Today, I finally managed to wash that man right out of my hair. Yes, after nearly fifteen years of being married to a douche who skipped town on a two year old and his wife. Let me tell you now, if you have a kid together divorce is complex, it's even more complex when the parents live in different states. Add on contested custody and you have a fight eightten months in the making. It actually took me ELEVEN YEARS to get to today because of legal issues.

After three hours of presenting evidence, testifying, and cross examination my mom and I walked out of the court wit this song in out hearts

Eventually we met up with the kid and  all skipped down the street arm in arm.

More inside, and the fic I most want to pimp

Omens by MissJanuary - One hundred years of swirling, living ink. Layers of words, history unravelling on skin. Tattward and Inkella. Not a fairytale.

Another trailer, gorgeous Jamie.  Don't know why, but Outlander Italy always gets them first...

Can't embed, but here you go...(ETA: looks like I actually embedded it twice, but can't undo them...sorry!)

Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures

Each week I will brave the treacherous waters of Fan Fiction for buried treasure. Below are the gems I've found this week!

Hello Campers!

Here are a few treasures for your summer beach reading.

Don't forget to Review and tell'em ADF sent you!

Let's get the word out that ADF is where the cool kids hang for fic recs, discussion and other assorted tom-foolery!

A Blazing Heart by Violet Bliss

Don't forget to feed the trees...They're hungry!!

I was going to ask this in wtvoc's Friend-fire, but that thing has over 400 posts now and it would just get lost.  

To quote her Purpleness:

"jandco & i are soon going to be inundating you all with obnoxious posts about our upcoming self-published novel"

That's it.  That's all she said.   

I HAVE QUESTIONS!

Like .... what's this novel about?  When can we expect it?  Where do we buy it?  Are they selling autographed copies?  

Hmm.  I'm probably being pushy, huh?  They might not be able to answer these questions yet for, like, REASONS. 

Ok then.  How about we all guess what it's about? Go ahead, give me your best guess in the comments.  Or post pictures of men in kilts.  Or post pictures of hook-handed pirates with creeptastic eyebrows.  Your choice. 

meet your fellow campers

hi, everyone! your ranger dirty uncle wtvoc here. i have things to do, so naturally i figured it'd be a good time to make a post like this.
