a. The stories were turned in for the takethehouse challenge, and dude, I haven't seen so much Ocean's Eleven ficton in one place since yuletide! I'm still working my way through the onslaught, but I think everyone should read deepsix's Every Day I Love You Less because it took like two years to get V to write this fandom and it's soooooo good. :D
b. It's come to my attention that there are people who don't know that ethrosdemon is a fucking amazing writer. I don't know where you people have been, but since she tends to disappear for large spans of time I won't hold that against you. Much. What I will tell you is that OMG she wrote me Ewan/Haydenand she's been writing this crazy smart The O.C. story that is the only reason I even wrote some myself. You can see me babble learn more about that here (with links too!)
c. If you haven't read bexless' heart-stoppingly hot emo boy story I dunno what rock you've been under.
