if you think we're gonna make it

So far, this work week has been completely maddening. I only took two days off last week; that should not have been enough time for everything to go to hell in a handbasket! Argh.

Fortunately, there is Gerard Way, whose hair is giving me flashbacks to my early days of comic readership. Also, you know, HIS FACE. I cannot deal with it.

In other fabulous news, yuletide fandom nominations are finally open! :D: So excited, so very panicked. (Seriously, if the holidays do not kill me this year, it's going to be pretty miraculous. Three exchanges and maybe a trip to Europe and probably having to write my research paper a month early--right when the exchanges are due! What am I doing oh god.)

I'm waffling a bit on ( my noms this year. )

I guess I'll hold off for a little while and ponder.

While I'm pondering, I suppose I should get back to work. There is much to do . . . plus unexpected fire drills!

that's what they want you to try

And the yuletide spam begins! *g* I will try to keep it to a minimum this year, though, as the composition of my flist has changed so much. But!

I've forgotten my annual exhortation: flist, you should totally sign up for yuletide. It is pretty much my very favorite thing in fandom ever. If you've been living under a fannish rock for the last few years, yuletide is a holiday fanfiction exchange that focuses on "rare" fandoms, which means all the random awesome books and comics and inexplicably ignored tv shows and seriously slashable movies you've always wanted to read fic for. ♥ In the past, participants have proven to be some of the most pleasant, cooperative, enthusiastic fans I've ever come across. Cannot recommend it enough.

Last year, marycrawford posted on Yuletide For Newbies, which has useful links to the FAQ and such. I'm also fond of liviapenn's How Not To Ruin Yuletide, which will hopefully be available again later on.

Anyway, it looks like I need to rethink my nomination list, since it looks like Dykes To Watch Out For and Nautical RPF (pirate femslash, whee) are already taken care of. Hrm.
