Official writingness stuff

I'm a Semi-finalist for a Darrell Award. This is, and I quote, " The purpose of the Awards is to promote literacy in the Mid-South by recognizing the best published regional science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

To qualify, an author must live in the MidSouth region -- an expanded "Greater Memphis" area OR the work in question must feature Memphis and/or the area in a prominent way. Additionally, the Darrell Awards are currently intended to recognize Science Fiction or Fantasy (including Horror), so general fiction and non-fiction do not qualify at this time."


And I just realized, last night, that "Cake Under the Mistletoe" abbreviates to CuM. *snerk* (I'm 12 sometimes. Bun rolls her eyes at my immaturity)

If I get to the finals, I'll have to read from it. The first few pages are innocuous enough, and I have altered the line about college getting him his first blowjob.

This is actually for charlesks, dakiwiboid, jaewalker and firefly67, in memory of the Vampyres@guvm list.

(The whole thing is available here for $2)

( the cutting for the banquet, should I need it. )

Anyway, Mudd is off today for the start of his Spring Break. I've found all my missing library books. And I want to get my paycheck from CBU.

So, basic corned beef and cabbage.
