Yep. My journal is Friends Only, which, I know, kind of defeats the purpose of an on line journal. But hey, look what a pretty banner I've got. And did you notice they've switched their shorts? I wonder how that happened... what do you think?

Okay, not Friends Only. ^^ All fandom content is pretty much unlocked, general whining and personal stuff that is locked. But if you want to be added, just leave a comment. :)

Likes & dislikes in fic (or the entry where I went on and on):

I've been wanting to do one of these since [livejournal.com profile] birdsofshore and [livejournal.com profile] firethesound made theirs. And then [livejournal.com profile] gracerene did the Snowflake challenge and challenged people to make them; I went ahead and made mine, too. I blame them.

Likes, dislikes and everything in between. I warn you, I went MAD. Seriously. I'm ridiculous. ^^

My list )


So. *scuffs feet* How are you today, you dear and tormented livejournal friend? Did someone make a post filled with endless babbling and contradictions? I'm sorry! <3

HP Seasonal Comment-a-thon, Results! <3

And like this the Comment-A-Thon has come to an end.

I know it was a small thing, but you know, it's OK! I love that so many of you kept saying how this little event helped you to comment more, which is exactly the idea behind this. Give a comment, and with so many of you being artists and writers, I hope as you gave love, you received tons of love, too.

Thank you for doing this with me. I wasn't sure if I should, when I first had this idea and announced it, because I had been feeling a bit off and very stressed – I always underestimate how crazy December is, and I'm sure that happens to most of you? – but, but! I am very happy I did. I got to meet several of you, I got to hear how you did, I was vividly reminded that fandom is a beautiful place, with giving people, loving people ready to support each other. So I thank you, for being part of this and for remind me, and hopefully each other, what a joy is to be part of fandom.

Now, the results! \o/Read more... )

House Banners – Thank you for being part of this! )

Last few days!

[insert joke of I haven't posted since last year, which would have been hilarious by the way LOL]

Happy New Year, Fandom! ♥



Don't forget there's only a few more days to comment for the Comment-a-thon! It'll close on midnight on Saturday 6th! (ETD)

On Jan 8th there'll be a post for you to submit how many points you've made and for which House and then on the 10th I'll announce the winners! :D

Of course, the whole purpose of this Comment-a-thon has been giving back a bit of love to the creators who through all the month of December have given us so much fic and art and graphics and podfics to enjoy. I hope you've been having a brilliant time!

Crazy December ^^

I always underestimate how crazy and busy it's going to be this season. I've been so stressed out that last night I thought I was having a heart attack. No kidding, my chest hurt, and I felt as if my brain was too big for my head, and my arm ached so I called the BF and told him that I was dying.

He asked me if instead of dying I wanted to go to a Pokémon Raid, so I went and I caught that sucker! But I still felt iffy so we went for a coffee.

But in just as good news as not dying, it's been a whole year since I quitted smoking! \o/\o/\o/

Alright, granted, that first month was tough and I did smoke twice, but since then nothing. It's been one year smoke-free for me and I feel great!

Okay, I feel the same, but I know inside I must be doing much better, right?

How is this season treating you though? Have you been commenting?!!?

I'm all like:

It's never too late. :)

I had such great intentions at the beginning of the year. I planned to fill a spreadsheet with ever fic (over 1K) that I read this year to know how much read and just to keep it, because it's nice. :D

And I did so well until November. The month I read the most was July and the month I read the least was January.

Then November came and I started proofing Erised and I wondered if I should fill it in November when I read it, or if I should list it in December when it'll be posted. I made the executive decision to list is in Dec since I'm saving the links, the problem is that I had very little time to do extra reading in November so I started re-reading – mostly old faves, and yeah, do I list them again? LOL I mean, surely it counts, it's stuff I read! But at the end decided against it, and then December started and it's like...in December you blink and there are ten fics posted at least. It's awesome and I hope everybody is having the best time.

I love December. It kills me but every year I can't wait for it. :)

I know it's crazy busy so if you're following fests, please don't forget to join the HP Comment-A-Thon! It runs until Jan 6th and you can join in any time you want! :D



Don't be shy, come on! It's not too late! <3

Harry Potter Fests 2017

I know I'm always saying this, but better late than never? :)

2017 Harry Potter Fests – Posting Dates and Masterlists (now with DW links!) )

If you see a mistake or an omission, please let me know! If I missed a fest that is running this year, also let me know, and if you know a link to a DW community that I don't have here, again, please do let me know. :)

More dates will be added as Fests make announcements. Please bear in mind that many of the DW communities are only back ups and/or not active; the fests themselves will actually post at livejournal! Just keep your eyes open so you won't miss anything. :)

For only Harry/Draco Fests check [personal profile] vaysh's H/D Fests in 2017. And for more news on fests and prompt communities [community profile] potterfests is the place to go. :)

I hope this is useful! ♥

(This entry probably makes a bit more sense at livejournal ^^)

*mutters* And they say fandom is ~dying~ I spent all my afternoon yesterday coding. . . ;)

Announcing and basically opening sign ups for the SEASONAL HP COMMENT-A-THON!

