Of Great Doctrinal Import, Guys.
Baby, I know you wanna show that thon, tha-thon-thon-thon.

-METATHON: Let's get metaphysical, metaphysical. Are you intimidated by meta? Now you don't have to be, with this easy one-two-three meta-thon(g)! Wear it, and all your fears about getting physical wear away!

I could totally be a scary announcer guy. But anyway, really, seraphcelene is asking us to do something really easy, something we want to do anyway, and something I've heard a lot of you say you want more of. She's asking us to talk about our writing. You can write a DVD commentary, an in depth analysis of control dynamics between your male and female characters throughout your entire body of work, or answer the question, Why Do I Always Write About Cheese? It's a chance to talk about yourself. Indulge yourself. It doesn't have to be difficult or mind-bending to be informative or illuminating to others. Sign up to write about why you write what you do: here.

-MARATHON: It's time for the IWRY Fic Marathon again. For those of you who don't know, it's a ficathon focused on Buffy/Angel. It's into its fourth (fifth?) year, and imo it's one of the things that helps keep Jossverse alive. Even if you don't write B/A, this is an excellent chance to try your hand at it. chrisleeoctaves always makes this event a pleasure in which to participate; for the entire month of November there're new fics by all kinds of writers, one each day. Please consider signing up, before I do something drastic like volunteer to write two which I know I can't do, but am thinking about doing anyway because I'm worried about the lack of participants.

-FICATHON: kangeiko is gauging interest in a faith ficathon, in which participants will write fics celebrating the faiths of different characters. As Kangeiko says, the character you write about doesn't have to have a strong on-screen/page relationship to his/her faith. Rather, you as the author has to determine what that relationship might be, and how it affects the character. Kangeiko uses the example of Firefly--Book is very religious, obviously, but how did Mal become so disillusioned? What is Inara's faith? Does Jayne have one? I think this would be a really awesome ficathon. State your interest here.

-For those keeping up with Another One Like It Tomorrow, posting will resume this weekend. I'm so sorry for the long delay.

-As for where I've been, thanks to all of you who've been concerned. I'm fine, and hopefully will be more active online soon. I owe some of you emails and others of you fb and others of you crazy souped up Phantom of the Opera plotlines, K, I'm looking at you. I miss you guys!
