Some small-ish updates. Medium sized, really.

Some small-ish updates. Medium sized, really.

Bit of an update to the directory today. I added a new layout, which I think looks nicer. Hopefully you all agree. I also added quite a few new links, although quite a few are still broken for complicated Wayback Machine reasons that I hope will be resolved soon. So I do apologize if you click on any of those. Still, we’re up to 4283 links, if you count the ones that don’t quite work at the moment. Not too shabby.

Also, I wanted to remind everyone that it’s almost exactly four days until Wintry Remix sign ups start. NaNoWriMo starts just a bit over eight days after that, so it’s shaping up to be a pretty busy rest of the year. I wouldn’t have it any other way!

A review… and a challenge.

A review… and a challenge.

Not in one, though. Two separate things.

I’ve decided, at least for now, to post whatever reviews I have on exactly the fifteenth of each month. Once I get back to doing my own reviews, it could take longer to complete them, but I doubt that. And even though a few stories in series I was reading have been finished since August, I’ve decided to stick with my plan to be on a review hiatus until January.

But luckily my guest reviewers aren’t on my schedule. This month, Elizabeth has submitted a review of Kindred 3: The Musicians by Aimster. You’ll find that listed under the Anthem era.

Also, you may have noticed that I’ve added a new site to PTH. It’s a Christmassy, Secret Santa fic remix challenge. Because that’s not a mouthful or anything. It’s called Wintry Remix, and you can click that link to check it out. I know we’ve never done anything like it in hanfic before, but I think it could be really fun. Sign ups don’t start until October 27, so you still have time to give it some thought and maybe even finish a fic or two so that you qualify to participate.

Those are the updates for today, but I’m already brainstorming the spotlights. Check back for those in two weeks!

Oops…

Oops…

You guys, I really need a daily planner.

I use Evernote to help organize all my stuff for this site, but when it comes to the day-to-day to do lists, I’m really shit out of luck at the moment. I joke with one of my friends that I’m just an old lady with no memory, but it’s apparently not that much of a joke.

I prepped these spotlights way in advance, and yesterday something was really nagging at me, something that I knew I was supposed to do, but just could not remember. Well… it was the spotlights.

So, without further ado or delay, the October spotlights are:

Check back later this month for more updates that hopefully won’t be delayed!

New reviews

New reviews

I did say I wasn’t going to stop doing reviews, right? Well, I may be running a few days late, but I do have two new guest reviews for you today. In the future, I’ll try to get them posted a bit closer to the fifteenth of the month. This month, I just so happened to finish one of my own fics a bit after that, so I waited for Elizabeth to submit her review.

Anyway, the guest reviews this month are both by Elizabeth. She has reviewed Kindred 2: The Lawyer by Aimster and Kiss and Tell by yours truly. You can find both of those reviews under the Anthem era.

Check back on October 15 to see if I have any more guest reviews for ya 🙂 I’m still on a little bit of a reading break, although I am still keeping up with a few favorite in progress stories.

A day late and a dollar short

So, I guess I got a little too excited about having spotlights to post for September. So excited that I forgot to post about them here. Oops!

Without any further ado, the September spotlights are:

  • Author: Rhoda Nightingale
  • Story: Mad World by Katie

Those are some pretty good ones, if I do say so myself! So what are you waiting on? Go check ’em out.
