And Monday rolls around again...

It's with a little bit of sadness that I am writing this today, as one of our beautiful bunnies lost her short battle with what was probably some form of cancer, this evening. So please forgive me if I'm feeling a little heavy hearted at the moment.

On the good front, I do feel like I've achieved some things this last week, even if they were mostly not with words. I did manage to finish my final edit on the fic I finished a couple of months ago, and have now sent it off to my beta, who will hopefully have it back by the end of the week! I am looking forward to finally getting this long-forgotten sequel to my ancient 'Mechanics of Love' RPF posted sometime very soon. Maybe that will be the push I need to get working on the next WIP in the folder.

Anyway, with that in mind, I am aiming to use these now free Monday nights to get some more stuff done online and for the comm. The first of these will probably be the banners for June's challenge. There were a few of you who jumped on the drabble/icon challenge and did fantastically well, so you all deserve a banner for that! Let me know in comments today how you did and I'll make something to go with it for you.

And I'll be counting in the next couple of days, so don't forget to update your numbers. You'll probably have a couple of extra days to do this because I don't think I'll have time to count before Wednesday my time, which is Tuesday night for most of you.

Here are the reminders and other things you need to help kick you off for the week:
