Right then. And Now, The News.

This is the first in about four posts I'm putting up this morning, three of which are about writing. This first one however, is a bit of an announcement. Many of you who know me on FurryMUCK or Altered Realities may have heard this already. This year at Midwest Furfest I will NOT be holding a Tea Party. The reason is simple: I had two years of single-digit attendance, and with numbers that low I can't afford to drop $50-odd dollars and 30+ hours to set it up. And those costs are just considering the cookies!

I'll still have tea and cookies, just not as many, and no formal party. I'll be at the hotel as of the Wednesday before the con, so I'll see people there! I just put in my time off request, and as soon as I'm done futzing with LiveJournal, I'll be getting my train tickets.

In other news, the Halloween party that I throw every is once again on for the 31st of October, aka Halloween night. Turkey and much food will be had as usual, and if you were here last year you're prolly welcome this year. I'll get emails out to people soonish. :)

Post #2- The Horror Writeup!

And here's the latest of the Buffy Horror Campaign writeups, which turns out to be the 30th that I've done... Or 29- I think someone else wrote one of them. O well. ;)

Post #3- The Edited 'Gregori's Last Walk'

This is the edited version of the story I wrote about Illyana's family. There were a fair number of changes, mostly correcting tense-issues and clumsy wording, plus the changes to how I'm doing dialogue. That should be showing up in the gamerun writeups as well. The original can be found at [ http://sorien.livejournal.com/174629.html ]. Let me know what you think- I think I'm improving a lot. :)

Post #4- Deyn's Story, Aftermath Reconciled, Edited

And here's the edited version of the story I wrote which takes place after one of the Traveller runs. The original can be found at ( http://sorien.livejournal.com/171642.html ). Once again, pleasepleasePLEASE let me know what you think of these stories; critiques of how I'm handling dialogue are especially welcome, as are letting me know where I've messed up the tense.
