1) No NaNoWriMo for me... I think I'll try it in February. The idea of doing anything like that in a month that includes both Thanksgiving AND xmas preparations is just insane.

Anyone wanna join me in Feb 2006?

2) I have something I want an icon of, but I need help because I suck/hate photoshop/etc. Anyone interested in helping me out?

3) May I have Ewan in a kilt for Xmas, please?

4) I'm happy today. Really, truly, not weighed down by grief. I *heart* my coven, and everyone else who has listened to me mope.

5) finally, a meme:

if you have time...
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, either good or bad. I promise not to come after you with a spatula, either way.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.

*hug*

No kidding - does that mean you'll join me in February, then? ;)

So sweet! *smooch*

I remember sitting with you outside on the porch at Mossey Creek, both of us trying to write stories that didn't want to come, and just chatting instead.

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

That was so much fun! It was so nice to just hang out and chat with people who were writing similar things, facing similar issues... And then just talk about *life* instead. :)

[mayflo.livejournal.com]

Ummm, I might be able to help you on the iconisation part *heh*

And answer to your meme...
You were my beta for my failed attempt of my collab fic, an AU VM/OB fic. I really loved how you beta'ed :D Wish that fic saw the light of day. Too bad my partner disappeared and then, so did I :P

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Ooh, thank you! I have a picture I want turned into an icon. Send me an email with your current (email) address in it, please?

Alas, I'm sorry the fic never panned out - it was a good idea. Your wonderful art makes up for it, though! :)

[mayflo.livejournal.com]

My mail addy is hannah_512[at]yahoo.com ;)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

You did the most thorough beta I've ever had. My jaw dropped when I got it back. No one does research for their beta-ees. I've sent several people your way since.

Thank you! I'm glad my efforts were appreciated - I had fun with that one. I like it when people's ideas inspire me to go out and consult other resources.

[alliwantisanelf.livejournal.com]

Hey, I might could join you in February! November just sucks for concentrating on writing something that long. Too much stress.

I feel like I'm just getting to know you, but we seem to share a few predilections for certain kinks! And who can forget the glitter bath bombs???? I love your writing!

(((hugs)))

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'll be sure to remind you in January. :)

Hehehehhe! Thank you, thank you - I'll be sure to send thoughts of fairy dust your way! *hug*

Playing with the Pop-up Kama Sutra book at the slashy retreat.

I'm no graphic artist, but I can hack around in Photoshop well enough to make basic icons, so if I can help just let me know.

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe! That was fun, wasn't it? It's sure become a conversation piece among people who visit our house and head straight for the smut shelf.

Ooh, thanks for the offer! mayflo volunteered too, so I'll inflict my request on her first, if she has time. ;)

[heartofslash.livejournal.com]

What is your icon wish, mistress?

And no, you may noe have Ewan in a kilt for Xmas. I want Ewan in a kilt for Xmas. Or, maybe, we could share...

Is this a Ewan-in-a-kilt icon you want?

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that's a thought... A yummy, tasty, exciting thought even... Of all the many *many* pictures I've saved of Ewan, I think I have over a dozen of him in a kilt. Either he wears kilts a lot, or I just get distracted a lot and I think I need more. Both, probably.

I would be more than willing to share XmasKilt!Ewan with you. Shall we trade off every other week?

I would happily, delightedly, lustfully squee over a kilty Ewan icon, if you wanted to make me one. :)

Ah, sporran love!

[heartofslash.livejournal.com]

You mean, like this one?

It's nigh impossible to make a good Ewankilt icon - I mean, and have all of Ewan in the picture. Tall, slim sort of fella. Doesn't fit well in a square icon. And I tried to find a pic of the kilt with the combat boots, because I love that combo so dearly, but I like the socks'n'sneakers look too.

I think this icon succeedd in featuring the important bits part. THE KILT, dammit!

*sighs*

I don't know if he wears kilts a lot, but he wears them often enough to make me quiver.

Re: Ah, sporran love!

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

*dies*

*looks at icon again*

*squeakingmoaningwhimpering noises*

You're going to KILL me one of these days. The fabric and the shadows and the *almost* hint of naughty bits... *explodes*

Holy fucking christ. Is that really for me? Can I use it? I will worship you forever regardless.

(When I got this in my email, I opened it and just looked and looked and looked at the icon.. before I even *noticed* who it was from!)

You would not believe how many typos were in this on the first go-around. I'm *so* flustered! Giddy!

Re: Ah, sporran love!

[heartofslash.livejournal.com]

Of course you can use it - I made it especially for you! (But I'll want to use it too. I can't not use the kilt.)

(I really wished I could use the whole pic - he has such a great grin in it. But, like I said, the key to successful iconage is to focus on what is important. *total perving on what Ewan might or might not wear under his kilts*)

He's got lovely legs. And one heckuva sporran...

Re: Ah, sporran love!

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

*dance*Bounce*giggle* Yay!!!!!!!!!!
:)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Can I do anyhting for you in return????
*thinks naughtyhopeful thoughts*

Mmmm.... sporran.....

Re: Ah, sporran love!

[heartofslash.livejournal.com]

Ewan. Eric. Desert. Motobikes...

Heh heh heh.

Re: Ah, sporran love!

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

All right. I'm thinking about it. Will start to work ASAP. ;)

[sileya.livejournal.com]

*staring at video on laptop* What the fuck is that?!?

(snort)

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I seem to recall saying that at the retreat, but I can't remember what I was saying it in response to...?

[sileya.livejournal.com]

That Norweigan movie with Viggo fucking the woman in the bed in the desert and the explosion of sand in the background to simulate orgasm.

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Hehehehehe! Well, I'm glad someone remembered something embarrassing of me. ;)

[soar38.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, what is this nano nano thing, sounds like a Mork & Mindy fandom event. :-)

I remember sitting on the grass in the park with you and your hubby and watching a very strange band go by. :-)

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org/). Join me in February?

That was a very odd moment... But a fun afternoon! :)

[soar38.livejournal.com]

Eeep, I'm not sure I want to commit to such a big project just yet, I'll hopefully be starting a new job in the new year. Not to mention coming up with an original idea, because they are original pieces of fiction aren't they? Or were you thinking of writing a fandom novel?

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Well, that does make sense. I'd say to just wait and see how you feel in February and then decide. :)

Dunno what I'll write. I have a few original novel ideas in my head... Not sure what will grab me at the moment though.

[soar38.livejournal.com]

I would like to try something challenging. I'm such a glutton for punishment. LOL

Well at least I have until then to think of some ideas.
