  <title>The last story before I go</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/18014.html</link>
  <description>With the move on the way, I haven&apos;t been writing a lot, but if anyone&apos;s interested, I finally managed to finish my short story on the theme of &quot;music&quot;. (I&apos;m hoping it can go in the anthology planned by the PSG group for November/December—same kind of deal we worked on in 2013, with all profits going to a charity.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual, if you&apos;d like to read it and leave a few comments, just give me an e-mail address, and I&apos;ll share it on Google Drive. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s somewhat steampunkish, somewhat dark, somewhat funny, somewhat on crack, and somehow, I managed to stick bagpipes in it. OK, seriously, I have no idea what it&apos;s worth. But I had fun writing it. ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=18014&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Et hope, on vide les tiroirs...</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/17764.html</link>
  <description>Pour ceux que ça pourrait intéresser, les trucs que je vends en ce moment: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ebay.fr/usr/kerydwenn&quot;&gt;http://www.ebay.fr/usr/kerydwenn&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(pas mal de bouquins en français, style ma collection de Ténébreuse—je ne les relirai jamais en français).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour ceux que ça n&apos;intéresserait pas, n&apos;hésitez pas à faire tourner le lien quand même, SVP. ^^&amp;nbsp;A ce stade, il faut que je vide mon appartement, et j&apos;avoue que si je peux en tirer un peu de sousous, ça m&apos;aiderait bien à payer mon déménagement... (On va dire que j&apos;en suis même au point de faire une collecte en ligne, c&apos;est dire la lose.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et donc, oui, ça sous-entend, pour ne pas dire que ça l&apos;indique très clairement, que conformément à ce que je racontais dans mon post précédent, en mai (bouh que ça date!), je me tire en Ecosse. Genre, je me &lt;em&gt;tire&lt;/em&gt;. J&apos;ai un appart, des colocs, j&apos;ai signé le bail, tout ça. Voilà. J&apos;ai toujours pas de boulot, mais passons, ce sera de toutes manières plus efficace de chercher sur place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS. Je crois que je dois encore un beta-lecture à &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/profile?user=mimissato&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/profile?user=mimissato&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;mimissato&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Toutes mes excuses. T_T Je suis tellement dans cette histoire de déménagement que le cerveau ne suit plus trop. Si ça peut consoler, ça fait des mois que je n&apos;ai plus touché à mes propres romans non plus, et des semaines que je sèche sur une nouvelle que pourtant je devrais finir avant, heu, le 31 août, pour avoir le temps de la corriger ensuite. Ce n&apos;est donc pas du tri préférentiel de ma part, hein.&lt;br /&gt;(Du coup, est-ce que tu as encore besoin d&apos;une BL? Ou éventuellement d&apos;une BL un peu plus tard, pour un potentiel deuxième tour? Encore désolée, mais te filer une BL de merde, à peine survolée en diagonale avec trois pauv&apos; notes dans la marge juste parce que je n&apos;arrive pas à faire plus, pour moi ce serait plus du foutage de gueule qu&apos;autre chose, en fait...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=17764&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>More dreams of the weird, but intriguing kind</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/14856.html</link>
  <description>A sort of continuation on &lt;a href=&quot;http://kerydwenn.livejournal.com/428743.html&quot;&gt;http://kerydwenn.livejournal.com/428743.html&lt;/a&gt;, only with less zombies and more snow (I must&apos;ve sensed THAT one coming, because the whole town&apos;s indeed covered in snow this morning).&amp;nbsp;The whole things had a rather Silent Hill-esque quality, too: eerie calm, too calm, with deserted streets and snowflakes falling lazily, leaving me with the feeling that something, I would never know what exactly, was about to jump me in when I&apos;d expect it the least;&amp;nbsp;shadows, mostly, much like the shadow children in the first game, but taller. Other human beings turned into shadows by the first Shadow People, maybe? Or the original inhabitants of this alternate city?&amp;nbsp;Also, once again, it&amp;nbsp;took place in Strasbourg, with much of it near the Ill river.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember meeting an older woman—not really old, just &apos;older&apos; than I, as in, in her 50s, and still very much alert—who was also trying to find her way here. She was writing a book about the city, and since this ghastly turn of events, had decided to include all the weird things in it too, taking a lot of pictures. She told me that she had been a widow for a long time, her betrothed having died during World War II (hey, it was a dream, so why not, even though the timefram would never match), and we talked about what our lives had been &apos;before&apos;. There was also a gang of teenage girls with knives, who attacked us near the frozen river, but more out of feeling completely lost than really being evil, and we managed to talk our way out of this predicament and sort of brefriend them, rather than fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up shortly after, so I don&apos;t know what that dream/story could&apos;ve turned into. More than events themselves, it&apos;s the whole surroundings I&apos;m keeping a vivid feeling of: the ashen snow, the eerie quiet... Yes, I definitely sensed the snow coming today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=14856&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>A midwinter&apos;s zombies dream</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/14162.html</link>
