The Argonathon

So, I had sort've intended, last night, to come home directly after babysitting, and get a bunch of writing done. Instead, I ended up chatting about CYR teaching issues with Master Hwang until midnight, and then when I did get home, I... Well...

kphoebe and I read The Eye of Argon out loud to each other. And then, amid choking gasps of laughter, I had The Best Idea Ever.

That idea, my friends, is the argonathon.

If you've been attracted to ficathons, but reluctant to actually participate, this one is totally for you. Seriously! How much more low-pressure can you get? You can sign up anytime, there's no exchange factor, and you can choose to use or ignore the prompt you're provided with, as you please. There are no requirements for length or genre - you don't even have to get a beta, if you don't want to. All you have to do is finish your story by the end of October.

And your source material for constructing your fanfiction is The Eye of Argon - how can you be intimidated by that?

So sign up for argonathon today! And don't forget to tell all your friends!

I Span the Internets

In addition to setting up (and promoting wildly) argonathon this weekend, I've been making guest appearances in other corners of cyberspace.

I participated in a Brain Parade at Meme Therapy, for one thing.

I also wrote a new article for The Hathor Legacy. It's called "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Jadzia's Gender."

Whew!

I think I might need to take a nap (I did stay up until six in the morning - it would be a justifiable nap!).
