beachlass wrote a happy ending (complete with porn) to my Rodney can't say anything mean story: anything at all. YAY!

twistedchick educated me as to the history of the word 'hack' which I assumed was from 'take a hacksaw to something' but is actually slang for people who write on a time limit. Interesting post about that and profic authors being lost in fanfic land without a passport.

kink_bingo is alive and kicking with brand new sparkly kinks: Pervertibles! Mechanical/Technological! Emotion Manipulation! I'm SO EXCITED!

Voting on McShep Match icons is only open for another fifteen hours! (Until 6pm UTC Thursday.) Please go vote, if you haven't already! *begs and bribes*

Thanks for the round-up! I made my own rounds this morning, and I think I've got them all covered. :D I have to admit that the hardest was the McShep icon voting. I did, of course, vote for Team Work (*clings to you*) but there were so many wonderful icons for both teams that I felt a little guilty. Still, there can be only one. Hee!

<3

Yay! It was tough - there were a lot of awesome icons, I'm so proud people really put up a fine effort. Thank you for voting Team Work, bb! I know I still owe you a fic (maybe I'll do that on lunch today...), but you want another?

[iadorespike]

Just for voting for Team Work? LOL...no, sweetie, not necessary. Also, I'm not worried about the fic. It will come when it does. I know that these things can't always be written on demand. The muse can be fickle. It's all good. :)

I've got to leave in an hour to go to the doctor - Oy - but I see that you posted at Casa McShep and I need to read and comment. I was gone most of yesterday, so I didn't see it until this morning. :( It's going to be later, though...I need to wax. ;)

*runs off*

Actually, I just got a GREAT idea for a follow up to the Variations 'verse. It may take a little while as I have some commitments beta-wise, but I think it's next up on my list. <3

[iadorespike]

Ooohhh, this is EXCITING! :D Something wonderful to look forward to. Yes. You know, you are much too good to me, but I really like it. ;)

Yeah, um. Well, I've written 1500 words so far, and just sort of shifted it over from what I thought it was into something entirely different, so. It's going to be longish, I think.

[iadorespike]

It's going to be longish, I think.

*bounce* If this is supposed to put me off you've got the wrong girl. LOL I am very excited. :DDD Isn't it interesting, though, how stories can just take on a life of their own...do their own thing - as it were. I am very excited to see where it goes. :)

And. Today is the day! Sign-ups! I wonder how quickly the teams will fill up? You might set a record. :) I'm always amazed at how little time it takes for all the spots to disappear. :)

I have a feeling it's going to be over in about five minutes, to tell you the truth. I've very specifically recruited some authors that have never written for the match before, so, that should be SUPER exciting. :D :D :D

And I figured you'd be okay with it, I'm just... arg. I've been so cheerfully writing these 750 word fics without much editing or plot or anything, and today I did the second one and realized, oh hey, I should really go about this a different way. And then I sort of grew a premise, which is not at all the sort of writing I've been doing for my morning pages, and now I'm actually going to have to edit this thing to make it work. And then write a second piece in a different POV. Oh boy.
