Scaphoid is not fractured - huge relief - carpal is. So I don't have a broken hand, I have a broken wrist. Bugger.

The pain is getting easier to cope with though so it's not as bad as it could be.

Other things - NaNo is currently standing at 3,312 words which is below target but since I started late I'm not too bothered. I will probably start posting it somewhere next week.

In prep for it, I've been re-watching Angel s5. Man I miss that show! I got to 'Hole in the world' last night - and wept.

And I've started being able to listen to Steve with a smile on my face again. Various reasons, mostly to do with bad memories, had robbed me of that simple joy - and if you know how much I love music, you'll know how much joy I get out of my favourite performers.

I'm smiling now.

And I'm back on full strength meds - still have to tell my doctor that. Ooops!

eta - what happened to [livejournal.com profile] lmzjewel? Ruth? Honey, is everything okay? (*feels awful that she hasn't seen it before*)

No, really.

Even though I can't get dotnetnuke to work (and seriously, why ask someone to design and manage a site for you if you're going to use a damn Microsoft CMS that she can't use?!)

Even though I feel kinda ill (what's new?) and my hayfever/skin allergies have kicked in with a vengeance.

Even though I don't have a working washing machine and have to trudge up the road every day with a rucksack full of laundry.

Even though I have twenty quid to see me through until my next benefit comes in.

Even though I have had to chase up every payment ever made through this benefit (and has usually meant I get it three or four days later than I'm supposed to).

Even though I can't book the bus to Birmingham yet because of the afore mentioned twenty quid to get me through the next week.

Even though I don't have a place to stay on the Sunday night at Asylum.

I R Happy.

Library's shut tomorrow and I should be working on this damn DotNetNuke thing anyway, so it'll be a while 'fore I'm back again, please to be linking me so I can catch up at the end of the week?

Also? What's Dreamwidth? I'm really out of the loop but scanning my flist I can see a bunch of people looking for codes for it? *is perplexed*

Oh! The White Knight Awards was nominated over at the RWS awards, but I think I missed the acceptance deadline what with not being online. That fact not withstanding, thank you to whomever nominated us! It's an absolute pleasure running those sites!

I HAVE MONEY!!!

giro cheque arrived this morning, I can go get some chocolate and ice cream!

And, you know, actual food as well, but it's the munchies I've been missing most!

So... really not sure if this is going to work on LJ so if not, there's a form on the main page of the Salt & Burn Awards site but...

To track future updates and announcements, please fill in your details here:




Name: E-mail:





This is the new mailing list for announcements concerning the Salt And Burn Awards for Supernatural and Supernatural related fanfiction. This will not be used for spam, the emails entered will not be shared with any third party - in fact not even the other judges will know them. Just me. I swear it.

Right now we're taking nominations for the Readers' Choice Awards - this is a mini-round with only three categoruies - Best Author, Best Fic and Best RPS Fic. We're doing well with nominees in the first two categories but not so much for the third. I'm not active in the RPS quorum of this fandom, so I don't really know where to promote it, or even how to promote it, so please flist? Help a girl out?

Here's some pretty (or, y'know, not so much, but the best I could do at the time) buttons you can use to link to the site. Please be sensible though, don't spam anyone, don't annoy the crap out of people and if you're posting to comms please make sure they allow promotion of sites - ask the moderators if you're not sure.

THANK YOU!




The URL to link these to is: http://salt-and-burn.co.uk/awards

Forgot to say - Readers' Choice round is exactly what it says - it's the readers who choose the winners. Judging will be back for the next full round, but this is your chance to have your say!
