So strange to be posting on DW/LJ: I feel like a foreigner peering around an unfamiliar city, not quite sure how the traffic lights work or what the road signs mean. But I like that feeling when I'm visiting somewhere new, and it's good to be back here, even if it's just a brief visit. So, hi!

The other feeling that's sheer bliss, as good as the ( Read more... )

A brilliant idea: a Golden Oldies round of the Porn Battle, where you can raid prompts from any previous battles! It's over on

I'm so sorry to be such a long time getting around to making this post. I kept hoping I could somehow run a battle this winter, but it's clearly just not going to be possible at the moment. I know a lot of you will be disappointed (hell, I'm disappointed), and I'm sorry I've been slow responding to emails/comments/messages about the battle ( Read more... )

I'm afraid a lot of this is cut and pasted from last year - I feel like I'm mad to sign up for yuletide, given that I couldn't even find time to write a proper new letter, but the very idea of not signing up for yuletide makes me too sad. It's also a bit of a placeholder: rough ideas only for my two 'new' fandoms, to be pondered over and fleshed ( Read more... )

Captive Prince is an amazing series by freece, and I would so love (a) to see such superb writing rewarded and (b) a M/M story win. So if you'd vote for it HERE (it's the quarter finals, an hour or so to go, and it's nail-bitingly close), that would be so good!

And a little poll.

We've had a wonderful mix of old fandoms and new, big fandoms, small fandoms, fandoms of one, new contributors and some who've managed an astounding number of entries.  I know fandom is migrating away from ( Read more... )

The Porn Battle is closed for entries, but there's plenty more fun to be had - enjoy reading and admiring the gorgeous artwork, and do give some love to the participants! And if you haven't had a chance to post to AO3 yet, I'd encourage that (if you need an AO3 account, leave a message on one of the question posts ( Read more... )

I haven't closed the poll, but given that it's currently 105 votes (+1 on LJ) for extending, 8 don't minds, and no opposition, I'll extend the battle!

The new closing time is 20:00 GMT Sunday 16th February. Lots more entries, please ( Read more... )

I've had a couple of requests for an extension to the Porn Battle, and I'm quite happy to extend it until Sunday afternoon/evening UK time (it'd probably be around 7 pm UK time), which would give three extra days, so here's a poll. If you don't have a Dreamwidth account to vote in the poll, you can leave a comment on either post (using open ID if ( Read more... )
