    <content type="html">&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Once upon a time, there was a Yahoo group called &lt;span style="color:#1d9fbf;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Oz Lyric Wheel&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Songs were hummed, stories were written, and all was right with the world.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#e19df2;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;:::cue flute music and birdsongs:::&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#1a52a1;"&gt;Chirp Chirp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then, the tradition faded away, and all we &lt;br /&gt;had left were the memories (and &lt;span style="color:#e907f5;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;the excellent stories&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, of course.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#32b841;"&gt;~sigh~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, not too long ago, &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://ozsaur.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://ozsaur.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;ozsaur&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; and &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://trillingstar.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://trillingstar.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;trillingstar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;were talking about all the great &lt;span style="color:#de78a7;"&gt;songfic&lt;/span&gt; at the old Wheel, &lt;br /&gt;and they were struck with the idea that maybe it was time for &lt;a href="http://lyric-wheel.livejournal.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#db7932;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a new Lyric Wheel&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Now I know that not everyone likes songfic, but this is different.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;You don't have to quote the lyrics in the story, you just have to be &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#f084bd;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;inspired&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; by the lyrics.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; And you get to choose the lyrics you want to write about.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#a0b7f2;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cool, huh?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say this is a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#832ed9;"&gt;win/win&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;!&amp;nbsp; So go digging around &lt;br /&gt;your old &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#de1818;"&gt;eight&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;span style="color:#f0987a;"&gt;track&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span style="color:#ede547;"&gt;vinyl&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span style="color:#81eb10;"&gt;cassette&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span style="color:#5d91f0;"&gt;cd&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span style="color:#9841f0;"&gt;m3p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; collections, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hop over to the &lt;a data-cke-saved-href="http://lyric-wheel.livejournal.com/" href="http://lyric-wheel.livejournal.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:1.4em;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(32, 176, 176);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Oz Lyric Wheel&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and &lt;span style="color:#e37019;"&gt;share the &lt;b&gt;lyrical love&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, people!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February 19: Sign ups open&lt;br /&gt;February 26: Sign ups close&lt;br /&gt;February 27: Claiming opens&lt;br /&gt;March 4: Claiming closes&lt;br /&gt;April 1: Posting begins!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#e31010;"&gt;Yay!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dustandroses&amp;ditemid=279071" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">It's been a while since I've posted.&amp;nbsp; A lot has happened, but I'll save  that for another post.&amp;nbsp; For now, I have a story, and some good news. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buffy fans, or at least Spike/Xander fans, will be glad to know that &lt;span data-ljuser="laazikaat" class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-P     "&gt;&lt;a class="i-ljuser-profile" target="_self" href="http://laazikaat.livejournal.com/profile"&gt;&lt;img src="http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo.gif?v=17080?v=135.5" class="i-ljuser-userhead" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a target="_self" class="i-ljuser-username" href="http://laazikaat.livejournal.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;laazikaat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; has been seen lurking around &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://spanderfiles.com/contents.html" target="_self"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SpanderFiles&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,  and she's made a few changes.&amp;nbsp; Okay, maybe lurking is the wrong  word...since she's the owner and all, but you know what I mean.&amp;nbsp; She's  simplified the face of the site, to make it easier to access on mobile  devices, and she's added the endings to a few longer works that had been  ongoing since she'd last been around.&amp;nbsp; She hasn't started adding any  new works, but it's a start, and we're glad to see her back.&amp;nbsp; Yay!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks like maybe &lt;b&gt;Lady Q&lt;/b&gt;  is back as well, since I saw her leaving Spander story announcements on  the ShoutBox recently.

Feel free to share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several days ago, I &lt;a href="http://synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/719631.html" target="_self"&gt;found out&lt;/a&gt; that &lt;span class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-C     "&gt;&lt;a class="i-ljuser-profile" target="_self" href="http://smutday.livejournal.com/profile"&gt;&lt;img src="http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/community.gif?v=556?v=123.4" class="i-ljuser-userhead" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a target="_self" class="i-ljuser-username" href="http://smutday.livejournal.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;smutday&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Though we didn't speak often, we shared stories, icons,  and numerous pretty pictures here on Smutday.&amp;nbsp; She betaed several  stories for me, and over the years, I've written several stories at her  request, and made a handful of icons just for her.&amp;nbsp; It really hurt to  hear that she was gone, and it took me several days to realize that  there was no better tribute I could make to Sid, than to dedicate a post  to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before we get to the pictures, I wanted to link to the stories that Sid either wrote for &lt;span class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-C     "&gt;&lt;a class="i-ljuser-profile" target="_self" href="http://smutday.livejournal.com/profile"&gt;&lt;img src="http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/community.gif?v=556?v=123.4" class="i-ljuser-userhead" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a target="_self" class="i-ljuser-username" href="http://smutday.livejournal.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;smutday&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, or at least posted here.&amp;nbsp; You can find them at the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://smutday.livejournal.com/tag/fic%20by%20sidlj" target="_self"&gt;fic by Sid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; tag.&amp;nbsp; While I'm talking about her fic, &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://paian.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom;