  <description>Not sure what&apos;s with me and zombies, perhaps because I&apos;ve been reading a couple of indie stories about those recently, as well as considering buying the Walking Dead comics, and having received &lt;em&gt;Dearly, Departed&lt;/em&gt; in my mailbox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had that dream about being the daughter of a doctor, living in Strasbourg, long after a zombie epidemics breakout had occurred. So zombies weren&apos;t something totally new, the living had found out ways of protecting themselves and all, but of course the undead remained a constantly growing problem, and there were less and less people who managed to remain alive. My &apos;father&apos; and I were trying to reach the Esplanade university campus, where the last researchers still alive were trying to come up with a cure. Alas, at some point, my &apos;father&apos; was unfortunately killed,during a particularly intense and nasty attack&amp;nbsp;in Neudorf,&amp;nbsp;and it was left to me to reach the campus and bring his notes and work to the other researchers. To do so, I had to enlist the help of a tramway driver, and use his train to escape a swarm of zombies that kept on chasing me to eat my brains. I let you imagine what a crazy &lt;strike&gt;car&lt;/strike&gt; tramway chase could look like. I actually found that pretty funny, in all the meanings of the word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad I&apos;m not remembering everything now, because that dream what interesting, and I think would make a decent basis for a fun short story. Well, if you except the part where one tramway out of two was reserved for zombies, and you had to be very careful not to jump into the wrong train, even though it was nicely announced on the electronic panels at each station. XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My second dream that night was another of those nightmares about trying to teach something to a classroom full of asshole teenagers, despite me doing everything disciplinary-wise, and not being &apos;weak&apos; or anything. But those are such recurrent dreams that I&apos;m not bothering writing them down anymore. *shrugs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=14162&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Tentative cover for &quot;Was&quot;</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/14025.html</link>
  <description>I know, I know, those of you who follow me on dA/FB/Tumblr/Twitter hhave seen it already. But hey, I like to brag. Especially after months of barely being able to hold a pencil and do anything remotely &apos;creative&apos;. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a tentative cover for &quot;Was&quot;, or, rather, for its first volume:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://yzabel.deviantart.com/art/WAS-Cover-Project-349209917&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/150/f/2013/019/e/a/was___cover_project_by_yzabel-d5rws3h.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of design, if you feel there&apos;s an imbalance of sorts on the right and bottom sides, it&apos;s normal: I used the pocket book template provided by LuLu in order to place the various elements on the cover, and these sides correspond to bleed areas, that get cut after printing. So I can&apos;t include any important element in those. I don&apos;t know if I&apos;ll go with Lulu in the end, but I know that this design will allow me some leeway if I decide on a slightly different format in the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Was&lt;/em&gt; wasn&apos;t supposed to be a trilogy or whatever, but it&apos;s just so complex that it&apos;s either crapping up a 2000-page monster, or dividing it in something more manageable. Since I&apos;d really like to publish it in ebook format, and perhaps even on LuLu or any other print-on-demand platform, I think it&apos;s best if I consider the practical aspect &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; I finish writing a 1-volume beast, and then find myself going all &quot;oh noes&quot;. For the moment, if you want to read the new (and, hopefully, improved) version, you can either do so on Wattpad: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wattpad.com/11151858-was&quot;&gt;http://www.wattpad.com/11151858-was&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(which is going my teaser-page more than a whole publishing place), or by sending me your e-mail address (for Google Drive, where you&apos;ll get more chapters).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=14025&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>What&apos;s a &quot;mere simple dream&quot;?</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/13773.html</link>
