x. Hi. After what seems like a very long hiatus we are back onto regular posting, which started last week. And we have something to celebrate, which is that we are well over 300 readers. 334 to be exact. Thank you for all the kind comments that have been floating around lately, and the huge amounts of pimping, it's really nice to see that kind of thing.
For those who are new and haven't gotten a chance to look around there are a couple of links to point out:
1. The FAQ. If you have a question about something, please check the FAQ before commenting or emailing the editors. It makes us a lot less huffy. There is also info about how you can help out and how we rec.
2. Guide to Fandom (1) and Guide to Fandom (2) are great resources if you are new to fandom and are looking for quality archived links.
3. All these links plus a couple more interesting links can be found in the memories section of this community.

Welcome!

Dude, Gloss wrote an Angel/Oz called The Party That Time Forgot (http://www.livejournal.com/users/glossing/145478.html#cutid1). Most excellent. NC-17. Check it out.

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Will add.

[mellindrax.livejournal.com]

You guys deserve all the praise you get.

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

We really really appreciate all of it, thank you.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

Excellent post! I've stuck it in my memories. I can't wait to read that Xander/QaF cross-over.

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

:D It's excellent, at least in my opinion. And thank you!

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

Thank you for saying so, much appreciated.

[cityphonelines.livejournal.com]

Xander QaF Xover? I heart you.
Awesome catch-up. Are you exhausted?
*sits you in the comfy chair*

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

! Adis hearts me, that's squee worthy.

::snuggles with you::

[ex-dovil323.livejournal.com]

Just joining in with the love. I do five links and I'm passing out on the floor feeling all accomplished. But you guys do such a brilliant job in pointing me to things I wouldn't otherwise get to see or know about - yay! :D

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

:D Passing out from accomplishment, awesome. Trust me, we pass out to, or at least I do sometimes. Thank you!

[moireach.livejournal.com]

Eee, you have pimped us! Thank you so much! :)

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

You are quite welcome!

[singer-d.livejournal.com]

If you use this journal often and it helps, or if you find something you really like, think I'm doing something well, or bad, comment or email me. I would love feedback and opinions.
Yay you!

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

:) Thanks.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

You know I love that thing you do. And for the QaF/Xander crossover rec - an extra squee!

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

That seems to be a big hit around here. I hope it starts a trend. That was a hint for you to write QAF/BtVS by the way.

[denny-dc.livejournal.com]

Congrats on reaching 300, and mucho thanks for the rec of destiny and dust. I'd also like to bring to your attention eyesthatslay. Just found a few of her icons, and I think they are wonderful. Mostly, however, I wanted to say thanks and congrats. This is a very cool news sheet that I refet to often.

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

You are welcome, and thank you. I'll certainly check her out.

[rachelmap.livejournal.com]

*stares*

You mentioned my fic?

*stares some more*

This is good, right?

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

Hee. Yes I did. And yes, it is good, great even.

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

Wow. I was pimped. Very awesome.
