That's right, Prompting is Open! But you know what? Claiming is also Open!

If you see a prompt you like, fill it and post it, it's THAT easy! :D

And I think – I think those mods over there are dying for people to start filling, too! ^^

Head over there and be part of the party! It'll only be great if YOU are there. ♥♥♥

I meant to make part of this rec post before, but, hey, better late than never, right? :) So there are many recs here. ^^

From daily_deviant's Banging Birthday Party and from hp_mhealthfest:

( Marauders Era, Trio Era and Next Gen! )

Oh my god. I don't know where to begin.

These past few weeks have been some of the hardest. I was so, so very ill, I honestly thought I wasn't going to feel well again. I'm not going to bore you with the details, because, man, I could go on and on about how terrible I felt. I'm just, so happy be feeling better.

I'm so sorry I missed so much. I'm slowly trying to catch up with life, work (dude, work will be crazy next week! ^^) and fandom. I've missed you so much. So much to read and flail about. :) I'll try to catch up with as much as I can, but I think this month has been crazy, it might take a while. ^^

I just, I can't thank you guys enough for your comments and messages and your wishes. It meant all the difference in the world.

While I was laying in bed, feeling so sick I'd go through your words and I couldn't wait to be back. You guys are the fucking best. Not kidding, the fucking best. I love you. Thank you! <3

Dear fandom, I'm going to be away for a couple of weeks. I just haven't been well at all.

The surgery went well enough, but then I got diagnosed with Chikungunya, along with gastritis and ulcer, it's all I've been able to do to keep going, to keep some medicines in my stomach, just hanging there.

I need some time to recover properly. It's such a horrible time because there's Mpreg and HPmhealthfest and glompfest, which I've been looking forward for ages, but I can't do anything, not even muster any enthusiasm for nothing that isn't laying in bed and try to keep something in my stomach, try to feel better.

So I'm off for a couple of weeks, hopefully will be back good as new. Will miss you all. <333

This waiting has been literally:

( THIS )

Not that he's my favourite character, but that can be said about almost any character, basically.

I'm half, "Yes! It's finally here!" And half, "Oh God, what now?!"

I'm not sure what I'm hoping. I'm not sure I have hopes, even. What the hell is this show doing to me? ^^

But still, tonight, finally!

And very kinky at that! These are mulity ship recs from daily_deviant's Banging Birthday Party. :D

A taste of the kinkiness going on over there:

( James/Teddy/Al, James/Teddy, Weasleycest, Pottercest and art! )

If you haven't, do check all the fics and art because, damn! Here's Week 1 Round-Up and Week 2 Round-Up.

Now I'm off there myself to catch up with new stuff. Don't forget to leave a comment if you enjoyed something! <333

I've been back at home for a few days now. Still in nurse-duty 24/7, but things are a bit more settled. So I'm bringing you some recs from on-going fests. All stories are under 5K, please check them out. They'll make your day:

hp_getlucky:
( 2 James/Scorpius, 1 Draco/James and one super Harry/Draco )

do_me_veela Art:
( 1 Harry/Draco, 1 Draco gen )

Slash, femmeslash and gen. All beautiful, amazing fics from the Salt and Pepper fest at hp_goldenage. If you haven't checked them out, do! But here's something to get you started. :)

From hp_goldenage:

( Hermione/Millicent, Harry/Draco, Gen Fred and George and Gen fanart Professor Sprout and Neville )


From ron_draco_fest:

( 2 Ron/Draco )

Today I made the worst waffles in the history of waffle-making. I'm not even kidding, they were pathetic. :(

Sadder still is that I forgot to take a picture of them, because such bad waffles should have been documented, but maybe they're best left forgotten. What a loss though.

Anyway, on a different topic:

Does anyone know what happened with the Harry/Draco AO3 feed? I remember at the end of February it stopped loading properly and I was planning to open a support request asking what was the problem, but now it's completely gone. No more H/D AO3 feed, and it's so sad because that thing was super useful. Any idea how this work or what can be done or, I dunno, who to call? Ghostbusters? Anyone? ^^


Edit: Well, it's showing: ao3harrydraco Only it's not updated since Feb 18th. ://

I'm back! And you know, I think finally the vacation curse is over because I had such a lovely time. The weather was beautiful and it was peaceful and fun and no one got sick. :D

And I had the best birthday also! \o/ The bf gave me a pair of sunglasses, which I loved. Only, he gave them to me the day we arrived so I could wear them at the beach, which I did, and in my actual birthday we booked a ~romantic~ massage. But the girl doing me was clearly a sadist and learned how to massage in a Chinese torture chamber or something because it hurt. I did ask her if she could please be a little more gentle and afterwards it was pretty awesome, I have to say.

