I'm very sorry, takingitinturns participants, for making you wait an extra day or two for your assignments. I really am, because I wanted to go to the mall today after work and then sit down and send a leisurely 30 emails out with assignments. ( Read more... )

The signups for takingitinturns are still going on, but so far I have to say that I am THRILLED about the turnout -- the numbers are a bit smaller but the people who have signed up are awesome.

The fest is gonna be ( Read more... )

The reveals and master list are up at smutty-claus, YAY. I love that fest but it wears me out every year and I'm kind of exhausted now.

You'd think I would give myself a break, right? Uh, you'd be wrong.

Instead we have hpgw-otp awards, open for nominations now. (Would anyone be interested in making the winners banners this year? *bats eyelashes ( Read more... )

My takingitinturns gift has been posted! Go admire it and tell the artist how great it is!

ladysugarquill drew a great 3-panel piece of artwork that shows Harry and Ginny investigating a mystery -- and also shows some of the evidence at the same time.

♥ Made major progress on my own takingitinturns story yesterday, which is going to be a big mystery-conspiracy thing. It's going to be similar, in a way, to Walls Fall Down, which is one of my all-time favorites of my own stories. Except I ( Read more... )

I have a loose outline and about 500 words of fic for my takingitinturns story... and since I have a full month left until the due date, I thought I was doing pretty well. Until...

(Lucille Ball) It's a prompt that could be interpreted a lot of ways, and I ( Read more... )