  <description>Here are my latest two:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Following the posting of &lt;a href=&quot;http://assets.inhabitat.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2012/01/USS-Enterprise-Coffee-Table-e1327617866732.jpg&quot;&gt;this picture&lt;/a&gt; on Facebook, I dreamt of that very coffee table, which was in the office of some unnamed general (I only know Rowan Atkinson was cast in the role), in some sci-fi series, sort of a crossing between &lt;i&gt;Babylon 5 &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Battlestar Galactica. &lt;/em&gt;A general who practiced necromancy—don&apos;t ask, and just blame my rewriting of &lt;em&gt;Was&lt;/em&gt; for that. And he had a subordinate, who was also his apprentice in magic, and as he wanted to get rid of another lieutenant on the ship, he kept demanding said subordinate to plant cursed magical items in that man&apos;s room, so that he&apos;d die. Except the lieutenant was Adrian Monk, and so, of course, he always noticed that something was wrong in the room, and managed to get rid of the item in time. In each episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I sense a strong potential for comedy here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Second dream (from the past night): I was with a group of people in a derelict and abandoned factory, which was probably somewhere in the Port du Rhin industrial area of Strasbourg. Can&apos;t tell who exactly was with us, but we were at least 5 people, including &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://rapunzelita.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://rapunzelita.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;rapunzelita&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and also Gwen from &lt;em&gt;Merlin&lt;/em&gt; (yes, I&apos;ve been watching &lt;em&gt;Merlin&lt;/em&gt; recently). And an elder man who acted as our mentor and wanted to protect us. We were there as hostages, taken by a group of at least 10 guys all clad in black and balaclava masks, and were told that if we kept quiet during the whole night, until they were done with whatever they had to do, we would be released in the morning. Incidentally, the one telling us that was their boss, and &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; wasn&apos;t wearing a mask, so I did my best Emmeline Brown impersonation and blurted out something like &quot;you&apos;re lying, you&apos;ll kill us, since we all have seen your face, so why bother keeping quiet?&quot; Many things (often silly ones) happened, along the lines of our group trying to lay traps, pretending we had to go to the toilet (which was flooded and I had to stick my hand in the flooded hole to get some key—seriously, &lt;a href=&quot;http://silenthill.wikia.com/wiki/James_Sunderland&quot;&gt;James Sunderland&lt;/a&gt;, leave my body!), blocking doors with barrels, and other useless tactics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At some point, a woman sneaked in, saying she was from the police and was here to infiltrate the place, and &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://rapunzelita.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://rapunzelita.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;rapunzelita&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;went with her to help while I was trying to keep our captors distracted with telling them stories. Unfortunately, the cop got shot, and we had to figure out how to hide her and keep her alive without the terrorist/burglars/hostage-takers/whatever knowing where she was. The &apos;end&apos; of the dream is already all blurred now—my phone alarm went off, and you can&apos;t avoid waking up with &lt;em&gt;Silent Hill 1&lt;/em&gt;&apos;s opening theme blaring in your ears—and I just remembering there were also telepathic powers triggered, maybe along the lines of &quot;anger and despair freed our inner powers, especially after we realized the woman&apos;s gun was actually an &lt;a href=&quot;http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Evoker&quot;&gt;Evoker&lt;/a&gt;&quot; (I guess using it made *some* kind of sense, then).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;No kidding, if my therapist once asks me to tell him about my dreams, I wish him good luck to figure out what they reveal about me. Except that I probably watch too much TV these days.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=13773&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Livres de fantasy etc. en VF à vendre</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/13543.html</link>
  <description>Je fais un peu de ménage sur mes étagères, et j&apos;ai décidé de me défaire de certains bouquins de fantasy et autres. Non pas qu&apos;ils sont nuls, mais ils sont en VF (principalement du Presse Pocket), et je sais que je ne les relirai jamais dans cette langue. Avant de mettre tout cela sur eBay ou PriceMinister, est-ce qu&apos;il y aurait des intéressés ici? (Je pense faire un tarif du style 2 euros/livre, et sans doute arrondir le chiffre à l&apos;inférieur&amp;nbsp;de toutes façons pour les packs.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je n&apos;ai pas encore fait la liste complète, mais je peux déjà dire qu&apos;il y aura:&lt;br /&gt;* La trilogie des Flèches de la Reine (Mercedes Lackey)&lt;br /&gt;* Plusieurs livres des Chevaliers-Dragons de Pern (Anne McCaffrey)&lt;br /&gt;* Les premiers bouquins des Derynis (Katherine Kurtz)&lt;br /&gt;* Du Anne Rice (ses 4 premiers bouquins de vampires,&amp;nbsp;Le Lien Maléfique, La Momie)&lt;br /&gt;* Quelques romans datant de ma période &quot;vampirique&quot; (Fred Saberhagen, Whitley Strieber, Jeanne Faivre d&apos;Arcier...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bref, si ça en tente certains, n&apos;hésitez pas à me faire déjà signe. Je préfère de loin arranger mes potes que de parfaits inconnus sur eBay. ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Ah oui, une partie de ces livres a été achetée d&apos;occasion, mais ils sont encore en bon état: les pages ne se détachent pas, les couvertures ne sont pas déchirées...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=13543&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>So what, at least I&apos;ve been drawing again... a little</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/12812.html</link>
