(This is cross-posted to several LJS communities. Apologies to those of you seeing it multiple times.)
LJSanta was on last year, but on a slightly altered schedule, so some people missed it. This year, though, it's on in December. For those of you unfamiliar to the project, you sign up to write a Secret Santa fanfic (read: don't tell anyone what you're writing!) for a fellow LJS fan. In return, someone else writes a fic for you. Everyone wins! (Personally speaking, some of my favourite LJS fanfics have been written for LJSanta.)
Note: This is for the books ONLY. We are including the ghostwritten VD and SC books, since they use the same characters and operate within the same world, but the TVD show and TSC show are not allowed.
For more information, to read previous LJSanta stories, and/or to sign up, please visit lj-smith.com/ljsanta/. Sign-ups end on November 25. Please be sure to consider the deadlines and requirements before you sign up.
First off, apologies to those of you who are subscribed to many LJS-based LJ communities. You'll be seeing this post a lot today.
But it's for a good cause, because LJSanta, the Secret Santa project for the LJS fandom, is back! I missed it during its hiatus, and I know I'm not alone. LJSanta has resulted in some of the best fanfic in this fandom, in my opinion, and it's always been a fun ride.
The timeline is slightly different than in past years, so even if you've participated before, read the rules again. Sign-ups end on December 5, so hurry and join in on the fun!
For more information or to check out the fanfic from previous years, go to the LJSanta site: www.lj-smith.com/ljsanta/
Mention of adult material within!

LJSanta is a Secret Santa fanfic exchange for the L.J. Smith fandom. It's been running for a few years now, and is always fun. Head on over to the website to sign up if you're interested.

Now that Liss has internet access from home and I'm not on vacation or having surgery, we can get back to it.

Secret Vampire is catch-as-catch-can right now, but The Fury starts tonight.
Are there any blogs that re-cap The Vampire Diaries books? I just watched the show tonight, and had no idea what's going on. lol
I want to read the books too! :)
Hello everyone, I saw on the rules that advertising was alright, so here we are:

Many thanks!
Itβs LJSβs birthday today, and we hope youβll join us in wishing her a very happy birthday. If youβd like to leave Lisa a birthday message, please feel free to do so in the comments on the Vampire-Diaries.net blog post, and weβll pass them along. :)
We found ourselves on the receiving end of some amazing fandom love and generosity and we think itβs only right to pass on the good karma. We know a lot of you were unable to make it to San Diego for Comic Con and have been envying some the Vampire Diaries goodies featured at the Warner Bros. booth. Well, hereβs your chance to score some of that sweet schwag β weβre having our very first contest!
The Prizes:
Hey all, I don't know how many people are still following this community but I actually just found myself falling back in love with all of LJS' work recently so I thought I'd join a few comms and see what this generation of followers are like, lol. I fell in love with her books when I was about 13 or so. And I'm...28 now. Which makes me feel strangely old. Either way, I used to follow her religiously, joining online sites like Circle Daybreak, writing tons and tons of fanfic. I actually noticed that I'm still up on TTales and other fanfic sites which was such a shock to me, my God. I used to write under the name of Aeslinn years ago and I still have warm feelings about all those people I met almost 15 years ago!
Anyways, I know this is getting long winded but I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi and also say that I'm very excited to be falling in love with her books all over again and meeting people who also share that love. :)
For those interested, the official Harper/Alloy TVD website has a competition running in which you can win copies of all the Vampire Diaries books so far signed by L.J. Smith. You have to be at least 13 years old to enter, and a resident of the USA. Rules here and you can enter here. Closing date is noon ET, August 18, 2009.
I was reading LJ Smith's Myspace bulletin where she answers questions and I was wondering if anyone knows what she's talking about when she says this (in relation to The Vampire Diaries pilot and watching the dailies):
"(because Iβve been through this before, for example with Secret Circle, where everything was going well until it just fell apart for some reason unknown to me)"

Post updated when there are new ones.
This falls under "I can't believe I'm doing this", but I've made some icons using recent pictures posted on Vampire-Diaries.net. I blame my inner fangirl - she made me do it.
I'm possibly getting ahead of myself here, given that the show has only just been annouced, but what the hell.
Enjoy.

Please tell me if I'm getting this credit thing wrong. I wish to give credit to all the right people.
