Busy fic day

Went to the noon Mass at St. Joseph's in Lowell, thus we were home earlier than usual. ::Looking down the archive:: As you can see, I've been busy writing/typing/posting fics. The drabble challenge is good for me: it's gotten the creative juices flowing when they'd started to run thin a little. The hard part was posting the last chapter of "The Smoke of Satan", since I felt that had come out a little thin, thus I wrote/added a new scene for it before posting it.

I managed to pull all this off in between the thunder showers that were running through all afternoon: At last, the wretched humidity is abating, and it's feeling cooler already.

I also found a lovely LJ new community which features a short bio of the saint of the day: catholic_saints. I loved their entry on St. Maximilian Kolbe!

Unhooking for the night: I have an early start tomorrow since it's the holy day of obligation (The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary), and I have to get to Mass before I go to work. That and I have another "A.I." fic idea nibbling at me for tomorrow's challenge...

31_days Drabbles: One "A. I.: Artificial Intelligence", one origi

The first one I started writing last night and it's one of the most lyrical pieces I've written for the fandom. The idea for the second one came to me at Mass today: I was crying happy tears as I wrote it.

Title: "Dormition and Assumption"
Day/Theme: August 15: Air and stars
Series: NA Original fic
Character/Pairing: None. Original fic
Rating: G

Note: I wrote this in honor of today's feast in the Catholic calender, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In some of the apocryphal gospels, there are accounts of the Virgin Mary's death and assumption (or "dormition", as the Catholics of the Eastern Rite call it), from the Apostle's point of view. I was inspired to write from the viewpoint of the central player in this dramatic moment...
