This is going to be a big ol' post of thank yous, because there has been a lot of awesome in my life lately and I am not kidding when I say it has all been LJ-based. Seriously, I have no clue how I'd be digging myself out of the suckhole without you all and almost all the fucks I give about anything in the world lately are rooted here. This means ( Read more... )

I’ve said it before but my inbox is an awesome place; all sorts of fabulous things show up in it and I get to flail on people for “beta credit” on the most delicious art and fic, seriously, and sometimes, it explodes in smooches or recs or flailing and I remember all over again why I’m not a total misanthrope.

Macbook is sick with what Apple.ca tells me is "strain relief", which makes sense because he's been a fucking champion this month. With any luck, I'll have a replacement power cord by tomorrow, which means I can get back to the giddy business of working on Vaysh's fic, but until then, Yuletide reveals! \o/

I’ve put my skills, such as they are, up for auction to hopefully raise funds to aid those affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill at gulf_aid_now . I’m officially offering Star Trek 2009 fic or Harry Potter fic but if there’s something else you’d rather see me write, we’ll talk.

There's a short list of 270 I'm abusing as an index of must read/re-reads and the names I recognize on it are a pretty damned clear reminder of how talented this fandom is. bryoneybrynn , frayach , blamebrampton , faithwood , vaysh11 , calanthe_fics , lomonaaeren , lavillanueva , femmequixotic , oldenuf2nb , alaana_fair ...I'd be hard- ( Read more... )
