Last call for SGA Genficathon!

Signups will close tomorrow night, Sunday at midnight Alaska time (Monday morning everywhere else in the world), so time is running out to sign up for [livejournal.com profile] sga_genficathon. Right now, we have quite a lot of writers signed up for Friendship (meaning that if you ask for Friendship at this point, you are likely not to get it), and the categories of AU and Humor are looking a bit unloved.

Thank you very much to everyone who's signed up so far! It looks like we're getting a good turnout for the second year in a row -- not quite up to last year's numbers, but last year quite a few of the initial signups dropped out, and most of the people who've signed up so far this year are pretty good about meeting deadlines, so I'm very optimistic about this year's 'thon. :)

I was just reading about the fires on the news here. :( That's so awful - I hope that everyone you love is safe.

My cousin lost her house but we're rallying around her.
What I'm struggling with is the death of Brian Naylor (http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25027065-5005961,00.html) and his wife. He was the Channel 9 newsreader from 1978 to 1998. I grew up watching this man. He even had his own slogan for the news "Brian told me." I never met him but I feel like he was part of my life and I guess for twenty years from the time I was ten, he was.
It's just a weird feeling.

In my mind, this does not compute! C'mon people... funny's not that hard. Just have them suddenly fall down a hole. It's hilarious - trust me!

Awww, poor unloved genres. Won't anyone give them a home?
