As mentioned in esprix 's post ( http://community.livejournal.com/sca/736913.html ) writing awards recommendation letters isn't that hard. When looked at with humor, it can be downright fun. This is a guide I wrote for my old fencing company in Caid. Though slanted to that kingdom, the principles apply everywhere. I'm posting it here in text form because it wouldn't fit as a reply to Esprix's...

Snagged from j_eventful   1. Pick 20 of your favorite movies. 2. Go to IMDb, and find a quote from each movie. 3. Post them here for everyone to guess. 4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie. 5. No Googling/using IMDb search functions. I'm thinking of making rewards for the user with the most guesses...Be warned, I'm posting this on multiple...

FINALLY IT IS DONE. I did this meme a few weeks ago annnd my computer kinda died right in the middle of it and needed shipped off for repairs. So it took me a very, very long time to wrap it up. Sorry for the wait, those of you who requested! Hopefully anyone who missed theirs due to the delay finds it here. So! Many many fics, some of which got insanely long. >>;; Includes slash, het, bloodbending...

Meme request from esprix that was too big for the comment boxes, the request being "Aang/Sokka/Zuko, Aang tricks the guys into teh sexx0rs." S3!fic. With, uh, no actual sex in it, but definitely not worksafe. Agggh, this took too long! XD It wanted to be way too long! But I liked the way it was going too much to rein it in when I should’ve so really it’s my own fault. Minific meme, brain...

Almost all my memories of Stuart involve slash cons - from my very first one in 2003 through 2006 or so, we shared a hotel room (with a third fan) at every con both of us attended, two or sometimes three a year. He was a great con roommate, unfazed by girl stuff or anything else, so easy and so fun and so willing to share the joy. And he loved his cons - at Escapade in 2005, on Sunday morning I was...

I can't believe he's gone. At first, when I heard the news from his housemate, a mutual friend, I expected to hear "Heh, fooled you!" shortly thereafter. When the horrible truth set in, I just didn't want to believe it. And then it was all too terribly confirmed. A man I greatly respected, admired, and even loved in my way was gone, and all I have left are memories. I'm very grateful to esprix...

There is tragic news to be heard. esprix has informed us that minotaurs passed away this morning. ...If it is awful and mind-numbing for me to hear of such a loss, I can scarcely imagine the pain felt by his many friends and family members.  My thoughts are with them. Although I never spoke to him personally, he still managed to impact my experience of fandom (which is undoubtedly...
