Alright, alright, I give in! I've resisted the making of an author page, and in fact demanded that it be removed from mine when they were first instituted. But there have been too many people asking for easy access to my stories.

Rain is kinda nice for the image. Me, standing on a corner, trenchcoat, rumpled tie, and fedora cocked down low over my forehead, rain dripping off whilst I lean unconcernedly on the lamppost. Adds to my Mystique. Adds a bit to my Nightcrawler, too, but that's another yarn.

Return of the ...

Well, hopefully. I've been working lots most of the Summer, and what time not at work I've been too tired to do anything even with friends... let alone write. Things are calming down, so I'm gonna try to pull things back out and finish the old and put out the new.

Weight / Size

Author: 

Most of my life, I was thin/skinny/beanpole etc. But just before I found Topshelf -- and maybe part of why I found my way here -- I got severely ill. It was in the late Spring or early Summer (depending on your definition of early June) 2006, and I was probably a size... 6 or 8 in US women's sizes, I forget. But I got deathly ill. There are other things that happened that day, but the practical upshot was I was completely bedridden for about 9 months, and could only make it 15-20 feet at a time for the next couple months after that.

Andy Griffith dead at 86

As much a part of U.S. culture through the 20th century as anyone could be, Andy Griffith has died.

Story here

Best known as Sheriff Andy Taylor, though not far behind was his role as lawyer Ben Matlock.

Edited to add: The first headline I saw about this read:

Sheriff confirms Andy Griffith dead at 86

And I just couldn't help but think... wait... wasn't HE the sheriff?

Edeyn So, I received a Private Message inquiring into a couple of my projects that have been left hanging, and my intentions as to those projects... I responded, and then thought that perhaps others would like to know as well. I mean, I may not be worth caring about, but some of my stories might be...

Working hard

I have not been around much as of late. Some few of you may have noticed and/or missed me, but I rather suspect that with the plethora of new talent and engaging stories, there're also a lot of new readers -- and the vast majority probably haven't a clue even who I am.

A bit of an update on me. I am working 2 jobs now -- both part time.

One of them is a blah-boring-market research firm. Would you like to take a survey?

The other... is the now-famous for its slogan, "Eat Fresh!" and the spokesman that is half the man he used to be, Jared... Subway!

Help! Some of you may remember...

Edeyn ... back in early 2009, I was in pretty dire straits, and asked for help. Some of you responded wonderfully, with a loan through PayPal... and then PayPal and I had issues, and I ended up having to refund the help people sent! It is exceedingly hard to know that there is help, but it's just out of reach, you know?

Edeyn You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn't black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing. You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing. I'm tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I'm trying to do the right thing, and that's where I'm going with this.

Slow recovery

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Edeyn Many of you are aware that I severely broke my arm in November of 2009. Many of you are aware that before that time, I had the ability to type quite fast and efficiently -- in excess of 120 words per minute. And... most who are aware of both are also aware that when I was done with PT, I lamented the loss of over 65% of that speed.

Postponed Project

Author: 

There is a project I've been working on for some months now. It's going to be postponed. See, my entire life is pretty much a pile of GNORT, the Living Spleen -- and the reprieve I had for a short time seems to have ended. I have my lovely partner, but the rest of things... losing my job, being faced with the revelation that I really am as reprehensible a person as I always thought, the still-raw loss of my baby brother three and a half years ago, has resulted in my ability to write being pretty much admitted to the psych ward for awhile. Sure, I can write some...

Craptastic Week

Edeyn Okay, there is a forum I belong to that has a thread called, "Unfunny Comics," which is essentially to try to laugh at misfortune a bit, but also so others there can commiserate with you.

This week has been especially rough on me (well, from the 4th to today, the 13th). The below were my contributions to the "Unfunny Comics" thread for Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, respectively.

In fact, it's kind of the opposite. I just scrolled down my "My Stories" page and near the bottom is a page that has suddenly over 50 daily hits. That's not bad for something a month old. But this is something 3 years, 4 months, 1 week, and 3 days old. Wow.

Apparently, there's been a recent interest in my poetry today. Thank you, folks!

My Mother Called This Evening With, "Good News"

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Edeyn At least, that’s what she said. I think it is more Pleasant News than Good News, personally, because it does bring up a lot of anguish from within me.

My baby brother died in September of 2007, on his way to school as a Freshman in High School (grade 9 for you non-North Americans). Home was between 100 and 110 meters from school. An old man (80+) was doing over 70mph (112kph) in the school speed zone during the time that most children are walking to school.

The Violet Ajah : Chapter 1

This is a fanfic (short for fanfiction) set in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time setting. The setting and any characters that are not original characters are fully the property of Robert Jordan, his widow (Harriet Rigby), his estate, his posthumous co-author/successor (Brandon Sanderson), and his publishers. At the end of each chapter will be posted a guide to how to pronounce terms and names -- be sure to leave a comment asking to add any term or name that was missed or that you need clarification.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose across the waters of the River Erinin. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time.

But it was -a- beginning...

The Violet Ajah : Teaser

Okay, I have this fanfic mostly written, and will be attempting to put one new bit out every week. This fanfiction is set in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time world setting. The setting and any characters that are not original characters are fully the property of Robert Jordan, his widow (Harriet Rigby), his estate, his posthumous co-author/successor (Brandon Sanderson), and his publishers. At the end of each chapter I will post a guide as to how to pronounce terms and names appearing throughout, along with brief definitions. At the end of the story will be an appendix compiling all of these together.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose across the waters of the River Erinin, speeding across Tar Valon and toward the home of the Aes Sedai, the White Tower rising from the center of the city. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time.

But it was -a-beginning...

A Request

Author: 

Edeyn I just spent over an hour going through Arecee's Show Me The Money! line by line, both in and out of the editor, trying to find what was causing it to be overly wide -- the problem that makes folks have to scroll their window left and right to read it instead of just scrolling down -- which was pointed out by one of the users.

After determining that it wasn't the story itself, I turned to the table Arecee had written/coded for the headers of the story.

Edeyn I have signed up and won every year since 2004, including last year when I severely broke my arm on November 6th! I finished my novel on day 1 last year, so just had to wait for verification to open up. 50,000 words -- depending on how it's formatted, is anywhere from about 115 pages to 200 pages if you stretch it... but it really is much less than what it sounds like, folks! Don't be daunted by the wordcount. One screen of typed text is about 500 words. So, approximately 100 screens. That's really not a lot!
