I've been lurking, rather than posting, for a very long while now. The thing is, more and more I've come to disagree with DA's policies. Do I love what the place stands for? Absolutely. A place to stash art is hard to find on the internet, broad as it's become. But it's not a safe place for my art. At least, I don't feel it is.


I've been writing still. Anyone who's found me on tumblr has likely seen my stuff. Some of it is original. Some it's not. I will be moving most of my writing to AO3. The exception are the prompts; I feel those belong in equal halves to me and to the prompt owners. They will stay here. Everything else is going, and will be actually, physically removed by August, unless DA somehow won't let me.


I'm GrumpyGreenWitch on both tumblr and AO3, if you'd like to shuffle on over. If not, I'm glad to have met you, I'm honored you liked my writing, and I hope you find much in life to enjoy and love.

I was in WA when I wrote last. I'm in VA now. In between I saw KY for a couple of years.

I was with my SO of thirteen years back then. I'm single now.

I lived in an apartment. I live in a farm, and I'm moving to another.

I'm still alive. Most days this is an afterthought. Some days it's just barely enough.

In any case, I'm coming back to DA, slowly but surely. Writing is taking a little more time; I have not forgotten what I've promised, here and there and everywhere. And if you're mistaking my tone by maudlin, it's not.

I'm exactly where I want to be.

(My feet do hurt a bit, though. Work was busy today :) )

10K Hits closing in. Somehow it doesn't seem real.

Thank you to everyone. You're bright lights in a very, very bad day/week/"insert-time-here".

This one is for me.

So, not only have I been gone forever, :iconntldr: double-tagged me and 7.5K have snuck on me like they’re ninjas. Monkeygod’s teeth. 7.5K hits. I do not know where they’re coming from, but I am still beyond grateful to all of you.

Well, the rules are the same. If you got a present for the 5K hits, you cannot get a present now. Everyone else is eligible who wants to be.

The 7.5Hits slot goes to :icontennyo-umiko:.

The first Post-7.5Hits slot goes to :iconblackpearleyes:.
The second Post-7.5Hits slot goes to :iconsteamknight:.
The third Post-7.5Hits slot goes to :iconsylverwolf79:.

Here are the tags:

1. Post these rules.
2.Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs

Done this one already, so I can cheat XD

1. My mood decreases in proportion to the lack (or availability) of music. The more silence, the crabbier I get. Writing without music? Not happening.
2. Sometimes I am too afraid of my own nightmares to go to sleep - until I'm too tired -not- to.
3. I love singing, was in choir while I was younger, and am told I have a pretty good singing voice - but cannot for the life of me sing in front of anyone but the 2-3 people I truly trust.
4. I will be 29-ish for the next 10 years or so. More, even, if I can pull it off.
5. I am ridiculously ticklish. I just won't tell you where. And if you find out, I'll have to kill ya.
6. I believe in many gods, from many places. I place my faith in only two, and they both come from Olympus.
7. I can't draw a stick figure to save my life. Except once every year or more I hit an idiot-savant spot and draw moderately well (for a little while anyways). As soon as the scanner's plugged in we'll see what this blue moon brings me.
8. There are too many people in this world who've tried to get me mad at them - I remember none of them. There are three who have hurt my friends to get to me. I have not forgotten them.

Good grief life is busy. I'm working on a whole buncha stories that I'm hoping to post during the Turkeyday weekend, if not earlier. My brain was in complete rebellion over a Tracks prezzint, but I'm finally beginning to win that war, and everything else seemed to start flowing once that one did. I'm also in pain but that, like all things, will pass.



5KHits is closing in! Because this is the point where the prezzints will swing to every 2.5KHits, I am going to toss the rules out the window. EVERYONE is eligible for the prezzints this time around, irrergardless of whether they got a slot for the 4K or not.

The 5KHits prezzint goes to :iconskycat:, who got it exactly! ^_^
The first post-5KHits slot goes to :icondigimaster43:
The second slot goes to :icontattercoat:
The third slot goes to :iconcharade539:



Anyways :iconautobotvierge: tagged me for a meme, so here it is (finally!)
10 things that start with the letter F:

1. Flute. I'm a big fan of small wind instruments in general, the more archaic the better. Their sound is inherently soothing to me.

2. French Fries. I cannot even begin to explain how much I love potatoes in all their ways, shapes and forms. ^_^

3. .......................................Fanfiction. In all its vast (and sometimes strange) variety. The fact that I can take a dear universe and be made privvy to someone else's view and touch upon it still seems to me like the greatest of priviledges.

4. Felidae. Each and every one of them, from the small to the very large and hungry ones, every cat in existence fascinates me. Not just for their beauty, but for their independence and that seemingly inherent, intangible ability to slip out of our world and into those we can barely guess at, let alone perceive. If I were ever to be recreated into a better creature than I am right now, I would be a feline.

5. Fireworks. So many fond memories associated with these.....

6. Fish. For eating, not for watching. I LOVE seafood, and have yet to find anything come from the water that I don't enjoy eating.

7. Full Moon. I'm a lunatic (not in the sense of crazy): the moon dictates my energy levels, so when it's new I'm a bit apathetic and when it's full I'm at my most energetic, aware and creative. The Crescent Moon also has a bit of a different effect on me, but that's not for this meme ^_^

8. Flight. I hate flying. It hurts my ears, which are already not doing good from a double bout with ear problems when I was little. They also scare the bejeezus outta me because, unlike a ground transport, you can't even take the one-in-a-million chance and jump for the safety of terra-firma.

9. Funnel. You never know how much you need one until you don't HAVE one ><

10. Fire. I'm a creature of Water and Earth, and yet I'm fascinated by fire in every incarnation - the beauty of it, the quickness of it, the potential and ever-changing nature of it.




:iconfirestar0692: also tagged me for her own meme, so here it is as well. Name your 10 Favorite Transformers and 1 least Favorite Character(they can be human or TF). All Autobot,all Decepticon or a mix.
In the order they come to mind, rather than preference:
1. Jazz
2. Ratchet
3. Bluestreak
4. Mirage
5. Tracks
6. Skyfire
7. Omega Supreme
8. Ravage
9. Laserbeak
10. Hound..... annnnnd I ran out of space way too fast ^_^

And my least favorite: Comic Shockwave. He scares the LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of me.



And here I keep track of stuff:

People I'm working on prezzints/trades for:
:icontennyo-umiko:, :icondragonfurry:, :iconhellsfirescythe:, :icononiwanbashu:, :iconcdol:, :iconsilvercalovere: and :iconskycat:.

People who owe me stuff so I can work on their prezzints:
:iconazkitten:, :iconshinju-the-glutton:, :icondigimaster43:, :icontattercoat: and :iconcharade539:.
