    Recs Collection Post
    This year [info]snarry_holidays will be collecting links to send into the HP newsletter, the [info]daily_snitch, for both Hot Art and Hot Recs. Fic and art need three recs to qualify (can be posted on IJ, LJ, DW, or JF) and must not be locked. If you see or make any recs for any of this round's gifts, please leave them in the comments on this post. The mods will be on the lookout, too, but we might miss something!

    Thanks for your help!

    IT'S TIME: SNARRY HOLIDAYS STARTS TODAY!
    For many people it's a stressful (if lovely) time of year, and [info]snarry_holidays is ready to insert that special bit of Snarry into your holiday season. ;-) We'll kick start our posting tonight at 9pm EST, so please stick around if you can!

    Some notes before we begin:


    -- We will start posting today (yay!) December 1, and posting will run until December 23. [info]snarry_holidays will be posting this year at InsaneJournal, LiveJournal, and Dreamwidth. You may comment to any of the sites, though commenting on IJ is encouraged, if possible.

    -- With around 60 submissions, we will be posting an average of two gifts per day (a mix of fic and art, of course) with several days of three gifts. We will do our best to space out long fics so that everyone doesn't become too overwhelmed.

    -- If you are participating and you have an extension, please keep us updated and get your gift to us ASAP. If we have not heard from you at all, you might be in trouble! *waves modly stick*

    -- Thanks so much to [info]elethian, who has agreed to help us proofread!

    -- Please remember that feedback and comments are very much encouraged. That being said, please attempt to keep your comments cordial. We know people have strong feelings about Snarry and writing, fic and art, but please play nicely (i.e. no flaming, say something constructive). If you have any questions about what this might constitute, email us at snarryholiday [at] gmail [dot] com. We'll be reading all the comments.

    -- We're going to be collecting recs for [info]daily_snitch, so please send us links to your fic and art recs! We're collecting the recs at this post, on IJ. Fic and art need three recs (not locked) to qualify.

    -- Please spread the word!

    We hope everyone enjoys the all the lovely Snarry coming in the next few weeks! Thanks to all the hard work on behalf of the participants!

    Fic! I posted fic!
    [info]accioslash requested that I save Thicker Than Water for [info]santas_lap, since that fest wasn't getting a lot of love this year, so I've made it my first entry into the fest. Finally, my LLM fic is delivered only 11 months late. Please heed the warnings!

    In other news, anyone wanting stuff from Antemortem Arts or my Etsy shop can mention this post and get 20% off through tomorrow (as a refund).

    But really, I POSTED FIC!

    Twilight =/= Crimial Minds. Really.
    As seen in a Morgan/Reid comm...

    ...because I'm a little obsessed with New Moon at the moment...

    Then, honestly, go look for Twilight comms. Because Reid doesn't even know what Twilight is (a canon fact that I heart totally) and I'd prefer to keep it that way.

    Santa Claus is Coming Out.

    Santa and Geppetto! Who knew?

    Delaying posting till Dec 1
    Hi everyone!

    Because so many people are in transit this weekend and we're still putting together our posting schedule, we're going to delay posting until the evening of Dec 1. Sorry for any inconveniences! We can't wait to get things started, and hope you all enjoy the fest!

    Best,

    This and That
    * Hope all who celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful time spent with family and friends.

    * The Girl Child went to the Black Friday sales this morning. At 4:49, while I was doing some serious sleeping, she texted. Scared me to death. Why did she text at that unholy hour, you ask... because she spotted John Travolta at the mall. Jesus. She's a freak.

    * The Boy Child had to work today - so no shopping for him. Instead, he gave the Girl a list and his debit card. He gave his sister his fucking debit card. When she was going to a mall. The boy is an idiot. Honestly.

    * It's chilly here in the Sunshine State tonight. Lovely thing, that. Right along with the Criminal Minds marathon on A&E.

    * And, on a Criminal Minds note, this week's episode killed me. Dead. *pets the CM team*

    Um, WTF?
    HPFandom.net... account suspended... any information to be had?

