My writing peeve of the day

[annathepiper]

If I ever get to a position where, like the lovely and talented mizkit, I get to be worrying about such things as professional names to use on my novels, it will annoy me that I will not be able to have angelakorra'ti.com, on the grounds that you can't have an apostrophe in a domain name.

And after all the grumpy-making effort solarbird and I have had to go through over the years to get people to spell Korra'ti CORRECTLY, it would suck to have to misspell it on my own professional site. ;) It's ALMOST enough to make me decide to be Angela Highland for purposes of writing!

But okay FINE, I'll sell a book first. :)

Heather's version is kind of hard to find--it's on a very old album called Freedom, Flight, and Fantasy. I have it on CD, but I think it originally came out on tape. Dates back to the early 90's, I think.

I've got that one, and Magic Moondust and Melancholy, and some of the other ones from Valdemar series ,etc... I had the Wolfrider's Reflections Tape and CD, but they disappeared :(

Ah, okay, I misread--I thought you had said that you hadn't heard Heather's version, my mistake. Actually, Julia's version is kind of hard to find, too, since she does it as a guest spot on one of the tapes done by the Technical Difficulties, and I haven't seen those (Station Break and Please Stand By) sold at a filk table in years.

Damn... maybe i can check around and see if some obscure person has a copy

Google is your friend!

Lol.. good thinking... though they did say that about Ebay too, until I found out just how evil it really was... My favorite google search is to type "Failure", and click on "I'm feeling Lucky"

[annathepiper]

eBay IS evil. Useful sometimes for getting rid of crap you can't possibly need any more, but. ;)

Google, on the other hand, is way more useful in general, and not evil. :)

True that... Last week in my boredom, I was surfing Ebay, and purchased an Invader ZIM baseball cap that I really didn't need... Have you tried the google search I mentioned above? If not, you really should... it's oh so true AND fitting...

[annathepiper]

I hadn't, no. *tries it* *smirk* Ah.

[shikyrie.livejournal.com]

Heh... told ya so... I think another one involved Weapons of Mass Destruction... gave a not found or something similar

[annathepiper]

There are a slew of jokes like this that keep coming around as new people rediscover them, yeah.
