That's right, it's time for...

Good News: I got called today by a local college where I applied for a teaching job!

Bad News: They were calling me to let me know that all of the adjunct positions had been filled. In July.


Good News: Enrollment is higher than expected and they might add another class!

Bad News: There's no guarantee that I'll be picked to teach the class.


Good News: The Vampire Fred: Wicked Game has been on TQ's best-seller list since it debuted and it's still there!

Bad News: I have no idea what this actually mea

Another Review For The Vampire Fred: Wicked Game...

This one's from noted gay historical fiction author Erastes! I'm pretty honored that Erastes picked it up and took the time to review it, and liked it even though it's a bit outside her "comfort zone" (ye gods, I HATED that term at Goddard!)

Here's the link: http://erastes.livejournal.com/432990.html



Also, it's looking like Fred will be winning the project vote (but that doesn't mean you shouldn't still get your votes in, the 2nd place winner will probably get the next Free Fiction Friday slot!),

Free Fiction Friday - "Dead In The Water" - Part 6 - SFW

So here we are at week 11 of Free Fiction Friday! It's also two 12:01am posts in a row, which I'm quite proud of. hopefully I'll be able to make next week's with plenty of time as well, as I start a full time job next week while waiting to hear back on a teaching job. I promise to bust my ass though to make the deadline, make no mistake about that.

I also want to take the time to give a shout out to my fellow Free Fictioneer, [info:] id_locke who's doing Free Fiction Friday as well, so make sure to chec

Free Fiction Friday: "Dead In The Water" - Part 5

So here we are! 10 weeks in a row of Free Fiction Friday!!!
I wanted to do a contest, but to be perfectly honest, I have no idea what kind of contest to do or what to give away. If you've got suggestions, leave them in the comment thread. :)

I want to thank everyone who's been following Free Fiction Friday... Free Fiction Friday Fans... The 4F Club! :) Well, run with that if it strikes your fancy.

In the meantime, please enjoy the next installment. And, of course, if this is your first time on FFF

Vaughn Has a Tip Jar, WTF?

Yes, I admit it.








First of all, I'm NEVER planning on making a subscription thinger for Free Fiction Friday (because I could hardly call it Free then, could I?). The whole reason it's there is because I live in an area where being a writer is pretty much my only means of income lest I get a teaching job at the local college (another thing I've got my fingers crossed for).

No, really, I'm working!

Getting work done tonight and tomorrow on this weeks Free Fiction Friday, primarily because I get the feeling that [info:] 2metaldog will have me flayed alive if I even think about delaying a week. Besides, this week will be 10 in a row if I can make it in time! And that means a contest! :)

Make sure to let me know what kind of contest I should be having, as well as which kind of prizes I should give out (but only within reason, I am a starving writer. ;) )

And don't forget to vote for the next project! J
