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!

The beautiful holiday banner above is by pfodge, and it was posted in the all-new qaf_art_dept, a community for posting banners, headers, and other Queer as Folk fan art. Lots of beautiful things there, so come visit. And artists, we want YOU to post, too! All forms of fan art are welcome, except icons... visit qaf_icons for those. The full series marathon at qaf_marathons with our lovely hostess not_yet_defined continues with episodes 303 and 304. Please come by and discuss the episodes! Marathons are held on Tuesday evenings at 9 PM Eastern Time, but you can drop by anytime to comment. qafmaniac's Spanking Challenge at qaf_scavenger heated the fandom up this month with fic, icons, graphics, two new vids, and a poll. Check it out here! It's a Queer Christmas, Charlie Brown! Over in qaf_coffeeclub, happier_bunny has a theory: Brian is Lucy, Justin is Snoopy. What do you think? Fic recs: qaf_retread has been getting into the holiday spirit with three Thanksgiving recs: Tryptophan by Ms. Judi; Daphne Gets a Dog by me; Myrna's classic Thanksgiving. Plus: two great Dare Challenge fics by vamphile and burkes17; Cara del Sol's Cross Reference; bigboobedcanuck's first QAF fic, a beautiful cancer arc AU series. In other fic news, the prompt at qaf_drabbles was Jeans; don't miss it. And especially don't miss the incredible THIRTY TWO FICS in not_yet_defined's Thanksgiving Fic Rec-a-thon! There were lots of fandom classics new fans might have missed, and quite a few from current writers, too! All new Love! Come join the brand new asylum, teh_daily_love! Picspams, meta, and more, all about the love! Things like: The greatest reunification since Germany, the Brian and Emmett friendship, those very special three little words, thoughts on drama queen moments, all about 314, thoughts on the prom, and we don't need rings and vows! Icons in this issue: Santa B/J and "303 is Love" by qafmaniac; mistletoe by url_girl; Scrooge!Brian by libra2.
