This and that

estepheiaAfter watching the first season of Veronica Mars, my daughters are ardent Logan/Veronica shippers. *is proud* My eldest said something along the lines of: "Can't wait till I've seen all 3 seasons, so I can write fanfiction." *is even prouder*
Little one (at 12 not quite so little anymore) was so worried about Logan on that bridge that I had to tell her that no, Logan does not jump to his death.
And suddenly I feel mega-nostalgic, remembering the time between S1 and S2 and all the stories dealing with who is outside Veronica's door in that last scene...
And I feel like reading a nice Logan/Veronica post-series fic. So, if anyone has a bookmark saved for such a fic....
Two years ago, I submitted a 100 page text sample of my original vampire novel to a fantasy novel competition. I didn't win, and forgot about the whole thing. Yesterday, the publishing house sent back the manuscript together with the gift of a book and a nice rejection letter saying that they thought long and hard about my text, but that it does not fit into their program. I should continue to write and maybe submit something else. Unfortunately, there was no editor's name under the letter. :( And I read in a forum that someone else received such a letter - in February. Very odd. They had 1400 entries. I doubt Random House mailed out 1400 boooks, so I'll take it as a compliment.... :)
Unfortunately, my muse is still gone. I seem to have misplaced my passion or writing. I feel like an amputee, I can still feel a ghost or shadow of that old passion, but it's not real enough to do something with. Okay, so I tinker with my Giles/Ethan fanfic, but how many times can you rewrite a scene? 50 times? And if I were to finish the next chapter... would I even find a beta to look at a story that hasn't been updated in years? *sigh*
