LadyAce wrote her Bachelor's senior project on the differences between the original Cinderella and the Disney version, part of which highlighted the commercialization effect Disney inserted into the whole Disney Princess thing.Oh goody.
Another shining example of how girls should sit around waiting for their prince to come.

My father informs me that the only reason babies look so cute is so you don't murder them before they're five. Apparently ages 5 -10 are golden, and then the teenage years are hell.
I have pictures though that imply he quite enjoyed the before five years, and the way he goes goo-goo over babies also implies that this is a lie.
Oh goody.

Also--I've written more words of non-fiction than fiction in the last week and a half.
Can I still hang out here?
Tour de france, why must you start at 10pm and go on past midnight. ->- > ->
Night all
Is there some rule that says that you can't be hot, a guy, and half naked and smiling? Is smiling somehow supposed to ruin the sexiness?

*tackles Ace* Of course you can still be here. You're not here enough as is.

Darn sneaky POV.
Haha. I have been having this same problem lately. I'm trying something in third for the first time and when I get going I slip back into first. Editing will be fun.
Do you think your story will work better as a first person?
Ohhhh. Yeah. That.
Sometimes one POV or another is necessary for the story you want to tell. I discovered this after finishing a 95K novel. You can't find/replace "she/he" in a story with more than two characters, it turns out.
There's an international bike race is Poland after the tour de France? I wonder if highlights will be online...
Somehow I got tagged on a Twitter conversation where I disagree with everything the people are saying. Really quite painful. Particularly as they make assumptions about YA authors, their deals, etc. It made me feel icky, so I came to the Cantina for to refresh.

My take on the trend (and art history peeps can sit staring at this thought, shaking their head and crying all they want) is that we can lay the blame squarely on Brando and James Dean.
Oh, and a certain someone (who shall remain nameless) does not know what filk is.
Honestly, I wanted to poke him in the stomach to make him smile.
Somebody get the butterfly net, don't let Ace leave!
Nothing wrong with Filk as long as you nuke it from orbit just to be safe...
I only know what filk is because I read it on TVTropes.
I found out what filk was during Camp Nano when I asked one of my "cabin mates". I had no idea before then.
