lettered | Someone get this walking carpet out of my way.

1. Happy Birthday to

violaclaire, who apparently, may share a birthday with Mary Queen of Scots.

2. Did you all know that NC-17 is supposed to mean (according to the MPAA) those under 17 and 17-yr-olds shouldn't be watching/reading? I always thought it was just those under 17.

3. I won an award! Best drama, for the IWRY Marathon, for my fic Bodiless Within The Bodies!

. Thanks again to

chrisleeoctaves,

canadiangirl_86, and the three mystery readers.

4. Also thanks again to everyone who participated in the IWRY Marathon. I have not read all the stories yet, but I certainly mean to (and I know I'll be rereading many!), and I'm really looking forward to it. Also, another big public OMG I love you to

chrisleeoctaves, who made this marathon so wonderful this year.

5. Also, big thanks to

terilyn4 who nominated Best Souvenir for best WIP at the When The Sun Sets Awards. It was the first time a fanfic of mine got nominated for anything, and I feel truly honored.

6. I liked S/B on BtVS. Nevertheless, you won't see me reccing Spuffy very often. Now go read

stultiloquentia's fic. It's just . . . fun. Like fanfic should be.

ETA: Stulti has just reminded me that we should hassle her non-stop for B/A pr0n. Go. Go hassle. (I've adjusted the link so you guys can read above the cut, the part where she says, "I have B/A pr0n; come hassle me chickies!")

7. My Granny wants to know if an article published recently, about someone who is up-and-coming and also good looking, made me want to--and I quote--"erp." Serious girls like Joy, Granny says, do not say things such as "you just want to muss his hair" (as the article put it) about men.

Now, seeing as how the man in question is related to me, and I'm not keen on incest except in fanfic, no, I wouldn't say that about the man in the article. But Granny, you're right. Serious girls do not say they want want to muss the hair of smart, successful, handsome men. Only jokesters do that.

Serious girls say they wanna fuck 'em dry and then when it's all over call in the next to do it to them all over again.

you're welcome. Best Souvenir is one of the best What If? stories I've read (and I've read a lot!). I just had to nominate it :) Oh and hurry up and write the next chappie :-p

Congrats on your win at the IWRY ficathon. That's a kick ass awards banner.

She did write the next chapter. You should be yelling at me, her slow-pokey (but cute) beta reader.

*yells*

*pokes*

*runs away and whistles innocently*

Don't think your saucy tune will save you from my leap to defend her honor!

Unless you wanna poke me too because I have fic of hers I haven't beta'ed yet either. We're a pair.

A pair of what, I dunno.

*pokes you too*

Well, my finger was still in poke-mode.

Sounds like it's time for . . . you guessed it: poker!

I kill myself; I really do.

You're punny!

Any fun anecdote behind "warning: tentacles"?

Any fun anecdote behind "warning: tentacles"?

Got one thing to say: where you been at??? And yes, bad grammar totally required here.

stoney321 posted a list of summaries for bad!fic here. Go read, laugh, and feel better about yourself.

Then

mpoetess made icons of certain choice phrases in the summaries here.

My favorite, I think is: "Xander waits for the inevitable. *includes rape*"

Runner up: "Xander gets tortured. warning: humor"

Funny how the best ones are all about Xander.

It almost, but not quite, makes me want to get a paid account. As it is I booted out Anne of Green Gables to warn people about the tentacles.

Because people should be warned.

That's one long link.

You know what? I do remember being linked to

stoney321's post, but the "warning: tentacles" seemed to have slipped my mind in the face of the icon. And I obviously missed them being made into icons, so I'm glad you linked me because they're awesome and I'm pretty sure I'll be taking a few!

falls down from all the poking. What do I look like over here? Now I can't beta because I'm wounded.

Aww! Did that mean Semby hurt you? Lemme kiss it and make it better.

This is all my fault. I'm ashamed that you should be wounded in the line of duty. You martyr you!

Here, have a cookie.

Munches cookie and feels much better.

There is snow here! Lots of snow! Ack!

My children are out there shoveling right now. Which was the main reason I had them - cheap slave labor.

I wish we had snow. But it's in the 40s today! Cold!

And the word "cheap" will drop out from your vocabulary when they some how for some reason get this idea in their heads that they want to go to college.

It's a child's ultimate revenge. MWAHAHAHA

not to mention the braces and bar mitzvah thing.

Oops! Didn't mean to poke so hard. Guess I don't know my own strength! Need help back in your chair? A finger massage? Anything to help the beta process. ;)

Leave her alone! You've done enough damage! *sobs*

*hangs head in shame and walks away*

I love you!

(But not in a deep way.)

But you love me deeply, right?

Sticks tongue out at

semby

Cute, but also: fantabulous. Also, indispensible. Also Macy's shoppin' NYC hoppin' extraordinaire. Also, not-letting-me-make-Angel-act-like-a-weird-psycho-(except-where-necessary)-. . . uh . . .-in' . . . gal? Also, the better half of my brain that makes sense.

well, get your cute little buns in that chair and get busy beta'ing! :-p

yes, mommy. (probably this weekend)

Thank you. I didn't know what the WtSSA was until I got told I'd been nominated! It was a very cool feeling.

And yeah, I have another seven chapter written; four are with my beta.

canadiangirl_86 made the banner, and yeah, isn't it super dooper? I'm so tickled!
