Lily's Pond of Fictional Reflections

( So I'm working on bits and pieces of fics all over the place, as I always do, and managing to get exactly nowhere. )

Also: I've finally managed to get everything I have backed up, and also tracked down my reinstallation CD, so hopefully the trauma of the last nine months and the mess that iTunes made of my poor, poor laptop will soon be over. (Never trust poor punctuation, my friends! There's got to be something wrong with an uncapitalised proper noun!)

But... a reinstall! YAYAYAYAYAYAY! Go me!

In any case, I may be offline for a day or two. Hopefully the reinstall will go quickly and to plan, but if it doesn't... adieu! I shall return... eventually. With a shiny new install that will make my tired little laptop run like a rocket again! *dances at the prospect*

The first issue of the new monthly Orion Fanzine, The Observatory, is out!

It includes include general Artemis Fowl fandom news, details about popular authors and their fics, writing tips, canon Q&As, some humour articles, and more. It's intended to complement the Orion Awards' goal of showcasing quality writing by helping provide people with the means to improve their writing.

Visitors to my LJ may be particularly interested in my article: “Hook, Line, and Sinker – Writing an enticing summary”

So go check it out, and give us some feedback – because we’ve spent a lot of time putting it all together, and we’d love to hear whether we’re on the right track!
