You know what's fun? Waking up with a headache that usually only comes with lack of sleep. There are so many things wrong with that.

Less Than Three Press announces its first anthology: That Famous Happy End.

Nothing is sweeter than following a story and its characters through all the ups and downs, the trials, the pains, and seeing them finally reach that moment, that day, that place they worked so hard to gain. Be it by way of murder, magic, misunderstanding, mischief, or mayhem, we like to see them suffer. We want the struggle, the grief, the fight. We want to see them angry, confused, hurt, battered, and on the verge of giving up.

But most of all we want to see all that toil and strife worth something. We want to see them get what they earned.

So put your characters through the wringer, make them suffer and work for it, and then give us that famous happy end.

Submission details for this anthology can be found here.
Further information regarding general submission and content guidelines may be found here and here.

Less Than Three Press will be accepting submissions through January 1, 2010.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this anthology or general submissions or compensation, please contact editor@lessthanthreepress.com.

And to all kick-ass Marines everywhere.

In honor of that, a convo via text I had with my father today :3

Me: Changed my mind about Christmas. I was a special Aston Martin that goes for $1.4 mil. It's shiny
Dad: Yeah, and I want the new G-V jet with teak wood flight deck
Me: That sounds fun
Dad: Only 35 mil
Me: Chump change
Dad: Then please allow me to add a braburn yacht for 6.2 mil
Me: Go for it. But I'm borrowing it.
Dad: Cool. I will let the pool boy go with you
Me: You're such a good father :D He'd better not be a sixty year old pool boy
Dad: 18 with a speedo and a twin brother that does hair. Quit drooling it ill becomes you
Me: *dies of laughter* Does your jet come with girls to do maintenance? ;3
Dad: I always have women to turn my wrench and blow my super charger
Me: Stop making me snort coffee

And then it gets away from me because keep fucking talking and won't let me think.

One of my roomies made a crack about two serial killers meeting on the road - like, one picking the other up, and I thought they were talking about an actual story cause I've read it (or maybe watched it, I can never fucking remember all the mediums of the different stories I recall, how sad is that?).

There's obviously more than one out there, it's a premise I'm sure has been done plenty, but the one I'm thinking of, one of the killers definitely had a guitar case and I would swear she was a chick, but I just don't recall for certain.

It's going to drive me crazy now -__-

Ugh. It takes me way too fucking long to transcribe. I'm just not good at it. I don't have the patience and I'm constantly reading/changing everything as I go.

Ah, well.

There is a sad lack of biscuits in my life. I think I shall make some, and then go back to writing by hand.

At least the stupd transcribing is done for now.

Argh. There is nothing more irritating than trying to type with cold-stiff hands.

Though, there's slightly more than my cat here ^_~

( my cat, two other cats, flowers, and me! )

Some of these you may have seen before, so I apologize if it's just a lot of repeat. I honestly do not remember what I've put up here.

( this will probably be a freebie )

( start of next novella )

( midsummer story one )

( midsummer story two )

When I go home for Christmas, I'm doing a marathon of SPN seaons 4 & 5, cause I'm totally sadface I don't really have time to watch it and am sooo out of the fandom. Plus that will be an awesome fun thing to do while I'm home ^__^

*work was actually bearable today, though I am utterly sick of the fact my coworker cannot discuss anything other than pregnancy, children, children playing sports, sports, television. It is so painfully obvious my life is black to their white -__-

*King's new book comes out soon ^____^

*I really need more time to write. I have to fix pretty much all of my Wick stories, I've got to finish another novella for the serial stuff, and I've got three short stories IP, not to mention all the other shit I should be doing. I so cannot wait 'til we can afford to hire other writers.

*Though, speaking of that, Sammie and Sasha need to write more too, cause there stuff is all shiny ^__^ I've read the sequel to the story Sasha has running on LT3 now :D and I know a bit about the third, and I know what she's working on now hahahaha but she's in the living room slacking off :3

*It needs to be the weekend, alas, I have one more day of work to get through

*In a couple of weeks, I get to go fetch my littlest sister from school and she is going to hang out with me for a week \o/

*And in a couple of months, I get to go home to hang with my family ^___^

*Hope all nano'ers are going strong ^ __^ Keep it up!!!

*Would anyone want snippets of the stuff I'm working on? I don't recall which things I've posted and which I have not, but if peeps want, I'll post. People are much quieter now that stories are not regularly here, and that makes me sadface, cause I liked chatting and harassing peeps, but I suppose that is the way it goes ^_^ Still, if snippets are wanted, I'll post'em.

*Guess I should stop with the slacking myself now.

*oh, yeah. we had tasty chinese for dinner, and I bought some tasty woodchuck cider that is apparently limited release or something shiny.

*Okay, going now.
