Over the weekend I finished the covers for the two books I illustrated earlier this year... finally, two things I can cross off my to-do list. There was actual hopping-through-the-room after I was done. Also, bouncing up and down. I can't post the scans yet which sucks because I'm insanely happy with the artwork and want to share it with the world. Ah well.
***Original fiction rec: plaidder is serializing one of her original novels in her lj: 'Better To Burn' is the prequel to her 'Women On Fire' fantasy series. All four novels, set in the world of Ideire, are excellent. I don't read much original fiction these days, but her stories gripped me immediately, I was pretty much unable to put them down.

Background information & Chapter One: Rules
Chapter Two: Trapped
Chapter Three: Gifts, pt.I, pt.II
Plaidder plans to post the story in weekly installments; you must be over 18 and sign up to get added to her reading filter (the first three chapters are unlocked)
***drabble rec (BtVS): Changed by spuffyduds
G-rated; Joyce, pre-season 5.
Just hundred words, but they pack quite a punch.
***fic rec (NCIS): This Never Happens in the J. Edgar Hoover Building by kageygirl
Crack. With great character voices.
