Re. Sponsored communities, this is what bradfitz had to say yesterday:

Love 'em, hate 'em, or really hate 'em..... sponsored communities aren't going away.

we're reading your comments, we're listening to what you have to say, and we're changing things based on your feedback.

So I guess that's sort of good news? If you want to keep up, go friend lj_biz 'cos they've been writing tons of posts. One that goes into fandom worries here and one about sponsored guidelines here. There's plenty more if you want to look them up!

In completely unrelated news The Cherub took her first steps yesterday! So cute! And getting so big...

Many birthdays:

Happy Birthday to superplin (sorry I'm a day late!), missmurchison and speakr2customrs. May you all have fabulous days! *hugs*

Love is...

Spike and Angel’s love is like a teddy bear. They found it unexpectedly - all fluffy and new - many, many years ago. But being at that tender and cruel age when teddy bears are seen as the province of sissies and girls, they set about destroying it - tearing off its bow, shaving the fur, poking out an eye... and finally leaving it outside in the harsh weather, where it became soggy with rain and covered in mud.

When the two of them parted, the bear was stowed away in chest; torn, dingy and ignored.

Then one day they met again - much older, wiser and bleaker - and slowly began looking through the chest. Right at the bottom they found the teddy bear and at first they just put it back, uncertain and a bit abashed. Love is supposed to be a thing of beauty, right? But as time went on they thought that maybe they ought to do something a little more... so they cleaned and restored it as best they could, its blemishes rendering it more precious than they knew how to explain.

Now it sits on a shelf in a quiet corner - not hidden, nor on show. And never forgotten.

Yesterday I suddenly realised that I’d left out 1/3 of the love stories, and began wondering what would fit S/A. This was the result. I hope you like - I’m going to add it to the original post so they’re all together.:)
