Talk amongst yourselves

Note: Sidekick is down - a network issue. Don't know when it'll be fixed, so consider me going offline for the night as of now

One of the people on my flist posted a question today, but as her LJ is friends-only, I can't send you there to answer it, so I'm going to replicate it instead:

If you could drop everything right now and run off and do something fun, what would you do?

silverbookworm asked:

There's a competition launched in which the winner gets to present JKR with five fanfics that you are guaranteed she will read. They can be of any length, rating, pairing, and genre, and if they are part of a series, then the entire series is counted as one. You wake up to an email -- you've won! Now all you have to do is pick five fanfics and attach a note for JKR telling her why you picked these particular five. So let her know - what would those five fics be - and what would you write in the note?

Has anyone else been following the what-I-find-to-be-very-amusing "Jeff Gannon" of Talon News situation? I just don't know where to begin in terms of discussing this - I just find it all more amusing than I probably should.

Does anyone still need a gmail account? I have invites-a-plenty!

Now, I must go clean up the bowl of yellow rice which is now decorating my kitchen floor. Sigh.
