Now you see me...

First of all HUGE thanks to everyone who left me feedback yesterday! I'm still on a high... :)

Second, life has a nasty sense of humour, since after writing about Spike and Buffy coping with parenthood, guess whose 5 y.o. started throwing up last night? The poor little thing is still all pale and shaky - so, not going to be around much.

A bit of pimping:

fandom_gives is a great initiative:

[The community] came about as an irony in the wake of Strikethrough '07: What if Livejournal fandom turned the tables around? What if everyone who vowed not to renew their paid account, everyone who swore to give LJ and SixApart no more financial support in the form of extra userpics, or virtual gifts, or more storage - what if all those people took that money and instead donated it to charities for the prevention of child abuse and sexual assault?

I approve.

And then there's of course fanarchive:

A group of fanfic fans is forming to set up a nonprofit organization for collective fannish projects, including building a central fanfic archive.

Go, look, read, support! Fandom is made of win! :)

Finally, just because they're oh so very pretty: Icons by earth_vexer!

ETA: Am I right in thinking that issue 4 comes out tomorrow? Re. s8 I have decided that it is crack!fic - this will allow me to enjoy it as fully as possible. :)

Also - having just re-read it - I feel the need to (re-)pimp morgantree's Spike essay Man, Archetype, Beloved. 'Cause... yeah! That's Spike.

Take care of your little cutie! I hope she recovers quickly ( children do most of the time , leaving us all shaky and pale ).

No wonder your/my fic :) received such a great response , it was beautifully told and I'm still basking today in the warmth I felt reading it ( Spike + poetry to convey his love for Buffy was absolutely brilliant ).

Thanks for the links!
And Earth_vexer 's icons are so pretty indeed. :)

Great idea - the fandom_gives ... and yes, [Unknown site tag] makes some great stuff ... she personalised this one for me.

Hope your little girl is better soon.

I love it when you pimp other people's stuff (as well as your own stuff, of course!) I respect your opinion, and you've never steered me wrong.

Sadly the poor thing is *still* ill... but she's coping very well, I have o say.

Give people chocolate, they will smile! Thanks again for the inspiration. :)

earth_vexer is amazing. This is one of hers, and it makes me almost cry every time I look at it.

Great idea - the fandom_gives .
Isn't it just? Fandom is a wonderful thing!

Ooooh pretty! (One can never go wrong with Spike...) Also loved the ones that kazzy_cee made for you! :)

Thank you! She's still poorly as I write, but she's being ever so good about it.

Aw, thank you! I love sharing things, and I'm so glad that people enjoy it! *hugs*

And my little one is still not better, but she's coping very well, thankfully!
