Well, I had great intentions for 14valentines this year, but stupidly missed the sign-ups (several times over - this is what procrastination gets you). However, nothing says I can't link *to* them, I just can't post a link from there to here.

14valentines is a community that grew out of fandom, in an effort to promote and bring to light issues affecting women all over. It runs for 14 days, ending on Feb 14, Valentine's Day. For more detailed information, check out the info post here.

Every day there is an essay about different issue affecting women, and everyone who participates in posting on that day, links to the essay in their own journal. You can post whatever you like, fic, art, meta, essay, or do something completely different.

As I said, I decided to take part this year, but due to my inability to actually make a decision, I missed the sign-ups and what-not. But that will not stop me from posting every day of those 14 days.

My original plan was to post fic on each of those days, but that plan was shot to hell when that damn Buffy/Numb3rs fic started eating my brain, leaving little room for any other plot bunnies to try and grow. It's not finished by half, and I don't want to start posting until I'm much, much closer to the end (or finished writing it), so that got nixed from the line-up.

My new plan is this. I'll alternate fic and recs for all 14 days. (Yes, I've been holding back several of my stories for just this occasion. Sue me.) The recs are something I just started putting together, and I hope people will like.

The format for the recs is this: each rec-day, I'll post three stories from a single fandom (one each of gen, het and slash). I'm trying to make them as different and unique as possible, without repeating authors or storylines. I'm also only using the high-quality fics that I haven't recced before.

So, that's my plan and I hope to stick to it. Now I just have to get two more stories finished to complete the two weeks. Wish me luck!
