spn_summergen is over for the year. Well...almost. I have two duties left: to post the master-list and to post the prompts which opens the free-for-all. Both of these will be done on Thursday, and then I'll be free to do other things.

I love summergen, but it exhausts me. My co-mod going awol without so much as a warning did not help, this year. I can do it alone - I did, and have before - but it's amazing how much pressure just a little help can lift off my shoulders. But this is about to turn into a moan, so I'll stop there.

I must remember to post my own list of faves, too. We had some brilliant stories this year. What I love so much about summergen is the amazing variety of stories that turn up: everything from hilarious crack!fic to heartbreaking moments, from plotty case fics to chilling horror, from sweet curtain!fics to clever crossovers.

Applications for transfer posts at work closed on Friday. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please. I know I'm perfect for the post I applied for (it's analysing website stats) but it's the kind of post where the manager likely already has a candidate in mind. If that's the case here my chances go down even if I'm better qualified. As it's a level transfer they don't even have to interview so I might not know until I get an offer, or not.

The Guardian posted one of those fun "test your knowledge" quizzes about the Twilight saga. I am amused as hell that they filed it under children's books. And slightly ashamed that I got 10/10. Damn my near-photographic memory! (for those who don't know - no I am absolutely NOT a fan. But how can I trash talk the books if I haven't read them?)
