I have to admit I adhere much more to the "Bah! Humbug!" tradition when it comes to V Day.
One of the first thoughts that passed through my mind as I woke up this morning (for I am waaaaay ahead of most of you and it's the 15th here) was "Thank f. I got through that." The second was "Good Lord! This is the third consecutive one I've spent on my own." I rather fear that the one contributes to the other. (And OMG I'm still channelling Giles.)
However...I seemed to have received many lovely things - thank you twicely anonymous fairy type person,
so_sharlemaine and
sexymermaid for the lovely virtual chocolates and flowers and
lmbossy for both your e-card and your pervy/pretty post-cards. ETA Thank you also to the third anonymous fairy type person (Geee! you get around) and to
amybnnyc ::smooches:: for more flowers. Wowzers. Now I'm feeling suitably chastened because I don't really *do* V-Day and I have nothing to offer in return. But my heart is warmed with all your kindnesses *g*
Except! Some recs? That's
spreading a bit of love, right? :)
This month at
good__evil it's Good Giles and Evil Ethan. I *might* have a story in the works for that. We'll see. Also next month is Evil Lilah and Good Fred and OMGLiekWoah I have *many* ideas for that. And so should all of you! :D
There's a great new community for artists and writers to share their work called
fic_banners. I have already signed up for one banner, because you know I can never get enough banners mainly because I write way too much fic. But I thoroughly recommend going over and checking it out.
lighter_wesley has started up monthly fic challenges. The first one is
"Comfort" Three gorgeous and shortly sweet Lilah-centric fics
