... and back on topic: I never, ever post a work in progress (I once rewrote and expanded a very early story of mine as a work in progress, but that was a different matter) because I do a lot of editing of early chapters during writing the later ones. This is particularly true when I'm writing a my...

It came up today that so many writers on A03 etc. have different ways of approaching fics and posting. I'm so very curious what people think, what they do, and why.... I have tended to start stories and post as I go, simply because I am the worst at waiting, especially when an idea excites me. I wan...

I know I've already said happy birthday, but why not say it again?

I hope it was the loveliest of birthdays, lovely Merry. We're all soooooo thankful you brought us together. Cheers!

Your Pippa

Thank you! That is helpful. I also miss having a blog. Back in the old Harry Potter days I had a livejournal where I could throw all sorts of random thoughts and ideas. But on the other hand this does rather force things to percolate and actually manifest in the form of reasonably coherent fiction....

By the way I skimmed back through the middle portion of Lady Chatterley's Lover to get a feel for the pheasant coop/hut logistics, and a) this book is actually pretty funny - kind of a bleak, saucy comedy, and b) Mellors reminds me so much of a younger Nicholas Higgins. I can't unsee it. Like, the ...

So I had a couple other ideas. It isn't very fleshed out, and not quite as spicy as my last idea. The characters would be a little OOC. Ideas # 1: A fic where Margret is the one to propose. -AU where the mill failing never happens - Margret's mother and father want to see her settled before they di...

So it's Tuesday now, but I finally found the picture I wanted to share yesterday. I don't know why but I'm drawn to this image over and over. I used this as the base to make a wallpaper aaaaages ago. (Which is why it took so long to dig it up. I had to find my external hard drive and sift through a...

WEEK FOURTEEN : February 3 Notes

AND THAT'S A WRAP FOLKS

the final chapter in Redeeming What Was Lost - my contribution to the Correspondence collection - is now up. Hope you all enjoy it - I had a lot of pleasure in reconstructing this collection of letters++ - researching to make the physicality of the letters feel real. It was a delicious story ! Make...

So many stories to read right now!

Daisy will be the death of me. And if I let her, is it my fault?

I've not heard of it. Have you looked into it?

Thanks, Pippa. I'm printing them all off. ME You/.....are?? I am, and I did! Thank you so much for sharing, especially for the others here who were not able to be there. I won't remember all the things we discussed, because my brain is a sieve; so it's nice to go, "Oh right, that's what we tal...

I guess I should have started here rather than the where we live thread, but I never do things in the right order, lol. Anyway, hi, I'm Holli or QC or Corbeau or whatever you want to call me, really. Louisiana native, transplanted to PA (and I do not miss LA summers though the winters here are too ...

First post here. Y'all live in some very interesting places that I'd love to visit someday. I was raised in Louisiana (nowhere interesting really) and have been in SC Pennsylvania for the last seven years. We aren't too terribly far from Gettysburg and live in a tiny mountain village that I love. I...

First post here. I am not a writer but I have had this idea stuck in my head for awhile. I would love for someone to pick it up. - takes place sometime after Margret leaves Milton. - do to financial circumstances Margret marries Mr. Bell - Mr. Bell wants an heir but is too old to get it up - offers...
