ARGH!

[ficwize]

No, that is not my pirate impersonation. That is my noise for the day. I'm stressing myself out here.

* Work is making me nuts. Getting paid for work is making me nuttier.

* I have another magazine article to write, which is good, but only a week to do it, which is bad since I haven't interviewed anyone yet. *bangs head on desk*

* Not to mention the other writing assignments due between now and then.

* Plus, the Recathon...

I still need volunteers to help with advertising in Doctor Who, Firefly, NCIS, Supernatural, and Torchwood.

Please, if you're so inclined to help, help me. It won't take long to handle one. If I'm trying to handle all five, forget it. I'll pull my hair out. I know there are fans of these fandoms reading. All you have to do is make a couple of posts. Don't be shy. And if anyone bites, tell them it's my fault and to bite me, okay?

* On the same note, if you offered to banner-make, remember the deadline is tomorrow.

* I've finished recs for sequentialcrack for the month. I could have made more, but I met the minimum and I'm out of time. Still, I encourage people to go and sign up to rec. It's a good idea, but only works as much as the fans do.

* crack_van will get a few more recs out of me by the end of the month, but not many. Maybe 2.

* My last recs for spnroundtable are ready to go, but I'm not posting until tomorrow. I searched for genuinely scary stories in honor of Halloween and found a few. *pleased*

* I think my fic for the xmen_on_lj Utopia Ficathon is going to be late. I just can't keep up with myself this week.

* I forgot I had out of state company all week, so my evenings have been shot. Fun, but not productive...

* There are more things that I could whine about, but I need to go and get work done now. Hopefully, by this afternoon, I will be calmer. :)

I'll take NCIS and Firefly too, don't worry. I'm not terribly active in those fandoms but I have people I can ask for both NCIS and Firefly so I'm confident I'll have them covered.

*hugs* I know all about work and money driving you nuts.

Hope your day goes well.

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. ♥

If you can, please find a few comms to drop the ads in, or get people on your flist who are active to do so. That's my plan.

[ladyfiresprite.livejournal.com]

I can help if you would like. :) Just let me know what I need to do.

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. ♥

I take it by your icon that you're (hopefully) active with Doctor Who! Is that the fandom you're interested in?

If you can, please find a few comms to drop the ads in, or get people on your flist who are active to do so. That's my plan.

I'll have more detailed instructions available on Saturday.

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

Hi again. :)

I just wanted to follow up and make sure that you were okay with advertising in the Doctor Who fandom. I've got you down for that, but if it's a problem, please let me know ASAP so I can find someone else.

[ladyfiresprite.livejournal.com]

That sounds great! I'll get on that ASAP. Let me know if you need anything else. :)

[musamea.livejournal.com]

I can do general advertising on my LJ for the Recathon if you think that would be helpful. I think our fandoms and flist overlap quite a bit though. And I've been so MIA I'm not sure who's still reading me but....... yeah, just let me know how I can help pimp and I'll do it. :)

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I will be asking people to do that for me, too. More details coming!

[smirnoffmule.livejournal.com]

I can do some pimping in the Torchwood comms. Or the Torchwood comm. Or a Torchwood comm. If you tell me what to do, very slowly and clearly in words of just one syllable.

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

You are awesome.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll be writing up directions and putting them up this weekend.

I can now begin to breathe again.

Let me know if you need any last minute banners. I'm booked up tonight with the craziness that comes with a new episode of Vampire Diaries, but I'm free tomorrow and the weekend.

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

Hey hon. I may need to ask you for some banners. I've got a few outstanding, but only one (Crosovers) that has no banners at all yet.

I'm still hopeful, but I'll let you know as soon as I do. If you're free, though, more is never a bad thing...

[windiain.livejournal.com]

Oh god, it would be crossovers. XD If I have to do that, the only thing I ask is you give me a couple of fandoms to crossover in a couple of banners.

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

Okay, if you could make some banners, I'd appreciate it. The others have gone MIA... XD

Suggested fandoms: Power Rangers, Burn Notice, Comics movies, Big Bang Theory, Being Human, Harry Potter, Veronica Mars, Buffy, anything you'd like. (Power Rangers was a request! *lol*)

If you could make maybe 2 that would be great. Thank you!

[windiain.livejournal.com]

Power Rangers creep me out, man. XD

Banner 1
Banner 2
Banner 3

I'll be busy when the time comes, but I rounded up a list of relevant newsletters for people who have time to promote:

Crossovers - crossover_news
Doctor Who - who_daily
Firefly/Serenity - firefly_signal and whedon_updates
Highlander - hl_flash
Iron Man - comicstore_news and monitor_duty
Leverage - leveragenews
Magnificent 7 - doesn't have a newsletter that I know of?
NCIS - ncis_newsletter
StarTrek Reboot - trek_news (unless there's a reboot-specific newsletter?)
Supernatural - spnnewsletter
Torchwood - torchwood_three

Maybe also to femslash_today and fanfic_ads?

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

This is FANTASTIC.

Thank you so much!
