May I just say that I am completely overwhelmed (in happiness) to the point of tears that there are so many applications to hd_worldcup already and the post has only been up 14 hours? I'm seriously just watching the apps come in and going o.O. I really didn't expect that sort of turnout.

Medications are working and I'm a lot less pouty and whiny. Bit of advice, though - when the medication instructions say "use three times daily" - do NOT interpret it as "use every three hours". I might've done that with my cough suppressant. I am an idiot.

Moving right along - fandom_reads - for that book club that I mentioned earlier. Book Suggestions are being welcomed right now and we're looking to start soon! YAYES for this! So much fun! I've never been part of a book club before. I'm in love with yodels for spearheading this and getting it all organized.

slashfest Round VI will be accepting requests this weekend and claiming will happen next weekend. You don't have to claim to request and you don't have to request to claim. There are 406 outstanding requests from previous rounds so there's already plenty to choose from if you're only looking to claim. Plz to be expecting me to hit you up for things I think you might sekritly want to write that you didn't know you wanted to but now that I've pointed them out you're totally going to write them stuffs. BUT - with the change in canon in a variety of fandoms, I cannot wait to see what sort of new things people will request. I'm so excited for this!!!

I wrote a couple of things for yuletide that I will be posting in the next few days. I have my daily_deviant fic for January sitting open as if it were asking - "is it January 3rd yet?". Probably none of you will read it (cause it's that squicky het stuffs...) but I'm sort of in love with it.

Off to nap. I'll catch up on comments when I wake. Promise.

*grins* I'm surprised that you are surprised. It was bound to be a hit. :D

WOOT!

Signed up for the worldcup - will have to see if I'll actually get to write...

Have just joined fandom_reads... Will go and read the suggestions after I post this.

You know -- I've been tempted to write for slashfest but never really had the time to do so. I'll be looking at prompts to see if there's something that'll catch my eye....

_{why am I hiccuping all of a sudden?}

[wook77.livejournal.com]

:D There's just WOW, so many people. It will be a true lottery so you have just as much chance as everyone else!

:D There are some awesome prompts at slashfest. I have my eye on two from previous rounds, one that I've claimed a couple of times and havent' finished.

have you stopped hiccupping?

[nefernat.livejournal.com]

It must be very rewarding from the organisor's POV *nods* We'll see, yeah?

I know and I'll be sure to have a look at them when the new claiming period opens up. Who know what I'll come up with?

_{oddly enough - I stopped rather quickly after I'd left you that comment... O.o.... that's some awesome powers you've got there!}

i'm sad that i can't take part in the world cup because it sounds so awesome! but rl will absolutely not allow it. *sigh* at least there'll be a ton of great fic to look forward to...

[wook77.livejournal.com]

:( I was really really sad to see that too! I was really looking forward to what you came up with.

Stupid RL *kicks it*

I'm glad your trip was a success, btw. I have a couple of posts bookmarked to look at for more details when I can concentrate and appreciate (like your photo posts!).

I keep playing with the posting schedule to be able to maximize participation as I truly wasn't expecting this many people. I thought MAYBE 20 apps. MAYBE. We're on the 3rd page of comments now with about 70 apps, give or take, with another 8 days of openness for applying. I thought I'd have to pimp it around to get more people applying but no need, they just signed up. Quite overwhelming in a good way :D

I'm glad to see slashfest will be up again soon, and have already joined fandom_reads.

Unfortunately, the HD Cup is out for me. Health is still too unpredictable for something that huge, and there are loads more people who are way more hardcore about the 'ship than me, so I look forward to their work.

Slashfest is going to be so much fun!

:( I'm sorry that you're feeling so horribly. I read your earlier post and just wanted to offer you lots and lots of pets and stuffs.

I'm getting 2 massage type treatments tomorrow, so I'll be better after those :)

And yes, slashfest will be a blast.
