Issue #3'd ended on Birdie realizing that her friend Wilson was also in danger from the VR game Nightmare Cemetery.

Her brother Pik was in a coma, mentally taken into the game by the " King of Sleep ". The King'd shoved one of his claws through her friend Enid's left eye while she was helping look for Pik.

Wilson had also been helping her - they'd both taken sleeping pills to get around the hard time-limit on their Dreamwaves, expecting to be able to wake each other up.

But she wasn't able to wake him. She was grounded by her worried and frustrated dad, able only to watch videos about other victims of Nightmare Cemetery.

She found someone else who'd lost a sibling. )

Let’s see if this works right – I’ve been avoiding posting links here because I don’t know if I have the formatting right – there was something special to do to a link back in the LJ days, but some of those formats changed here.
Check out www.magnetsandladders.org for my story, “Zeke Weatherly, All of Them” in their current Fall and Winter 2005 issue. This is in a series I’m writing about the traditional elements (earth, air, fire, and water along with some additional ones like electricity, cold, light, darkness, and so on) and they’ve published three of them so far (they’ve also passed on two of them).

I’ve got my new bed set up, thanks to me paying extra money to get a professional installer familiar with Wayfair’s products to put it together. Now I have that rarest of things, empty shelves. Here’s the one I went with, though in brown instead of the weathered gray:

I’ll get things put back less fast this time, because it took me about four days to stop hurting because I way overextended myself

After today’s editing session (and 1.5 hours of searching in vain for a 16" replacement seat for a café chair in speckled green cloth and a couple of other things) we’re eighteen pages from the end of Love is a Battlefield. That’s a complex eighteen pages with a wide array of emotions in it. I’ll be curious about what [personal profile] lanalucy picks next – there are several good options.

And here we are at the end of the harvest season. I hope all of y’all got a lot out of the harvest this time around.

It's been almost a decade since this was last posted so for Halloween here is one of Junji Ito's most famous horror stories.

Something spooky for Halloween as Chamber has a face off (heh) with old school Marvel Dracula.

Spooky story is by Joseph Harris with spookier art by Tomm Coker.



12 and a chunk pages out of 40.

Last time out, we showcased Fire and Ice Green Flame and Ice Maiden as two heroines who spend a night living beyond their means and a morning struggling to make ends meet. In this, they have more in common with an extragalactic starship and its crew than they could imagine.

Nobody ever talks about the COST of maintaining moon-sized ships, but if the Galactic Empire had managed its spending better, its Death Stars might not have so many corridors full of bottomless pits to fall into. )

Issue #2'd ended on physical trauma - Enid, one of three going deeper into the VR game Nightmare Cemetery, getting stabbed in the eye.

It was an in-game injury, inflicted by the same thing that'd taken her friend Birdie's brother Pik. He was comatose in the real world - she, waking into it, was bleeding.

Birdie and their friend Wilson saw her the next day.

As this JLI retrospective has chugged along, I've done my best to provide some context. But this time, the context is so involved, I figured I should make a separate post that's all context.

For its first four issues, the Justice League/Justice League International series was at a Bechdel 1. Then female villains stopped appearing and Doctor Light stormed out, putting it at a Bechdel 0...until #12, when two new characters rocketed it to Bechdel 3--where it would remain, more often than not, for as long as they were part of the series.

Also from 2 nations represented up to 4. )

When Snoopy Dances He's Looking Up

Pardon me for a quiet moment while I go over in the corner and Snoopy Dance…

I’ve been meaning to get on the phone with Kurzweil OCR and Freedom Scientific to get my Kurzweil 1000 (OCR and Scanning program for blind and VI folks) and JAWS upgraded. After voting today, which was all amendments, and grabbing to-go lunch from my local Kellers I made those calls. I’m a few bucks over $250 less funded (I wrote “poorer” at first but I don’t want that thinking in my life) but upgrades have been made, and how’s that for a passive voice sentence there, but I can OCR things without having to fire up an XP computer and… drumroll please, I can go back to using a search engine that doesn’t track my activity. This may mean that the problems I was having here with the browser closing are a thing of the past – I’m up for exploring that .

I heard back from my contact at the transplant clinic, and she’s talking with an infusion company that does their work in the home – it has come to this?

The bed arrives tomorrow, and the person who’ll put it together will show up soon afterward. It’s going to be a busy day.

I’m still sore from Sunday when I cleared out everything under and around my bed; I’ll think twice before doing something like that.
