Ok here we go again. As the title says, we're hosting an Anti-Valentine Mini Fic-Exchange. What does that mean?
X) It's the same as any exchange. You sign up, you get to write a fic for the person I assign to you and you end up getting a fic from someone else. You are not allowed to tell any of the participants who you are writing for, it's supposed to be a surprise. As always, art is allowed too if your recipient  asked for it.

BUT
1) Anti-Valentine means you shouldn't go all fluff on your recipient (sorry lolitalockhart lol). This is mainly about dysfunctional relationships, controversial characters, angst, etc. Now, don't run away, it's not that bad, this is not about getting us all depressed, it's just for the sake of balance, to prove that February 14th isn't just about kissing couples and teddy bears with red hearts on their bellies.
2) It's a mini! Since we only have about a month I thought we should have a minimum of 500 words (instead of 1000). That's relatively easy to deliver even if you have no time/inspiration. 
3) Also, this time all fics will be posted on February 14th by the authors themselves. You won't have to send it to me before the deadline but I will hunt you down if you don't post it in time. No I won't but it would be great if I didn't have to remind anyone that their recipient is impatiently waiting for their fic.
4) At least one of the pairings you want to receive/write MUST include Lord Beckett but he doesn't have to be in all. Your recipient can decide then to choose a pairing with or without Beckett. If you do want to have Beckett in your fic but with the main pairing being something else, please indicate it clearly. :)

Schedule
Sign ups: until January 15th (Friday)
Assignments sent out: January 17th (Sunday)
Fics Deadline: February 14th (Sunday)

TUESDAY TOY STORY POST!


So cute, omg.

Here is the weekly post where members can post links to their own Trek-themed action figure/toy story posts. Now I know you all got figures for Christmas, so get 'em out, and make us laugh!

We recommend that you comment with a link to your journal, as opposed to posting all the pictures in a single comment. One picture as a preview is fine, though, as long as it's small.

Have fun! ♥

(Sorry this is a bit late for the Europe timezone. I ended up stuck waiting for a bus for over an hour today, in the snow, and with my newly acquired hypothermia, forgot about it!)

 Does anyone know where I can find an Amanda Seyfried moodtheme or can someone make one? I saw the Mamma Mia ones, but I'm looking for one of just her. Hopefully someone can help find one :)
Thanks!

I really do worry about the sanity of people sometimes.
I love Star Trek as much as the next person...but seriously.
The internet is full of some nutters.

I came across this article on blogspot which talks about
How the cast and characters of Star Trek
are reincarnations of crucial Historical figures!

Did you know that Leonard Nimoy is in fact the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln?
Of course...how did I not figure that out myself

Or maybe
William Shatner is actually King Henry VI?!

OH WOW! It's all coming together now!
How did I not work this put for myself...sheer genius...GENIUS!
(If you can gather there is some slight sarcasm in that last sentence)

The best parts are under the cut and the whole article link
But you must read it
 It is absolutely bonkers...I dont even know...I cannot grasp the logic.

( I need 10 Picards for the amount of facepalmage needed for this... )

Star Trek's JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof were nominated for the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures.

Most important line from the article? This gem:

"The big surprise isn't just "District 9" making the cut, but "Star Trek." To say Sony Pictures and Paramount have a real shot of getting both pictures into Oscar's top ten now is a bit of an understatement."

To The Powers That Be, I say, MAKE IT SO.

Title: The Relationship Delineation (Chapter 3 of ???)
Author: weasleytook

Pairing: Sheldon/Penny

A/N: This chapter made my brain explode, so just bear with me. It gets better from here I swear. Or I hope. When I get to the non-canon stuff anyway... *headdesks* I struggle... (I'm not fishing for praise, feel free to tear me apart. I'm just venting at how many times I re-wrote this section. Mrar.)

Previous chapters: 1 - 2

( I’m so getting a strike for that, aren’t I? )

Title: Harry Potter Saga [The Call]
Song: The Call by Regina Spektor
Subject: General Movies 1-6 (mainly trio)

Perhaps a bit posthumous, but I'm going to change my LJ to a Pushing Daisies layout and will probably attempt to make my own mood theme to go with it (that I'll post here when/if I get it done~ It's time consuming so no promises but I'll try!). I'm wondering if anyone knows of any websites left out there that still have high quality screencaptures that can be used?

Thanks in advance!
