post of linkage and random!!

Seriously, I've been saving things up to post about, and haven't had the chance, so tonight I'm gonna dump a few on yall instead of ranting about OMFG I HATE MY JOB SO FUCKING MUCH. Cool? Cool.

First off, the top of my happy list, if I were to make one, would be chaeldub. *snuggles* Thank you for finally checking in; I was worried about you.

Tangently related, I'm sure most of you have already seen this, but there is now a community -- australia_aid -- which is "intended to be a gathering place for anyone who is offering crafts, fic or anything else via auction or simple sale, in return for donations to assist those displaced by the brushfires in Australia."

I know a lot of you are watching hp10k_showcase, but two of the awareness posts that caught my attention were the post on Mental Health Awareness and the post on National Bone Marrow Registry. All the posts over there are worth checking out; there is basic information and links for several subjects.

I know I haven't written anything that wasn't bandom in a while, but I still love other things. Including Wincest and J2. For all of you who also love these things, did you know that _sin_attract has an archive for those stories? Sinful Desire is an archive for J2 and Wincest, so if you're an author looking for somewhere off-LJ to post your stories or if you're looking for something awesome to read, go check it out! (Yes, I do have a few stories posted over there.)

Speaking of stories I've written... I was nominated for an OWL Award for my Chocolate Draco story! (which I had to go back and reread when I found out, b/c I didn't remember the kisses in that being all that memorable? But it was nominated in the Best Snog category anyways!) There are a LOT of awesome Harry Potter fics nominated this year. You do have to be a registered member of OWL/Tauri and must be logged in to vote. THE BALLOT IS HERE. Voting is open until the 6th of March. That gives me plenty of time to read some of the fics I've missed and cast my votes; you should too!

MEMES!

Pick 10 people and give them the "you make my day" award. If you're picked, you are charged with picking 10 of your own. If you wanna do it, go for it!

bicrim: I love your perspective on things, your willingness to stand your ground, and the love you have for your boys.
ccmom: another mommy! your txts always make me smile, and I like that we can talk about kids and life and whatnot even though we don't share a lot of fandom right now.
trackscovered: You are adorable, and I love to laugh with you at the crazy shit you do.
gelsey: You are such a warm, friendly person, and you keep providing me with positive thoughts even though I know you're going through a rough patch of your own.
lilian_cho: I'm not gonna lie, I just keep you around for your OCD habit of tagging my entries for me! :P Just kidding. I love your unique way of looking at things and the vast amounts of creativity you have and RIVER!
casualyobsessed: Best little sister EVER.
fangs_up1: b/c I know you'll get jealous if I don't put you. And yeah, I'm probably making fun of you. <3
shutyourface: I know we haven't been friends long, but I LOVE YOU and I don't think a day has gone by in a long time that you haven't made me smile.
phaballa: You love me even though I like Ryro. :)
gossymer: we don't talk very often at all, but since I stole my layout and my profile codes from you, plus I use icons you made, I'm reminded of you and your awesomeness EVERY DAY.

To the rest of my flist: *massive hugs* I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! EVERY DAY YOU GIVE ME A REASON TO SMILE, A REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE DAY ISN'T A TOTAL LOSS EVEN WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING WRONG. *LOVES*

And gelsey did this other meme.

1. Bandom
2. Fun text messaging
3. Your cute kids
4. A sucky job (much like mine)
5. Dresden Files, baby
