Secret Santa Sign Ups!

[miri1984]

Ooookay. So Christmas/New Year is rapidly approaching, and we could do with presents, right? So, I'm going to arrange a secret santa for the community. If you want to contribute fic or art to a secret santa pool, register your name below, together with a character/pairing you would like to receive fic or art of. 

This will be a proper secret santa. In that, I'll put EVERYONE's name in a hat, then pull them out one by one. It won't be a fic or art swap, the person who gets you will not be the person who you get, unless there is a coincidence, which does, admittedly, sometimes happen. It will be as random as I can make it :D. I will make one condition - if for whatever reason you don't want to write or draw the pairing or character your secret santa has asked for, I will act as a mediator and negotiate something different between the two of you. I will do this without informing you or your partner who the other party is so we can maintain the surprise.

Naturally if there is a problem I'll need to know as soon as possible in order to get as much time in there for people to do their thing before New Year.

If you need to pull out at any time also, please let me know and I'll attempt to arrange a substitution. If you're just going to be a little bit late you can tell me also, most of us are pretty easy going and won't mind if we get our presents POST Christmas :D.


TL;DR

• SECRET SANTA SIGN UP HERE
• WRITE A COMMENT WITH YOUR NAME AND A CHARACTER/PAIRING YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE FIC OR ART ABOUT
• SIGN UPS WILL CLOSE on the 20th OF NOVEMBER
• FICS/ART DUE BY THE NEW YEAR OR AS CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS AS YOU CAN GET
• TELL MIRI IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.

Sample comment from me below, if anyone would like to know exactly how I would like you to set them out! I'm not going to screen comments - I will inform you by message who your secret santa receiver is, and this is just the sign up!


 

You Know You've Played Too Much Dragon Age When...

[ashstoner_021]

I posted this on tumblr earlier, but I figured I'd put it here too.  It's sort of Dragon Age related anyway!

*****

So the other night, well early morning if anybody’s really counting, but anyway…

Yeah, so the other  EARLY MORNING I had a dream.  It was a really weird and short dream.  I get those a lot right before I wake up. 

Anyway, in this dream, my husband and I were in bed sleeping (if THAT’S not the lamest start to a dream I’ll eat my hoodie), and anyway, I hear a noise downstairs.  At first I think nothing of it, but it gets louder.  I am now convinced there is someone in the house, even though my dog is not barking.  If you knew my dog, you’d understand why this would worry me, lol. 

So I wake Justin up, and he hears the noise too, verifying that I’m not insane.  So instead of doing anything, we sit there talking in hushed tones about it.  Why?  I have no idea.  Suddenly, two people sitting at the foot of the bed start chiming into the conversation.  I look down and see Fenris and Anders of all people.  This doesn’t seem to disturb either me or my husband, however, so we continue talking strategy with them as if they’re always there.  It’s about this time when I start thinking to myself ‘now WAIT a second… we have a rifle in the closet, an elf that can literally phase his hand through a person’s chest, and a mage who can set them on fire… why the FUCK are we sitting here like cowards?’  Then the logical part of my head chimes in with ‘furthermore… why are Anders and Fenris in your room and WHY aren’t they naked?’ 

That’s when I realize that I’m lucid dreaming.  And that I have to pee.  So I give a cheerful ‘well have fun with that, I’m out!’ and wake up.  The end.  This is the weird shit that goes through my head sometimes.  Now you see where my insanity comes from.  THE MORE YOU KNOW.

****

So, has anything ridiculous happened to anybody else here?  Or am I just that batty?  XD  Share share share!