There were a couple of minor inconveniences. I got sunburnt one day. It was actually not so bad and only in my hip. I know, it's silly. It involves falling asleep at the beach and a very small bikini bottom. ^^ Then the next door couple was very, er, loud, yeah, let's go with ~loud~. :D And lastly my flight from Lima to Santa Cruz was delayed a couple of hours. But compared with sickness, hospital, food poisoning et cetera, it was brilliant!

Oh! I had the lamest internet connection. It was so slow it was actually ridiculous. But I managed to get online and OH MY GOD, I got so many amazing, wonderful messages from you guys. ♥ ♥ ♥ I'm still –God, over the moon that you thought of me and send me messages and emails and v-gifts. I can't wait to make a birthday post sharing everything, because, like, GOD, I've gotten some amazing gifts, too! I'm just so excited!

I missed you all so much! I've been trying to catch up a bit today, but it's going to take a while. Just bear with me, and sorry for all the spam that's coming after I catch up!

SO GOOD TO BE BACK. I MISSED YOU!!!!!!

You know you've read too much fanfic when you read a fic in which Draco says something like, "There's no such thing as a lust Potion. Wizardkind has tried to make one for years without success." And you go, 'but no, Draco, you made one in Sixth Year, remember? Tried with Harry with some really interesting results. . .'

And then you go, oh yeah, fanfic is not cannon. Right. :D *lol*

You know when that happens? Me too! :D


In some news now, I'm going to be away for a few days, going on vacations (to the Caribbean!), tonight. Actually, I'm leaving at 2AM, so I guess technically tomorrow, and coming back the 14th.

This trip is going to be awesome! Nothing is going to go wrong – I refuse to believe I just jinxed it by saying that. ^^ I mean, the universe owes me. The last few trips I've made have been – well, they've been a disaster, and it's my birthday also, so come on!

So I won't be around for the next week or so starting tonight. I'm going to miss you so much! ♥

2015 Harry Potter Fests Master List!

I've removed the fests that didn't run in 2015, but when I do this list for 2016 I'll include as many as I know of and update accordingly as timelines are posted.

( Harry Potter Fests Masterlists! )

I hope you guys find this useful! And please let me know if I missed a fest. Sometimes it's difficult to keep up with everything. ^^

The 2016 list should be up in the next couple of days. :)

Claiming is open at serpentinelion's Glompfest!


And my prompt got claimed! I'm so, so excited!

If you're a writer or an artist, please consider claiming for this fest. It's one of a kind, truly: exciting, giving and it's so much about what's great with being part of fandom. <3

But also going on:

Prompting is open at harrydracompreg
Prompting is open at at hp_getlucky
Prompting is open at at do_me_veela
Prompting is open at at dracotops_harry
Claiming is open at at hp_kinkfest

I think that's it? Or there's more going on and I'm missing it? ^^

I'm back home now, only my plans for last weekend went to hell. We never made it to the Titicaca Lake because there was a blockage on the road, we were stuck for about four hours (after driving another two) and yeah, a blockage with around 300 angry people demanding for something (ironically enough, they were demanding another road) and setting motorbikes on fire.

I get it, sometimes it's the only way a government will hear you. Only it totally ruined our weekend. :/

We spent all of it in the city of La Paz going back and forth from our little hotel to one of the bf's sisters who live there. But it was fine. There was a service and a fancy dinner for the ~in laws anniversary – which I attended wearing jeans and woolly socks because that was all I brought. But hey, I expected to be in the country side by a Lake!

I'm glad to be home. :) I'm slowly catching up, very slowly. Sorry for all the spam beforehand, by the way. :)

And hey, how about those hd_erised reveals!? Was it fun? Were you surprised? I know it went super! And -- I know, I'm mad, but -- I already can't wait for next year. This year, I mean. God, it's 2016. ^^

Prompting is open for serpentinelion's GlompFest!

I just left my prompt. I knew I could do it when I get back but I had to do it now. :D

This is such a wonderful fest, you guys! You have no idea how exciting for us who read and comment and rec and are part of fandom not as writers or artists this is! I hope more people prompt, and if you are an artist or writer, I hope you consider being part of this fest, too. <333

And now I'm off. *sobs* Got to run to the pharmacy for Sorojchi Pills and then I have to pack. ^^

See you on Monday! <33

Happy 2016 Flist! (Man, I'm late for this. ^^)

I hope this New Year is wonderful for all of you. ♥ I'm very optimistic about it myself.

In fact, I have something to say to 2016:

( Oh yeah! )

Which basically means, carry on. ^^

Although something not very cool at all is already happening.

