A New Year… Same old Resolutions?
By Pemberly Rose
Welcome to 2012 everybody! I hope everyone has had a wonderful and relaxing New Year! I know I had a pretty great one filled with peaceful silence, fun dinners with friends and lots and lots of sleep. You really can never get too much sleep when you’re in college....

When Plot Bunnies Attack!
By: Pemberly Rose
November is National Novel Writing Month. Also known as NaNoWriMo. For years I’ve participated in NaNo in some form or another unofficially, writing or editing with a friend. I had hoped that this would be the year I would crank out 50k words in one month but alas no. This year,...

Of Fandom charity
By: Pemberly Rose

Also a disclaimer. This will...

Real Life Vs. Fic Life
By: Pemberly Rose
Last month we talked about how difficult it is to get through a blockage when you’re trying to write anything, from FF to orig fic to just a homework assignment (if you’re a college person like me), now how do we balance our fic lives with the ones that surround us. Now I know we all...

Of Blockages and Blinking Cursors
By: Pemberly Rose
For this month’s Confession I was stumped for a bit. I didn’t know what exactly I wanted to talk about until Wednesday of this past week. It hit me as I was trying to work on my fic Life in Technicolor. You see I had this plan. The fic has little over a dozen chapters left...

Psst…I have a secret… One I share with about a bazillion of strangers on the WWW, twitter, this blog and various sites. I’m a fanfic writer. Only problem…no one in my real life knows this about me.
I have been in the fanfic closet since 1998. No seriously for twelve long years, I’ve been evasive and hiding what I do from...
