Phew! The Teylafen Prompt Battle is ready to go!
Man, I'm tired. And the votes for the Isis Awards are due in by Monday (Tuesday morning for me) with the sorting and the organising and the counting and the double checking and the deading and the argh...
Have you voted? Why not?
And apparently the Stargate Fan Awards are also taking nominations for this year's awards! Thankfully, I'm not involved in that. If organising the Isis Awards is a headache, then organising the SFA is probably a migrane. Or possibly hell in fandom.
No, actually, it's not hell in fandom. I've been to hell in fandom. It's neither pretty, fun, nor something I care to experience again.

sgatlantislight is looking for the essential John Sheppard fics (that don't feature McShep or Shweir), as well as the essential Teyla Emmagan fics. Of course, rather than just running in and nominating everything you've ever read that you liked, why not pick a handful of stories (gen, het, femmeslash) that encapsulate the essence of the characters?

To tell you the truth, I often ask myself why I keep getting involved in fandom projects.
The truth? I'm a control freak. (Oh, yeah, like that's news.) I like things to be done well, and if I can do better or I can find someone else who can do it better, then why settle for something lesser? And if no-one else is going to step up to the plate and take charge, I will.
Still, I gotta ease back on the fandom projects. Fandom this year is going to burn me out otherwise, with the spoilers and the wank and the screaming tantrums and the panic attacks and the boycotts and the abject and utter stupidity of the human race - collective and individual.
Sanity may be overrated, but there are times when it's a bloody relief.
