 | 12:26 pm - DC Fic Archive hits 100
Hi! Just wanted to let everyone know that the Dawson's Creek Fic Archive has hit 100 links!
The archive houses links to DC fanfiction on LiveJournal and is hosted by the web-based bookmarking site Delicious. Fics are easily searchable because they're tagged with the characters appearing, pairings featured and other identifying aspects.
I never imagined I'd get this far with the whole project so I'm really pleased! Thank you to all the fic writers out there for sharing your stories with us. If you know of any fics that aren't in the archive, or just want more information on the project, visit the support community ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) dcficarchive.
In celebration of the 100 mark, here's some stats about the archive:
- The most popular character is Pacey, with 58% of the fics featuring him.
- Dawson is shipped with the most people; 12% of fics feature him and another person. Those people being: Jen, Joey, Joey & Pacey, Oliver and Pacey.
- Dawson's Creek has been crossed with five other fandoms and six per cent of fics in the archive are crossovers.
- All the series are represented, but series 3 is the most popular and series 4 and 5 are the least.
More stats can be found HERE.

 | 01:31 pm - something funny and kinda sweet
I've meant to post a little... essay... Ross Bender wrote about seeing us at the Kimmel Center in December for Wagner. The first time Ross Bender wrote about us, I was somewhat mortified; it was long before our relationship was public, and he somehow, without realizing it, by simply using his rapier wit, sniffed us out.
And, if in doubt about the tone, it's meant to be very tongue in cheek.

 | 06:52 am - In the land of the something something, wolves and picnic baskets whatever
I'd been hoping to get some photography in during the last week or so but didn't really. But finding my neighbors, the Axelrods, home on New Years eve and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) trillian_stars off figure skating, I jumped at the opportunity to stop slacking for an hour. pjschnyder had me thinking about Little Red Riding Hood already and when J.R. showed up in a red dress, getting the wolf suit out of the closet seemed obvious.

Who knows what my neighbors think of me, tromping around the yard with body parts and wolves.

| 12:44 pm - Stop those annoying LJ ads!
LJ gave me, (an every other paid/permanent account holder) ten half-off coupons for an lj paid account.
Here's how it works:
* You need to be a basic or plus user.
* The coupon will let you upgrade for one year for $9.95 if
you enroll in the automatic payment plan (like I'm going to be
a member from now on, bill me every year)
OR
* You can upgrade to a one year paid account for $15
(Normally the automatic-payment accounts are $19.95 and the one year plans are $25)
SO:
First ten people who respond to this post and ask for an upgrade coupon get one.
ALSO: If you're a paid/permanent account holder and you still have invites to give away please feel free to follow up in this post that you have extras.
(If you don't know if you have coupons to give away or know nothing about this, Instructions & info are Here in this news post.)
Inre the big lj-advisory post -- I still have questions about two of the items, and the u.s. staff is on vacation till next week, so I'm holding off on the post until I get some clarification.
happy new year folks.
(also -- if you're one of those etsy people who sell greeting cards or you work for a container importer, i'm looking for a source for hinged-lid (or something else clever and cool) card boxes in bulk (about A6 size and in quantities of ~500) something like this would be awesome. Drop me a line, there's a reward if you know of the right source.)

 | 05:36 pm - 2009/2010 -- the Future!
2009 wasn't the difficult year for me that it was for so many of my friends; in fact, it was one of the most rewarding years of my life.
I've been acting consistently in satisfying, juicy roles, and I married my dear kylecassidy. 2009 was a good year and I kissed it goodbye knowing I'd always remember it fondly.
2009 was also the year we met so many incredible new friends -- I'm still amazed and delighted so many joined us for our post-wedding celebration. There are some (few) people you meet and sense an immediate bond -- there's no doubt in my mind but that we've met some life-long friends over the past year.

I've a feeling 2010 will only get better, not just for us, but for you as well.
Happy New Year!

| 05:05 pm - ten years in two seconds
For ten years now, starting in 1999, I've taken a self portrait at midnight on new years eve -- the exposure starts one second before midnight and continues one second after midnight -- in there somewhere is the invisible change from the old year to the new and me a little older.
Here we are -- December 31, 2009 - January 1, 2010

It seems fitting to remember him in this video we made on New Years Eve 2006. Auld Lang Syne.