    Per darlinggirl1263 on LJ: The account was suspended for "excessive CPU usage". The mod is working to get things back up and running. We'll just have to wait it out.

    ETA: Had a couple of people asking for an older fic - meaning the ones I have not tagged here on IJ yet - so, I figured I'd just link you my LJ tags.

    Jesus. I gotta make myself get those old tags done. I mean, it has only been two and one-half years, right? *hates that kind of stuff*

    Vanilla and Kinky and Lifestyle! Oh, my!
    To be honest, I hadn't intended on posting anymore about BDSM. Not outside of fic, anyway. But someone asked the difference between kinky sex and Lifestyle. And the answers to this are endless. Especially if you try to use nothing but serious, technical type jargon.

    Good thing we all know I'm not so great with sticking to the technical, huh?

    So, let's look at this like a bowl of ice cream. Because, really, who doesn't like ice cream? )

    Sunday Meanderings
    In the form of a list!
    • Deadline to sign up for a holiday card from me is December 7 -- that's when the art supply place claims it will deliver my blank cards, heh.

    • I launched my fine art site and totally forgot to tell y'all -- Antemortem Arts is open, and I've even put stuff in my Etsy shop.

    • I have exactly 3 pieces of fan art left to do, and then those commitments are fulfilled. Since they're all due for Xmas (2 HP Holiday Card Exchange cards, and my own HP Xmas card), I'll be all done by the end of the year. Weird!

    • I found betas for [info]accioslash's LLM fic, and it will be posting in [info]santas_lap along with the Sirius/Neville I still have to finish, oops.

    • I've been making some quiet writing progress on various things, including a certain person's incredibly belated prize fic (one more scene and it's done!), a chapter of the no-longer-New Thing that I probably ought to post to [info]swtalmnd_nano, and little dribs and drabs to my other three WiPs that aren't for any fest or person or anything.

    • Coconut Cocoa Tea ftw.

    Hi! My name is Minxie…
    …and I'm a submissive. As in, a contracted and collared sub to my husband, Matt. D/s, BDSM, leather, lifestyle, call it what you will. It is what it is.

    Originally, I intended to post something like an introduction because, as my fandoms branch out, there are new people on my flist. And I tend to be loud and opinionated when it comes to head exploding kink fics. Figured offering some insight to me might help explain the tangent rants I sometimes have. Along with the fact that most, if not all, of my fics have some display of power dynamics, no matter how subtle.

    I'm sure those of you who know me best find that to be an understatement. Heh.

    This has morphed, through conversations with friends, into not only a hey, this is me post, but also one that, for lack of tact on my part, is a whoa! let's think about this before you write it post. Mainly because BDSM comes under enough fire without having misleading works of fiction floating around out there stirring up more trouble than they're worth.

    And, honestly, not trying to be a bitch, but if a piece of fiction disregards the basic principles of safe, sane, and consensual they really are more trouble than they're worth. They set a stage for others, those not in the scene, that can lead to misunderstandings, arguments, and, most important, serious injury.

    Not cool.

    Not when it takes just a few lines of dialogue, or even implied conversation to lend believability and credibility to the work.

    To that end, I've started a list. Which is actually quite funny seeing as I despise lists. )

    Got questions? Ask 'em. I'd rather you ask me something embarrassing than you make my head go splodey in the next fic I run across.

    * * *


    Whoa! Additional Lifestyle discussions taking place...

    [info]irana is talking about consent, SSC, and RACK. You can read that post here.

    [info]snapesgirl_62 is talking about polyamory. You can read that post here.

    Watching an old Las Vegas rerun and, low and behold, Hal Sparks is guesting on the episode. As a relationship adviser.

    Oh, Michael!

    Mini-Commisions: Twice the Snarry, Twice the Fluff!
    Aaand, belatedly, we have the last of the mini-commissions! RL trickled down to screw up my past few weeks, so they took longer than intended, but they're ready go go out with tomorrow's mail. All of my commissions lists are officially closed at the moment, as of this posting. Whee!
