Logging in and seeing all the Big Bang writing challenges on my flist makes me shake my head at how much damn time I spend on Facebook nowadays. I used to hate FB and now...well it's like outreach for me: people I know in real life post things and sometimes I like them and sometimes they like things I post. And I can't complain because it's not ( Read more... ) -