  <description>And a damn high time it was, because I really don&apos;t like being in a lull art-wise, especially since said lull is likely the product of depression rather than of lack of subjects to draw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, it&apos;s Ewan. Again. No surprise for you guys, I suppose, but quite one for me, because I didn&apos;t think he&apos;d be the one I&apos;d start drawing about. I had started another picture a few days ago, but then I went with the spur of the moment and did the little thing below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, drawing half-naked sexy boyz should be a requirement in therapy, even if they look depressed. No, really, I mean it. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://yzabel.deviantart.com/art/Broken-Pieces-342665960&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/150/f/2012/348/f/a/broken_pieces_by_yzabel-d5o0iqw.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=12812&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Questions aux lecteurs: choses qu&apos;il faut révéler dès le départ... ou pas?</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/11389.html</link>
  <description>Une petite réflexion que je me suis faite ce matin en écrivant — qui ne m&apos;empêchera pas de continuer comme je le fais, vu que moi, personnellement, ça ne me dérange pas, mais... du coup, je suis curieuse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J&apos;explique. Ca va être un peu long,&amp;nbsp; mais tant pis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il y a quelques temps, je lisais des critiques d&apos;un bouquin sur Goodreads. Je ne saurais plus dire maintenant de quel livre il s&apos;agissait, un truc de YA un peu générique avec des anges et des démons. Une personne avait mis une sale note au bouquin avec comme commentaire quelque chose du genre &quot;en le lisant, j&apos;ai découvert que ce livre mettait en scènes des démons, ceci est inadmissible&quot;, etc etc (j&apos;en ai déduit qu&apos;on avait affaire là à une personne très croyante, qui ne veut pas lire de trucs où les démons sont présentés sous un jour, je ne dirais pas appréciable, mais en tous cas pas purement bibliquement &quot;les démons, c&apos;est le mal.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pourquoi je parle de ça, vous allez voir dans une minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/11389.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Suite ici parce que, quand je dis que c&apos;est long, c&apos;est long&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=11389&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Question about Wattpad</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/11135.html</link>
  <description>Two things here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Any writer (or aspiring writer) in my F-list who&apos;s ever put their novel, excerpts from their novel, and/or short stories on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wattpad.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.wattpad.com/&lt;/a&gt;? Or know anyone who did it? Did it go well? Bring in readers, pieces of advice? Did it cause problems (copyright, etc.) in the end?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m asking because an indie author I sometimes chat with has told me about this site, knowing about my big WIP (I mean &lt;em&gt;Was&lt;/em&gt;). Right now, I probably wouldn&apos;t post anything on Wattpad, if only because I haven&apos;t decided yet if &lt;em&gt;Was&lt;/em&gt; would be a huge 1-volume novel or one made of 2 or 3 shorter volumes, and I have my doubts about both methods. I created an account all the same, just to book a place for myself there, so to say. For now, I&apos;m just wondering about the potential benefits or drawbacks of such a website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t intend to submit &lt;em&gt;Was&lt;/em&gt; through the traditional publishing system. It&apos;s just too weird and experimental, and I don&apos;t know myself where I&apos;m going with it. My original plan was anyway to offer at least the first chapters for free, on my website, so if they&apos;re online on another platform, it doesn&apos;t matter that much. Unless that other platform is known to pull a Facebook and screw with their TOS and with whose contents belongs to whom, that is... Hence my question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Speaking of &lt;em&gt;Was&lt;/em&gt;, I rewrote the first chapter, and am currently reorganizing some of the other chapters. Though&amp;nbsp;I won&apos;t post those online, not after I had already posted 25 or so of them on my writing LJ, if anyone&apos;s interested in reading the new version, I&apos;m willing to put it on Google Drive (I&apos;ll just need your e-mail address in a PM to send you the link). A lot of those changes are minor ones, but I think that if you put them all together, they create enough of a shift in the story itself (and in its parts yet to be written) to be important in the end. Besides, those of you who read it in 2009, as I was posting during NaNoWriMo, probably don&apos;t remember all the details anyway, right? ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=11135&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Homebrew bingo</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/10049.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;So, well, I signed up for that challenge on &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/profile?user=homebrewbingo&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/profile?user=homebrewbingo&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;homebrewbingo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and requested a bingo card. It&apos;ll probably take ages to complete, at least if it goes just like the 100 Themes Challenge, but since I&apos;ll do it through writing mainly, and not drawing (or so I think), who knows, maybe it&apos;ll make me write *short* fics for a change. Besides, I get to toy with pr0n prompts! And prompts are great for when I want to write but have no specific ideas! Yay!&amp;nbsp;^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Expect quite an amount of &lt;em&gt;Was&lt;/em&gt; characters in the lot, because with the prompts I got, I &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to do something at least with Marek, Ewan and Adrian (I don&apos;t mean with the three of them necessarily together, haha).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/10049.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Bingo card w/ prompts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=10049&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Birthday gifts! Yay!</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/9904.html</link>
