Those of you who are sick of seeing me pimp out

fma_ladyfest: you are in luck! Because sign-ups end tomorrow (Wednesday) at midnight EST and therefore this is the last pimping post you will probably have to see. (Unless you belong to the FMA comms, in which case, uh, you'll be seeing like four more. Sorry?)

So basically, if you have been thinking about signing up, now is the time, this is the place. Join us! We have cookies. Well, okay, that is a lie. But we have awesome ladies and awesome writers, which is possibly better!

In other news, in honor of all the fantastic fic that is to come (AM I STILL TOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS? MAYBE YES A LITTLE) I am following in

vivien529's footsteps and reviving the songfic game!

Name a work of fiction - book, movie, tv show, whichever; obscure is fine and welcomed, as long as you know that I know it - and whatever the next song is that comes up randomly on my iPod after I see your comment, I will describe to you the plot of the amazingly angsty and terrible songfic that would emerge from this combination! As a bonus, if the song is uploadable, I will upload it for you when I get home from work.

Example: You say, "The Cat in the Hat;" the next song that comes up on my iPod is "Don't Fear the Reaper"; clearly, this would generate a fic about the Cat trying to talk the fish into letting the Cat dump him out of his bowl, leaving his confined life for a passionate and freeing death!

(And then by the rule of the internet, of course, that fic will spring spontaneously into existence, but we can ignore that bit.)

Becca, am I signing up for your ficathon?

ALSO, you need to read Gail Carriger's books. Soulless, Changeless, and Blameless is coming in less than a month. They're steampunk supernatural Regency romance with a kickass heroine. I think you would find them adorable.

This is a question only you can answer! I mean, I think we have made it clear how we feel whenever someone signs up, but that is sort of irrelevant. :D

I have read Soulless! Then I got Changeless out of the library and sort of accidentally flipped to the end and was irritated, so I haven't read it yet. I'll probably wait to do so until I hear reports of Blameless.

I found the ending of Changeless annoying, but I believe it will pay off in Blameless. At least I hope so. My copy won't arrive until the end of October/beginning of November, since it's shipping with Greg Rucka's third Tara Chace novel and the sequel to Leviathan.

(if I sign up to make icons, can you point me at screencaps?)

I have people who have promised to report to me! I figure I can wait until then.

(I can definitely point you at screencaps regardless, but the art part of this particular exchange is less icon-making and more drawing and stuff, since people are providing prompts for scenarios they'd like to see and so forth.)

Will you be heinously disappointed if I don't sign up?

I will survive the blow. :)

I promise to read the things that are submitted!

That is just as appreciated! See also: my comment to

schellibie above. :D
