I love my giftfic!

It's The Eight fic, Mireille/Valentine and Mireille/Talleyrand (and imho, unconsummated Valentine/Talleyrand as well) and it's lyric, emotional, in-character and sublime.

Anon wrote in the notes that she and I matched on something else but my request introduced her to The Eight and she decided to write it and I am so thrilled because yay story, and also Achievement Unlocked for 2011 for introducing someone to The Eight.

If anyone but my betas can, btw, guess the fic I wrote for Yuletide, I'll make them a fanvid to any 2010 or 2011 song of their choice, in any fandom I have the content for.

Ah, lovely Yuletide year! Hope you all had magical Yuletide experiences too!

Now, what should I read next? REC ME THINGS, please! We aren't having company until about 4...

For those who don't, what movie(s) are you seeing this weekend? We may be doing Tin Tin tonight, and my dad wants to take the boys to see Warhorse. Which I want to see as well because, well, Hiddleston (and Cummerbatch) but I may not get to. Back to the Muppets for me, which is ftw too.

If you aren't Christmassing and have some free time, Ascendio Formal Programming submissions are due in February, so winter break/the holidays are a perfect time to think about what you want to
present on - or even give the programming chairs (Anastasia of No LJ and

femme_quixotic a fantastic gift by submitting a proposal.

Off to finish the ginger cookies and latkes! Interesting food combination; goes well with Chinese food.

Just got a 25% Off code for Ghiradelli's but it can only be used online, and only thru Sunday. If you want to use it, click here.

Have also just re-imported all my LJ posts to DW - there will be some double-posts for things I didn't crosspost and which thus have slightly different timestamps, but I'm ok with that. I'm still reading and commenting on both systems as I use S2 over there so there's been no real impact on me, but still....

SUBJECT LINES! We want them back for ALL styles! I have them because of my S2 and my choice to use the style for Comment pages but they should be available for EVERYONE.

Jeepers, LJ - did you PLAN in ADVANCE for this to be the question today or is it a crazy random happenstance?

Had you not done this, my rant would've been about whether, in ten years time, one should watch Peter Jackson's Middle Earth movies in the order in which they were released, or in chronological order. But you, LJ, were foolist, so it won't be.

C'mon LJ! Backpedal, this one last time.

Take a deep breath. Now rant about something!

That's LJ's Question of the Day. So here's my rant:

Title: Raise Your Glass to the Winchesters (and Friends)!
Author:

balefully
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Ensemble with some Sam/Dean and Various Characters/Booze
Rating: PG
Warnings: Spoilers through 7.10, including for new characters introduced in Season 7.
Set to: "Raise Your Glass" by P!nk
Prompt: She requested a "happy, kick-ass ensemble vid to "Raise Your Glass" by Pink, with everyone happy and drinking and generally being awesome underdogs getting up to all sorts of hijinx. Featuring Sam and Dean and Bobby and John and Jo and Ellen and Bela and EVERYONE..."
Notes: It's not 100% happy, but I hope it's kick-ass, and it's very ensemble-ish.

balefully, thank you SO much for the awesome prompt! This was so much fun to make! And technically, it's now the fourth in my series of Winchesters/Liquor fanvids, so it's clearly a theme I enjoy. I hope you like it!

It's on YouTube at the best holiday video url ever: http://youtu.be/tvTfw_XMiss - it was completely random, but consider it a holiday gift from YouTube. It's also( behind the cut )

Or download the high-res version on Megaupload. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Now I am off to deal with Yuletiding, where I am verging on omgwtfBEARS.

LJ is reportedly about to discontinue having Subject lines in Replies to posts, and changing the way the Expand feature works, as per discussion here. Given my work on the

help_haiti comm, I have feelings that I wanted to expand beyond my initial do not want so here's what I posted here

news.

Hi! About two years ago, I founded the LJ comm help_haiti to fundraise and host an auction to support the rescue of survivors and the rebuilding of Haiti after one of the worst earthquakes on record.

The LiveJournal platform was wonderfully suited for our auction to take place on, in large part because the subject lines of the Offerings were informative and evocative, and because of the ability to Expand a discussion to bidders could easily see all the threads.

Because of the way the community was organized on LiveJournal, we raised about 125,000 for charities that helped Haiti and its citizens.

In the ensuing 23 months, over a dozen communities, including help_chile, help_japan and others, have been created with similar purposes and missions, and astoundingly fantastic fundraising totals.

We at help_haiti greatly appreciated the support that LiveJournal gave to the project; it was the first time that LJ had set up a Virtual Gift tied to a specific community's fundraising project, and it was promoted by news. Authors like Neil Gaiman posted about it and promoted the project on their Twitter feeds and blogs. It brought people to LJ who hadn't been here before.

At the time, we appreciated LJ's support of the project and since then, as I said, other charitable projects have as well.

These projects will not be able to be hosted on LiveJournal if Subject Lines are eliminated from the Reply process. It will be difficult, if not impossible, to host such projects on LiveJournal if Offerors and Bidders can't Expand the comment threads.

Please, reconsider the design, so that beneficial, charitable, helpful projects like this can continue when needed.

+1s and contrary opinions are both appreciated.
