jadesfireIt's going to be a funny old day. I have lots of stuff to get done, both fannish and work-related, and I also got this email in my inbox:
"Hi Jade,
I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has been short-listed for inclusion in the sixth edition of our Schmap Oxford Guide, to be published mid-December 2008.
http://www.schmap.com/shortlist/p=26235694N00/c=SJ1002121
Clicking this link will take you to a page where you can:
i) See which of your photos has been short-listed.
ii) Submit or withdraw your photo from our final selection phase.
iii) Learn how we credit photos in our Schmap Guides.
iv) Browse online or download the fifth edition of our Schmap Oxford Guide.
While we offer no payment for publication, many photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as Schmap Guides give their work recognition and wide exposure, and are free of charge to readers. Photos are published at a maximum width of 150 pixels, are clearly attributed, and link to high-resolution originals at Flickr."
It's a photo of the Ashmolean that I took for the "ask me for a picture" meme a while back. Considering how rubbish I am at taking photos, it's a bit of a surprise! I've never heard of Schmap, but I'm inclined to say yes unless anyone knows why I shouldn't...
Also, have I mentioned recently how awesome my work are? No? Well, since I'm sitting here basking in the glow of my lightbox, I really should have! It's tiny but very bright and I'm just trying to work out how to position it so that I feel the benefit without blinding myself. Something tells me that's important. ETA: Okay, I've only had it 45 minutes, and I'm already in love with it. Completely. It's tiny but oh, so bright. *basks*
In other news,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greyias and are having too much fun. Seriously, you let two crack-inclined writers write together and anything could happen. I hope to get a big chunk of that fic done to today so that Grey's Photoshop efforts aren't wasted. *rubs hands together* This should be fun.
In between that, I'm working on the Wizard of Oz fusion, because it amuses me, and my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sga_santa fic. Yuletide is lurking at the back of my brain but I'm going to need help for that one, I think, once I work out who to email for it!
And finally:
Voting on Round 3 of LFWS! I ended up being reasonably pleased with my entry this time, despite all the restrictions. See if you can spot me, and do leave some votes. Comments are now optional, so you don't need to give long justifications if you don't want to. Having said that, writers love feedback, and some useful stuff has come out of it, so do think about saying why you voted as you did, even if you don't comment on every story.
How's everyone else? And where are the the links to your wishlists, hmmm? I swear, I love giving presents even more than I love getting them :)
Have a good day, folks.
