Missed my first day here. Sorry. The rest of the week should go smoother.

Author: Primsong
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 924
Author's Summary: Ian doesn't dance. Or does he? An interlude among alien foliage and moonlight.
Characters/Pairings: Barbara/Ian, with Vicki cameo
Warnings: Fluff

Recced because: It's a sweet little moment in time for Ian and Barbara. A quite walk with an unexpected alien encounter leads to adorable fluffiness from Ian. Fun interlude that makes me smile.

TORONTO — This year's Gemini Awards will salute CTV's "Corner Gas," Showcase's "Trailer Park Boys," and CBC's "Royal Canadian Air Farce" to mark the end of each show's final season.

The comedies all recently wrapped acclaimed runs, and the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television says cast members from each show will be on hand to accept a special award.

One "Gas" alum already confirmed to attend is Gabrielle Miller, who will be a presenter.

Other celebrities dropping by include Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, who guest starred on "Trailer Park Boys," "Glee" star Cory Monteith, "Flashpoint" star Hugh Dillon and "Being Erica" star Erin Karpluk.

The Gemini Awards, which celebrate the best in Canadian television, take place Saturday in Calgary.

The bash will be broadcast on Global and Showcase.

Pre-Veteran's Day
by Nea ([info]neadods)
at November 10th, 2009 (06:43 pm)

If I post at all about my activities tomorrow, it's going to be to talk fluff, because tomorrow is for running errands and cleaning up and cooking and freezing ahead for Christmas. Simple, normal, everyday, boring stuff.

But I get the day off to do it in in memory of those who have served in our armed forces, so before I go back to being busily self-centered, I want to thank those who've made it possible for me to be so.

To the veterans reading this, most especially my friends reading this.

To the man who leads the local clinic escorts.

To my father and grandfather and assorted male forbears back to the Revolution and probably before that.

It's a tough job and it takes tough people to do it.

Thank you.

Help Wanted - final call and how we do what we do
by Scarlett Girl ([info]scarlettgirl)
at November 10th, 2009 (08:54 am)

Due to mitigating circumstances (hello not!swine flu!) we are extending the deadline for accepting newsletter editor applications until Monday, Nov. 16. We also wanted to take the opportunity to give a short primer on how we create the newsletter in case there are individuals who are interested in applying but are hesitant because they don't know the process.

As an editor, your job is to scan the newsletter watchlist - [info]whodaily- for items that qualify for inclusion in the newsletter. The watchlist is a dummy LJ that has friends list comprised of individuals and communities who participate in fandom. Each link is then dropped into its appropriate category on the newsletter. There are several ways in which to actually construct the newsletter and each editor has their own preference. Some brave souls hand-code and create an lj post, others use a template and client approach, typically a saved Semagic file. In addition, there is an Excel spreadsheet created by a former editor with macros built in so you can merely copy and paste and let Excel generate the format.

What items you link are based on criteria set forth in the editor guidelines. We are an inclusive newsletter and link fic, discussion, art, icons, etc. Our criteria for linking are broad and only call in "editorial prerogative" in rare cases, typically when a fic header does not contain enough information to create a link or if an post is not substantive. For example - an episode reaction consisting simply of "I loved it!" would probably not get linked while an episode reaction with more substance would.

As an editor you will become a member of the editorial community [info]satellite_five where we come together to discuss issues and concerns and, on occasion, effect policy. All editors, regardless of status, have full participation rights at the community.

If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to leave a comment or email me at scarlettagain@gmail.com. If you would like to apply for an editor position, leave a comment at this post.

Thank you!