  <description>Wonderful birthday gifts from the lovely ANIMAfelis on dA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first one stemmed from a private joke, complete with mock conversation, about the concept of &quot;Strip-Tetris&quot; (yeah, no kidding), and features Ewan &amp;amp; Nick (the artist&apos;s own &quot;Mage&quot; character).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second one features my Hermetist character, Irena Angendijk Van den Haag, and was commissioned by my good friends in Strasbourg. (Since I was also given thee high-res file, I&apos;ll definitely get this one printed as a poster to hang in my living-room!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two days after these pictures were unveiled, I am still in awe, and drooling everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://animafelis.deviantart.com/art/TETRIS-320755045&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/150/i/2012/225/a/a/tetris_by_animafelis-d5ayw6d.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://animafelis.deviantart.com/art/The-Velvet-Room-320765224&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/150/i/2012/225/5/b/the_velvet_room_by_animafelis-d5az414.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=9904&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>50 Books Challenge - July 2012</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/9531.html</link>
  <description>This is probably the last 50BC entry of the year—because I&apos;ve reached that goal. =) But I&apos;ll go on adding which books I read, I think. (For now, I&apos;m going with Goodreads &quot;2012 challenge&quot;, which I upped to 100 books in 2012. Just by reading in August, I should get close to completion. XD)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here are the books I read in July (both for fun and for the Agrégation):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ally Condie - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7735333-matched&quot;&gt;Matched&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bernard C. Lamb - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8009426-the-queen-s-english&quot;&gt;The Queen&apos;s English &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Andrew D. Mellusco - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11269513-blackstone-brenwen&quot;&gt;Blackstone &amp;amp; Brenwen: The Mirror and the Meretrix &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;H.D. Gordon - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14759015-joe&quot;&gt;Joe &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Brandon Hale - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13576541-day-soldiers&quot;&gt;Day Soldiers &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;David Estes - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12974693-angel-evolution&quot;&gt;Angel Evolution &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Charles Dickens - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2928997-a-tale-of-two-cities&quot;&gt;A Tale of Two Cities &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;David Estes - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13931214-the-moon-dwellers&quot;&gt;The Moon Dwellers &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stephen&apos;s Community House - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15715582-it-s-not-all-black-and-white&quot;&gt;It&apos;s Not All Black And White &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Suzanne Collins - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7723926-the-hunger-games&quot;&gt;The Hunger Games &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Suzanne Collins - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8423493-catching-fire&quot;&gt;Catching Fire &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Suzanne Collins - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8684868-mockingjay&quot;&gt;Mockingjay&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kimberly Derting - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11511961-the-pledge&quot;&gt;The Pledge &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Marissa Meyer - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12973964-cinder&quot;&gt;Cinder&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;William Shakespeare - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/286739.Measure_for_Measure_Arden_Shakespeare_Arden_Shakespeare_Second&quot;&gt;Measure For Measure &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jillian Eaton - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13514253-after-ever&quot;&gt;After Ever &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Veronica Roth - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10684183-divergent&quot;&gt;Divergent&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Elizabeth Norris - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13425392-unraveling&quot;&gt;Unraveling&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;R. J. Scott - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9615767-the-christmas-throwaway&quot;&gt;The Christmas