QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 10/22/09

Hi, everyone!

It's the time of year when nature is busy changing season, and for many of us the clocks are also changing. Perhaps not too far away Kinnetik are at the peak of their winter advertising campaigns!

Here in fandom there's a lot of planning going on too, for all kinds of gifts and treats. More ... under the cut!

Here's a taste of what's going on right now....

QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 04/20/09

Hi, everyone!

Yes, yes, you've heard all my excuses... work, writing, family, blah blah blah. I won't bore you with that, but I will mention fandom's been anything BUT boring lately!

Since the last issue, there have been "Small Things Made Large" challenge fics... a new challenge announced... a fast and dirty porn challenge... marathons, meta, picspams, drabbles, icons... even a new community and a wedding! And Twitter news!

Hi, everyone!

Trying to recap the crazy week we've had in the InsaneJournal QAF fandom would take more time than any one person realistically has, especially since I'm still working on my "Small Things Made Large" challenge fic!

We've had a friending party, marathon, trivia contest, drabblemania, and more... under the cut!

QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 11/30/08

Hi, everyone! I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I had a particularly busy work schedule in the last few weeks, with three articles due in the week before Thanksgiving, and had to put this newsletter on hold until now. It would be hard to do justice to everything that's happened in the last month, so I'm just going to hit a few of the highlights in this issue.

Look inside for the fandom goodies!

QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 9/21/08

A month. It's been a MONTH since I did this newsletter. You should all fire me immediately.

Seriously, I've had a particularly gruesome case of writer's block, which wouldn't matter except that I make my living writing. So I've been spending a lot of time in the fetal position, sobbing, interspersed with sweating blood while I try to choke out enough words to pay my bills. Not. Pretty. Trust me.

/whining

I won't even try to catch up with the previous weeks, just hit a couple of highlights and the current week. As always, if I've missed anything, or you have news, please let me know in the comments to this post!

Now, come inside for lots of QAF news and prettiness!

QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 8/03/08

Hello, everyone! This was the crappiest week in the history of ever for about half the people I know, and I'm so glad it's over! How about you?

IJ fandom was busy anyway, apparently not caring that I was drowning in deadlines and personal catastrophe. How rude! But it does mean we have a full and complete newsletter this week, so yay!

As always, please comment if you have news or if I missed something!

QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 7/20/08

Hello, everyone! Sorry the newsletter was a little late this week, I've been struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome after my fic-explosion last week, plus oh yeah, all that typing I have to do for work... my apologies! It's even worse, because I'm about to go on vacation so this is definitely newsletter lite! Back to normal next week, I promise.

As always, please comment if you have news or if I missed something.

QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 7/12/08

Hello, everyone! I think we're all still staggering in exhaustion and awe over the 223 drabbles posted in the Rim-o-rama, but there was lots of other news this week, and a little wank, too, which we're going to completely ignore because fandom? It's my happy place. :)

Hello, everyone! Let me begin by wishing those of you in the United States a safe and happy Independence Day weekend, and by thanking happier_bunny for bringing out the newsletter last week so I could concentrate on getting my Pride on! Thanks, bunny!

This week's news includes the wild rim-o-rama going on over in qaf_drabbles, and an avalanche of new vids and vid recs.

As always, please comment if you have news or if I missed something.

I'm standing in for

Have fun!

QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 6/13/08

Hello, everyone! I'm going to try to get the newsletter out on Friday evenings from now on, as much as RL will permit, so you can use the weekend to catch up. But that means this one covers only five days instead of seven, so it might be a bit short.

This week's news includes "Brian/Justin Cuddle Day" and a new asylum!

As always, please comment if you have news or if I missed something.

QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 6/08/08

Hello, everyone! I'm thinking that I should focus on getting this newsletter out on Fridays so that you can use the weekend to catch up on fandom. So from now on, barring interference from that irritating thing known as "real life," expect this to hit your flists Friday nights from now on.

Which means this one is long and Friday's will probably be a bit short.

The big news this week is the 122-201-202 marathon, and the vid-off. I've got links to all the special events, as well as the usual icons, fan fiction news, and other updates, all after the cut!

As always, please comment if you have news or if I missed something!

I'm back with the fully-featured real-thing IJ QAF fandom newsletter! Yay!

Let's start with this week's big event, the qaf_marathons 122-202-202 slumber party.

In order to prevent PTSD from ravaging the fandom, the ongoing S1 marathon will be structured to allow for the healing to begin immediately. Sit up late with your fangirl friends, holding hands, eating popcorn, and sobbing on each other's shoulders. We're there for you, yo! Details here!

There's lots more news under the cut, and as always, please comment if you have news or if I missed something!

QAF Fandom InsaneJournal News -- 5/19/08

Hello! I'm going to do one more newsletter-lite, simply because it's a holiday weekend and I'm still a bit crispy around the edges, and have a work deadline tomorrow. It won't be quite as lite as last week's, however.

Big news:

ohfreckle 's QAF LOVE MEME 2008! Check it out and spread the love here.

More news: The 41 fics inspired by the 24 banners of the "Challenge in Two Parts" weren't enough... we want more! Challenge Amnesty starts now.... and ends June 13! So if you wanted to write, or didn't finish your fic in time, it's not too late! Info here.

Don't miss the marathon of 120 tonight... King of Babylon! Episode icons are here, and the discussion starts in

qaf_marathons at 10 PM Eastern Time/7 PM Pacific Time, hosted by

not_yet_defined !

( Other fandom happenings include: )

That's it for this week, see you next week with a full newsletter!
