hey, all. as a couple of you already know, i gave in and signed up for NaNoWriMo (because i am weak D:). so far I've been keeping up, but i just figured out that they were giving out free codes to NaNoWriMo participants. so i up and grabbed one, and now i'll be posting all my novel stuff, the good and the bad, up on that journal. because, apparently it's not enough for me to be laughing at myself, i want other people to do it, too. so if you've an interest in following along with my NaNo novel, it's over on
tachycardiac. and if you get the joke in that username, then you are awesome.
be forewarned though that it is totally absurd. seriously, the a/n goes: this story is the most ridiculous thing I've ever written. it involves aliens, transvestites, alien transvestites, super powers, a race of shape-shifters, a threesome that should not have happened but continues to do so, a space dragon (you read that correctly: a space dragon), one character, at least, that talks like an intergalactic Valley Girl, a rather absurd amnesia plot, and the ensuing wacky hijinks. it's the worst kind of science fiction, and anyone with a decent sense of shame would have scrapped it long ago. so it's a good thing I have no sense of shame.
seriously, this is a rewrite of a novel i attempted to write when i was
ten (the sad part is I got about 60 pages into it, which is more than i've written of any novel since). it was never going to be anything but ridiculous. but i, at least, am having a lot of fun writing it.
