The Rejection It Burns

So.

sigh

Big Finish had an open call for Doctor Who short stories for an audio collection they are producing this year and I submitted a story called “The Tender Dolls.” It wasn’t accepted. And I’m a bit sad.

I came across a fairly old, cheesy, but informative video that I posted on Facebook and will also make some further suggestions for RSS readers in the few weeks before I delete my account.

Leaving Facebook Part 1

I am deleting my Facebook account on June 1, 2010. While I don’t necessarily want to, I feel that the company’s policy about privacy and the ways they manage my data are increasingly problematic and the difficulty of leaving that particular ecosystem will only grow harder the longer I stay. So I’ve given my friends …