I'm going for a short trip with the in laws tomorrow until the 11th and I don't wanna. :/ It's their 50th wedding anniversary and they wanted a weekend with their whole family together.

It sucks, in all the wrong ways. And not only because a) they don't like me so it'll be polite instead of fun, and b) the trip is to the Titicaca Lake and altitude gives me a headache. But because I'm going to miss hd_erised reveals. *sobs in despair*

Reveals are so much fun. It's like wrapping the fest, putting a ribbon to it and saying, "This is it! Wasn't it amazing?!" And I'm going to miss it.

Of course, best co-mods in the world, gracerene & sassy_cissa have everything covered. But the thing is, through the fest at important dates (and really, all fest round), we're kind of ~virtually holding hands~ and being excited and waiting for people to match that excitement and it's such a rush, you know? I'm going to miss all the squee. :/

But you'll tell me all about it when I get back, yes? PLEASE?

So happy H/D Erised Reveals in advance! And happy reveals from all the fests that will reveal while I'm up in the Titicaka Lake with a headache. :)

I don't post any in two weeks and then I'm posting every day. Go me! :D

I bring you recs. All the art recs, because it's been wonderful. Oh god, all the part!

I warn you, this post is huge because once I started I couldn't stop. I'm not kidding, recs and recs and recs. Also, this post took an hour and a half to code. XD

( Erised Art )

( mini_fest art )

And a couple of off fest fanart. With a Star Wars bonus! :)

( More art! )


I know, I know. I'm crazy, but I've been meaning to make this post all month. ^^

I'm alive! And well. :D Only I haven't posted in. . . *checks* Holy shit, over two weeks! But you know I'm here – mostly because I'm always spamming my flist with comments. Yeah, sorry about that. ^^

But anyway, as I was saying, I'm alive and well. :) And more importantly, I smell like Dracco.

No, I mean it! I was at the supermarket and I found a soap called DRACCO.

( Check this out, it's awesome: )

RIGHT? \o/

And because I must share the madness, listen to this: this soap kind of smells a bit flowery (Jasmine?) and a bit like honey (!!!). Which made me think:

Honey = a kind of treacle + a flowery scent = Harry's Amortentia.

SO!

I have a soap that smells like Harry's Amortentia called Dracco. OMG!

See what I did there? :D Yeah, it's a bit convoluted, but fannish logic cannot be argued. ^^

And by that I mean all the fests. ^^

I'm so excited about bouncy today. I don't know why! :D

I switched my default to my Christmassy icon. *grins* But I also went and switched my layout as well. I celebrate Christmas so I thought it would be fun to have my journal reflect that (since I haven't done the decorating in my house yet, I suck).

The art on my header is Draco and Harry's Christmas Card by anemonen. I'm in love with this art, and back in July (god, I'm ridiculous) I asked her if I could use it (begged, actually ^^), and lovely thing she is, she said yes. So here it is! I'm so happy!

And like, I'm totally ready for this season to start. \o/

I can't wait for all the fests to start. I wonder when those mods are going to post. LOL

Are you ready? ♥

One last time, recs from the hp_nextgen_fest! Man, I'm going to pine away for this fest until next year. Wasn't it the best?

So, yes, a few more recs before reveals. :)

( Fics & Arts )

Here's the Anonymous Masterlist. Do take a moment and check everything. There's so much amazing stuff. :)

And hey, Happy Thanksgiving if you're celebrating! If not, happy Thursday! <333

I bring you several recs from the hp_nextgen_fest. Along with hd_fanart reading NGF has been the highlight of my days.

I might have gone a little crazy here. Sorry! :D

( Fics )

I know, I know! *blushes* I'm so loving this fest.

There are so many amazing fics. All of them have been brilliant. There are Gen fics and Het fics and more slash fics that you mustn't miss, so I'm going to link to you Weekly Roundup 1 and Weekly Roundup 2.

I mean: Happy Monday!!!!!!

So much going on today.

Posting is on at hp_nextgen_fest
And at interhouse_fest
And prompting is open at hp_goldenage!

And today is submission day at hd_erised. :D

I'm nervous and excited! \o/

But I figured we could do with a little laugh, yes? So I thought to share this stuff that made me go LULZ forever, with you. :D

( Have a laugh! <3 )

You've probably seen them all, but come on, they are funny! :D

I hope everybody is having a wonderful Rectober! I come bearing fanart and fics. The stories are all under 5K so there's no excuse for you not to check them and read them and love them. :D

They are all Harry/Draco and awesome.

( 5 H/D Short Fics )

( 4 H/D Fanarts )

Don't forget to leave a comment to the artists and writers! Comments are ♥ ♥ ♥
