If only...
...the mere act of installing Scrivener and Liquid Story Binder would inspire me to actually WRITE.
(I have the itchy creative brain/no inspiration combo that often precedes me flinging myself bodily into a new fandom. Unfortunately, there's not one damn thing I'm feeling fannish about right this minute, so instead I will go farm leather and crab meat along the Pandaren coastline.)
Edit: And then I was ridiculously pleased to finally track down, after YEARS of not being able to remember anything about the title and author, and remembering only the most sketchy details of plot, Godsfire
(This was the cover it had when I read it.
I remembered said cover completely wrong, except for the part where there were cats. Now I wonder where the hell my mental image of a vaguely Egyptian-esque cat lady reclining on a throne came from.)

I'm feeling irritated with fandom and less than fannish too - this tends to be where I fall off the fandom map and start coughing out worldbuilding on OCs on a regular basis. >__>

I will never object to you coughing out worldbuilding. <3 Or writing.
But look, Neko, look! The book I vaguely described to you is FOUND! I have found it! Five years of digging through lists of sci fi novels with alien cat people has paid off!

*pokes at book link* ...that is...a rather special Photoshop job on the new cover. But ooh, she's got a lot of books, doesn't she? I always kind of like that, when there's all sorts of oneshot books. It's a tendency that I miss in older authors. A lot of authors now just seem to stick with the same characters over and over....

I get the strong feeling from that cover that it was a case of "this is out of print so she decided to make her own cover and put it up for sale herself". Which I...kind of like? Or at least wish more authors would do with their OOP back catalog.

I agree! I like that authors are doing that, too. There's so much good stuff that is out of print now. One author I really like who's doing that is Rosemary Kirstein. Her Steerswoman series is awesome. :D