Throwaway &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;L.H. Cosway - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13506510-a-strange-fire&quot;&gt;A Strange Fire &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Barry James - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13483553-dreams-of-darkness&quot;&gt;Dreams Of Darkness &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wilfrid Rotgé - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15776217-agr-gation-externe-d-anglais---mode-d-emploi&quot;&gt;Agrégation Externe d&apos;anglais, Mode d&apos;emploi&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total: 64/50&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Granted, a lot of those were pretty easy YA reads—the kind of thing I go through very fast—and I haven&apos;t drawn at all, nor written a lot this summer, which accounts for all my &quot;free&quot; time for reading. Expect such a list to get drastically reduced by September. ^_^;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=9531&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>50 Books Challenge - June 2012</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/8244.html</link>
  <description>No school holidays, and a frigging set of oral exams for the Agrégation this month. On the other hand, those were over after June 20, I had time to read while travelling by train or during the DNB exams (because I was put to watching over the corridor =&amp;gt; nothing happening), and when I was sick at home. Not to mention that YA novels &amp;amp; novellas are stories I also read very fast (much more than grammar books XD).&amp;nbsp;So it all evened out in the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sophie Davis - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13466202-talented&quot;&gt;Talented&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jessica Fortunato - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13424821-the-sin-collector&quot;&gt;The Sin Collector &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ann Haines - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15721357-mary&quot;&gt;Mary&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jonathan Freedland - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2639142-bring-home-the-revolution&quot;&gt;Bring Home the Revolution &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Margaret Chatwin - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13423809-101&quot;&gt;101&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;R.J. Scott&amp;nbsp;- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12264645-guarding-morgan&quot;&gt;Guarding Morgan &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;M.T. Acquaire - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13510075-marty-boggs-the-curse-of-the-mummy-s-tomb&quot;&gt;Marty Boggs &amp;amp; the Curse of the Mummy&apos;s Tomb &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kendare Blake - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9378297-anna-dressed-in-blood&quot;&gt;Anna Dressed In Blood&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Umberto Eco - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10520639-le-cimeti-re-de-prague&quot;&gt;Le Cimetière de Prague &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Caron Rider - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13489872-silver-knight&quot;&gt;Silver Knight &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dante Caligari - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14624293-damnation&quot;&gt;Damnation&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;And as a bonus for the exams (given how long those books are, I certainly deserve to add them to my list!):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jean-Rémi Lapaire &amp;amp; Wilfrid Rotgé - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15700797-linguistique-et-grammaire-de-l-anglais&quot;&gt;Linguistique et grammaire de l&apos;anglais &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sidney Greenbaum &amp;amp; Randolph Quirk - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/89928.A_Students_Grammar_of_the_English_Language&quot;&gt;A Student&apos;s Grammar of the English Language &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total: 43/50&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=8244&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Such a nice gift =D</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/7723.html</link>
  <description>After spending a whole day working on English grammar, there&apos;s nothing more pleasant than finding a nice surprise like this one... And once again by &lt;a href=&quot;http://animafelis.deviantart.com/&quot;&gt;my lovely friend on dA&lt;/a&gt;. :D (It makes me feel even more to be done with those Agrégation oral exams, so that I can finally go back to drawing—more specifically, on the pictures I still owe to a few people.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is Sarah Valentine from &lt;i&gt;Shadow Nexus&lt;/i&gt; (normal world version), weaving her magic in her Bedlam cell.&lt;br /&gt;So. Frigging. Fitting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://animafelis.deviantart.com/art/Cat-s-Cradle-305182803&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/150/f/2012/150/7/e/cat__s_cradle_by_animafelis-d51p4k3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=7723&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>50 Books Challenge - May 2012</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/7510.html</link>
