It definitely looks like people are interested in a Valentine's Day challenge.  If someone wants to set up a poll for topics, go ahead.
Otherwise, just write about the lovins'!

Let's work it so we have some time before the holiday - like starting February 4 and going till the 13.  No length limit on fics or artwork.

This will be my last one - someone else is welcome to the Spring Challenge.  It's been fun, but I need a break!

( Hanging with my friends also means more drawing, which means mostly I ask them what to draw, which means mostly I end up drawing odd things, also I saw through episode 24 of Monster )

Other Monster-related thing that amused me: a review of the first DVD box set, which is quite possibly the most glowing and worshipful review I have read of anything ever. I mean, I love the series to death, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED ha ha ha, but there is such a thing as raising people's expectations to an unrealistic level. It also appears to be reviewing the entire series rather than just the thirteen episodes on the DVD, though it doesn't spoil anything. But hey! Glowing and worshipful talk of Monster! I am down with that. I am really, really down with that. And I would totally be grabby-hands all over that DVD, except for the part where it costs $45 for thirteen episodes. At least it is not as bad as Doctor Who? But that is not saying much, seriously.
