o... i torrent everything
but then, if it's possible, i still go out and buy the stuff - i just like to taste first

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

*whistles*

I am no innocent, believe me. My initial reaction was to ROAR but lol really, I give on this one.

In a way--okay yeah--I'm kinda chuffed! LOL.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

probably best
there's really nothing you can do
and most ppl that i know always buy the dvd/cd/book/whatever after they download it anyway - we're just impatient and have to have things RIGHT NOW!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah, am impatient about a few things I shall not mention...

If I found any book of mine on megaupload though (a friend found her book there) I'd kill that one. But torrents are impossible.

And hey never know--those folks might buy my next books, and that would be greatness. :)

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

yes
i must get into this "writing books" thing
for actual moneys
i has ideas
i fail at execution

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

No fails, no reason to!!!!

write something hot, full of torment and angst, and have a stunning and wow-inducing (same thing?) HEA even though it seems ALL must be lost. Cuz of course it was, until!!!

And write it m/m. Boys in love, yeah... Make one strong (but vulnerable!), the other boyish (but stronger than anyone could guess)...give 'em cool careers, set them somewhere way fun, and do it!

Sit buns in chair and write write write...

easy peasy!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

HAHA!
i can do the angst (i think) tho am better with humor/crack
m/m is a must these days
smut... not my strong suit
it's any type of coherent plot with like buildup/conflict/resolution that i lack

i might have to come bug you later for pointers

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

making loooveee not smut! You can make love, right?

LOL. Um. I mean, make your characters do it!!!!

anytime, I love sharing the m/m love. it's fun!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

good deal
soon as i finish long-fic-of-doom i might concentrate on some orig fic
yay!

incidentally, i just read 2 pretty good, totally high school gayboy books that were super cute

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I love high school gayboy books. Who was the author? Or the titles?

long-fic-of-doom! Oohhhh cool!!!!!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

one sec, i has to check
...
title "out of the pocket" about SoCal HS QB (hehe, abbrev.) who sort of accidentally comes out (very low on angst and mostly positive reception to the news, some dissent from classmates, and a sort of boy meets boy first time thing - way cute)

other one was... "what they always tell us" about 2 brothers, older one kinda popular, younger one bit of an outcast (due to "things") more angsty than the other but happy ended and more detail on the 'first time relationship' stuff

both YA at my library, but really not bad

long fic of doom has one more part to go! wheee!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Oh sweet! I like the sound of both of those.

When Nick and I were in San Francisco we went to a really nice bookstore in the Castro district, found several really good books there. I wrote down a list of some of the titles and never looked them up. But I was amazed at the variety of the books...frankly the m/m books I write are bought mostly by women, though i get guys too now and then. ]

I'm on a book-buying moratorium though...saving up for our Wales trip so we have money for petrol. LOL. but I'll keep the titles, this time.

your long fic of doom--it is not posted, yet, parts of it, is it? :)

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

CITY LIGHTS???? i always want to go there, my friend D sent me a postcard once ;)

i can never buy books these days - i needs mONEY - the library network is my HERO

fic is posted - the first 6 and a half parts (only half of part 7 - the final - is up cuz i am having WORDing issues) but i HOPE to have it done by the end of this month (i've been saying that since december, though...)
DEF be up before the new series, or i quit

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Okay cool. COOL.

No quitting allowed.

Nick and I don't remember the name of that bookstore, just that it was fun. Loved the Castro District.

Did not love the Tenderloin District....

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

Did not love the Tenderloin District....
do i want to know?

i dunno if city lights is in the castro, i just know that it's THE bookstore in SF

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Okay it is actually close to Chinatown, which we did walk up and down, and we rode the trolley near, but didn't see that bookstore. Darn!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

don't fret
'it's chinatown'

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

It was entertaining. I bought Nick a sword.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

cool!

(I did not tell him it was made of wood)