  <description>In between school holidays, Ascension Day (long week end off) and Whit Monday (day off as well), and various personal downtime, I managed to cram a few more books in this. &apos;Course in hindsight I tell myself &quot;I should&apos;ve worked for the Agregation more!&quot;, but I was just really tired all the time, so reading was the most I managed to do anyway. I didn&apos;t even draw. :(&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;J.K. Rowling - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/321969980&quot;&gt;The Tales of Beetle the Bard&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cécile Duquenne - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/311204966&quot;&gt;Quadruple Assassinat dans la rue de la Morgue&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jim Butcher - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/323248027&quot;&gt;Grave Peril&lt;/a&gt; (Dresden Files #3) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Patricia Lunneborg - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/324944784&quot;&gt;Abortion: A Positive Decision&lt;/a&gt; (had that one on my shelf for ages, really) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dylan Thomas - Selected Poems (those take time to read - beautiful, but not easy) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Samantha Bailly - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/326736390&quot;&gt;La Chute des Etoiles&lt;/a&gt; (the first volume too, but it was a second reading, so I&apos;m not counting it here) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Brian Sykes - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/328013436&quot;&gt;Adam&apos;s Curse: A Future Without Men&lt;/a&gt; (also one that had been on my TBR list for ages) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lauren Oliver - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/328692217&quot;&gt;Delirium&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Penelope King - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/331040116&quot;&gt;A Demon Made Me Do It&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/334361049&quot;&gt;Fire With Fire&lt;/a&gt; (ARRs) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Scott Westerfeld - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/332650239&quot;&gt;Uglies&lt;/a&gt; (so bad I couldn&apos;t finish it, actually) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Brigit Hache - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/316255827&quot;&gt;Ecrire et trouver ses lecteurs&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Philip Roth - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/312761655&quot;&gt;The Plot Against America&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nick Gevers et al. - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/317916204&quot;&gt;Extraordinary Engines&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Benjamin Lacombe - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/334618016&quot;&gt;Les Contes Macabres&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tony Bertauski - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/334361435&quot;&gt;The Annihilation of Foreverland&lt;/a&gt; (ARR) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nathalie Hug - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/336950018&quot;&gt;L&apos;Enfant-rien&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Paul Auster - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/332738708&quot;&gt;Oracle Night&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total: 30/50&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Been reading a couple of other books, but I&apos;ll add them to the June list. For now, I also need to read for my upcoming oral exams...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=7510&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Kindle Touch</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/6383.html</link>
  <description>Not something I&apos;ll buy today, I don&apos;t have enough money, but this doesn&apos;t mean I shouldn&apos;t try and *save* for one, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been considering getting an eReader of some kind. There are plenty of books I own in PDF format and such, but that I never read, because I don&apos;t like sitting in front of a computer to do so. &quot;Reading&quot;, for me, is something you do on the sofa; or on the balcony; or sitting on the grass next to the river/in apark; etc. Not in my living-room, staring at&amp;nbsp;my netbook&apos;s screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t really know what&apos;s the best of the best, nor could I afford top-notch products anyway. I&apos;ve been looking at the Kindles on Amazon, and I think the Kindle Touch may be interesting. Has any of you tried it? Is it worth buying, in terms of price vs. features? (I don&apos;t care that much for the 3G version, the networks in my area are crappy anyway, and the basic Wifi connection would probably be sufficient, regarding my needs.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=6383&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Interview about WAS</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/5713.html</link>
  <description>The group &lt;a href=&quot;http://daocc.deviantart.com/&quot;&gt;DAOCC&lt;/a&gt; has been publishing a series of interviews regarding OCs/original stories, and I&apos;m this week&apos;s interviewee with &lt;em&gt;Was&lt;/em&gt;. (Because I don&apos;t post the most recent chapters on my writing LJ doesn&apos;t mean I&apos;ve stopped working on this story, on the contrary and far from it.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who might be interested, you can read it &lt;a href=&quot;http://daocc.deviantart.com/journal/Interview-Yzabel-301420269&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=5713&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>Puisque je fais l&apos;effort en ce moment d&apos;écrire un commentaire sur Goodreads au sujet des bouquins que je lis, et que d&apos;un autre côté, je n&apos;ai pas grand chose à écrire sur mon LJ, j&apos;en posterai à l&apos;occasion quelques unes, du moins celles qui ne spoilent rien ou pas grand chose. (A moins que mes lecteurs-fans en délire ne me réclament toutes mes reviews, mais bon, voilà, n&apos;abusons pas.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/5495.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Quadruple assassinat dans la Rue de la Morgue&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=5495&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>50 Books Challenge - April 2012</title>
