for the most sensitive among us the noise can be too much.

Because I got my stories mixed up yesterday, let's do this the right way!

rhiannonhero writes in this Ethan universe from ATWT. Ethan is Luke's little brother. Now that you know that -- you can read her latest fic! Yay! But you didn't really have to know that. You can read them as OCs. What are you waiting for? Check out Worth the Risk right over here.

And there's a follow-up in that universe that's kind of a flashback called Soon We'll Be Swimming. No spoilers but it's pretty damn amazing and I cried buckets of tears. Realism people. Realism. I can do a full essay on it so I'll shut up now. Just go read!

I guess I just needed to take a little break from it before I wanted to start posting again. The break that I took wasn't even that long. It was probably all of last week and this weekend. But, I'm back in action and as my first priority in this little place we like to call fandom, I'm pimping.

Now we all heard this terrible rumor about fandom's demise, did we not? I remember I posted this fabulous (if I do say so myself) discussion about pet peeves in fanfic It was really more of a general thing but since I have the Qaf love, a lot of Qaf people chimed in. So, I know you guys exist and want to see fandom chugging on as we've been doing for ages and ages just like I do. All of that said ... there are still challenges and fun, wonderful things for fandom that need more participation (from viewers like you).

Remember that? We have some great fandom things to look forward to but especially during the holidays when everyone (mostly everyone) is feeling warm and fuzzy anyway. Don't you want to have someone gift you something? Don't you want to wake up and find that you have something fandom related in a community just waiting for you to open it?

Sign ups close on October 25th, 2009. That means that I have that much time to ask you to join. Please consider it. Remember how much fun the Valentine thing was?
