FOR SALE: Small clay (Fimo) figurines, each unique and made to your specifications. I can sculpt characters from your own published book, from your own manuscript-in-progress, or from a favorite book of yours.

I am also willing to attempt figurines based on existing visual media – a TV show, an anime, a photograph - but no guarantees on how closely they will resemble the source.

These might make a great, or at least unique, gift for a writer friend or relative. They might make a great, or at least unique, gift to yourself as a reward for finishing and/or selling a project.

I can get pretty good detailing on clothing and prop items, but faces, as you can see, will be more sketchy.

Ai Ling and dim sum banquet, from Cindy Pon’s Silver Phoenix.

Ari (in jeans and leather jacket) and Freki (in fur) from Janni Lee Simner’s Thief Eyes.

Sameer (in hoodie) and nagini from Shveta Thakrar’s eagerly awaited novel-in-progress.

Each character, including optional props they have on their person (ie, a sketchbook and pen, a sword in hand, a pigeon on the shoulder, etc) is $35. More elaborate props which are not on their person (like Ai Ling’s banquet), or larger and more detailed animal companions, like a fox or a fire-lizard, are $20 each. A large animal companion (like a horse) counts as an individual character. Postage is $6.00.

Comments are screened, in case you want one to be a Sekrit Gift or otherwise want them to be secret. Comments not of that nature will be unscreened.

After going through the extremely long registration process months ago, AND being given an official college email (for Santa Monica City College), I have now been informed that I cannot enroll in classes because I am not registered, and must register again. Goddammit.

College application, again.

"I do NOT permit SMC to release my information to the:
Directory Information
(check if you agree)
SMC Foundation
(check if you agree)
Four-Year College
(check if you agree)
Military
(check if you agree)"

If I check the box, does it mean I DO want SMC to release my information, or I DO NOT? I can't figure out if "check if you agree" means "check if you agree that you don't want the info released," or "check if you DO agree that you want the info released."

I feel like this is a stealth IQ test, like something in a Heinlein novel, and asking for help means I flunked.
Well, that was harrowing. But I seem to be enrolled now... for a 4-day-a-week, 2-hour class beginning at 8:00 AM. You probably have to have interacted with me in the early morning to know exactly how horrifying that is.

I particularly recall this interaction with my roommate [personal profile] coraa, at Sirens:

[personal profile] coraa, waking me up at 8:00 AM, as I requested the night before: "Rachel, it's time to get up."

Me: "Thank you!"

[personal profile] coraa, later: "That was the least thankful 'thank you' I've heard in my entire life."

(I had to do the class at that hideous hour, or it would make other things I need to do very difficult.)
