Winter Holiday Cards

(and Summer Holiday Cards for my friends in the Southern Hemisphere)

So, I've screened comments to this post. If you'd like a card and don't have reason to believe I have your address, drop me a line here or in email. Also if you have someone whom you'd like to get more cards, I'd be happy to send one to them.

If you want to see the artworks (by me, hyel and _audrey) they're in my gallery here: http://pics.livejournal.com/browngirl/gallery/0000r4fa (Ignore all the dead pictures -- I don't know what's going on there, I'll clean them up soon -- and keep going to the live ones.)

The poems, however, are remaining a surprise until the cards go out. ;)

"turn up the forbidden music and dance; work hard and party harder."

I hadn't posted about the horrible attacks in Mumbai because I didn't know what to say, not least because I didn't think I knew enough to say anything remotely informed. Thanks to a friend (claim your credit; I can't recall whose link this is) I found this article:

Suketu "Maximum City" Mehta on the Mumbai attacks.

As a city girl, this resonated with me. From the depths of my city-loving heart I wish the people of Mumbai and their city all the best a thriving city can bring.

Five Favorite Fics Meme: Update

rabidsamfan mentioned me when she posted this meme:

Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

I've done this meme before, but since then I've gained a wonderful new fandom and re-evaluated my writing a bit. So. As ever, I love my stories or I wouldn't've posted them, but this is a group of stories of mine, from January 2007 onwards, which I especially love.
