...one more reason for never locking my fanfic on lj if I can help it.

I'm reading trekfic linked from delicious.

Do you guys have ANY idea how many of those lead to a dead end?

*harrumph*

I know some of the reasons people lock their entries, but seriously? I so hope everything worth reading ends up on the AO3, our one-stop-shop for fanfic *grins*

Oh, and to top it all, I've got the same twinge and pain in my left shoulder I had a year and a half ago, where I ended up having to go see a physiotherapist. I probably didn' t help the problem any by sitting in front of the laptop half the day, finishing translating the work website *growls*. I am also tired of answering people's stupid questions regarding ordering online at the work webshop. Seriously, it's not rocket science and people never used to have problems before! I don't mind answering questions if they're intelligent. If it's because your settings on your PC are interferring, how the hell am I supposed to figure that out? I so do not get paid enough for this job. It's possible the stabbing pain in my shoulder's making me a grouch *rolls eyes*

*growls and goes in search of pain killers*

I came home from a stressful work day (it's term start, I feel homicidal....), to find a package from catspaw_sgjd

She made me slippers!



Not only do they fit perfectly, but they are soooo comfortable and warm and soft and.... yeah. Couldn't have timed it better, hon - they say it'll be as far down as 12 minus C in some places tonight...

I owe you big time - now I just have to come up with ideas as to how XD

The Sure Things in Life | Startrek: Reboot | Kirk/Spock | prompt: pon farr

Night, night, peeps ^_^

Crescendo | Firefly | Mal/Jayne | prompts: Filthy

Nuff said, huh? Pornbattle entry numero dos!

No, I don't DEAL well with amateurs XD


Which File Extension are You?

Right. This is to see if we can settle on some dates for the meet-up and so we can get an idea of when most people would be able to join. If we choose a weekend with some or our numerous holidays what we could do would be people could join when it was convenient for them - no one says everyone has to be around for all the days we choose. Even joining for just one day would be a great opportunity to just see people and make new friends. For the new ones joining here, unless I hear offers of bigger places, we'll do this in Odense. I've got room for a few with the use of air mattresses and a fold-out couch. Not to mention that noracharles lives in Odense as well, so that would provide more room for sleeping guests (I believe some of us are now so old we need sleep too XD)

What we'll be doing during the meet-up? Suggestions are more than welcome. skuf suggested meta/discussion - particularly non-wanky topics (those are always more than welcome), and fics if we can find enough fandoms in common.

And hey, why not just do a round of 'pimp your fandom' or have writing sessions. The sky's the limit *grins*

So it's up to you guys now ^_^

Poll #2120 Meet-up in Denmark
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 6

Dates that might fit with YOUR schedule

As this is crossposted through DW, LJ and IJ - I'll collect answers and put into a post when the poll runs out. Shall we say we set the deadline for the poll on the 31st of January? That should give you guys time to get hold of people who might not see this post and point them in the direction of it.

1. I have to remember to bring my calender from work so I can put down some dates (and post them) for possible Danish meetup. Any suggestions how to do it? Poll? Any nifty interweb based ways of doing it?

2. I found this Startrek XI vid on youtube this morning and I was laughing my arse off halfway through. No, definitely nothing sweet about it XD

oxoniensis wrote Castle fic - so much in character that she totally made my morning ^_^

1. I have a head full of snot. Sorry for the disgusting image, but it's to warn you guys that I'll either drop off the face of the earth for a few days while I'm fighting it or, as is more often the case, I'll be posting really weird shite (well, weirder than normally).

2. I've been thinking about f-locking my entries, mostly due to what has happened to an online (and offline) friend whose had some arse contacting her work to tell them what she does online (as well as quite a few extreme lies including beastiality and child porn). She works within the educational system, so you can imagine what kind of shite might hit the fan, but so far her work place is taking it easy, so that at least is something. What I'd like to know is what the fuck makes people pull such shite in the first place? I see friends left and right f-locking and I had a moment of wondering if I should do the same.

Only, you see, that's where the stubborn arse rears it's ugly head. I'm talking about me, yeah LOL. I mean, first of all, my boss knows what I do online, so there's really nothing there. And with my line of work? Not really a problem. I'm still angry beyond words that anyone would do this, going as far as coming up with lies. So this really mentally disturbed individual (I can't bring myself to call him/her/it a person, that would be too kindly put) goes and screws over another person's life. Just like that. Why is it that fandom seems to occasionally want to show me just how brain dead some people can be? How absolutely disgusting? So no, at this point I refuse to f-lock my entries - purely out of rebellion, although I support those who chose to lock them fully - understanding why they do it.

I really want to run into this individual in real life - I'd like to introduce him/her/it to a verbal ripping of a lifetime.

*heads off to find the painkillers*

Right-o - before I head off for a nap. I've had my sister, brother in law and their two boys visiting today, to celebrate my b-day (which was yesterday)

Thank you to all the well-wishers - no, I do not consider 33 a high age XD

Thank you to mos_self for virtual party hats *dons one and laughs*
Thank you to sol_se for the virtual coffee - you have to love friends who know your favourite brand of poison *g*

and I have a small gift for the Merlin-minded of you. It's not... as such, in the NSFW category, but sorta? I mean, no dangly bits, but not exactly g-rated either XD (I'd say R-rated, nothing higher). I've had a hankering for a while to do a full sketch - with background. Nicci saw the very early stages of this one since I did the prelim sketch during our days in Alcester and Cardiff.



So, cheers everyone - hope you're all doing well.

*schmooches everyone*
