lagilmanWhile I've been working, we had a lot of new people pull up a chair.
Be welcome!
*waving madly*
I promise I'll be more entertaining once I put a few of these projects to bed. In the meantime, feel free to introduce yourselves!

Date: 2005-03-03 11:41 pm (UTC)And she wanted a pony. But many other things were going on, and none of the retainers were able to take care of her pony wanting needs.
Slowly, over the course of three to four hours, I built up to a full-fledged tempertantrum. By the end of it, I was litterally running to people who were doing things and insisting that by what they were doing, they ought to get me a pony...
... to the man going shopping... "Buy me a pony!!!!"
... to the man fixing a bookshelf (which I had destroyed in a fit of pique earlier) "BUILD ME A PONY!!!!"
... and finally, to my dear old housekeeper, who was trying to soothe her feet in front of the fire and happened to have her yarn and needles "KNIT ME A PONY!!" while jumping up and down.
I stopped the whole game dead, apparently, and made a few people break character. Total scenery chewing moment. And hence, the nickname was born. I registered the domain and the handle everywhere I could think of.

And, y'know, not necessarily just that. But I saw that you two had made acquaintance and had to comment.

Date: 2005-03-03 09:25 pm (UTC)I'm Denise, 24, library clerk, fan of book & stories. And now I feel like I'm being creepy. You're one of two authors I friended after reading something instead of "knowing" the person and then reading their work.
At first I thought it was very weird to read about what authors I know of are doing, but now I really like it. I don't get anxious for a new release when I can see some of what's going on.
So, um, hi!

Date: 2005-03-03 10:53 pm (UTC)And nope, not creepy at all. So, did you find me via the website, or...?

"I think Batgirl is why I originally wanted to be a librarian. I may have been too young and stupid to realize that I wouldn't get the chance to wear a shiny purple costume and get it on with cute acrobatic boys."
Okay, I'm befriending you as well, I like the way you talk. ^_^

Always on the lookout for more to think about.. y'know, keeps me awake between editing chapters on "coding for error checking in development" and the question of "crap, how do I fill this plothole?" ;D

Date: 2005-03-03 11:49 pm (UTC)Actually, were your ears burning yesterday? I had lunch with a former associate of yours and we said bad things about you for at least 20 minutes. ;^)
Lunch or drinks anytime...when are you next planning to come into town? Hmm, let me rephrase that: when would you most like to be lured into town for a meal, solid or liquid?

Date: 2005-03-04 05:29 am (UTC)I sat in on one of your panels at Boskone and found you to be interesting and your description of your new series to be fascinating as well, so I made a mental note to google you later. I did, found your sff.net site, browsed through the list of your works, and bookmarked for later reading.
Then, the other day, I was talking to my friend over IM and he was bragging about how he met Chuck Palahniuk (http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net/). I get annoyed by people who brag about stuff, so I mentioned that I had met one of the Buffy authors at the con he wouldn't come to me with. He asked which one, and I'm bad with remembering proper nouns, so I said Laura something and loaded up the site to check. That's when I saw the link to your lj and ta-da.
I only set up my lj a little over a month ago to use for posting early drafts for my friends to read and give me feedback on, but I can't seem to force myself to sit down and actually type out one of my stories. If I end up in Hell, I suppose they'll have me transcribing something while wearing an itchy sweater and listening to pop music.
