I have been torrented.

Seriously.

I HAVE BEEN TORRENTED!!!!

LOLOLOL....



In other news, getting closer to good news re: the ms at Loose-Id, I got another great fanmail emailie (makes my heartstrings sing!), my royalty check DOUBLED from last month, my sister is gonna send me 1k as partial pay-back from when she borrowed money from me last year, or was it the year before that, AND...my electric bill was CUT IN HALF with my new company!

www.greenmountain.com, I LOVE YOU!

And Reliant? #$@* OFF! (I leave the cussing to N, yeah)

It pays to go green!

We shall be able to eat in Wales.

Life is sweet.

Being torrented is GREAT fun! I always feel special in my heart. :D

Though sometimes mildly offended at the lack of stealth on behalf of the people who pirate from me. Jesus, people. Have you HEARD of l33t? Scrambling names?

Laaaame. :p

LOL. I hope your royalty check is SWEET! What a wonderful thing that Loose-Id has hooked up with those online sources. The leetle checkies have been going up up up ever since.

Yeah, my boyfriend unearthed that this morning. Snark. Nothing can be done of course, so...whatever. Damn pirates. LOL.

Fortunately I think alot of people are afraid of torrents. I know I am... LOL.

Like I asked earlier... how long till LooseId gives us a paperback version of ARTS? I'm probably not the only one who would spend the money again to have a copy.

I found a site that would print and bind one copy of the book for about $12. Too bad I can't legally do that. Sucks. I would have had them make you a copy.

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

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!

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. :)

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!

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!

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? :)

I never actually printed it out. I should, soon as my boss buys more paper. We're almost out which is annoying as I want to print a few things out!

LOL.

Did not love the Tenderloin District....

I appear to be an internet incompetent, b/c I have no idea what "torrented" means. I take it from your reaction it's a good thing, so yay!

And yay for electricity and money and royalties! I owe you a big email, btw, b/c I finished Red and loved it. More details will follow in said email soon, promise!

Oh vay, awesome!!! Glad you finished it--it is a monster!

Torrents are those illegal uploads people do. I believe it is not illegal to use torrent, but it is illegal to upload and download copyrighted material (like Red), and music, and movies and tv shows, etc....software...it can also be a hotbed for viruses. User beware! Really impossible to stop though.

If I found it on megaupload, mediafire, etc., I could do something about it as those companies have the ability to zap things.
