Happy Birthday mustbethursday3!

I hope you have a truly wonderful day and eat plenty of cake!

Your present is coming soon <333333!

OMG I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow and I'm soooo excited! I can't believe that it has gone by so fast. I still have a bit to do, like pack and what not. But I'm just sooo looking forward to my trip!

So I guess it's Bon Vogage! I'll be posting my fic tomorrow morning and then I won't be on the internet as much as usual! I'll probably go on LJ, Tumblr and Twitter a little bit to update you all and catch up on all the gloss. I can't wait to actually watch Doctor Who live in the UK. I'm more excited about that really!

Thanks to rubber_glue for the virtual gift wishing me well <33333

Hello everyone!

Don't know if you were aware but this year I decided to be a cheerleader for the paperlegends Merlin Big Bang challenge! I had the privilege of working with two writers (one of whom dropped out unfortunlately!) Anyway, railise has finally posted her fic!
It's called Shadows and Stone and it features the A/G pairing.

Here is a summary: While Arthur and Gwen try to figure out where they stand, word reaches Camelot that Morgana seeks a powerful magic object to help her revive Morgause. The members of the
Round Table must find it before she can, for a crushing fate awaits the kingdom if they fail.

Please I encourage everyone to read it. It is awesome and the lovely hmsharmony also made a lovely trailer for the fic (which can found HERE!).

I just felt like pimping my friend mara93 latest fic Guardian of Avalon and the Sovereign of Camelot. It's Arthur/Gwen but will feature other pairings too. So far she has posted the prologue but I seriously can not wait to read the rest! I think that if anyone has the chance to read it, please comment on there. *puppydogeyes* I know people don't write for the comments, but seriously this girl deserves some ♥! I just love her unique way of writing!

Here is summary of the fic:

By day she is a simple servant, a once fond friend of past; by night she is a guardian of courage, daring to keep it all secret in a medieval world where warlocks and witches battle each other for Albion, one wanting to dispose of King Arthur, the other ready to protect him at great cost. But within, it is much more complicated as revelations will show.

Finished my first shift at the centre. It went well (except when I forgot to check my children's nappies, but I did end up changing a nappy without anyone supervising which was great!). I just have to fill out the paper work and then I'll be doing casual relief.

Now I have to go out again for an appointment! Fun times! And I'm getting my flu shot on Tuesday so that will be fun!

Yesterday was great too. I went out to meet my friend from schol in the city. I drove to the bus stop by myself (second time and it was great!) and then caught a bus into the city. We had at the Central Markets and then walked to the mall. I brought a digital camera (for when I'm overseas, which has WiFi so I can upload pics and videos to Facebook and Youtube, a beanie (for overseas too and now too cause its cold!), another craft book and some jewelry which I will where for my friends 21st next weekend. We had a really awesome time!

The Help the fight Against Depression Fan-work Auction I'm running over at m_in_wonderland has been extended till the 8th of July.

This means that you now have a few extra days to have a look at what some wonderful people have offered to do and bid on something! Bid on much as you want and any amount of money is better than nothing!

If you don't have any money to spare than feel free to make something. Anything big or small. Maybe some icons or a fanmix. If time is an issue, let me know on the questions post and I can extend the date I've put for posting items.

Meme stolen from like 2 people (rainbow_connec & mustbethursday3!)

SUPPOSEDLY if you've seen over 85 films, you have no life. Mark the ones you've seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, post to your LJ/DW and paste this as a note. Then, put +'s next to the films you've seen, add them up, and use your number as the header.

So many of you know that for the past year I have been battling with bad depression and anxiety. Well after the positive response I got from some of you in my previous posts, I have decided to be more active in raising awareness surrounding the stigma that is often associated with depression.

In Australia there is a organization called beyondblue which is a national, independent, not-for-profit organisation working to address issues associated with depression, anxiety and related disorders in Australia.

So my proposal is this: I will be hosting an auction on my fanwork journal m_in_wonderland offering to write little fics, art & fan mixes for the highest bidder. The money raised will be donated to the beyondblue Depression Research Ancillary Fund Trust Deed (link). If you want to donate money without participating in the auction that is ok. The more money the better! Visit here to find out more info on how to donate and how the money donated will be spent.

So give what you can and feel free to spread the word! Depression is one of the most common of all mental health problems and 1 in 5 people will at one stage have depression. So it's so important for all of us to help raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with it so that people know that they can get help and have the programs and services available to them.

I would really appreciate anything that people are willing to give. As you know this is something very close to my heart, so your support would just be magnificent!

ETA: The amazing rubber_glue suggested that I open the auction for anyone who wants to make something for people to bid on. So if you want to either participate in the auction or offer to make something for it for people to bid on, please let me know here and then I can do a proper post for the auction.

ETA 2: I just posted the Auction Thread here so please visit here for guidelines on how to participate and do what you can to support this very important cause!