| 01:58 am - 2009 Book List
1) Animal Vegetable Miracle: Barbara Kingsolver (Had trouble finishing this because her tone is so self-congratulatory. I don't think I want to read any of her other non-fiction.)
2) I Want the Stars: Tom Purdom (lively, intelligent science fiction with interesting characters; strong female personalities. I would read it again.)
3) The March: E. L. Doctorow (Civil War saga -- its historical accuracy was doubtful and I didn't like a single character. I wanted Sherman to pummel them into the ground.)
4) Penelope: Penelope Farmer (by the author of "Charlotte Sometimes" -- she always touches on the concept of reincarnation and self-discovery in this life and the ones that came before. "Penelope" was for a much younger reader, but well-constructed.)
5) Unless: Carol Shields (the book wore me out. not in a good way.)
6) The Perilous Gard: Elizabeth Marie Pope (Kyle bought this for me because he loved it when he was growing up, and it was fabulous! So beautifully written. Pope only wrote two novels and was an historian so the historical accuracy (always important to me) is unquestionable. There's Elizabethan England and malevolent fairies; what could possibly be better??? I highly recommend it for any age.)
7) The Sherwood Ring: Elizabeth Marie Pope (I liked the first book so much, I immediately bought this one and read it. This has Revolutionary War era ghosts, which is also pretty cool. But I found them all a little too verbose. In my opinion, ghosts should be seen and not really heard, unless they're dropping things on the floors and slamming doors. Still, a beautifully written, moving novel.)
8) Flashman: George MacDonald Fraser (Oh, Flashman. What is there to say? Kyle and I read this together, out loud, so I'm sharing the reader's credit with him. We read it because all Kyle's science fiction pals raved about Flashman, and we were not disappointed! We are now reading "Royal Flash" -- I mean, what's not to love? He's selfish, cowardly, sexist, lazy... and completely honest about every last sin. I love him! "This is no place for Flashman!" needs to be on a t-shirt.)
9) The Time Traveler's Wife: Audrey Niffenegger (The best novel I've read in years -- I can't remember the last time I was so swept up in a story and the drama of a fictional situation. I want to sit down with the author and ask her how she did it. It's an ambitious and insanely complex novel, and I can't believe anyone actually wrote it.)
10) The Brass Bed: Jennifer Stevenson (fun, sexy romp)
11) Flora Segunda: Ysabeau S. Wilce (Wonderful, delightful "YA fantasy" novel with a spunky female protagonist and magical, banished butlers -- the more I read, the more I loved. The second book is equally good and felt like a seamless continuation of the first.)
12) Letters of a Woman Homesteader: Elinore Pruitt Stewart (Oh, to receive letters such as these, in any era! It did my Wyoming heart good to read them; our edition is illustrated by NC Wyeth too!)
13) Never Let Me Go: Kazuo Ishiguro (Wow -- this book had more twists and turns than a tub full of eels (I had to brainstorm with Kyle for that analogy) -- and it kept me on the edge of my seat, for purely psychological reasons. A frightening glimpse into the future... or perhaps the present...?)
14) Flora's Dare: Ysabeau S. Wilce (Yay! The fun continues! Thank goodness for trilogies!)
15) Fathers and Sons: Ivan Turgenev (I read this in college, but enjoyed it so much more the second time around -- being older now, I found myself relating to the fathers... and enjoying the descriptive passages Turgenev weaves.)
16) Coraline: Neil Gaiman (Far creepier than I'd expected; he does have such a way with words and images. My skin felt prickly.)
17) Up a Road Slowly: Irene Hunt (I'd remembered this one from my childhood; I'd always remembered little flashes from it. It was like revisiting the place where I grew up.)
18) Forever and Ever, Amen: Becoming a Nun in the Sixties: Sister Karol Jackowski (I wonder what Sister Mary Catherine would think of this one! What an eye-opener. Sort of.)
19) The God of Small Things: Arundhati Roy (An incredible, heartbreaking book that took me nearly a year to finish. Many people had recommended it to me, and I'm so glad they did -- my life feels richer because of it.)
20) The Court of Stone Children: Eleanor Cameron (Another "Kyle recommends" book. I wish I had read it when I was a child because I've a feeling it would have inspired me. Perhaps I'd be the curator of 19th Century French paintings now! Again, there were ghosts and intrigue.)
21) The Book Thief: Markus Zusak (A beautiful and moving book that took my breath away -- I had trouble moving on to anything else after finishing it; it was so much more than anything I could have expected.)
22) A Big Storm Knocked It Over: Laurie Colwin (fascinating characters in a book where nothing really happens. I didn't mind the lack of conflict and strife, because the people themselves were people I'd like to know. It was fun to follow them around. Though I did get tired of the protagonist always whining "Maybe you should have married someone younger" to her doting husband.)
All in all, a very good book year; I would re-read most everything on the list.
