The Day After

Hi, luvs! I'm a little sad about Halloween being over. There's something about the day after, y'know? Anyway, all three of my Halloween Challenges (in various fandoms) were successful! Thanks to all who participated, and you'll be getting banners if you haven't received them already. ctbn60 is always on top of things! :)

I received some entries last night after I'd gone to bed (all of which made the deadline), so I'll be reading them today and will update the Master Lists and posting the notifications before I go to bed tonight. :)

Now that the calendar has turned to a new month, I have some 'housekeeping' tasks:

1) Finish the details surrounding my three Halloween Challenges. (November 1)
2) Change the layouts of my LJ and three comms. (November 2, 12, 12, 12)
3) Post the Classic Fic Of The Month. (November 2)
4) Post the new DCU Winter Holidays Fic/Art Challenge (once I've written it up). (November 2)
5) Pimp the monthly Challenges.
6) Post the next prompt for my 2010 DCU Fic/Art The Wheel Of The Year Challenge. (November 2)
7) Post my October Fic Tally. (November 5)
8) Review Smallville's Isis. (November 4)
9) Watch and review Smallville's Harvest. (November 1, 8)
10) Finish and post my second Public Enemies Halloween story. (November 4)
11) Finish posting the remaining chapters of my Halloween stories, The House At 1313 Maple Street (Public Enemies) (November 6, 6) and Celtic Moon I: Golden Eagle (Emergency!).
