Yatzee!

The beginning of summer was a time of many bingos - kink_bingo , hc_bingo  (I actually signed up for hc_bingo , before realizing that my version of hurt/comfort is more 'somebody got an artistically bloody lip/was stuck in wet clothes in the winter, let me comfort them with my body' and less 'body hatred/forced soulbonding/an entire row of werewolf prompts, wft is this uf_bingo?')

But there were two tables that seduced me far, far past my good judgement:

schmoop_bingo :

unexpected date	wedding – first dance	first holiday together	crying	picnic
spooning	love song	fire in the fireplace	boat ride	holiday – different traditions
making love	watching the game	WILD CARD	neck kisses	hot cocoa
lazy Sunday	massage – back rub	movie night	anniversary – first	bad day
baby – feeding	singing	playing matchmaker	stuffed animal	first date

(Minimum 500 words)

and mundane_bingo:

mowing the lawn	drinking a cold beverage on a hot day	lost dry cleaning ticket	Being able to wipe black shit off your face after walking more than 50m outside	Sleeping on the train
bathing	cleaning the kitchen	your cat loves you so much it brings you a nice fresh mousey at breakfast time aren't you delighted?	Where's my bus pass?!	Trapped between an oncoming car on one side and a sheet of ice on the other.
plumbing malfunction	Seeing a Movie	FREE SPACE!	Ordering food over the phone	Catching up on a backlog of administrivia at work
Repairs/handywork	-playing sungka	mad/wild watchings of Jeopardy!!	Walking the dog	picking up trash
Going to the bank	Technology going on the fritz while you are using it	Getting the mail	dealing with cockroaches/ants/mice and rats in the house	Physical/doctor's appointment

(minimum 250 words)

I have NO idea what I'm going to do for my schmoop_bingo  table - I have some ideas, but they're scattered all over. I think I'm actually going to have to print out a copy of my table and write down which prompts I'm bunnied for and see if that makes a choice on which line to do clear.

However, the mundane_bingo line just leaped out at me - horizontal, second down. The last one 'trapped between an oncoming car and a sheet of ice' is totally going to be an In Plain Sight fic, too.

Debating redoing entire icon tagging system. Plus, easier to find fandom specific icons. Minus, no more switching keywords to new fandom. Minus, all prior icons will go to default.

Hello, Newest Addiction

So, Community.

I came at this show in a weird way. I kept running into icons for it on the ljs of people who's opinions I respect and then when the finale aired there was a huge burst of posts regarding it on my flist, so I downloaded the first episode. I watch ten second with the ten and hit 'quit.' And then, months later, decided to give it another try and got hooked.

The Ladies Are Still Badass

First, you should all check out my rec post for Lady Fest '10, because I have a truly epic amount of recs in some awesome fandoms (we've got Doctor Who, IPS, Harry Potter, THE HUNGER GAMES, and some Lilith-from-the-Bible fic, just to name a few).

Then you should head back on over to Lady Fest '10 and write, because the last several pages have many awesome prompts but too few awesome fics.
