Arctic Light

xparrot and gnine visited here for a couple of days, which was wonderful! Fangirling, so much fangirling. :) I'm not used to being able to talk to people in real life about things like fanfic, plus they know SO MANY of the same people that I do in nerdy/fandom/convention circles; it was great. And we got to show them our rural-redneck property and took walks in the woods and stayed up much too late.

Stuff that's sitting in my open tabs:

This is apparently going to be the last year for sga_santa, the Stargate Atlantis gift-fic exchange. I participated in this one for most of the time I was in SGA fandom, I think -- at least 3 or 4 years. They've been going for 10 years now (wow!) and have decided to close up shop, but they are opening sign-ups early to try to get the most possible participants for their last exchange. So, if you are still in the fandom or might want to dip back into it, think about signing up! I had a lot of fun the years that I did it.

I also just ran across a notification for trickortreatex, which is a Halloween multifandom gift exchange for little fics (300 word minimum) like a Halloween treat bag. It looks like right now they are taking nominations for fandoms/characters, and signups will be a little later. They also accept original fiction requests/offers, and large or small fandoms are welcome.

New Kismet page!

Also, this Captain America: Winter Soldier image set on Tumblr is highly relevant to my (h/c-ish) interests; I don't know why it hits my happy buttons so hard, but it really does.
