We's BFFs. I noes this cuz Troy sed so.

::nods srsly::

For those of you familiar with oxoniensis's Porn Battles, jenab is running a Het Porn Battle along the same lines and is looking for prompts here. The prompts submission process closes today, but there are no Primeval or Dark Angel prompts yet!

This is bad and wrong. So if anyone does have any inspiration, go along and submit some prompts and we'll see if we can get fic out of it.

Things that suck:

- my tennis elbow is now officially in 'flared up' mode rather than 'temp blip' mode so plz excuse typos. Am typing one handed and not for fun reasons, narf!

- cortisone injections. When I volunteer for needles, you know the suck is bad

- the first acupuncture session. I know it will work in the long term but in the short term... ow

- the upset stomach that comes with painkillers of extraordinary strength

- not being able to write when I wanna ::pout::

Things that don't suck:

- painkillers of extraordinary strength, even if they only take the edge off

- being told by the doc I'd done everything I could and it was just going to happen. Still kind of sucky but not moronic sucky.

- the love meme, which made the suck much less. I don't know the etiquette in these things, having never done one before, so I don't know if I'm supposed to reply to the lovely comments left for me but you guys! ♥ It made me feel so much better!

- Andrew in eyeliner. mroawr

- going to see fish today, even though will not choose because Nibble will not be with me. Fish!

- going to Claire's today for food and fun. Claire!

Things that are meh:

- want fic about Connor in eyeliner and no one has written any

- want fic about Connor in eyeliner and no one has written any!

People are slacking, damn it! If I can't write it at the moment, someone else totally should!

My tennis elbow has really flared up ::pout:: So I'm rather sore and back on the heavy duty painkillers. And feeling sorry for myself.

So have some memes. Maybe it will help take my mind off the ouch!

From toscas_kiss - name a character from one of my fandoms, and I'll give you either:

(a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon,
(b) a reason he/she sucks,
(c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes,
(d) five things that never happened to that character, or
(e) five people that character never fell in love with and why.

*

And stolen from akire_yta, the love meme. I never do these things because I'm usually convinced I'll be met with a resounding silence ::g:: But, hey, nothing ventured and all that jazz.

the i♥you because meme: love me here

In other news, I'm rather fond of this new userpic ::g:: It came out very Gainsborough - the studio, not the painter. Yes, I was a weird child who used to spend my formative years watching very old movies. So what else is new?

Technically speaking, they should have closed yesterday, but I'm waiting for one participant to come back to me with a revised prompt :) I won't be able to start matching assignments up until that happens.

Plus, there are 13 sign ups (12 on LJ and 1 on the new IJ mirror community, also called Primevalathon).

So, if you do know of anyone who said, 'Darn. I missed the deadline!' please let them know that they have a couple of days grace. I'll mark the actual sign up entry in bold at the top when I'm ready to start matching prompts and no longer accepting late entries. And, hey, we may not end up with thirteen ::g::

Sign ups are here.

Just a reminder that the Primeval Ficathon Sign Ups close at midnight on Sunday.

That means that you have all weekend to think of your prompts but of course you won't need that long. I'm sure you'll all come up with something fabulous.

We're doing it again. Which means you're all signing up again, right?

Go forth and pimp, my pretties. Fly! Fly!

ETA: Okay, have posted it to connorandabby, primeval_fanfic and primeval_itv, which are the only relevant communities I'm a member of on LJ, and aithine has posted to anomalies on IJ as well.

But there are communities out there that are relevant but of which neither of us are members, so the pimping point remains ::g::

This recipe is one of my favourites from Rose Elliot's Christmas Recipe book, which seems to have been reprinted and can be found here.

Yes, it is 4am again, but at least I've had some sleep - I collapsed at about 7.30pm.
