And now for something good...

fan_the_vote is going strong. (Pimp, pimp).

The idea is to harness the massive creative power of fandom to get the Poser POTUS tossed out on his C average chickenhawk keister come November. Scads of volunteers have descended on the community to offer fannish services (custom fics, illustrations, icons, beta-reading, web design, etc.); they will be "sponsored" in these services in the form of small donations to the either the Kerry campaign or Moveon.org (for non-Americans, donations have also been accepted to Red Cross/Red Crescent, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, and the like--international NGOs helping to mitigate Bush Administration damage).

I sponsored tyellas for the scary, raunchy Melkor/Sauron story I've always wanted to read, and it's done! here is the entry at voteworks. Go read, go tremble, go comment! (Mind the warnings; she ain't kidding.) And help keep the Dark Lords in sexual fantasies fiction where they belong!
