No,not an epic fail to pursue the 31 days of blogging meme. Rather, a deliberate cessation to ponder the significance of being misread in the course of a casual entry made (and now deleted) to fill one of those 31 days with a passing notion that I wouldn't have even mentioned under non-meme circumstances. Better to be deleted than to be misunderstood.

Today's blog is for pimping a challenge : if this sounds like a thing that could be YOUR thing, check out the current "Canadian Blowjob Day Challenge" at http://ds-noticeboard.livejournal.com/1607148.html

Today is the birthday of demon_bride, a day of such import that I'm making this pronouncement my sole post for today.

Flailing about the Wrangulator'verse on AO3!

Here's what Fanlore says about Wrangulator : "The Wrangulator is an imaginary steampunk-inspired machine in which the AO3's tag wrangling team works. The universe was originally imagined in Campfire chat discussions, then established by jinjur in Forma, a tag wrangler RPF fic. Other tag wranglers quickly added stories to the Wrangulator'verse. Black Samvara created fanart of the Wrangulator in quiddity. Awils1 created corresponding RPF that featured the members of the Support team, set in the same timeframe."

Many of y'all have been doing the 31 days of blogging meme for August...well, blame it on one of those glitches in the space-time continuum, but I'm starting it on August 30 and going to September 30 for my 31 days of blogging. I I was just thinking about having attended my first VividCon earlier this month -- more awesomeness than I'm going to get into in one post -- but for today I'm going to make mention of having met Kandy Fong, "the mother of fanvids". Check this out : "Celebrating Kandy Fong : Founder of Fannish Music Videos" at http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/imr/2007/11/19/celebrating-kandy-fong-founder-of-fannish-music-video ; it includes Kandy's Star Trek slideshow that's considered to be the first-ever example of fannishly combining music with found footage.
