Two very good things just happened to me, although I suppose one of them wasn't personal or anything.

( What, you may ask? Well... )

Because I'm interested in the sorts of things, I decided to do a breakdown of my fanfic: both stats like word count and number of this and that, and the kind of methods/tenses/POVs I use.

( BREAK IT DOWN NOW )

This actually isn't terribly fandom-related, and probably not that interesting, but if you want to know a little about my RL friends, here's your chance.

( Onward, my stalkers )

So I'm slowly but kind of not so much surely going through my fics to judge for the Absence of Light Awards...

( Greaaaat story! Tell iiiiit again! )

I've been wondering about this for a while, and want to know what you think about it.

( And you're going to follow the link because YOU LOVE POLLS )

kinda_gay_award AKA the Kinda Gay Awards are for BtVS femslash - because we all love the girl-on-girl action. Noms open April 20, it's run by those lovely queens of community-running, snowpuppies and velvetwhip, and it should be great. Mostly because I'm going to be a judge. ^-^

If you'd like to help out, you can be a judge, pimp the site, or nominate once nominations are open - leave a comment here to notify the team.

And remember that awards are what makes fandoms great - it's important to spread the love. Plus, they're fun! :P

It's a different version of my previous layout, with a new header quote and color scheme. I wasn't sure if I'd like the pale background, but so far I think I'm a fan.

Also, my profile has been changed and fudged with. I think it looks rather nice.

In other news, I think I'm going to start making a masterlist. I don't particularly need one now, with my 11 pieces of fan fic, but I figure it's better to set it up while I don't have like 5346943. Which is probably never going to happen, LOL, but I am lazy and would consider anything much higher than 11 too much of a bother to deal with.

I'm going to have to go spy on some masterlists of people I know to get formatting ideas. It should be fun. XD

What do you think? Good idea or not? You probably aren't going to change my mind, but I'd like to know what you think anyways.

You should definitely all go and vote for Spike in the Final Four of Fandom Steel Cage Match, because if you do, he could be voted best character evar!1!

AND IF YOU DON'T, FRIGGING DEAN FROM SUPERNATURAL WILL WIN. WHAT THE FUCK. THAT SHOW DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY GIRLS.

LOL, not that I have fandom hate. I really don't.

But seriously! They actually have to genderswap if they want femslash!

ALSO: VOTE FOR BARNEY FROM HIMYM BECAUSE HE IS PLAYED BY NPH AND WE ALL LOVE NPH. OR POSSIBLY BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY WATCH HIMYM.

I'm a judge at the new BtVS angst/dark awards site, Absence of Light. It looks like it will be pretty excellent - so offer help either with judging or banners if you can!

If you can't, please spread the love with nominations - they make you feel better even as they do the same for the nommed authors. All it takes is a few clicks and keystrokes, and you'll have done your part to help keep the fandom alive and recognized!

These are all the fandom-related things I have to do by a certain date. It's really just so I have all the dates staring at my face in one place; and I don't imagine it will be interesting to anyone else. Please scroll/click on by.

( But if you insist on stalking me, go ahead, my friends )
