Monday Update 2-10-14
These are some posts from the later part of last week in case you missed them:

Toroid Planet
How to Pronounce Old Norse
Class Warfare in Publishing
Writing Outside Your Traits
The February 4 Poetry Fishbowl went quite well. Participation was more enthusiastic, and I got a lot of stuff done. Yay! The followup general fund poll is running until Monday night. Decide which open epic gets the leftover money. The half-price series poll is running until Monday afternoon, so catch it quick if you haven't voted. The free epic poll is tied; I'll watch for it to break the tie and then close it.
Voting is now open in all categories for the 2014 Rose & Bay Awards. Please cast your votes for excellence in crowdfunding.

The Bingo Valentines fest is running over on Allbingo, from February 1-21. Get a card from any relevant fest, make your own, or use the public card. Sexual or asexual, romantic or aromantic, come make and enjoy fun stuff about affection.
Poetry in Microfunding:
" Its Very Existence" belongs to the series Path of the Paladins. Nahum struggles to survive alone. " The Feast of Saint Valentine" belongs to the series Frankenstein's Family. Victor tries to renegotiate their relationship, and Igor takes it badly.

Weather here dumped a lot of snow and then cleared up. It's been cold so the snow is sticking. I've seen squirrels around, and more cardinals and woodpeckers drawn to the feeders.
