50 in '07: 1.5

This one technically doesn't count towards fifty books this year since I read it last year while waiting in LAX to board a plane to England, but hey, I'll write about it anyway.

My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding is a short story anthology about just what its title says. (Unlike Firebirds Rising, where the stories really weren't related to the title.) I picked it up on the basis that it's edited by p_n_elrod, my favorite vampire writer and the main reason I want to hit A-Kon some year, just to get to meet her in person and thank her for her books. My favorite story in the book actually ended up being hers, a retreading of the old ground of the wedding caterer's story but with the very nice twist of the Elvis impersonator wedding singer who's just a bit more than your standard tribute artist. There were curses, more than one werewolf story, Native American love charms, a story way inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean movies which actually wasn't half bad, and a couple dips into the realm of vampire/vampire hunter lore. The two stories that'll get me to checking out the author's other works, though (which is kind of the point of an anthology, I think), were a vampire and werewolf wedding by cover-page-listed Charlaine Harris, and a story set in an alternate Victorian England by Susan Krinard. Both of them charmed me, and between those two and Pat Elrod's story, I feel no compunctions at recommending the book. It was worth the $14.00 I spent on it.

Ultraman Moebius fanfics, posted!

Well, I spent this morning editing and coding stories so I could toss some of my backlog onto my webpage. They've all been previously posted here in rough draft forms, but now the final drafts are up and collected.

In the canon'verse, there's With Full Knowledge: The Power to Protect, which is a study on episodes twenty-nine and thirty.

In the "Alliterative Arc" AU I'm writing with hoshikage and sandpanther, there are (in chronological order) Reflections in Rhapsody, which is smutty, A Touch More Time, which is not and follows on developments in hoshikage's work-in-progress Crystalline Chaos, and finally Days of Dreams That in Their Courses Convene, which confronts a problem in our stories and spins it out to the next level and next planet, as well as leading into sandpanther's story Turnabout, which I hope she'll let me put up next.
