Today is a MOAR SNOW OH GOOD GRIEF day, and everything is still drenched in white out there. I too was drenched when I got to work, thanks to a two and a half mile walk from home. The latest pictures are all under the cut, and show just how thickly it was coming down here.
In other news, you know how it can be hard to find really good Genfic when you need it? Criminal Minds fandom, I'm looking at you in particular, but Torchwood, you've got nothing to be proud of. Anyway, apparently someone else feels the same, because prompts are now being taken for a Gen battle, along the lines of the regular Porm battles. Woot! Prompts are open until the 11th, posting opens on the 14th and the battle closes on the 28th. Loads of time!
Rules are here, leave prompts here and do give it a shout on your journal for any Genficcers. And if you don't normally write Gen, why not give it a go? The more fandoms, the merrier!

Date: 2009-02-06 12:09 pm (UTC)Yes, plug that gen battle! I've already left some TW prompts and am about to leave more (you can always spot me, even anon, as I'm the only one flying the flag for historical!TW). There really needs to be more gen out there, even if it's an alien concept for many these days! :D
(c'mon folks, leave some nice TW prompts so I'm not just writing from my own.... ;))

Date: 2009-02-06 12:15 pm (UTC)It's not just me noticing the lack of Gen, then? I mean, CM is appalling for finding any Gen, let alone the good stuff - I can count the authors on one hand, pretty much - but I've been getting the feeling that other fandoms are the same now. I honestly don't mind the volume of slash, but it'd be nice to have an equal volume of Gen. Mind you, we're still better off than the Het folks, who hardly seem to get a look in :S
(Hee! I left some for the women in my various fandoms, since my brain is still in
