Frelling BBC News! Just. Stop. It!!

I have a phobia of Daddy-Long-Legs. They keep trailing a report on why there's been an explosion on the population of Daddy-Long-Legs. With a frelling 25inch Alien Flying Freak Of Nature on the screen.

It's a phobia, I can't move when I see it. I am having palpatations.

(thedothatgirl and acrazywench kinda saw a calm panic attack from me on Saturday - one flew past me in the hotel lobby and despite having a sore leg I was as far away from it as I could be in .2 seconds)

As some/most of you know, nemo_gravis is currently MIA somewhere in the South of France (come back man, we miss you!) and it's left us one admin short at I Need A Parrot.

So here's the question, would anyone be willing to take on a little admin duty over at the site? It's not a great deal of work and the other moderators are around for support and any questions. Basically what you would be doing is checking newly submitted stories to make sure they fit the criteria of the site (Xander-centric, no RPF/RPS, good level of spelling/grammar, no gratuitous character bashing) and either validating it or refusing it. In addition you may be expected to keep a watch out for flamers etc (this is mainly done through checking the reviews on stories - if something has a particularly low score this can be an indicator that someone has been flaming the author).

We currently work on a weekly schedule with a community which the moderators can post in if they want a second opinion on something. I should say that as we accept fic of all types on the site, you would need to be willing to at least look over all genres and pairings with as little prejudice as possible. If something seriously squicks you, of course we won't demand you read it, all we ask is for tolerance.

Interested? Please email me at shona [at] moments-lost.co.uk

( I guess since Christmas Invasion hasn't aired everywhere yet that this might still be spoilery... )

Oh! And I almost forgot! New Last Icon Maker Standing contest!! spnlims - For Supernatural, obviously. You can still sign up to enter until tomorrow's cut off date for challenge one - but you could also join and vote - the more the merrier! Come, join, watch me flail!

Randomly. What is the plural of 'paradox'? Is it 'paradoxes' or 'paradi' or what? :)

Nero was a socialist.

Yeah, right.

Oh BBC, documdrama... just... no.

*sigh*

let those two little girls turn on the TV without being reminded that their daddy is in hospital. Let's stop pointing the finger until Hamster gets the all clear. Until we know he can go home and be with his girls again.

I don't know Richard Hammond or his family or friends. I've never met them. I do know how fucking scary this must be for his wife and daughters. I do know that turning on the TV and being faced with "but the BBC should never have let him do this" does not help right now.

The man is in hospital. Let him recover. Let his family breathe again. Let everyone breathe again before pointing the finger.

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about - Richard Hammond, Top Gear presenter, suffered a serious injury after a major crash
