The first dark_fest comment fic meme is here!

So excited!! I love dark_fest :). Please prompt, fill, and promote! Also, what do you all think of the banners? I haven't done any graphics in absolutely ages, so thought it'd be fun to have a play on PSP again!

So I haven't been on LJ for about 6 months... sorry about that guys! Although looking a my flist, it seems a lot of others have stopped posting too. Sad times.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Sunday I helped kproflostsouls across the street (6 points). Last month I put money in stolensmile14's expired parking meter (14 points). In March I gave lilithisbitter a kidney (1000 points). In April I pulled over and changed gibbous's flat tire (15 points). Last Saturday I turned smthwallflower in for tearing the tag off a mattress (3 points). Overall, I've been nice (1038 points). For Christmas I deserve a shiny red ball! Sincerely, sazz_k

You'll probably see a lot of these kinds of posts in the next few days, but please can I ask that anyone commenting on my journal (including on f-locked posts) please not repost on Facebook or Twitter?

There's an almighty furora about the lack of opt-out on this new repost feature, because comments on a Real Life Facebook or Twitter account might give away people's more anonymous fandom identities.

I use this livejournal account for fandom only and don't want it associated with my Real Life facebook or any other account.

(Please repost this type message to your own account if necessary! Fight the man!)

EDIT: AND NOW TAGS WITH A "/" IN DON'T FUCKING WORK! WHAT THE FUCK, LJ?? DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MANY PEOPLE AND COMMS USE FORWARD SLASHES?

Fucking hell, my paid time is up soon and I'm not sure if I'm going to renew it. I AM NOT PAYING FOR THIS BULLSHIT, LJ.

Here's how it works:

WHAT NATIONALITY AM I?

( Nationality Meme )

So I've succumbed to that meme. Blame werepuppyblack, I wouldn't have seen it if wasn't for her :P

Pick a letter and a corresponding word, then name a character, a set of characters, or a pairing. In exchange, I'll write you at least one hundred (100) words of fic! If someone's already claimed a letter, then please pick another.

...I really want to do this fic meme. You know, as if I didn't have another one I still haven't finished, plus fanfic100 and 10_titles...

I'm an idiot. Someone stop me...

"The torch of piety, that is, as weilded by Shell, the Apostle Emperor. Younger brother of Elphaba and Nessarose. He swore he was divinely positioned by the Unnamed God. For all I know he is his, he is his-" She nearly gagged at the thought, and rotated her hand in the air, a forward roll. "He is history."
