Just a little reminder that there's a week left before sign ups close!

I know it's been a bitch of a year for all of us but the best start I can think of for 2021 (please be kind, 2021) is to enjoy some personal time writing a special gift for someone... we all need a little spoiling right now. Please come and join us - we're friendly, we're versatile, and hey, there's a 1200 word minimum. You can do that!

Sign ups for next February's MSV have already been open for a week, and you have not yet signed up --- why? Go and sign up! This is how we spread the fandom love. Go ask for that rare pairing you've always wanted to read, but somehow no one sees their potential the way you do. Or an old favourite you haven't seen around in a while. Or the current fashionable 'ship - whatever makes you happy.

Suffering is (supposed to be) good for the soul. Time to stretch those writer's muscles.
