Time for a Cool Change

We have a cool change here in Melbourne (even a teeny tiny spot of rain) but fires are still raging in the rest of the state. And it's flooding in Queensland; I wish they could zap the water to where it's needed. (sigh)

On a happier note, I'm pleased to point out the pending Gen Battle!
In the words of the organizer:
So the porn battle, obviously, was excellent, because... fandom. Porn battle. What's not to love?

Except I kept running into the obvious problem: I am in fandoms where bears and frogs go on road trips together and real people dive into human-sized bowls of pasta. As such, I have no interest in writing porn.

Gen fic (and art, for that matter), on the other hand? I am ALL OVER THAT.

Go! Submit prompts! Write fic!

Photos of a Sunburnt Suburbia

I was putting the trash out and the deadness of my lawn (not to mention the deadness of my ivy) caught my eye and I thought I'd take a photo. But before I actually took any photos, I got chatting with a neighbour and it was dim-dark by the time we were done, so I had to use the flash.
