What's OEAM, precious?

Of Elves and Men (http://www.ofelvesandmen.com) is a website that I own - it was first an all Tolkien site but now we also include other fandoms. I host a big bang every year and B5 is one of our fandoms. We are in the process of changing the site to a self upload site as well. We have some old yahoo groups and an LJ community too.

Oh, that looks interesting. I have a DCU fic I want to work on, so will consider signing up.

ETA: It would be helpful to have fic length requirements listed somewhere on the sign up page.

I waan to sign up but I have had such bad writer's block for months I don't see how I'd get anywhere...have to think on this.

You can sign up and give it a go... we won't send anyone to break your knees if you find it's not going to happen. There is no penalty for dropping out. Sometimes a deadline helps me to write.

We'd love to have you join us.
