Fanwriting: Woot! Woot!

[nebroadwe]

Congratulations to my f-list -- specifically lyrangalia (first place, Divergence), artemisrae (third place, "Everything I've Ever Had") and cornerofmadness (members' choice, "A Better Fate") -- for taking three of four places in the Fullmetal Alchemist category at this year's UFO Awards! You guys rock!

Further congrats to lyrangalia for her second place ribbon in the Dresden Files category, with "The Greatest of These". Wear 'em both proudly!

Go me for getting third in the TRC category, too. Confounded fanon shippers, ignoring all the really good stuff among the ATLA entries, grumble, mutter ... everybody go read "In Our Bedroom After the War", which should've gotten tagged, growl, gripe ...

Why, yes, that would be one of my dreams. *nod nod nod* Except there needs to be a vampire or ghost in it, too (probably discovered by the house being jacked up and moved away from the basement).

Would a unicorn count? Kid you not -- toward the end, Michael Gambon's Dumbledore showed up to confound the villain-in-chief with a unicorn. I swear, all I had before bed was a glass of iced tea.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes. That definitely qualifies as a SJS-style dream. *nod nod nod*

What KIND of ice tea, though?

[nebroadwe.livejournal.com]

Diet. But that can't have been it ... can it?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

*quivers*

...diet ice tea?

*quivers*

That would certainly do it.

*takes a slug of the leaded stuff with real sugar*

Hey, it was a gift! How was I supposed to know?

Mind you, I probably should have guessed. This is the same person who gave me a box of diet chocolates sweetened with sorbitol and neglected to mention sorbitol's clinical use.

*shudder* My sisters do that sort of stuff and I run screaming.

I'm having another glass of the tea this evening. (I can stop any time I want, but probably won't until I run out the jug.) Let's see what that does for my subconscious ...

I have my lovely sun tea, brewed in a glass jar in my yard while I was at work, with sugar, and black tea mixed with white tea, flavored with peach and mango. Yummy.

Mmm, sounds good (though sun tea kind of weirds me out since I heard about the bacteria problem). I just picked up some of my favorite kind of tea in the world (http://shopstashtea.com/030460.html) at the local strawberry festival: I love strong tea, and this is strong enough to lift a safe and soooo delicious.

I plan on picking some raspberry leaves off the plants at Mom's house and cleaning them (and some berries) for making tea later this year....

Stash has some lovely teas, I'll agree.
