Tsunami of Polls: We moved back into the restored apartment....

[red_satin_doll]

......and my first "official" act in fandom was to:

[Poll #1965322][Poll #1965322]

And the correct answer is....


#5! Yup, a massive, massive fail on my part.  Actually, all of the choices represent a massive fail on my part, except for the last choice for which I DO NOT APOLOGIZE.
(She was mentioning how a character in her new novel has an opportunity to mindwipe the memories of another and doesn't because he respects her too much and it's not what she would want. Also, she just began watching btvs S1 at my urging and is NOT impressed with Angel or Xander. At all.) I actually spent hours making icons for slayerstillness challenge #22 "A Room Full of Emptiness" (Negative Space)" ("Ooh, I can do this one!"); hours dithering over which to chose before deciding to actually ask my beta wickedbish for help; and then failed to send him the link to the Photobucket folder so he could actually see the icons. By the time I figured out my mistake, it was too late to enter the challenge. (And I'm a little pissed at myself, because I think I made some good icons and really enjoyed getting back into the creative flow for the first time in weeks.)

But at least I manage to vote as the deadline isn't until tomorrow (midnight your time) hence still time to vote and pimp it - so there's a penance, at least.

And entries are being accepted for the latest challenge #23 (deadline Friday) so there's lots o' time left to enter. Yup, lots o' time....

The only fail more massive is #4 - I have NOT gotten around to congratulating all the winners of the Willowy Goodness Awards, including velvetwhip, snogged, foxstarreh, clockwork_hart1, tiny_white_hats, and snowpuppies amoung others. Congratulations to all the winners (by which I include "Runners Up" aka the silver and bronze medalists). I actually did vote in that one too and cheese on a cracker did you folks make it painfully hard to choose!

ETA:  ALL credit to the amazing eilowyn for urging me to watch Orphan Black, which I'd never heard of until she mentioned it.

But #6 IS the last option. Do you mean #5?

(And don't worry, it happens to us all.)

Hey! I got the right answer!

Sorry, though.

Oh, and thanks for the congratulations. You're a sweetheart!

I am so sorry that your efforts fell to shit. That sucks.

I am also sorry you haven't marathoned Orphan Black yet (but not as sorry as I am about the fact that here in England we don't even have a release date for series two even though it's already premiered on BBC America and I don't want to live stream it but DAMMIT I WILL IF I HAVE TO *ahem*)

And thank you for the congratulations. You are a beautiful soul

Well, if you haven't marathoned Orphan Black yet, then lucky you for still having that ahead of you, because it's awesome. I blazed through the entire season in 2 days. It's just about everything Dollhouse should have been, except completely different in every single way, if that makes sense.

Orphan Black is SO GREAT. I'm really happy it's back.

Huu icons! I'm gonna vote now. Pity that I won't see yours.

You should totally watch The Good Wife and Doctor Who. (Because I also watch them. LOL) I think you would like both shows, especially the first one. I would also love to see the post about depressed slayers and vegeance demons. SO MUCH. Here to read it.

Congrats on your moving back!

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

Hee-- I picked that one, mostly because it sounded like something I'd do myself. LOL!

[foxstarreh.livejournal.com]

Well, I guessed correctly. Not sure if that's a yay for me or not.

I did want to vote on Orphan Black, though, because that's the one that should be happening. =)

As the beta in question, I can absolutely confirm that the icons you made (and eventually sent in my general direction) were freaking excellent.

As per usual.

[comlodge.livejournal.com]

See, I knew the correct answer but I was just hoping for something a lot more fun and outrageous even if it actually just ended up a love fest for all things fandom and we all sat around and chewed the fat on world savage or rewrote the history of woman or even just made a kewpie doll. Still condolences on being human and stuffing up. At least you got the practice in. :D

Oh and you should, you know, post the icons so we can all admire. :D

[chic-c.livejournal.com]

Yay for moving back!!!!!

I thought about #5, but OB is just so good I hope you get to see it soon, s2 has just started and I'm already on the edge of my seat!

Looking forward to all the new icons! <3

*Shows up five hours late to the party*

I picked OB, because I know you and your sweetie watched the pilot together recently, but that was insider information.

The orgy sounds fun. kikimay has the cutest bras.

Orphan Black is everything Dollhouse and Ringer tried to be but not. I think the Canadians win this round.

I am delighted that elisi introduced you to Who's signature inter-species Victorian lesbian couple. They're very pretty together, aren't they?

You and kwritten make pretty icons, and it was fun listening in while you talk shop.

And I spoiled my friends for "Surprise/Innocence" because I thought "Angel loses his soul" was one of those widely-known pop culture things like "soylent green is people" and "Bruce Willis was dead the whole time." It was probably also mean-spirited on my part because I got sick of them sighing over Angel when I made them watch BtVS. Less justified than spoiling IWRY for righteous indignation reasons.

Wait a minute. How can #1 possibly be a wrong answer? :)
