The man has finally arrived in Out of the Woodwork. I couldn't resist poking fun a little...

If any other writer fancies joining in with this on-going story, please just ask.

Another chapter has been added to the on-going RP story on AO3. I've been adding some unlikely character mixes just for fun.

I enjoy visiting flea markets and car boot sales, charity shops and antiques/collectibles fairs. One car boot sale in particular is a good resource for vintage finds, but unfortunately it's held on a field and due to our very wet spring the ground is currently too boggy for safety. It can't be helped, but the organisers have been heaped with complaints because of this. What are they supposed to do? Let it go ahead then have a pile of cars and vans get stuck in the mud?

It's a shame that Wilko's has closed. I found this shop to be so handy for practical things like light bulbs and tins of paint. I need some undercoat, so this is going to mean a trek now.  There's a Rightways a half-hour walk away, which is much smaller than Wilko's was though it sells similar things. In theory I could buy the paint there, but carrying a litre tin soon gets heavy and I've done something to one shoulder. Don't ask me what, as I have no idea. There has been no obvious injury. The achy, twingey thing makes sure I remember it's there, though.

Time for a coffee, I think.

Following on from yesterday's out-of-the-blue post, I've added a new ghost/murder/vampire story to AO3.

It was a project begun years ago, co-written purely for fun. Each chapter is approx. 500 words long, which keeps things fast-paced. Each chapter is written from one character's view point.

When the message board on which it was originally posted floundered the story ground to a halt, which is a shame as it has a lively beginning. I intend to continue it.

If you wish, you can read it here

And if you fancy joining in as a co-writer, let me know. The story is currently listed as belonging to the Anne Rice and Supernatural fandoms, but characters could be drawn from anywhere at all.

I've now handed in the last of the work-related courses which I had been lumbered with. Thank goodness they're out of the way! There were six courses in all, and each course consisted of a textbook and an accompanying questions and answers workbook which we so-called students had to complete.

I hate to moan but the courses were so dull - badly written, (the punctuation was diabolical), chewing over the same ideas repeatedly - and pointless as previous courses which I've done are at a much higher level anyway.

Out of curiosity, as I'd never heard of the examining body, I did a quick bit of research online, and swiftly found that not only are no qualifications from this particular company recognised anywhere in Wales but also that they're unrecognised by UCAS either, as UCAS considers them to be below their quality standards! So what is the point of my employer inflicting this rubbish on we employees? A tick-box operation, obviously, so they can say they offer in-house training.

In addition to these courses, I also had to update my First Aid training. This meant a long drive to the other side of Cheshire, which is a pleasant way to spend work's time. What would you sooner do, slog away at the daily routine or drive through picturesque villages and alongside verdant fields bursting with cute and spindly-legged black lambs?

Do I sound jaded with regards to my job? A few friends have made this observation. Maybe it's time to start looking around for something better, or at least something different. A change of scenery can be a good thing sometimes, can't it?

Change of subject: I've begun adding a new story to AO3, called A Cup Taken Coldly, which was one of my favourite RPG stories from a particular Ricean forum. It was co-written by several other people, while I wrote as Louis, and was a lot of fun to create as it shows Louis DPDL's ruthless side. Typically, though, I don't know their OOC names and so I'm unable to give proper attribution to my fellow writers. If you recognise your work, do shout up.

 A short Ricean RPG story, called A Roman Idyll, has now been posted on AO3, if anyone would like to wander in that direction for a read. Mature rated, it features Louis and Lestat enjoying Rome and each other.

I have just added Part Two to the three-part RPG story, Journal of a Wanderer in Time, to my AO3 site. The story features Louis DPDL as the main character. If you've a spare half hour, scoot over and have a read, if you wish.

Found!

The good news is that I've found two complete Ricean RPG stories and a RPG journal which had been forgotten amidst a bundle of old documents. The bad news is that I'll have a lot of typing to do before I can add them to my AO3 site.

The other bit of bad news along these lines is that nobody seems to be able to help me complete Halcyon Nights. The first part of it is available now on AO3 but the rest seems lost to time. It's so long since I wrote these stories! Time flies...

By the way, the next installment of the on-going RPG which I shared here , called Out of the Woodwork, will be posted soon. I need another writer who wants to take over Colin's role. If you're interested, let me know.

So what's new? Work, food, sleep, work. You know the routine. It gets old fast, but that's what pays the bills. For being a good employee, for having not taken off a single day of bogus sickness or been late, my pay slip had a scratch card stapled to it as thanks. I won £1. I'd celebrate but it wouldn't be much of a party on one quid. One Mars Bar delicately divided between how many people...?!!

Halcyon Nights

 I have just added another Ricean RPG story to my AO3 site, called Halcyon Nights. I hope you all scoot across and read it. There's a link to that site in the side column on my journal here.

The bad news is that it's an incomplete story. Does anyone out there have the rest of it stored anywhere? If you do, please let me know so I can complete this Lestat/Louis story.
