Dragoness Eclectic's Lair

Updates from Dreamwidth	Highlights
Jan 25, 2012: ラディツ　の　りょうこ、一 This is the first in a series of practices in composing in beginning Japanese. It is also a test of Dreamwidth's ability to handle Japanese, and my ability to handle Microsoft IME. Initially, the vignettes will be in script format, because I don't know how to write narrative in Japanese yet. Since I can't write in kanji yet, either, I will put spaces between words. ( Lots of kana characters ) comments Jan 2, 2012: Snowflake Challenge Day 2: Favorite Fanworks by Others Again, from akamine_chan's meme: Day 2 In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. ( Recs ahoy! ) comments Jan 1, 2012: Snowflake Challenge Day 1: My Best Fanworks At the prompting of this thread by akamine_chan, I am posting a short list of what I consider my best fanworks--in my case, fanfiction. This is work that I recommend for reading; that is not to say that my other fanfics are bad or not good--just that these are my best or favorites. Some of them are follow-ups to earlier, less-stellar writing, so you may notice author's notes in some of the stories recommending previous works to read for continuity's sake that are not on the following list. All but the most "mature" (in that oddly immature sense of 'has sex in it') of my fanfics are up at the FF.net page for Dragoness Eclectic. All stories written under the pen name of Dragoness Eclectic are available from my website at http://www.republicofnewhome.org/lair3/. These versions are less likely to have the formatting futzed up by Fanfiction.net's War on Punctuation, but there's no provision for leaving comments there, either. ( Here be The List ) comments Jan 1, 2012: Happy New Year! Happy New Year, everyone! May 2012 be a blessed year, a good year for all of you! comments Dec 26, 2011: Merry Christmas and Good Yuletide! To everyone: Merry Christmas! Things went rather well--we had a nice Christmas dinner of a somewhat non-traditional Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce because I am sick of turkey, with Sunday Dinner Mashed Potatoes (by request), a tossed salad, sautéed yellow squash, and 24-Hour Salad. Rochelle, thank you for the cheesecake, we enjoyed it very much. Ravyn, your gift arrived in time, thank you very much. It will go to good and tasty use! Now the day after Christmas, we can sit back, relax, eat leftovers, and cheer for the Saints. May you all have a happy Yule season! comments Dec 1, 2011: Christmas Wish List My annual list of presents I would enjoy, for the benefit of friends and relatives who don't see me all that much. Mom, also point Jeff & Russ & everyone at this entry. Books & DVDs - Go straight to Amazon wish list (Needs a few things added to it, but I don't own anything on this list) House & garden - some low-light, neglect-tolerant houseplants for my cubicle. - African violets - hardy orchids Clothes & stuff - fleece-lined mocassin slippers (size 8-8 1/2) - Spiffy t-shirt. Size XL, prefer pretty pictures to clever sayings. - sweatshirt, size XL, with pretty pictures. Southwest Indian Foundation has some I really like. - fancy scented soaps & body washes.
