Wordsmith. Witch. G33k. Shutterbug. Hive Cryptoblogger.
Today marks the day that I feel I've become a real writer. No, not because I'm working on my fifth Maeve Sawyer book (for a total of seven, first draft novels sitting on my hard drive). And not for the other bazillions of reasons I should know I'm already a real writer. But for me,... Continue Reading →
I can't believe I've done almost a years worth of Fandom Fridays, and haven't yet mentioned World of Warcraft! I've been playing since the second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King (so, around 2008-ish). We have a family guild called, "Unholy Humanity" because we acquired it, in-game, from someone selling it for gold (now, after... Continue Reading →
As of October 17th, 2015, it's official. The DubsmashWar winner is.... *drum roll* TEAM CARTER! https://twitter.com/DubSmashWar/status/655240573608062977 The official results, and all the videos are up on Crowdrise, host of DubSmashWar. However, I think it's okay for me to say that Team Carter raised $79,808 for STOMP OUT BULLYING! and Team Shield raised $75,257 for St.... Continue Reading →
DubsmashWar Round Three has begun! They've added another incentive to the voting public - every $25 donation enters you to win a video chat with either #TeamCarter or #TeamShield (depending on who you donated to). Not to mention, each $1 donation (which equals one vote) also puts you in the running for the grand prize... Continue Reading →
BAD G33k! I completely spaced the ongoing battle, and DubsmashWar Round Two began without me! Okay, so technically I have nothing to do with the Dubsmash, but still - I feel I've let my heroes down by not proclaiming to geek all and sundry that new Marvelousness had been posted. Once again, as I mentioned... Continue Reading →
It's here! DubsmashWar Round One has begun! Well, kind of - Team Carter has their submission up, but Team Shield is radio silent... hmmm... hope this doesn't mean Loki is misbehaving again... Because this war is also raising money for charity, they've asked that people not embed videos for the duration. So, please click on... Continue Reading →
No, I don't mean killjoys in the spoilsport, sourpuss, stick-in-the-mud kind of way (though I've answered to those appellations once or twice). I mean KIlljoys, the latest space opera offering from the folks at SyFy (aka Skiffy). The first season just came to a close on August 21st, and I'm hoping against hope that we... Continue Reading →
Now that I've consistently posted entries three times a week for close to a year (and daily last November), I've turned my focus to finding my audience. My peeps. My fan base. Lately, when I'm pondering possible platitudes to entice people here, this song by Genesis pops into my head - "I will follow you... Continue Reading →
*SQUEEEEEEEEEE* It's here! The big announcement we've been waiting for since DubsmashWar erupted out of the 2015 SDCC last month. If you missed my blog post last month, no worries - I'll wait here while you pop over and catch up. You're back already? Wow, you're a fast reader. Okay, so now that you're up... Continue Reading →
The Rocky Horror Picture Show movie turns 40 today (why am I not surprised it has a Leo birthday... *grin*)! If you've somehow missed the visual and musical feast that is RHPS, here are a couple of relevant bits from Wikipedia - The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 British-American musical comedy horror film...

Today is the thirty-fifth birthday of Harry Potter, and the fiftieth birthday of his creator, JK Rowling. As I mentioned at the beginning of the month, JK was born a mere two days after yours truly, and it makes me ridiculously happy to count her among the extra-special July Leos (special because we're outnumbered by...

Today, for the first time ever, I have a guest blogger! Please welcome New Hampshire author J.E. Seymour to the Fandom Friday space. The Geekiest Place on Earth by J.E. Seymour I’m a geek. I’ve always been a geek, even if I didn’t really understand what a geek was, way back in the seventies. I... Continue Reading →
