Pimping. And other stuffs.

- My last rec post for crack_van. Well, that's my month over and done with, and hopefully it pointed some people in the direction of some good fic they hadn't read before. I wonder who's on for November?

- mina_de_malfois has updated! Yes, a bit more Mina is always good for the soul. And the amusement value. Also, I'd keep an eye on the footnotes when they are next updated, if I were you...

- There has been an infestation of pink icons in fandom as of late. So, courtesy of nostalgia_lj, I decided to join the crowd. ;)

- The Teaspoon is down. This makes me emo, because despite the fact that the quality of fic there seems to be going downhill rapidly, there were a few quite good fics I was following, and now I can't see if they have updated.

- Next Links List will be late. Partially due to crack_van, partially due to the Teaspoon downage, and partially because I am too lazy for my own good.

Oh, and Doctor Who won some awards. Most Popular Drama (I think), and Tennant and Piper got ost Popular Actor and Actress respectively. Go Teh Show.

Trust me on this, having a spelling policy is not a particularly wanky thing. So long as it's only spelling that really gets moderated - not for subject matter - it couldn't be considered wanky. There'd still be an lot of awful fic get in, but at least it'd be coherantly awful.

But, yeah, it'd all come down to whether you can get the people who have the time to do it, and some clear guidelines for what would be required. (Hell, even if you don't change things, having a prominent list of spelling betas around might be handy).

I think we got distracted from spelling plans by technical things, but once we work again courtesy of the shiny people who do tech I shall check and see if we can compile a betas list. Because I think we could make that seem Good by highlighting the It Will Get You Read More aspect.

Well, technical stuff of course has to take priority over the more superficial things. Because having some obvious betas hanging around can only be good for the average level of coherancy.

Oh, bitter irony...

Good for anaemia, though. That's a plus. Although it probably doesn't make up for the giant bottle of unconsumed iron capsules by my bed.

I must try not to forget my iron tablets.

I hope one day to take enough to become magnetic like Ian McKellen.
