Sylar - Gabriel Gray

I'd like to thank punk4life1315 for letting me know I was using one of her icons. I try to always give credit, but sometimes I snatch an icon from someone who hasn't credited. When I do that, I always post on the icon the following:

If you made this, please let me know, so I can credit you.

If I don't have anything listed in the credit, that usually means that I made the icon (quick cropped some picture). As a writer and as someone who has begun dabbling in icon making, I know how important it is to give credit where credit is due. So please do not hesitate to let me know if I'm using something of yours.

Thanks,
thewatchmaker

It will be arriving on oct 26. amazon ships ahead of time so it will hit the porch on delivery day: Oct 26.

Redesigned Library for Better Music Management
Rock Band 3 allows players to create and save setlists and share them with friends, both in-game and through RockBand.com. New song filters make it easier to find the types of songs fans want to play and hide the songs they don't, while a built-in song recommendation system will suggest tracks from Rock Band's colossal music library, based on personal fan preference.

Expand the Band
In addition to guitar, bass, drums and solo vocals, Rock Band 3 adds three-part vocal harmonies that were introduced with The Beatles™: Rock Band™ and, for the first time ever, a keyboard peripheral to the band. Up to seven players can rock together for the ultimate social gaming experience.

Go Pro: Play Just for Fun or Rock for Real with Rock Band Pro
Rock Band 3 empowers players to develop actual musical skills through the fun of fully scalable Rock Band Pro gameplay. Fans can dive in on Easy to try out basic skills and work their way up to Expert for real mastery.

Pro Drums supports three expansion cymbals, with gameplay differentiation between toms and cymbals. Pro Keys features pitch-accurate keyboard performance across a two-octave range, displayed on an easy-to-read keyboard track. Pro Guitar features notated guitar and bass performances, available for play with either the new Fender™ Mustang™ PRO-Guitar™ simulated guitar controller from Mad Catz or the Rock Band 3 Squier® by Fender Stratocaster® Guitar Controller that is a real guitar/controller hybrid. The Rock Band 3 Squier Stratocaster is a fully functional, full-sized, six-string electric guitar that also functions as a game controller.
Something for Everyone (New Gameplay Modes!)

For the casual player, Rock Band 3 has great new party modes that allow fans to get rocking with friends quicker than ever, including party shuffle and persistent drop-in/drop-out and difficulty selection from any gameplay screen. For the serious player, the revamped Career Mode features 700+ goals and rewards and seamless leaderboard integration for an endlessly deep campaign experience. Rock Band 3 also adds a suite of social networking tools to the game so fans can engage friends and fellow rockers over Facebook, Twitter and more. Whether players want to jump in for a quick song or take their band to the top, Rock Band 3 has a mode for everyone.

Sorry for the lack of fic. Snot Monsters have eaten my brain. I am to the dregs of the flu where you have the hacking dry tickle coughs, but I am simply uninspired to write anything. Hopefully I'll get a nudge of creativity back some time this weekend. One of my favorite authors and friends is coming to spend the weekend while they're in town for a book signing next week, so hopefully a little shared writers' time will help me get going again too on the fic and my original work. Both are suffering while I'm under the weather.

I've finished the 100 Drabbles of Summer.
I'll finish the Letter Blog tomorrow.
I could go back and finish the TV meme that I dropped the ball on, or look for something more writing oriented. I liked the Letter Blog a lot, even if some of the prompts were badly - and I mean BADLY - worded.

Anyone know of something to keep me pulling my hair out for a few more weeks?

((Sorry I'm not around much today. I slept only 2 hours in the past 30. Brain is non-functioning, and I'm too busy to try to sleep now.))

Week before last had a bunch of company.
Last week had a huge fight with my housemate.
This week have insomnia.

So I am lagging on my tagging for all my boys.

Sorry.

I made 3 of the best friends of my life through RP and a love of Buffy and Highlander. The Five as we all ourselves still talk almost daily on line. Two of us (including my sister) live in the US, and the other three in the UK. We share a love of the original fandom that brought us together, and the sisterhood we have formed over the years. The Five of us have been together since 1999. That's an incredibly long time.

I've made so many awesome friends in the Heroes fandom, and some of you are my family too. I have new sisters around the world that I talk to everyday, and we will always be family. I don't have a cute name for us. But you know who you are.

We've been through hell and back together, fighting off the drama llamas...

I love you guys.

Always will.

The end of a series doesn't spell the end of a fandom. TOS was killed by NBC too, before most of my friends were born. I saw it in reruns, and it was my first fandom. I wrote fanfic before I knew what it was in school to keep my mind busy. When Buffy was canceled I didn't cry, because it was time. When Angel was taken from us far too early I did. I'm still pissed at Joss for killing both my boys in the end, Lindsey and Wesley.

I still hate Scifi for killing Farscape when they promised us 2 more seasons, then changed their minds. Farscape will always be the best show they ever had on the air. It was so much better than any of the Stargates, and it was certainly better than what they did to BSG.

FOX screwed with me three times - Profit, Firefly and Drive. I still watch Bones, Fringe and Glee there, but they will never get me to devote myself to a fandom. No Fringe, Bones or Glee fic has ever spilled from my brain, and no friendships were forged for those programs.

I will miss the hell out of Heroes. Sure they fucked it up royally with plotholes you could steer a planet through, but for one hour a week, I got to escape with Sylar, Peter and miss the Heroes that shouldn't have been killed off.

My muse still lives. As a matter of fact, Sylar's sharing brain space with Peter now. Go fig...

I think I'll always write Heroes fic, just like I still write Star Trek.

The Watchmaker is not going anywhere.

I got a request for a full manuscript for my Urban Fantasy novel set during the Great San Fransisco Earthquake. I am putting the novel I've been working aside for a week (hopefully that's all) to rewrite the end of the requested manuscript.

If I'm RPing with you, I may be slow in my replies. Editing uses a different part of the brain, and it's hard to shift back to creative/musing...

For those who don't know how finding an agent works:

1 - you send a query letter to a million agents
2 - some of them ask for partials - pages, chapters, samples
3 - you sit around on your ass for months waiting for replies
4 - a few request the full (the entire manuscript)
5 - you wait, you get depressed, you get hopeful, you WAIT
6 - if you don't bag an agent, you start all over again after you rewrite the novel or write a new one.

I've been doing a lot of work on my novel the past couple of weeks, and my muse has been left to fend for himself. Then earlier this week my dad had a small stroke, so my mind has been elsewhere. There should be a fic posted this weekend though. I've been neglecting poor Sylar. He's getting snarly.
