Have you all noticed that sign-ups for yuletide are now open? Until Monday evening in some time zone other than mine, so there's no rush, which is good, because there's a zillion fandoms listed. I'm sitting here making lists and I'm still only on the Fs ( Read more... )

I nicked this one from arallara, to distract myself with while I scribble little snippets-of-things - a more smut-oriented version of the 12 characters meme ( Read more... )

Things that have entertained me lately, for various reasons, in no particular order: Two Lumps; bridge crossings; the sad decline of epic-writing since the mid-90s; Ewan McGregor; a truly driven artist.
