Never too early to think about holiday gifts for writers...
« on: May 31, 2012, 09:48:25 PM »
OK, you know what I really want for Xmas?

Someone has an avatar with a keyboard that has a Fuego sign on it.  I WANT something like the Staples easy button, but it says Fuego and when you punch it with your fist a huge gas flame ignites! Dangerous yes. Not for kids yes. BUT I WANT ONE!!!

I could burn little bits of paper in it when some sentence I write deserves to be roasted.
I could slam it when someone is being irritating in front of my desk.
I could light it to get warm and fuzzy inside.
I could brighten a dreary night.
I could kill werewolves, zombies, wicked witches, and all those countless fairy tale tv series (to be fair, I hear they are good--I just don't want to watch them) with it.
I could really flame someone on line and they would never know it.
I could live out an OCD fantasy and every time I finish a paragraph, I could hit it.

What could you NOT do with a fuego easy button?

Wonder if I got someone really drunk at Buzzy Multimedia they might actually make me one... And not by putting it on a t-shirt--although that is a safe alternative...

So what's on your list for the holidays? No killing off people though--no matter how vile they might be.

A heavy armoury of powerful tools for dealing with all the other problems afflicting the lives of my beta-readers, so that they can settle down and read the things sitting in their inboxes and get back to me soon.

Also, a button for activating the "eighty extra hours in which you do not need to sleep or eat" feature of Friday evenings when I am on a roll.

Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

I want the button that download all my stories directly from my brain, without having to fall back on the massively inefficient method of writing it out by hand   ;)
