I can't believe I'm saying this again, but... that's the end of our Dialj Christmas Challenge for this year - Twelfth Night has been and gone, the calendar is chock-full of wonderful things, and... it's time to pack everything away again... *sniffs sadly*

Thank you so much to everyone who joined in this year, whether you created, read, wrote, drew, commented, browsed, lurked, or just generally peered in now and then to see what was going on... Aren't the lads ace? Isn't the Pros-y world fab? And wasn't it fun? *vbg*

I'll copy the Challenge Calendar into this post as soon as my co-mod sends it to me, and make sure that everything's tagged up and linked to the User Info page as usual, so that you can always find the Challenge that way. And I haven't forgotten that I'm behind on the Dialj Bound versions, which will be on their way, I promise they will... any year now...

For people who've written fic - the Hatstand isn't archiving any more, and the Circuit Archive seems to be long-term/temporarily-we-hope out of business, so please do send your stories to the ProsLib Archivist whose contact details can be found here, and consider signing up for and posting your own stories to The Automated Hatstand. Let's not lose our fabulous Prosfic into the depths of Christmas Ljs past!

And finally... there's another Dialj Challenge planned already, it's on the tip of our tongues, and the gorgeous (I'm sure!) banner is all but ready to be unfurled, so do keep an eye out... *g*

Happy New Year everyone! I don't know where you are, but 2009 has dawned cold and grey here, and I'm feeling in need of a little... warmth to start the year off properly...

...so here's another gem from the world of Pros zines, online for the first time, by kind permission of the author...

La Fievre de la Nuit by Elizabeth Holden

And if it helps you to imagine the scene, it was inspired, as were all the stories in Night Music in B&D by this picture, by Suzan Lovett - click the thumbnail to see it in all it's glory at The Circuit Archive.
