First off, for those of you who are wondering, I'm recovering and coping, for the most part.
In other news, I'm currently waiting to hear back from a couple of publishers regarding some stories I've sent out. I just sent out an anthology submission for a superhero romance story and I've also got some furry fiction that I'm waiting to hear back on (but I don't expect to hear back on that very soon, as the deadline for submitting that is today or tomorrow so I know it'll be a while).
In other news, on sort of a whim I was looking at some Exalted stuff recently and described to
cama_sotz a mixed-game setup I randomly spun off the top of my head. I mentioned, in passing, that I'd rather play this particular setup than run it. He responded with:
"No one would rather run Exalted than play it. Telling stories in the Exalted setting is awesome. Navigating the bullshit rules and errata is... well, bullshit."
Sage wisdom, my friends. Sage wisdom.
