crazydiamondsue is talking about marketing your fic and making fic recs. I wholeheartedly agree with her points about the nature of fandom and such, both as a reader and someone who does rec posts.

Looking for a beta for a couple of fics: (1) a little over 1,000 words and set post-NFA with pairings of Angel/Cordelia/Wesley, Buffy/Gunn, Fred/Willow, and Wesley/Lilah and (2) a short, dirty Buffy/Tara femmeslash mini, mostly looking for grammar/spelling due tomorrow.

I was all prepared with my list to be productive today, but my stomach had other ideas.

Why is Barry Zuckerkorn on Crossing Jordan? I'm seeing crossover. What's with Nigel's hair? OMG, it's been too long since I've watched this show. He's like the anti-Barry.

Tony has his surgery tomorrow for his sleep apnea so send good vibes his way.

I didn't really have time to check the flist before I left this morning and boy, are you people chatting. Actually, does someone remember how to do the lj command to filter out communities? (At least I thought there was one.)

I spent far too much time at G.I. Joes today. I also had a semi-bad allergic reaction when lornelover and I went out on a date, which also included me tripping in my 4-inch platform shoes and skinning both my knees. After going back to my mom's house for downtime and discussing the Atlantis wank, the heterosexual life partner and I met waterredwood at the movies to see The 40-Year-Old Virgin, which got 2 thumbs up and 1 thumb that had to think about it more.

What I Found On My Flist Tonight by V.Wishes

itsabigrock has issued a challenge for Angel/Spike authors to index their fic at the Reference Key.

Minister of hate to "hunt down" Swedish king - crazy Fred Phelps is going to Sweden to dethrone their king because "Sweden is the cradle of all evil and that the king rules a nation of sodomites." *giggles and shakes head*

More Brokeback Mountain information, including a link to the original short story. Be prepared with the tissues. Also I'm such a country bumpkin. In the story, there's several mentions of them losing quite a few sheep to coyotes, which had me thinking 'well, dorks, you brought blue heelers, which are cattle dogs, not sheep dogs.' Cattle dogs herd by nipping at the heels of the animal, while sheep dogs herd by facing the animals. It's really funny to watch Lulu, my mom's blue heeler, try to herd the chickens around the barnyard. (No, she doesn't hurt them as they're too low to the ground for nipping.)

A San Francisco Gate writer ponders what's on Jesus' iPod?

luna_k's love meme is still going strong. *smooches to everyone who's played*

Thought of the night: In several of the comments about me in the love meme, people mentioned my fic rec list. (Yay!) For my lists, I read or attempt to read a hell of a lot of fanfic, but unless I've friended your journal, the only way I know about your fic is if it's been pimped somewhere or was part of a ficathon that I read the entire masterlist. Personally, I *love* discovering new (or new-to-me) authors that make me giddy with good fic. So don't be trigger shy at self-pimping in communities that allow such a thing, such as hyperion_lobby, any other communities for specific pairings, genres, or characters, or self-loading archives. (This, of course, also applies to the authors that I know and love because other people should be reading your fic too.)

So I'm on the phone with Tony, and he's a big dork. He apparently thought that the poll feature on lj was so nifty that he wanted me to do more polling.

Candy and Evan are over and we're watching Better Off Dead. John Cusack is the man. I'm also working on my book report. I hope what I'm writing is what the teacher wants.
I'm suppose to do some sort of psychological experiment for psychology. Any suggestions on what I should do?
