Pimp:qaf_giftxchnge is open now for sign-ups! Wheee! I debated long, hard, and deep into the night on whether to sign up, mostly because my life = one unending spiral of no-free-time, and also because I don't think I've written word one of fanfic since Blogathon in July. But I finally decided that this would be the impetus I need to carry on the rush of Nanowrimo into December. So YAY! ohfreckle, thank you in advance for all of the hard work you are going to be doing to set up and run this special treat.
A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to mdlaw, for being one of the sweetest and most generous people in fandom. When I started talking about scrapbooking, she offered to send me what I thought would be a little sampler of goodies to whet my whistle. Instead, I got a TRUCKLOAD of papers, cardstock, rub-ons and stickers, vellum (which I do not know how to use, sorry!), and so much more.
You cannot even SEE the vast majority of the paper/cardstock in that photo. Thank you again, M, for such a lovely gift!
I had eight billion other things to say, but then I got distracted watching The 13th Warrior on TV while I ate my dinner. So instead, I'm going to go read the scrapbooking magazine I bought today (it's an addiction, it's not my fault -- and btw, thanks for the rec, mmorpheusq!) and then collapse in bed. .
qaf_faves -- a new fanfic/fanvid rec community -- is now open for business.
Why another rec community?
Why indeed.
Well, this was originally going to be a "feature" in this journal. But with one QaF fic rec journal seemingly on hiatus and another moved away from LJ -- along some disappointment that my particular favourites were rarely recced by either of them! -- it occurred to me that maybe a community was the way to go. Then I spoke to ayesakara about it and she was enthusiastic about coming on board. She suggested adding favourite fanvids to the mix.
So here we go.
Recs will go up every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Check the comm for more info!
