In the Mood for a Holiday

[agdhani.livejournal.com]

Preloading this...so lets see if it works. Never scheduled a post before. (and it didn't post...no idea why...so lets try this again)

It's the time of the year to think of escape...midsummer vacation, Christmas holiday, or the chance to get away from the old year and old life and start over somewhere new...

As such, I've compiled a collection of exotic locations to wisk you (or your favorite writing muses/characters) away from the mundane. Pick a number between 1 and 30...(or more than one if you're daring), and I'll give you the photo that corresponds. In return, you give us 200 words (or more to up the yearly wordcount) or 3 icons. Sounds simple, right?

As I know the holidays are sucking away so much spare time, there's no pressure to complete. Get something in by the end of the month, and in return I'll add 200 words to my WIP...or can get you some festive icons (or fandom icons) if you prefer :)

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Say What Friday

Hola peeps. Happy Friday.

It's thirteen days until Christmas...hooray!

Today's quote/challenge is another twist.

Take the song 12 Days of Christmas and substitute different things for the partidge, the turtle doves, etc...

Bonus points for incorporating your new creation into a fic or graphic.

Go worth and spread the holiday cheer.

One of my favorite shows from this summer! I hate that I still don't know if it will be back. I wish NBC would get with the program and let us know.

Happy, Merry everyone! It's time for simplyn2deep to receive her Swap of Joy fic.  I took up her request for something with Danny and Steve retiring to focus on their restaurant, and Charlie being around them more now.

Hope you enjoy, and here's to a great end of the year for all. :)
