There is some stuff that I am excited about that you might also be excited about. Perhaps my excitement will be contagious. Perhaps it will sweep across nations, stopping only when Madagascar closes its port. Here’s what I have planned for 2013:
More F/F stuff. More lady stories. More female protagonists, antagonists. More lady heroes. More lady villains. More stories about women for anyone who cares to read them.
Better F/F stuff. Better lady stories. Better female protagonists and antagonists. Better lady heroes. Better lady villains. Better stories about women for anyone who cares to read them.
Here’s how I plan to achieve this:
Copious amounts of tea.
AND:
Professional editing. I’m hoping to be able to make a formal announcement that Lesbia has a professional editor on board soon. So get your ballgown out of storage and brush off your tuxedos.
ALSO:
Art!
I like pictures. Odds are, you like pictures too. This year there will be much more art to accompany my fiction, custom made for the tale it references. The ball is already rolling on that front, with a lovely artist on board to create some drawings for Lesbia. Check out this draft sketch of Kira (after the jump.)
That is effing awesome, Loki! Congrats! I’m excited for you and am giddy for new amazing stories from the Master Storyteller! Yaaay!
Cheers pippin 🙂 (Seriously, the number of times I almost accidentally call you puppin is off the charts.)
I’ve been re-reading the Tank and Rigel stories as I resume the writing of the next one, and they are pretty fun. It’s like meeting old friends, really awesome old friends. I do like Tank and Rigel a lot, but as their literary progenitor, I might be biased.
Well, the number of times you never cease to amaze me is waaay off the charts. You are truly a great writer, and the F/F community is very lucky to have you write stories for us. Thank you.
puppin *g*
Aw thanks puppin ;). You are far too kind as usual!
You are not. You are a proud parent as you should freaking be! I am really excited and giddy about this. I wish you all the very best, Ms Renard!
Shorter and perhaps more meaningful: Yay!!!! 🙂
Thanks DD 😀 And yay, yes yay!
Wow, that is exciting! More Loki stories and now illustrated too! (That sketch of Kira is hot, btw.) Looking forward to a great 2013 on the Lesbia front. 😀
Everything is better with pictures, right? The sketch is grand, isn’t it? Can’t wait to get the finished product of that. So exciting!
More and Better is always more better!
I quite agree! And more better, indeed, more betterererer is what I’m going for this year.
Hey Loki , can I be Kira’s now PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm are you sure? 😉
This is all super exciting. And she’s a winning artist and illustrator, Loki. Good find!
It *is* exciting! And I’m glad you approve of the art too :).
