On Being Published

[mousapelli]

At lunch with my parents, my mother was teasing my father about his NaNo novel, and finally we were like, "look, what have YOU written lately?"

And she was like "I'm published!" And I didn't know this, but evidently when I was very small, my mother got paid for a few articles she submitted locally. Including $50 for an article about how my father was raising me during the day while she was at work.

It was entitled, "My Daddy is My Mommy," at which point I laughed so hard at my father's utter humiliation that i snorted a piece of shrimp up my nose.

THESE ARE MY GENETICS.

Speaking of that, pirates or ninjas, woman? You're clearly getting a valentine.

You must be proud to be related to such fine folks. Giggling uncontrollably, and proud. *g*

Hi, sorry to be a bother but I was wondering if there was anyway I could access you story: Subjective Intrinsic Value?

It was recced here (http://community.livejournal.com/rec50/461792.html?mode=reply) and I'd really like to read it but I get pretty much access denied on the memories and I couldn't see it on your website (though I might be blind, lol). But anyways, it sounds really interesting and I'd love to read it if possible?

No worries. The reason that's locked is because I'm editing it to turn it into an actual, publishable story. I had parts of it up when I was writing it for NaNoWriMo 2004, which is why some people know about it.

It's interesting though that it got recced on a fanfiction comm, since it's original fiction.

Oh, the person was signed up to do like 20 original fiction recs or something. Also I think the community more about the recs then the fandom.

You came this close to making my diet coke come out my nose with that story.
