No, this one is nothing like scifibigbang ...it's simple, fun and addicting (well, for me anyways, LOL)

I give you 10fics_10words .

Simply put, you write ten fics in ten words. There is a list of categories (angst, AU, etc.) and you write a fic for it.  Write a set for a pairing, a character, whatever. So go, have fun and let your creative juices flow. 

You never know when one of them sentences will prompt an entire fic. :D :D

( Example in here! )

but most of you probably already knew that. :P

Hi all! I wanted to let you know that I'm starting a new community for icons/graphics for Disney Parks. Join in, spread the word and have fun!  I can't wait to see y'all there!

So I signed up for the AU challenge over at team_sgaand I find myself in need of an Alpha...you know, someone throw ideas at...ask them if what I'm writing makes any sense.   The story is gen...as in not RST, UST or hint of 'ships.  It's a story about Teyla, Shep, Ronon and Rodney set in season 5.  (An AU ending of "Inquisition").  It's going to have CDs, angst, but hopefully a sense of life, happiness and friendship.  Anyway, I'm aiming to have a rough draft done in the next month, so I would have to pick your brain until then.

Anyway, if you can help or are willing to try, drop me a line. Thanks! :D :D

From azure_horizon 

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me: My choice. For you.
This offer has some restrictions and limitations:

- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. Commenter beware!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- No forewarning about what it will be. It may be something on paper; it may be a bit of jewelry; it may be a bit of writing or a set of icons. With luck, it will be a surprise.
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
- Let me know in your comment if you're okay with giving me your mailing address to get your stuff to you.

The catch is that if you sign up for me, you have to make the same offer (your choice of wording/things offered) in your journal as well.

Yeah, I'm nagging encouraging you guys to take a look and make something (fic, icons, etc.) for the folks over at
fandom_stocking

There are a few familiar faces over there (I'm sure there are others, but these are from my limited f-list):

Azure_horizon

Tielan

YappiChick

Also, I think they are still accepting sign-ups, so join in and maybe get yourself some goodies! :D :D

There are plenty of fandoms to choose from with various ships...anything from SGA to Twilight to Iron Man.

My goal is to make something for at least 10 people...so far I'm at 5. Whew! :D :D

The deadline is around Jan 7th so get creative! :D :D

I don't say it enough to the great people out there, who comment on my pic fics or fics or make me killer icons/sigs or write for the RRs or are there when I'm in my chatty moods or have beta read for me or who get me to laugh, but thank you.

Your friendships make me smile and your kindness shows me that, while the world is often a dark place, there are more lights out there than people know.

Thank you! :D :D :D

Are left-handed people smarter?

Yep. According to researcher Alan Searleman, southpaws have higher IQs, solve problems better and enjoy more extensive vocabularies than righties. Lefty cases in point: Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, for starters. Not to mention every U.S. president since 1981, except George Bush.

Take heart, righties: Searleman's study also found that lefties have worse memories than their right-handed peers.

*******

I wouldn't call myself "smarter", but I do see things in a completely different way than most. And I'll go for the vocabulary bit. When I gey annoyed, I start flinging the words around...Babe always says that he can tell how mad I am by counting the syllables in the words I say. LOL

And I completely agree with the memory thing. I know I had a point to go along with it, but I can't remember what it was. ;) ;) Seriously, anyone in the GW thread knows how often I forget to do things *cough* update the RR page or read fanfics *cough* LOL And you would giggle if you saw the "To Do" lists around the house. It's not because I have a lot to do--it's just I won't remember to do any of it.

I think it's totally weird about the presidents...oh well, go Lefties!! :D :D

You know, if you take a step back from the oh no! There's no JT, this season really isn't too terrible...

I am no longer a blonde.

Well, at least on the outside. :D
