*waves* Felicitations! It's a new week, which I'm rather excited about, because last week for some reason bordered on "do over" status (at least Monday and Tuesday did). This one is looking much better! cut because it got long )

And on the non-fannish/fic horizon, there are... fun travel possibilities. More on that later, if it comes to pass. (Wouldn't want to jinx it.)

Finally, some pimpage:

There's a Gen Battle going on over at [livejournal.com profile] fox1013's journal. There's already several entries, but like the greedy ficcer I am, I need MOAR. If I can break myself out of the Fic o' Doom, I will try and add something too *g*, as they have some rather tempting prompts. Ends February 29... 28th... how many days are in this month this year?

Write or Die - For my fellow writers. I was a little skeptical that this would work when it was introduced to me by one of my off-LJ buddies last November. However it is... alarmingly good at what it does. There's something just a little bit frightening about your screen going red, and strange noises being blasted at you to KEEP TYPING. But I have a problem with checking my Gmail every five seconds, so it might not be as effective for someone who doesn't want to be bullied by their computer.

But it's kind of fun.

And sadly, my lunch break is over again, so I am off to dream of ways to be cruel to my favorite characters work again.

Happy Tuesday! Monday is gone, and we're looking at a bright, (unexpectedly freezing) afternoon here in Texas. Or perhaps it's just unexpectedly freezing here in my office. I haven't had opportunity to step outside as of yet. No matter! It is Tuesday, therefore it is not Monday. (Also, Jacques Cousteau is the feature on my desk calendar, so it does not appear to be a day of crises.)

First off, I've finally managed to catch my breath long enough to upload a birthday present that the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] trystings made for me! It's cover art for my story, "By Any Other Name"! Go check it out, t'is awesomesauce!

Secondly, it's Challenge Pimping Time!


Twisting The Twilight Zone 2009 Challenge


This is a multi-fandom challenge where you write stories inspired by/based on episode (or episode titles) of the Twilight Zone. This is actually the first one I signed up for this year, and has served the purpose of kicking my butt back into gear*. It's actually rather fun -- at the very least go read through the episode title list. If you're stuck for an idea, it's remarkably inspiring.

And of course, the Challenge du Jour. I know most of you have already heard about it, but why not another little reminder?



Sign-ups for 2009's SGA Gen Ficathon are now open, until Saturday February 9th. [livejournal.com profile] sga_genficathon is a month-long ficathon that's run by the always lovely [livejournal.com profile] friendshipper, and is chock full of gen-ficcy goodness. Last year was amazingly fun to write for, and generated some absolutely amazing stories as well. If it sounds like something you're interested in, mosey on over to this post for more information (and sign up!)

And because I'm a giant copy cat, snurched from [livejournal.com profile] jadesfire2808's journal:

Snurched Profile test )

Hrm, it's... close. But I don't think I'm anti-social to the extremes the test seems to think. Ah, well!


In other news... )

ETA: Oooops, all links should be fixed now.

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.

[personal profile] sholio is organizing a gen SGA H/C fic exchange (or as I'm thinking of it, the fall SGA Whumpathon :D) over at [profile] 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.

[profile] jadesfire2808 is hosting a multi-fandom comment fic HappyFest at [info]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.
