soooo....Happy New Year. For the first time in years and years I actually watched New Year's Eve programming (and watched it sober) and wow is it obnoxious. Anyway...so what have I been up to writing/reccing-wise you might wonder. Or might not. Whatever. I was working my way through Without a Trace fics and noticing the serious lack of rapefic and good hurt/comfort fic-- and in a show with the hurt/comfort actually canon that's a disgrace. But then I got distracted by the holidays and then...YULETIDE. *sigh* I am currently working through Yuletide and being giggly and impressed and just pleased in general. It's always an awesome event. I will have recs eventually, even HET recs. Yeah, I know. Which brings me to my new love, the show Bones in all its cheesy tv straight couple sexual tension glory. BOOTH. reow. That's all I gotta say. Still, I could slash the two lab geeks if the occasion demanded.

Writing-wise...I've been plotting some WaT angsty porn in my spare moments, tapping away at a possible Ideas of Sin epilogue and, maybe, perhaps, returning to glare at the mess that is Rene at the moment. So...it's the New Year and one is supposed to make resolutions. I shall try to make mine easy to do...it'll make me feel accomplished.

Rispa's Writerly Resolutions: 2007

1. Finish IoS--not necessarily revise, although it could damn well use it.
2. Participate in one of the multi-fandom challenges. (The problem being I don't take part in any large fandoms, so I don't even know when these things are going on until it's too late. I am a slow writer and I need some warning. I don't know how to resolve this particular problem. Someone wanna clue me in?). Then I'll feel less guilty for only reading the results all the time.
3. Attend a fannish convention of some type if one happens near enough to where I live. I don't know if that would be a slash convention or a pirate convention or just one of the ST conventions that always comes to the Bay Area, but I need to see some sister-nerds. Of course, this will have the same problem as #2, as I won't know when or where the conventions are without knowing the ins and outs of the major fandoms.
4. Respond and post more in the comms I'm in.
5. Read and Rec more Original Slash (get pir8fancier to write Original Mystery Series based on her Slutty Grown-Up Draco Malfoy)
6. Poke around with a new Slashy Epic. ???? (Maybe that unfinished Robin Hood tragedy?)
7. Write more pr0n.


Anything I need to add?

and btw, THANK YOU FOR MY CLOVER, GRATEFUL IOS READER. *smiles*

Buffalo is the closest place I can get in the U.S. to make the drive to Toronto. I did it for a mystery conference a couple of years ago. It was a pain in the ass, but doable. The flight back takes AGES. You know, Southwest puddle jumping. But it's cheap.

Magic in restaurant-verse. MAIS OUI! In my pastry chef days, we dined out a LOT at uber expensive restaurants. Which is probably why I really like the down and dirty places these days. I would love to have a scene in some dive where fakeDraco is trying to hate the food because it isn't like Masa's quality, and yet loving the food. You know where we went for dinner, finally? Tiki Tom's in Walnut Creek. Have you ever been there? It's like the first non-chain restaurant I've eaten in (besides El Charro and the Great Wall) since I moved out here.

That's the kind of place I want Harry to own. Something with real tacky decor and good food. And he and Draco battle it out for best restaurant of 2007.

I have a good friend who is big in the wine business. Go figure. We were both history majors at Berkeley. I edit for pittance and he went to Davis and got a degree in enology and is now a millionaire. Anyway, he used to work crush at Mondavi and we went up to visit him and he took us in the back and was pouring cab reserves in the day when Mondavi really knew how to make wine. Fuck, it was like an orgasm in a glass. The best wine I've ever had.

mmm. you know...not to sound all marketing-y, but with teh gay and the san francisco bay area tie-in...you kind of already have a market. if it was hot enough (and it would be) you could sell a lot even if it was only out of places like Good Vibrations.

it's been a long time since i've had good red wine. mmmm.

my friend's used to live within walking distance of tiki tom's yet we never went there. however, i hear they have a limo service to charter drunkass back to their homes safely. sounds like a plan.

I really enjoyed it. Did you ever eat at Siam Cuisine in Berkeley before they tarted it up? It was a semi-smarmy bar that served really good Thai food before it went up-scale. This is like that but pre-upscale. And I can believe the bit about the limos because it looks like the kind of place where you sort of morally obligated to get tanked.

Yeah, looked at crappy mystery novel last night. Oh the horror!

Sorry. How close is it to finished? Or should I not ask?

3/4 quarters done. But you know, the last fourth has to be killer to carry the reader forward. Kind of a must in mysteries. I suck at plots, and this has ended up being largely a character-driven story, which is okay if you're writing romances, but a little plot here would help. Groan. But moving forward.
