Whumpathon, Bringing the Happy -- and Firefox

[greyias]

The trip to DFW this weekend was very relaxing (house hunting relaxing? Whut?), and actually made me feel really good and dare I say, happy about the very scary changes I'm about to make in my life. Sadly, those changes are still at the very least a few months off in the future. So in the meanwhile, I'm looking very much forward to getting back into the swing of writing.

Two fun challenges are going on/signing up this week that I plan on participating in, and therefore would like to pimp.

sholio is organizing a gen SGA H/C fic exchange (or as I'm thinking of it, the fall SGA Whumpathon :D) over at sgahcchallenges. Sign-ups close this Friday, and stories are due beginning of October. Being an H/C junkie of primarily the gen persuasion, this makes me very happy. Go, sign up! Let us flood the intarw3bs with hurt, comfort, and Team Dork! Sign up post is here.

jadesfire2808 is hosting a multi-fandom comment fic HappyFest at bringthehappy, which focuses on happy endings and bringing the warm and fuzzies. They're still gathering prompts until early Wednesday morning (UK time I believe), and instructions for writing will go up tomorrow morning. Warm and fuzzies ftw! Prompt gathering post is here.

And on the non-fannish side of things: is it just me, or is Mozilla's server really slow today? Is everyone and their mother downloading Firefox 3? (Well, I know I am...) I got up to like 2.3 KB/s and got excited. Oh, this might take a while.

Just running past to say thank you for the mention! And yeah, prompts close at 7am tomorrow, UK time, which is ridiculous-o'clock for you guys. The UK guys get a headstart for once, instead of waking up to find that you've been having fun without us ;)

I've signed up for the h/c thing as well - apparently I have a challenge addiction...

You're welcome! :D I plan on submitting a few prompts myself, I'm just trying to figure out what (and try to make them normal -- I can do normal prompts I swear!) We do have a bad habit of partying without you guys, so I guess turnabout is fair play.

And there's just something insanely fun about signing up for challenges, even if I do feel like kicking myself at several points during them. (Although the freak out posts are amusing to read later on)
