Takin Care O Business

[l_the_fangirl]

Afternoon to y'all.

Spent the morning working on the house - living in a house my parents are renovating, and they removed the chimney, so I'm stacking bricks. Good workout, actually; I lost an inch doing it. 57'' is a horrible waistline size, but it beats the hell out of 58'': 56 and no or bust next week, here's hoping.

Applying for some jobs! Going to the farmer's market with a stack of resumes this weekend, hoping to snag a job as a cook for a prepackaged food company or as a farmhand. Wish me luck, guys.

Last weekend, spent some time with universal_queen, Feyna, Henry and Ben - Bliss Stage game, plus shit-shooting and dinner. Made spaghetti with pesto cream sauce - always a winner - and fried some fish, which... didn't work as well. Next time, Elli, deep fry: don't half-ass it.

And speaking of Bliss Stage - those just tuning in, I've been tapped for a fan-project, a Visual Novel for PC's (and Macs, come to that). I mentioned that I might want to post some Interludes from same, and...

Well, I still do, but I'd like to structure it as if it were a rough play-through of the game. Not at this site: I'd like it to be a little more... uh... secure. But at another site.

If you'd be interested in being part of this... shall we call it a Let's Write? Then post here, and I'll invite you to the site.

Soitenly!

[metalfatigue]

Yeah, sure.

What kind of critique will you be expecting?

[l-the-fangirl.livejournal.com]

First off, just vote on scenes you want to see next - it's organized like an LP/playthrough of the game. I'll abstract the combat a bit, but will accept suggestions for Hotshot options (as well as point out things that are ripe for them).

Second, just - harsh-but-fair constructive criticism. Be ruthless, but be polite. Fridge logic, odd characterization, 'this character annoys me for X reason' sort of thing.

*Sniff, sniff*. Hmm. I smell an opportunity to be massively pedantic about grammar *and be thanked for it!*

So yeah, sign me up.

On the other hand, you know what I'm like with follow-through (joining that LJ group for example. Yeah, that *really* happened.) Still, I'll try.

This. But expect a lot of STET because Josh don't freaking care 'bout Strunk and White.
