Shades of Greyias

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 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. sga_genficathon is a month-long ficathon that's run by the always lovely 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 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!

ETA: Oooops, all links should be fixed now.

Still been feeling pretty down today, despite my bright outlook on the future both fannishly and in real life. (Tomorrow brings new wonderful likely squeetastic SGA, as well as a trip to DFW to talk over... future living arrangements possibly)

To combat the non-renewal blues, here are a few posts of ♥ that lift my spirits:
medie  is running a Spontaneous Love Meme! (And you know, feel free to drop me some love too if you're in the mood.)
xparrot 's warm and fuzzy mcsmooch : One Day Away
sholio 's heartening post
telesilla  is hosting the Second Annual Blanket Fort Day
sheafrotherdon  has a snuggle post

Fandom, you are awesome. I love you.

If I have time when I get home from work, I might try and add to the warm fuzzies. Not this week, but perhaps next week would be an opportune time for that "impromptu" snarkathon I've been wanting to do for a while. However, for now, some lolcats:

Oh, Leesa! You really know how to brighten up a dreary Wednesday morning!
