Readings for the Cons ahead

Outlanta:
Death, Temperance, 10 of pentacles.
This con is going to be hugely transformative, changing everything. If I temper my response to change, there will be a financial legacy from it.

DucKon:
10 of swords, Magician, 9 of cups
Again, transformative, but I'm going to have to salvage my own happiness from a shitstorm. Power and skill will turn catastrophe into comfort and happiness.

Fandom Fest
8 of pentacles, knight of cups, Wheel of fortune
Hard work, almost drudgery, but it turns the wheel to start me on a journey of creativity. I'll need to be expressive and open and loving, even as I do the apprenticeship level work, because something good is about to happen.

RomantiCon
The Lovers, Ace of Sword, 3 of Pentacles
I'm going to have a lovely lesbianic weekend with bittermint and her sword toy... No, no no! (Ok, the cards aren't in a mood, i am)
If I keep working to my goals, and doing good work, I will ultimately be victorious. The lovers seems to imply the forming of a new writing partnership as well. There may be a choice about publishers or stories or editors or partners in the mix.

Gay Rom Lit
2 of swords, 5 of cups, Judgment
Torquere folks are going to hold me to account for never finishing the 2 of swords Arcana, but there's no use crying over spilt milk?
Gay rom is going to be tough. I am in stalemate, having pissed off a number of my colleagues over the years, and I may be called to account for that. Remember the two full cups I cannot see and don't be eaten by regret. Let bygones be bygones. Or for me to do just that, get along with everyone no matter what our history is, instead of being locked in the uncomfortable balance of past and present.

ConTraception
7 of wands, 3 of cups, Queen of Wands
This one will be a joyful challenge, but be confident and this con will be a great benefit to me.


I am living in interesting times.

Six Sentence Sunday

From the untitled cyberpunk:
Nodes flashed by, perceived as doors into practice rooms. The building was old and smelled of decaying plaster and ancient wood under the polish and fresh paint. The American net, like all US infrastructure, was antiquated, patched and kluged together a million times by hundreds of different companies, schools and others. The varieties of code, with their redundancies and odd loops made the old hall treacherous, the floors wavy and uneven, and occasional side halls leading to nowhere. She stayed out of the Euronet, with its clean wide halls, smooth floors and easy running. Too easy for her to be back-traced in the open spaces.
