Deck the halls with er.. cobwebs by the look of it.
Oh, dear, where did 2012 go? I haven't done anything fannish since I posted by 2011 round-up at the start of the year ( Read more... ) -
2011 Fic Round-Up
Hurrah, Yuletide reveals have happened and now I can do a (rather short) 2011 Masterlist. First off, however, my thanks to fabrisse for The Hush of Society (Swan Lake) and to highfantastical for My Heart is Like an Apple Tree (Drina series). They were both quiet and thoughtful and lovely and I am very grateful, especially as I know this went out as a fairly late pinch ( Read more... ) -

How is it Christmas already?
*bats eyelashes* Can anyone do a quick beta for a shortish Remus/Sirius piece? Historical AU and I'm not convinced it works. I can offer Yuletide (or Merlin or HP) Brit-picking in return or can beta most British kidlit and a fair range of Fantasy and SF.
And, on an unrelated note, if you haven't done so yet, go to Google and type in 'Let it snow.' -
Dear Yuletide Writer...
First off, write something you'll enjoy. It's exciting just to have someone who loves the same crazy little fandoms as me, and I want you to have as much fun with it as possible. I'm not going to lay down some crazily precise requests, because I know how much that would throw me off, but I will tell you what I like about the fandoms I chose and ( Read more... ) -
*crawls out from under a rock*
Bleurgh. I hate the autumn term - flu followed by sore throat followed by colds followed by oh-my-god-what-the-hell-lurgy-is-that and every day you take off requires you to write hours worth of cover lessons and feel guilty about the extra work you're piling on your colleagues (I'm the only person in my department who isn't brand new, running large ( Read more... )
