Okay, it looks like the Eastern Europe fest is going to actually happen. It won't be for a while yet, but I wanted to get down all the major details so that I won't forget. So, here we are.

( Details )

I've slowly started archiving my fanfiction, but it's kind of a cringeworthy experience. So much of the stuff that I wrote in 2009 is utterly terrible, and even if I was proud of it back then, I can't stand looking at it now. I'm just uploading it for the sake of completeness. Well, maybe somebody will like it. (update: And... now I just deleted ( Read more... )

So, after doing some looking around, I'll probably have a job after Easter. Most excellent. It isn't in the bag yet - I still need to apply formally - but it's at a business owned by a friend of the family, so I'll be very surprised if I don't get it. Times like this, I'm quite glad for my father's connections. 8) I'll be making less money than I ( Read more... )

So, it looks like I need to start looking for a new job again.

I should've seen it coming, I guess. The entire planning department has received layoffs, so it looks like I was the next cut. I'm not upset exactly; more like just angry. I want to yell and kick things, heh. Goddamn, it seems like I can't hold down a job for more than three months at ( Read more... )

Well, it's Equinox. And it's snowing. And doesn't show any signs of stopping. Wonderful. I suppose it could be much worse - but I really miss living in Nova Scotia and being able to experience a first day of spring that is actually spring-ish ( Read more... )

The fest is getting much larger than I ever expected it would be. Haven't done a count yet, but it's almost twice what I had hoped for, and that's great. I keep hearing people say that APH is on its way out. Well, maybe it is, but the fact that there are still so many people willing to participate in an experimental, off-the-cuff fest like this is ( Read more... )

Well, well! So far, the fest is going even better than I had planned. I will not lie, I was kind of worried that nobody except my friends would be interested - but so far, there's over 25 people signed on for it, and the signup has only been open for a couple of days. It's a good sign. Unless a whole boatload of people decide to drop out, it looks ( Read more... )

All riiiight. So, now that I've managed to hammer down the details of the fanwork challenge, I'm ready to start actually doing things to get ready for it. The comm's created, at least - for reference, it's nordipalooza (I have Nate and Nunuut to thank for the name, hah) - but I don't have anything actually on it yet - I'll have to take care of that after work ( Read more... )

So, I've been thinking of putting together a Nordic fest. I've never done this before - so input would be appreciated.
