built--I have one last piece of writing to put up, and I'm putting it off because it's epic long and I'm rereading everything as I post it. (I quite enjoyed reading one particular Digimon fanfic that I flat forgot I wrote. I remembered the story as having two chapters, but I thought the events of the first chapter were just split in half between them. Nope. Chapter two was three years later. Totally forgot about everything that had happened in chapter two. Kinda remembered as I was going along.)
Then to tackle art. I think there will be some sorting done; I'm not entirely sure I even want to post anything that's a colored-pencil drawing on paper, but that means I'll have precious little art to post until I, well, make more. On the other hand I could have a "this is really old and sucky don't look" page and then have more emphasis on newer stuff. (I have tinkered around with my colored pencil pics and it wouldn't be impossible to recolor, where the lineart is good, and I may with some of the ones that still mean a lot to me.)
Not sure when the site will actually go live; I have to buy a domain, yet, and frankly we're broke. I had been thinking I'd be able to do it this payday but this damn snow has screwed us out of several days of wages because neither of us can drive on it. Blergh.
On the creative front, I've committed myself to helping research an Animorphs-themed infographic--they've asked people to reread books and take down the number of times different things pop up, and I was rereading some of the end-of-series books anyway because I'm also wanting to write an alternate-ending fanfic. I've also committed to writing a character in a sort of Round-Robin kind of fic, also based on Animorphs--I've gotten fairly involved in theanimorphs community here and I see these awesome projects being proposed. =D Oh, and they just announced the second fanart/fanfic competition and I'm going to try and enter that, but not sure if the inspiration is striking. (Yet? I don't even know if I'd rather write or draw...) And there's actually one other fanfic idea brewing but it would involve even more rereading and I think I want to get some of this other stuff out of the way before I think about it too much.
Also I've been sketching a lot, at work on my breaks instead of reading. Mostly trying to hash out a new character design--I finally got one I liked--for some original stuff, but the whole thing has a long way to go, so I don't want to say too much. Long story short, I'm taking a character I originally created for RP purposes and since she's the only thing that's really mine I'm having to recreate everything else around her. Not sure how much of the plot I want/will be able to reuse, but not sure yet where else, exactly, she'll make sense. (This also renders my 2008 NaNoWriMo novel--I won, thankyouverymuch--so many pages of wasted effort. But I'm going to try again this year.)
And I was looking at a couple of fanfics I had in-progress (trying to keep everything backed up, considering that the computer-grinding has gotten worse) and am now considering the idea that maybe some of these plotlines needn't be tied to a fandom--ie, it's a good idea by itself and I could probably execute it with all original characters. Needs moar mulling over, though.
TL;DR--going through creative upheaval, which kind of sucks, but is also kind of great considering how long it's been since I've really been creative.
In other news, I found out how one goes about making non-square-based tiled images, and I kind of did a mental facepalm when I read it. Then I proceeded to make myself a tiling desktop wallpaper. =)
Ugh. Just checked the road conditions map of Arkansas, and there's not a single piece in the entire state showing "clear." Epic.
Okay then. Going to bed.