  <link>https://kerydwenn.dreamwidth.org/4887.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Since I decided last month that it was time to commit once again to more serious reading, here&apos;s the list of what I read in April—I doubt I&apos;ll finish anything else by tonight, anyway. I was helped in that by the Easter week-end, one week of holidays, and the fact that I was too down for half the month (the teeth crap) to do much, except reading. But really, not turning on the computer first thing in the morning and reading instead also helped. ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michel Stanesco - &lt;em&gt;Les plus belles légendes du Moyen-Âge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Actually started late February, but I read 3/4 of it in April.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hunter S. Thompson - &lt;em&gt;Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Watched the movie ages ago, never read the book before.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stephenie Meyer - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/308064492&quot;&gt;Twilight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I did say I was down, right? Yuck.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Howard Mittelmark - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/285952943&quot;&gt;How Not To Write A Novel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marek Halter - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/305741330&quot;&gt;Les révoltés de la Shoah&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Betty Friedan - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/309813346&quot;&gt;The Feminine Mystique&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tony Kushner - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16756635&quot;&gt;Angels in America&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;(I think I should watch the movie someday.) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Etienne Barillier - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/315705016&quot;&gt;Steampunk!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sarah Pickard - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/306954921&quot;&gt;Civilisation Britannique&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Asa Briggs - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/310367969&quot;&gt;Secret Days: Code-breaking In Bletchley Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jim Butcher - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/317962278&quot;&gt;Storm Front&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jim Butcher - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/319685933&quot;&gt;Fool Moon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total: 12/50&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=4887&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Pottermore</title>

  <description>Alright, I admit that except preparing my tests for Friday, and taking care of some chores in the flat, most of my day has been spent on Pottermore. XD I hadn&apos;t planned on subscribing at first, but then I saw it mentioned on my TwitterList, and registered yesterday, and now I&apos;m having fun with potions and the likes. (The WTF part, though, is that about nicknames. If someone you know wants to be your friend, s/he must tell you through otherchannels, because &quot;SpiritGalleon6093&quot; just doesn&apos;t make any sense to me.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I&apos;m EchoSickle457, if anyone&apos;s interested in adding me. Just, er, tell me it&apos;s you. ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I was sorted into Slytherin. Go fig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=4804&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Some drawing (and some post, too)</title>

  <description>Stuff that, as usual, was sitting half-completed on my hard drive. So I just slapped some vague shading and a texture, and there. At least now I can say I &quot;drew&quot; something in March. ;)&lt;br /&gt;(No, really, I wanted to draw and post something... only with the Agrégation in 9 days, I&apos;m too restless to sit down and work on something better&amp;nbsp;for hours in a row. I preferred to &apos;finish&apos; a very basic picture, though, rather than not touch my Intuos for a full month!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I won&apos;t even comment on these two anymore. I&apos;m so predictable in my themes these days. XD (But, hey, they ARE cute together!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://yzabel.deviantart.com/art/Hold-My-Hand-290840965&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/150/f/2012/077/b/6/hold_my_hand_by_yzabel-d4t5qbp.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=1866&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>I should really get back to work, instead of reading silly V:tM tales about silly players, but really, this is just funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/michelle&quot;&gt;The Michelle Chronicles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kerydwenn&amp;ditemid=1728&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
