9:11PM - Question

Do we know when Michael started at The Big Q? Am I forgetting something obvious?

8:05PM - Random stuff

I've been crazy busy this weekend with all kinds of family stuff but I kept sneaking away and checking in on fandom on my phone. Looks like lots of good stuff has been going on and hopefully I'll have time to catch up this week. I'm especially happy to see all the drabbles!

I've been waiting to find out the release date of my first original fic at Torquere Press and I finally got the email today. July 21st 2010... I was expecting it to be sometime after the first of the year but I was shocked that I will have to wait that long.

8:16PM - I'm more than a little excited!!!

I just found out that Torquere Press accepted my first original fic for publication as a single-shot novella!

7:10PM - Where did the weekend go?

I spent the day yesterday checking out all the entries for The Fall Contest and today reading the Weather/Vacation fics at qaf_challenges. Not a bad weekend!

I'm having a particularly good time guessing who wrote what at qaf_challenges. Probably because for once I think I actually know who wrote a few of the fics :) How is your guessing going?

9:15PM - Fic Meme from _alicesprings

I'd like you to rec five fics, one in each category. It doesn't have to be your absolute fave (who can narrow it down?!) but just a really good fic for each category.

8:15PM

As I've mentioned before, my husband would rather I stopped talking about QAF, but now and then when I'm really stuck on a story I try to convince him to help me brainstorm.

I'm desperate for an idea for the weather/vacation challenge and this is what he came up with:

1. Justin's boyfriend dumps him so he decides to get away to Hawaii. When he gets there his ex is staying at the same hotel with his new boyfriend. Justin is depressed but he is cheered up by Brian, the hot helpful guy that works behind the front desk. (This is the plot to Forgetting Sarah Marshall for anyone who hasn't seen it)

2. Justin goes on vacation to visit his eccentric storm chaser uncle and somehow gets trapped in a balloon that floats away. Brian tracks the balloon, saves Justin and they fall in love.

I'm not sure if his plan is to give me the worst possible ideas so I stop asking OR if maybe he is a bad!fic genius!

2:21PM - QAF MEME

I've been tagged by outlander!

LIST THREE TO FIVE WAYS THAT ETHAN IS BAD FOR JUSTIN.

1. HE CHEATS! And he lies! I don't even see a need for two more reasons after that.

2. He wants to hide their relationship.

3. He cares about himself WAY more than he cares about Justin.

I tag ahaw9913, 4cupcakes and jule1122.

2:50PM - Squeaky loves us!

Yesterday I asked squeaky for more slots to track posts and today he posted THIS! Talk about making my day :D

2:48PM - Really more of a note for me...

I've been stressed out this week which always makes me fall back into the bad habit of lurking. Then I feel guilty about lurking which only stresses me out more. I haven't even started to check out the Hot, Wet and Steamy entries... but I promise comments and no more lurking when I do.
