SOPA = Stop Online Piracy Act. You may have seen posts floating around about "Bad Internet laws heading your way," etc.; my previous post on it is here.
I had a blast with all the BBs I did last year and would love to participate in the LOTR one again, but honestly, my well for that fandom is pretty dry at the moment. :( And I do want to finish at least one of my original novels this year if I can, so there's that plus work to consider. Still have all of last year's fics to read through, too....
