Sunday Salmagundi.

[gelbes_gilatier]

(isn't that a great word? I just found it on www.leo.org. Salmagundi. It is a word of the English language, I shit you not.)

So. I just noted down every birthday fic wish in Evernote and Google Calendar so that I can actually remember whose birthday is when and who needs to be reminded to clarify their wish a little *hugs virtual rememberalls In case anyone who'd really like fic for their birthday hasn't seen it yet, go here please. Comments are screened so don't be surprised if I don't answer. Rest assured I note everything down.

Also, for everyone who'd rather have my works in e-book file format, I started posting at AO3. I'll try to find a balance between posting new stuff and catching up with ff net and LJ in regard to old works. And yes, I know I said it before but I will get back to posting new chapters of Raising the Stakes, Odd Man Out, Big Girl and Not in Kansas Anymore.

I also finished pingulotta's prompt for the Holiday Fic Request Meme 2011 and will hopefully get around sending it to mackenziesmomma for beta and post it. I'm just not very happy with it and I'm too chicken to go back and edit it currently :S I'm probably halfway finished with mackenziesmomma's last prompt as well but honestly? Charlie and Anna apparently don't like me writing smut about them. Who would have thought. Anyway, after that it's two prompts left and I hope that my manager will clear the suckage HR sicced on me so I can get to writing those during my leave at the beginning of February at the latest. Fear not, I still have you on my mind, hanseatic_keks and apinkpanthress.

PS.: Did you know Amazon.de asks you to receive a package with NC-17 content personally, including ID and all that? I didn't, which is why I'll have to time ordering Generation Kill on DVD very carefully now *head desks

ETA: Apparently, ordering Generation Kill (which is actually not NC-17 rated but M... WTH?) from amazon.co.uk helps to circumvent this entire personally receiving fuck-up shit amazon.de makes people who order UK imports go through (also, it's 13€ less than when ordering it on amazon.de. Including shipping fees. What the flying fuck?). Which is to say, I'll hopefully get my DVDs tomorrow! \o/ Also, hanseatic_keks mentioned play.com as another possible source for UK import DVDs because apaarently, they don't add shipping fees, not even when sending to Germany. Will definitely check it out next time I'm ordering from the UK. Thanks for the hint!

What's really, really, really, really... really annoying is that you seem to have to do that for every single (UK) import now, too. The things I had to do to get the Doctor Who DVDs I wanted to give my brother to Christmas... *shakes head*

Also, yay for my Holiday Fic. *bounces*

Aaaaand the birthday fic is really, really tempting, you know... mhhhh. ;)

WTF, seriously? They said it was because GK is "frei ab 18"... Is DW rated equally high?

Please do ask for something :D

Nope. The cover says "15". I don't get it... I have several imported DVDs (and bought most of the other DW DVDs for my brother) and that has never been an issue before last year or so...

Please do ask for something :D

:D Okay. :D
I just don't want to drain you with all my requests, you know. ;)

That just confirms my suspicions that Amazon isn't only on the dark side but also on the weird side...

That's okay. I love writing Stargate but a little poaching now and then in other fandoms keeps the love fresh :D

Anscheinend wird alles, was kein FSK- Rating hat, automatisch als FSK-18 gewertet... aber ich weiss nicht, ob das eine Gesetzesänderung ist, dass sie einen Ausweis verlangen müssen oder freiwillig von Amazon eingeführt wurde.
