I just got home from a family birthday celebration... this is late for me, LOL!

SO I'M GOING TO MEME NOW!

Wow, I haven't done this in ages!

For anyone who is new, let me explain what this is. I have a website called BrianJustinLove.com, and this is a little chart showing where in the world the most recent site visitors came from. Is your country there?

Now that we've had the "big reveal" in the Weather/Vacation challenge at qaf_challenges , be sure to check out the fic called "Snow and Shadow" by Thyme.... it's about Brian, Justin, Gus and a kitten... and a snow storm! Just adorable.

It's in multiple chapters, but each one links along from the previous one.

Snow and Shadow, by Thyme

I noticed that I had quite a lot of QAF fic related to the holiday season, which I'm defining as Halloween through New Year's Day. I decided to create a master list to link to from my fic index page. Nothing new here. :)

Announcing the new challenge theme... Friends and Lovers.

Thanks to bksbracelet, who suggested the theme! If you have any theme suggestions, just leave a comment HERE on IJ, or HERE on LJ.

This challenge will also be open to graphics makers (icons, banners, wallpapers or colourbars are accepted) and vidders!

Sign-ups close on November 16 and submissions are due on December 13.

If you'd like to sign up, please leave a comment!

This was my entry to the "Weather/Vacation" challenge at qaf_challenges. It was beta'd by testdog65, and it's about a very, very hot post-513 day in Pittsburgh.

If pool!sex offends you, definitely don't read it. And if you like it, I'd love to hear from you! I've had a long horrible year and getting back to writing has been a wonderful feeling... knowing you're reading makes it better!

Original post and comments here.

Dumpling!

I have started capping Trueblood season 1 and have decided to share the links with my friends list.

I have episodes 1 and 2 done so far, and will be finishing up the rest in the next couple days, I hope. Please feel free to download them using the links provided.

They are RAR files so you will need winrar to download them.

The authors in the Weather/Vacation Challenge have now been revealed! I'll post a full list of writers and links to their stories under the cut, and this post will also be put in the memories here for future reference.

The authors are now free to reply to comments on their fic, and cross post them if they wish. To encourage more readers and writers, a link back to qaf_challenges when you do this would be much appreciated!

I'll be announcing a new challenge soon and I'd love to get lots of sign-ups, so spread the word!

I am working on the next couple of chapters of "Directions," and I was wondering if some lovely British fangirl could tell me -- is there a typical time that a university would be closed for the Christmas season? Or would it vary from school to school?

Thanks so much!

I'm screen capping Trueblood season one. I'm going to upload it to Megaupload when I'm done. Let me know if you are interested in the links. I will post them here if you are.

Challenge #139 is closed.


Justin wins this condom battle!

Challenge #140: Season Five

Condom Battle: Your choice of characters.

Guest Mods.
faile02, besamislabios and I had a fun idea. How about if we have guest hosts until the end of the year.

If you're interested in changing the drabble prompts one week until the end of the year, comment in this post and I'll assign you a week.

And we'll be available to answer questions but you get to chose the prompt and post it and we can have an open battle and see who has the most condoms at the end.

Thoughts? Questions? Wanna sign up?

Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll!

From the results, and the comments, I've decided to keep the challenges anonymous at this time. In order to make this strategy as effective as possible I'd like to ask that in future challenges authors do not name their betas when thanking them. Please save that for when you cross-post.

Also, I'm going to hold a yearly amnesty. Authors can submit fics they may have started for a challenge but ran out of time and didn't finish, or people can choose one of the past themes to write for. It will be like an annual Second Chance Challenge.

I'd like to run a new theme next, so the amnesty will take place after the next challenge. Speaking of which, due to popular demand I'm opening the next challenge up to graphics makers and vidders.

I'll also continue to post to both IJ and LJ at this time.

All assignments have been sent out.
Please let me know if you didn't received yours or have any questions.

We have 31 participants this round, so there's a lot to look forward to. Thank you all, you're fantastic :)

So it sounds like most people are game for moving the marathon to Sunday the 8th of November this week. I was thinking, same time-so 8pm CET (2pm East Coast/11am West Coast). I look forward to seeing everyone there!

I was busy with something else these last few days.... ;)

Coming soon!

"I was hoping you would find me."

And while I am posting: "That's not love. that's hate."

I'm taking a chance on love.

And and oldy but a goody as I clicked to post --

He's so old!

Here are the banners that I made. I thought I posted all the icons and the banners. I think it was revealed around the same time that mom had her surgery, and posting probably slipped my mind.
