(This is one of the more embarrassing posts I've ever made, made even MORE so because I am, apparently, choosing not to friendslock it, and instead, show my crazy to the world. Because it will no longer be contained inside my head. *hands*) I have a problem. Have I mentioned this recently? I feel like I have. Maybe. I don't know. I'm subtle about these things. My problem is I LOVE HIS FUCKING...

Wow, lookit that! It's October 2nd again. And that means the natal day of airinshaw . I was trying to think of words that describe just how amazing Vonnie is and I realised that we haven't invented them yet. I don't understand how I got so lucky, not only to have her in my life but to have her love me as much as I love her. It doesn't get better than that, people, it really doesn't. She is...

Why? BECAUSE. It's airinshaw 's BIRTHDAY, you guys! VONNIE! IT IS THE BIRTH OF THE VON. I - words fail me here. She has been a friend for, GOD. I don't know. What year is this, again? 2009? So, let's count it up. SIX YEARS. We've known each other for over SIX YEARS, and every year that passes makes me love her EVEN MORE than before. Which is a LOT OF LOVE. She is one of the most amazing...

Quick! Before I forget and be even more faily. There are birthdays that have gone and birthdays that are now and birthdays that are coming up which I will totes not remember for more than the next thirty seconds (WTF, September babies?) So. Very many happy belated/now/future returns to the fabulous _unhurt_ , snoopypez , zellieh and moonlettuce . You are all wonderful...

So here we go...the giant list of writing and fandom meta. This list is not comprehensive. It's intended for people who are looking for meta on a specific topic (point of view, formatting fic, etc.). It's collected from many sources (given at the end), my own links, and some delicious and Google searches. I included things I thought were relevant to AI fandom and which were, in my opinion, correct...

Due to a newly crazy work schedule bandslashmania is in need of one or two new mods. Ideally one of these mods would live in the US (time zone doesn't matter) because we do have an active overnight mod based in the UK. (Of course, if you're someone who is awake during US daylight hours but aren't living here, that's cool, too!) Responsibilities are ridiculously easy: read the rules on the...

I have two things. Two! To tell you. The first one is the important one, so if you doze off after, all is well. 1. TB and I took a little trip on the train this weekend to visit one airinshaw , the better to vet her new boyfriend on behalf of you, the interwebs. My considered opinion, oh friends of V, is two thumbs up. If I had four hands he'd have those extra thumbs, too. He's a really...

Meeeeeeeeeeme. The words etcetera_cat gave me that didn't overlap with the ones I've already done are sign (language) Okay, so I could probably talk for hours about how there are different signing systems and not all are actual languages and that British Sign Language (like ASL, SASL, AusSL etc) has no written form and has an entirely different sentence structure to spoken English, but...

YAY! You guys came through! I have many words. Here are the first two. kanzenhanzai gave me flaaaaaail If there's one word that's going to sum up my fannish experience so far? That's the one. When I love stuff, I LOVE IT OMG, and, while I know that everyone isn't going to share every obsession I have I HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW. And it can take all sorts of forms, posts...

Median Panic at the Disco: Jon/Spencer 23,350 words explicit Disclaimer: I made the whole thing up. And if you found it by googling your own name or that of someone you know personally? For god's sake, hit the damn back button. That's what it's there for. Notes: Also known as The Accidental Epic (Told in Three Parts). Written for bandombigbang 2009. Sort of. It was originally inspired...
