Scored last minute tix to see #StevieNicks tonight at Scotiabank in Toronto. This be the 5th time I’ve seen her, three solo and two with #FleetwoodMac.

Yeah, this. But also please include this info prominently up front:
Genre / theme
Pay rates
Are reprints accepted (and is there a separate rate for them)
Max word count
Honestly, that’s all I look for.

Hmm. I loved the movie so much. Not sure a series is needed EXCEPT it certainly would be topical, wouldn’t it? And the Watchmen series was excellent. Plus James Gunn, so…maybe? Fingers crossed
'V for Vendetta' TV series is in the works at HBO and DC
James Gunn will exec produce

This. All of this. Thank you Jays.
To the Jays today:
The power of friendship and mutual respect almost got you to the top.
It will get you past the disappointment too.
We're proud of you. You're our team.
You reflected Canadian values so very well.
We'll get 'em next year.
(PS: Please sign Bo...)

The Dodger’s may have won the World Series, but the Blue Jays have won the hearts of Canadians. They played with such joy, put everything they had into the game & supported & believed in their team mates. I hope that each of these guys know we are proud of every one of them. Go Jays! ⚾️🇨🇦

Still feeling gutted, but the Jays should be so proud of themselves and the team they created.

Instead of my regular #halloween relisten of Zelazny’s A Night in Lonesome October, I’ve been doing a Buffy rewatch. What are your Halloween habits?
