escritoireazul: (imagine me & you romancing)
After talking to my sister, K, I really want to write about the way authors interact with their readers online; the way fans who become authors a) deal with fans and b) still act like fans first and authors second; the way author-fan expectation can change fan expectation; and how that can effect the way a new form of the source material is received.

(This is inspired by The Dresden Files, the show, and the way it hasn't been renewed, compared to Stardust.)

Unfortunately, I'm just taking a packing break to eat a bagel and then I'm back to it, so this will have to wait. I just wanted to put it here so I can remember to talk about, I hope.

(I've just switched my background show to a Scooby Doo movie, but I was watching a Cheetah Girls movie because they were singing and dancing their way through Barcelona and I was enjoying seeing all the places I visited once and would like to visit again. I can't tell you how many Disney tv movies I've watched just to see parts of Hawaii. Yeah.)

So far today I have drank:

+ 16 ounces of water
+ 16 ounces of mate vana and peppermint tea (hot)
+ 16 ounces of caribbean breeze tea (iced)
+ 22 ounces of plain tea (iced) (Half of a 44 ounce I'm still drinking)
+ 12 ounces of diet Dr. Pepper

It's a thirsty day. Hungry day, too, I'm absolutely starving for protein.

Speaking of tea, have all you fans heard of Teavana? Back in November, when J., A., and I went holiday shopping, we discovered one of the stores in St. Louis, and fell in love with their flavors. Then, for Christmas, the boss bought the office their huge tea set, and I've fallen even more in love. All the teas I've drank today, except for the plain tea, is Teavana, and they are all delicious. I think some of you would really, really like it.

The mate vana and peppermint mix is one of my favorites, but I'm also fond of their azteca fire, which is a little like Mexican hot chocolate.

According to [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda in this post, there is some big thing where Peter S. Beagle is not getting paid for The Last Unicorn, or something. Really, go read her post, it's full of interesting links and that information. Anyway, my point is that she linked to Conlan Press which has permission from Lionsgate to sell the 25th anniversary edition of the movie and more than half of each sale goes directly to Beagle. I find that pretty cool, and I know some of you are probably interested in the new edition, so I thought I'd link.

Plus, if you purchase the version for $24.98, you get it signed in three places, which is even more cool.

In honor of the upcoming Dresden Files and Battlestar Galactica line-up on Sunday nights, I present you with this link: [livejournal.com profile] shiggysicons has a number of Dresden Files icons available.

From [livejournal.com profile] myln, Pinup girls made of letterforms. (Not work safe.) I probably should find those as hot as I do, but pinup girls! Letterforms! Together! As one!

From [livejournal.com profile] hermionesviolin, Vampire Vineyards. I'd like to try that wine.

Edited to add: The poster which really makes me want to see 300.
