    I may request to be killed after my day at work today, because I don't know if I can take another. :p It had three women with the worst sounding nasal tones and gratingly pitched voices, all yakking up a storm right next to my desk for most of the day. :_|

    Darling girl, I had a 10-year-old screaming "I WANT MY D*** IPOD" at me when I work in the reservations department of an e-commerce company. We don't ever give out iPods, much less to 10-year-olds.

    Oooooooh. [face_batting] I've been playing with our new and improved ability to add illustrations to fics.

    It's coooooool.

    So, authors, if you have a favorite fic and a favorite illustration to go with it, PM an editor and we can make your fic look all spiffy.

    Hey, that is nifty. It's nice to see that option added in a meaningful way at last. :)

    As summer ends and school begins, fill the gaping hole in your heart where all those warm and sun-filled days used to dwell by reading some new fic!

    An Island of Stone by VaderLVR64
    A simple task might be much more than it seems.

    Congrats ratna!

    Re: Other fandoms- do you just mean the ones on the list, or all the other fandoms that we read/write in? *grins*

    From the list:

    Anime (several)
    Harry Potter
    Marvelverse/DCverse
    Pirates of the Caribbean
    Other

    "Other" referring to Speed Racer, Power Rangers, Standoff, Danny Phantom, Diana Wynne Jones, Princess Diaries, Mediator, Heroes, House, Supernatural, etc. I once went through FFN and wrote down all the fandoms that I've ever read/wrote in, and it came to over fifty. But Harry Potter, DCU, Speed Racer, Danny Phantom, Power Rangers and Bleach(anime) are my main ones at the moment.

    If it ain't listed and you like it, it's an "Other."

    Although, it could very well be that many people love stuff on the list and also "other." Which means you have to make a choice which one to pick. Hmm...didn't think about that.

    I went with "other" for the poll, because I couldn't narrow it down. That's after I noticed there was an "other"- didn't notice that before. *coughs*

    I don't read or write in any other fandoms. This one eats enough of my time. :p

    I swear that I won't write in certain fandoms, but the blasted plot bunnies get me everywhere. AUs, Angst, Drama, Humor, Presents for Friends...Random acts of crossover like Harry Potter and West Wing. Religious satire based on one line from a book. It's maddening.

    Hi, everybody.

    Here lately, we editors have been missing some communications because of the rather large amount of spam we get.

    If you are emailing something we need to see, such as a question, artwork, or a request for feedback, if you make the subject line of your email obviously relevant and put it in all caps, it might help prevent missed emails. Examples: COVER ART, REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK ... that sort of thing.

    Many thanks, and we'll keep our eyes peeled.

    Sorry to hear about the spam. Spam is very bad. Don't they have spam filters for the Archive correspondence?

    That's a good idea, guys. I sure wish we'd thought of that when I was on the editor mailing list. I vividly remember the quantity of spam. *shivers*
