Back to work

Well, our big all faculty meeting. At least this time there was some good workshops on advising and decent donuts. We had wine after.

It would have helped if I hadn't had a nightmare. I can't remember much other than kids in a haunted house. I could hear something chewing in the closet. Even after I woke up, I heard it and kids screaming. It was so real I had to read to calm back down. Special.




Day 4 -Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"


I have done a lot of this in the last couple of weeks between the newcomers from the great Tumblr diaspora and the ljbookbingo friending meme. Welcome everyone.

Dear Chocolatier

Thank you so much for writing/drawing for me! I hope you had fun doing it and I can't wait to see it. I'm pretty easy going when it comes down to it.

General Likes. If it feels like an episode of the show/manga then I'm happy. I love seeing the gang working together or if you want to do a more intimate story with just the pairing that's splendid too! I'm a sucker for banter and characters using their wits. I'm good with alternative realities too.

General Dislikes mpreg (it's fine if there's a trans character but these particular fandoms don't have any), non-con, character bashing, complete AUs where everything is changed but the characters and of course no racism/homophobia etc.


the smutty stuff I'm more about the intimacy than anything. That said, I do like a little bit of BDSM (nothing too humiliating or painful, more like light bondage, toy play etc). Adventuresome is fun too. Basically if they're both respectful and loving I'm good.


And since the more specific likes for each will probably get long let's tuck it under a cut. ( more details this way )

Where did this day go?

Almost nothing got unpacked. Nothing got done for work. I did go to the library only to find it closed for a funeral of a board member so I went grocery shopping but I hadn't made my list. I have to go back tomorrow but I got what I wanted, celery, carrots and onions to make the soffritto for my soup.

I got the towels out of the vanity to see where it's leaking but the u-bend is dry as a bone so now I'm just confused as to how the hell that towel ended up wet and mildewy.

I received the edits for my SF novella. Oh boy such BAD timing for those since I need to get the crap done for work. The first two weeks of the semester are crazy.

And enemytosleep talked me into doing chocolateboxcomm thing so I've officially gone 15 years back in time to when I can't resist a fanfic challenge. That said it will be my last. Oh I'll still do my usual (pic for 1000, spook me, etc) And speaking of that, have this




Day 5 - In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Oh there are so many. ljbookbingo which is new to me but I can't resist a reading challenge.

And I like su_herald and I'm still a bit stunned that there is still this much Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel the series momentum in a fandom that started over 20 years ago.

Points up to the chocolate box thing that sounds fun. Here are some of my other favorite writing challenges picfor1000, spook_me, wipbigbang fandom_stocking & 12_daysofficmas

For general writing there's allbingo, inkingitout,faerie_wish13, getyourwordsout and I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I also do the write every day thing but it bounces around so it's not really linkeable.
