And one more reminder: northwest_fen is planning a meet-up on the 19th of February. If you are a member (and a fair few of you are on my flist too), please go comment on the post if you haven't already. If you're not a member but think fangirl shenanigans in Manchester sound awesome, then you should go join the comm.

Since many of the northwest_fen members are also on my flist (and because it's my journal and thus I can), I thought I'd post a reminder about the CHRISTMAS MEET-UP POLL/POST here as well. If you are a member and haven't yet looked at the post, please can you do so now. If you're not a member, but think trekking to Manchester, UK for a fandom meet-up sounds like an excellent idea, then I suggest you join pronto! :D

Happy Sunday, have some stuff.

-    My cats are playing tag, it’s hilarious. It’s fairly warm today so I have the backdoor open. Basically, they’re running back and forth between the lounge and the back yard, Tricks chasing Perdie one way and Perdie chasing Tricks back the other way. For two such small cats they make enough noise that is sounds like a herd of wildebeest trampling all over my flat

-    That, however, is nothing compared to the continuous screeching from the woman next door. She has three children, who are far less loud than their mother. I swear to god this woman has no normal volume of voice, all she does is shout all the time. I just want to tape her mouth shut.

-    Dear Internet. Last night pushkin666 and I wrote over 4,000 words of angsty porn about Strictly Come Dancing judges (Craig/Bruno). I am so very, very sorry. Except for how it's kind of smoking hot. Still, am frightened about posting it eventually, because, well... Let’s just say that my recent experiences in writing RPS in small non-existing fandoms have left me very protective of my fourth wall...

-    My Torchwood help_pakistan fic is making progress and the end is almost in sight. This is mostly thanks to margaret_r and zeitheist and their invaluable help. Ladies, I will email the finished product to you within a few days.

-    Shout out to my fabulous Finngirls! Yesterday’s post brought me a coaster! With some very, very disturbing and rude messages about Chad Michael Murray, fuck holes and Hardycorn (...which I imagine is some sort of unholy morphosis of Tom Hardy and an unicorn – frightening!). I’m not quite sure what it was all about, but I liked it! Thank you so much, you have no idea how much that brightened my day!

-    It was a good day for post yesterday as I also got my Adam Lambert tickets! \o/

-    The inaugural northwest_fen meet is next weekend the 16th of October. If you haven’t already joined and/or pimped the comm, you should do so immediately :D

-    Let’s finish with some links:

Fandom meet-ups and other activities in the North-West of England? Hell, yes.

Do you live in the North-West of England or within a reasonable travelling distance, or just want to catch up with fen when you're in the area? Are you a fangirl/boy? Want to meet up with other like-minded people to socialise, discuss fandom (seriously or not so seriously at all), watch fanvids or show finales or that newest must see movie that your flist is squeeing about, plot epic fics or mock badfic, pimp your new fandom, make new friends, or any other of myriad fun-filled things fandom people tend to get up to when they congregate? If your answer is 'FUCK YEAH!' then this is a place for you.



Join. Pimp. Rejoice. Bake me cupcakes.

I have the sad-face at the moment because connotations is just voting on this year's panels and they all look so awesome and because I couldn't afford the con this year I don't get to go to any of them. :(((((((((((((

Once upon a time moth2fic and I were considering trying to set up a North-West slashers' (or fandom in general though it would have to be slash tolerant) group but never did. Now I'm thinking about it again (moth2fic is in Portugal but I feel she would be encouraging me if she knew about this - apparently people have a vested interest in me participating in social activities? Possibly they think it will make me less likely to just snap one day?)

Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway. So, UK people. Slash/fandom meet-ups in the North-West? Think london_slashers / london_fen only in the Leeds/Manchester/Liverpool axis and well, anything within commuting distance. Good idea? Live in the general area and interested? Know others who might be?

I'm really just trying to canvas interest at the moment to see if it's worth setting up a comm etc. So please drop me a comment if you are interested and please pimp the post if you think you have people on your friends list who are in the area and would possibly like to get involved.

Cheers!
