Words words words
Jul. 15th, 2011 05:46 pmEarlier this week I helped my ten-year-old friend, Eris (the artist formerly known as Wee Babysitting Charge) format and illustrate a short story she'd written. It was a truly lovely day's work, because she is an incredibly clever and talented child and the story was delightful.
And also because it's been a long time since I felt that sheer joy of creating. Building something new and lovely, with someone whose company makes you happy. ( More of Mary blathering about writing and work and exhaustion and stuff )
In vaguely related news, I've added a few more old LOTR stories to AO3. I should have made more of a dent in the pile of fics still to put up, but I've been exhausted and unmotivated and blargh this week (with the exception of the delightful book-making day detailed at the start of this entry).
While I was going through those old stories, I remembered that I wrote a story for a Sam/Frodo zine this one time too, so I've also gone and updated the books and zines page at my site with some of the fannish stuff I'd forgotten about before. Man, I want to be in so many more zines. I love zines.
You know what would be awesome? In-world zines. Like, I want a zine set in the Killjoys universe! I want a zine set in the X-Men: First Class universe! I want a zine shop in Diagon Alley! I WANT ALL THE ZINES, BASICALLY.
