8. What community do you wish was more active?
I'm in a lot of not-very-active communities, but of all of them, fantasy would be good. It's about fantasy! But nobody posts!

Writing meme #2

What piece of writing are you most proud of?
That's like choosing among your children! OK, I honestly don't know. I mean, I'm excited about a lot of things, and I guess I could be proud of my consistency in updating Chatoyant College, but I'm not sure I'm so proud of the writing there. I guess I would have to go with "How I Met My Zombie Boyfriend," which is probably the best story I wrote in college and one of the few short stories I'm at all happy with. I haven't managed to get it published anywhere, though. I'm not really sure how to send it. What do you do with a zombie story that isn't horror or really humor?

When she was five, they went to the natural history museum. The minute the walked in she asked her mom, “when did I go here before?” Her mom said they’d never been, but she was able to guide them unerringly to her favorite dinosaur skeleton, the stegosaurus, and from there to the gift shop. Her dad, bemused, bought her a stegosaurus mug.( Read more... )
