I stapled my finger, while repairing the stapler (so Elder Son could create something out of the recycling). Ow ow ow. Also, I can't get The Glory of Love out of my head.

LJ has not managed to figure out why I still cannot load certain journals, although someone has asked some relevant questions and, I hope, gone away to think about it.

Two years ago we were in Finland in early June. I had work stuff until at least 6 each night, but it was so light that we could still do all kinds of walking, climbing and sight-seeing after supper. The cathedral in Helsinki stays open until midnight in midsummer. For some reason, this year seems to be lighter than usual here, in these longest days.

Aftermath won Best Short in the Mystical Orgins Corner in Round 8 at the Fang Fetish Awards (some time ago, but I forgot) and has been nominated for Best of Rare Male Slash Pairings in Round 9. Thanks to whoever keeps putting it forward! :)

Battlestar Galactica season 4! Yowza! I am having a ball this week talking meta with madame_meretrix, at possibly excessive length, and now feel the need to spend the evening wandering around looking for new icons. Speaking of icons, ubiquirk made me this Torchwood one! Yummy, no? Thanks, Ubi!

Two more papers have appeared in print. This is good, but I now have nothing in the pipeline. (Hence, my evening would be better spent not looking for icons... but I have Very Little Brain at the moment.)

What am I going to write for the lynnevitational?

Thanks and hugs to whichever kind people nominated and voted for some of my babies. :)

( I won stuff! )

I'm rather overwhelmed! :)



Five Christmases Spike'll Never Forget is nominated for the Temptation Award (best short, finished piece.) Resurgens is listed for the Hidden Rubies Award (most moving fragment from a fic, like one chapter you read over and over again, or a moving ficlet).

Aftermath has been nominated in both the Delectation Award (best gen, or no pairing) category, and the Dark Kitty Award (best fic featuring Xander as a major character, any pairing or gen but not Spander.) I'm quite touched that someone saw fit to suggest it.

And I was nominated for the Delight Award, for best reader. That's so lovely! though if there's any justice the also-nominated cordelianne should win. Her comments always blow me away, and not infrequently improve my reading/enjoyment of a fic by pointing out subtleties I hadn't noticed (due to my "ooh look, Spike and Xander are kissing!" frame of mind. *g*)

apreludetoanend was kind enough to point out to me a couple of nominations that I hadn't been notified about (wonder how she knew? hmm? ;)



At the White Knight Awards, Dies Irae has been nominated in the "Bad-Ass Vamp" category, O magnum mysterium is in the "Short Fic" category, Animal made the "Viking in the Sack" category, Near Wild Heaven is nominated in the "Slash Pairing" category, and I'm in the "New Author" category. Whew!



And at the Fang Fetish Awards, Five Christmases Spike'll Never Forget is entered in the Fang Fetish Challenge category, and Resurgens is nominated for "Best Short".

Thank you, so very much, to whoever thought these were worth nominating and took the time and effort to do so. It's inspired me to go out and nominate a few of my favourite authors and fics. Spread the love! *g*
