Sorry for the kind of off-topic nature, but hey, LXG deserves representation, right?

My dear friend

valerious013 has established a new icon community,

themedstillness. It's multi-fandom. Basically, each week there will be a theme, and members submit icons from any fandom they like which correspond with the theme. Right now there's only four members, but once she has (I believe) ten, she'll start setting the themes. After the submission deadline for each icon theme, members will have the opportunity to vote on the icons they like best.

I know there's lots of creative icon-makers floating around here, so I thought I'd mention it. Hope to see some of you there!

Hey guys!

For anybody of you who's interested:

I just opened a new lj-community about our dear cute hottie Jason as Dr. Henry Jekyll / Mr. Edward Hyde in "The league of Extraordinary Gentlemen". Just couldn't help myself, I adore him (of course not only) in that role! xD

So anyone wants to check it out go and click

jaseflem_jekyll for further information.

Hope to see you, soon!

Cheers,

*~Mrs. Nilson~*

Not sure if this was mentioned here before, but just in case, I'd like to direct your attention to

lxg_stillness, the LXG icon contest community run by

valerious013. It's a lot of fun, but it needs more participants, so please give it a look -- and feel free to vote in the current competition, which is icons of Captain Nemo.

Coming soon: A League of Ordinary Gentlemen

Nothing to do with LXG, but the title sure made me do a double take.

If anyone didn't see it, I just posted a new bit of news on the website's main page.

I never really thought that I'd have to say this, but it looks as if I was mistaken.

Please don't merely post an author's note saying that you'll have the first chapter of a story finished sometime in the future. Wait until you have something to post before you upload it to the site.

This has also been added to the list of rules.

Hey, this is still

mayhemme. I transferred ownership of this community to my fanfic-specific LJ. Just a head's up. :)

Question: The Harry Potter fandom has mini-Aragogs for when characters' names are misspelled... and LotR has mini-Balrogs.

So.

When someone misspells the name of an LXG character in fic, does that create a mini-Dante Beast? Or a mini-Alien-thingy? Or a mini-Hyde? Any thoughts?

(If this is OT, I shall get rid of it immediately.)

I apologize for the rather off-topicness of this post, but we ARE writers, and this IS about writing, so...yeah. I was excited and had to share. Feel free to skip it if you want.

Er--I'm really sorry about this, but I tried posting "Whisper Words" on the LXF, and again it's cheerfully clumping into a block of text. Help?

I hereby present my "WHAT?" moment of the bloody year.

I don't read romance, so to me, the name Gail Dayton doesn't mean a whole lot. Perhaps it might to some of you. To me, Gail Dayton is another one of the women who frequents the message boards at Tony Curran Online. But the fact is that she's a fairly prolific, well-known author.

And today she read my LXG fan fiction.

And this is what she had to say:

Okay, Norbert, why are you writing fan fiction? Your stuff is Good. (I love your dialog--especially Skinner's cute lines.)

Yeah, there's not too much market for things written in Victorian diarist style--but there could be. It's sort of historical chick lit...

Write NEW things that could be made into movies for our man to play in.

Or, you know--whatever. It's your choice. Yeah, it's hard to make the switch from fan to original, but you've got the skills. You ought to make the leap. It is possible.

I should know. (my website is at gaildayton.com if you want to see why) Though when I was writing fan fiction, there was no such thing as the internet and it didn't even have an official name...but it's great practice for writing your own stuff.

Okay, once more, with clarity: A well-read author of published romance fiction has just praised my fanfic.

Am I on Candid Camera?

Here's a thought sort of specific to movie!League fandom...

What rules do you use for Mina's vampirism?

I've never been a fan of overpowering vampires; if the protagonists are supposed to be fighting them, it makes things too impossible, if the protagonists are vampires, too many fancy schmancy abilities make the readers lose interest.

We know from the film that Mina can change into bats-- turning into a bat is a fairly standard trick; turning into a whole group* of them seems a way of keeping that olde-worlde flair while at least giving lip service to conservation of energy. (Turning into one's body weight in bats.) She's resistant to sunlight, drinks blood, falls down real good but doesn't die if you put a sword through her heart, and has inhuman strength and speed. She heals instantly... and frankly I'm not sure if she can fly herself or has to do the bat-trick to do it. I'd have to watch the movie again.

Maybe it's just me, but those look like pretty standard Byronic traits. Dracula-- in the novel, not working from any movie-- could stand sunlight, control 'lower creatures', specifically wolves and rats*, and could also transform, though into a mist, not a whatever of bats. Like Mina, his eyes turned red while on the hunt. Bullets, as I recall, had little effect in stopping him. A stake through the heart had to be employed. It certainly looks to me as though the film followed the source novel (albeit probably by accident). True, she was supposed to have been cleansed of vampirism at the end of Dracula, but I can think of a few ways that could have gone wrong, or failed to be effective.

So. What does everyone else think? Does Mina have to obey the classic vampire rules, or is she of a more modernized sort? Certainly she's not one of the old vrykolakes. Someone would have mentioned the smell.

*does anyone know what you call a group of bats? Flock just sounds funny, as does pack.

*this should make me nervous. My sister's dog is part wolf and I just rescued a juvenile rat from her cat.

*waves anxiously* Hi, hi, I'm Soujin Prouvaire (and my main fandom shouldn't be too hard to guess, considering the gratuitous reference).

I'm going to be a posting author at LXF, but I'm having trouble with the formatting. I've tried [ b r ][ / b r ], and just normal spacing down, but it doesn't seem to be working, and my thing is coming out a block of text.

Does anyone know what I should be doing? Thanks! ^_^

My day has been made.

Hell, my whole year has just been made.

Our very own Stargazer (

serena_inverse), who is one of my very favorite readers, knows how much I love both Skinner and Ron Weasley from Harry Potter. So she sent me the most delightful present.

I am the luckiest fan fiction writer in the world.

Hey guys,

I've been made the new owner/maintainer of

lxg_fanfiction, and my first act as benevolent dictator is to establish an annual set of awards for LXG fanfic. Why? Because we deserve them, and there weren't any.

You don't have to be a member of the community to nominate stories for the awards, so if you've got a favorite story that you think deserves a prize, hop on over and leave a comment with the relevant info (title, author, link, and category in which you're nominating). Please feel free to spread this information in other LXG communities as well. Thanks!

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it!

If you add up the hit counts at Fanfiction.net (currently 919) and at the League of Extraordinary Fanfiction (currently 86), my first LXG story has been read more than one thousand times. It's only about a month old!

That's...incredible. I can't even find words to describe how unbelievably awesome this makes me feel. If there were awards for fanfiction, like the Hugo or the Edgar, I suppose this is sort of how it would feel to win one.

I hope I'm not coming off as bragging. I was just so excited and I had to share with people who would understand -- most of my friends don't. :)
