EDIT: Thanks to a donated token, the writing journal has now been renamed kickshaws. To the donator: THANK YOU!!!!!

This is a Public Service Announcement. I would like to—

Goddamnit, why is it that whenever I decide to stop doing something or take something down, the universe invariably throws it up into my face that I really shouldn't?

I finally make up my mind to take down everything I've got stored over at FF.net, and then I find reviews in my email begging me to finish the giant V for Vendetta story that I abandoned years ago (it's not going to get finished, but I think by now all you V fans have learned to love me for myself). I decide to delete my fanfic LJ, and the next damn day a friend mentions that journal on a comm, potentially driving traffic to a collection that's only going to be there for another couple of months, tops.

*grumble* Feckin' universe...

Anyway, yes, this is a PSA, letting everyone know that I'll be deleting both my FF.net account and my fanfic journal graphiteslog sometime within the next two months, preparatory to opening my new website.

The new site will be my professional homepage. I'll be offering monthly short stories for PDF download from Lulu.com (it looks like they'll be costing about two bucks per download), the occasional longer piece, and some freebies. There will also be news and artwork from my upcoming projects. The site should go live sometime in December, with downloads to begin in January 2010. I hope to see you all there!

My writing journal will remain active. I do use the thing, after all. However, it may be undergoing a name change in the near future, something a little less project-specific, but that'll have to wait until I've got the $15 for a name change. (If anyone would like to donate a name change token, I will not object. I have no pride whatsoever.)

I'm not doing anything special for Halloween, but in honour of the modern version of the holiday, here's a gift from the vaults: from the dawn of horror hosts, I present to you Zacherley: The Cool Ghoul. Happy Halloween!
