Betrayal Drabbles

Well the long drive after dropping Mom off at the airport was apparently good for my muse. Got two vampire related drabbles and one long series of drabbles about the betrayals in Connor's life (ones done to him and ones he himself did). I thought it would be short and not sweet. Ten drabbles later, his life gets poked at thoroughly. It's under an umbrella title and each drabbles is more or less in chronological order. Enjoy and as alway all rights are Joss's and all are rated FRT (i.e. Pg-13)

All sorts of appreciation

Still have to write up the big me and mom post but until then let me catch up on all the author's I didn't get to appreciate

 

blaar_rosir - She does some really nice Cangel work and I can say that even though it's not one of my favorite ships. Check it out at One More Addication.

 

druinsanity  - I'm just starting to discover her stuff but she does a great Anya. Check out Love's Sacrifice

 

catlove  - She used to do some really great Cordelia fic and she's moved into the HP realm so give her website a glance (and check out her icon site too)

 

jadedcynic  - Someone else I'm just getting to read. I really like her Faith so head to her LJ too

 

rahirah  - She's another one I've known forever and a day since the 80's and Elfquest. Nowadays she does a killer Buffy/Spike. Head to Barb's BTVS Fanfic

And heck with it, check out scribesds, stars91, and tinpanalley and probably just about anyone else in my Flist since we're almost all writers. If I forgot anyone I'm sorry.

So, I couldn't sleep last night and I started thinking. This "Author Appreciation" week has been FABULOUS and definitely a great, great thing but I started wondering about the other people who comprise our fandom and don't generally get thanks. Like, the wonderful icon makers? Or the people who are always volunteering for a quick beta when needed? The ever-dependent betas writers couldn't do without? The consistent feedbackers who make a point to let the authors know how much they and their stories are appreciated? The amazing people who are always reccing new stories for others to broaden their horizons? The genuinely nice people who make this fandom such a fun place, the people who delight in the fandom no matter the craziness of it? I think these people need appreciation as well because without them, we wouldn't have such a fantastic, inspiring, wonderful, thoughtful, smart fandom. So I say we give the unsung heros of fandom their own special appreciation week. Who's with me? I declare March 13-20 the "Unsung Heroes of Fandom Appreciation Week." If no one else wants to participate, that's fine but each day I will post my praise of someone oft-overlooked in fandom.

If you so desire, pimp this to your flist. If not, that's cool

 

And since this is already terminally long, I'll just thank my betas first. They make me as good as I am (and yes I'm vain enough to think I'm darn good at this). give them a big hand evil_little_dog ,bashipforever ,leni_ba ,marenfic , blaar_rosir

A truck load of awards

The Primordial Soul awards came out with the winners for the second round and sent out the awards for it AND the first round (computer woes slowed that up) Boat loads of categories and they're open for the next round so check it out. Oh and since there's so many you can just look at the pretty pretty awards and see if I took first or second place.

Fata Viam Invenient, one of my more overlooked stories, future fic, cross over with a Gwen/Connor pairing won in the unconventional couple award ( Read more... )

Canned Spam

Yeah I know I'm spamming but this meme from Aaronlisa was too funny and appropriate NOT to share

cornerofmadness is distressed.

If it's not one thing, it's another. Your life is a pitiful wreck, and it's all you ever write about. Why don't you at least make up a happy story for once. Your friends would appreciate that.
