- As a number of you reported, a service interruption impaired sending and receiving notifications for a couple of days. This was due to an avalanche of snowflake cookies. We've removed the free snowflake cookie and unclogged the pipeline. Timely notifications should resume shortly. Please note that there's a backlog in our queues, so you'll be getting earlier notifications first. For more details, check out this post at
lj_maintenance. - In anticipation of the new year, we've embarked on a self-improvement kick to boost our backend (pun semi-intended). This will allow us to offer you a holiday promotion in the next few weeks (yes, we're listening and working very hard to make it happen). We sincerely appreciate your continued patience and support.
Holiday vgifts are here!
We've added some fantastic new vgifts to help you spread holiday cheer. We also hope you'll honor AIDS Awareness Month by purchasing virtual red ribbons. Priced at $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to support the development and global distribution of an affordable HIV vaccine.
Introducing: LJLimerick
We cordially here do invite youTo craft a fine limerick. Might you?
Each week, a new theme,
Then a poll, that's our dream
Winner posted on news to delight you!
In honor of all the brilliant writers on LiveJournal, we've created a brand new community:
ljlimericks! Each week, we'll enter a handful of limericks into a poll (which we'll tuck snugly under an LJ-Cut). The winning poem will be published in the following newsletter. In addition, the author will receive a virtual blue ribbon! If you have the time, come drop us a rhyme. Please keep the "Nantucket" stuff on the downlow, since this is a youth-friendly community. Our first prompt is: Insomnia in winter.
Photos of the week
We're back with more incredible images from our global photography community. Congratulations to
sempre_marseeya, who has been awarded a virtual blue ribbon as the winner of our second
lj_photophile poll.

Thanks, again, for joining us. Stay warm and safe out there!
Ok, poupees, let's see what you've got! Good luck to you all!
A stunning collection of images sure to delight anyone with a penchant for architectural elements, this talented community, largely from New York, is hoping to attract new members from around the world. Featuring an eclectic variety of photos depicting doors, windows, and walls, there's an interesting balance of interior and exterior shots, many from urban streets, some from ramshackle rural farmhouses. Wonderful!
Thanks :D
Fic Rating: PG-13
Fic Pairing: House/Wilson (mostly) a bit of House/OFC and Wilson/OFC
Fic Warning: Slash, spoiler for season 6 premier
Word Count: 2800
Summary: House and Wilson in a new relationship dealing with coming out and a ghost from House's past.
Chapter sample:
His thoughts turned to the night before and the sex that he had with Girl who’s name he couldn’t remember. It was nice, it served its purpose, but it wasn’t fulfilling…not like it was with House. Wilson hadn’t realized until then what an attentive lover House was and how right it felt to be with him. More right than it had ever felt with anyone in the past…even with Amber. He really missed House.

Sorry! poupee was super laggy for me when I was trying to dress up! anyone else having this problem? DX
Also, I was thinking about how I was able to edit my closet super down, from nearly 800 items to 118 (200 or so from doll & doll cltohes). What about you guys? what's your final tally?
The film is Onegin, and the character is Tatyana, played by the beautiful Liv Tyler. Under the cut you can see screencaps from the Sankt Petersburg skating scene.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, I cannot recommend it enough! It's based on the classical novel in verse by Alexandr Pushkin, but the film is quite different from the satirical tone of the novel - it's melancholy and dreamy instead, and it's got the most beautiful and painting-like cinematography! Along Liv Tyler, Ralph Fiennes is playing the dandy Eugene Onegin. Because it's got many gorgeous winter scenes, it makes for a great winter evening watch! <3
The fur bag is supposed to represent Tatyana's manchon. ^^; Maybe one of the Gothic Coats would have been a better match for this cosplay, but this is the best a poor poupee such as me could do! ^___^