Hello! I'm back! And I'm doing a thing! And I'm freaking out because I think it's going to be just me? DON'T ABANDOM ME! Ahem.

It's a HARRY POTTER COMMENT-A-THON! Right in time for the holidays. :)

Using [personal profile] writcraft's Comment-A-Thon format – with permission! – I thought it'd be fun to go run one of these and comment for your House of choice. :D

I think we all agree comments are an important part of our community. It brings us together, it encourages artists and writers to keep creating, often a comment is the beginning of an amazing friendship that transcends time and space. In many ways, comments is how we connect to each other, and this season, as any other time of the year, is important to remember that and celebrate that. So I present you:

hogwarts.jpg


I'll be running this here at DW and Tumblr, but you're also welcome to sign up at LJ as well! Please be part of this. <3

TIMELINE )

Being part of this Comment-a-thon is super easy. Basically: One comment, one point. :) BUT! But there are ways for you to get extra points!

HOW TO PLAY )

ARE YOU READY!?!? Alright! *\o/*

Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to leave as many comments as possible. And it starts right here:

GRAB THE BANNER OF YOUR HOUSE OF CHOICE )

AND SIGN UP! )

This Comment-A-Thon is just for fun! Seriously, don't stress yourself, just sign up and enjoy. If you're planning to leave a hundred comments (it's absolutely possible, trust me!) sign up, if you think you'll only be able to leave a handful, also sign up and be part of this. The idea is to come together and have fun, and leave as much love to fanworks creators as possible. Don't be shy, we're all in the same boat! Er, metaphorically speaking. ;)

Hang on! Prizes! There will be prizes! \o/ I am hoping I can convince a few friends to create a little something for different House winners. :)

But really, we're doing this for fun, because we care, it's not a competition, it's not an obligation. Just comment, share the love, every comment counts, not just as a House point, but that one comment you might leave through this Comment-A-Thon is going to make someone very happy, it's going to make a difference to that someone, that's what matter, that is the spirit, okay? Enjoy it! <3

Some December posting Fests, to refresh your memory! )

Please help me promote this Comment-A-Thon. Just grab a banner your House and spread the word in your DW, LJ and Tumblrs! I'd really appreciate it. :)

If you have any questions, please let me know. ♥

Actually I think I've forgotten to mention I'm travelling? Yeah, I am. \o/ I'm going on vacations for a week and I'm finally ready! I hate packing but I think this year I did pretty good. :)

Looks so neat. It doesn't look as if just half an hour earlier I had eighty percent of my closet on my bed picking up sweaters for god's sakes as if I'm not going to the Caribbean, capi, seriously and under all that crap there are two jumpers oh my god. :>

ANYWAY. I'm coming back the 29th, just in time for [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised and best co-mods in the world are also the most efficient people on the planet so while they are like, 'ines have fun, we have everything covered here!' I'm like MISS ME DAMNIT. LOL

I'll miss you guys so much! But I'll see you in a bit over a week! <3

I liiiive!

Oh god, I can't believe it's been over a month since I updated this. Actually I really can believe it. *uses whiniest voice* There's just been so much going on. Work has been crazy. A lot of people was let go from the paper so I'm doing the work of maybe 3, 3,5 people these days.

But that's like, okay, work. It's the extra stuff that's also a pain in the patella.

I got this throat infection and I was battling it for over three weeks. It just wouldn't go. I got better, a bit better but not really well, and then it got worse and then better. It was a pain in the ass it's what it was.

Then there was… you know, the rest. And here I'm going to chalk up depression, anxiety and all that that implies. It hasn't been a good few month but I'm getting there.

I got into a fight with my bf and it was one of our most ridiculous ones yet. So he saw a bad movie. You know, one of those bad movies that are bad on purpose and he loved it, he went and bought the DVD and he wanted me to watch it with him.

I'm sorry, no. I mean, God. I'd like to spend my free time doing something I enjoy, right? But he's all if we can't spend time watching a bad movie that the other person loved what are we doing, do you want to break up? Is this the end? because he's a dramatic little shit. :D

Obviously it wasn't too bad but he was so offended I didn't want to watch his bad movie, I felt bad. Not bad enough to actually watch the movie but, you know what I mean.

And then, oh god, then yesterday a mosquito bit me in the face. Yeah, right in my right cheek and it wouldn't be so bad but today I went to get my driver's license renewed. JFC. So I go and I have long bangs and I sort of tried to cover a bit, the big stupid mosquito bite and the guy who took my photo wouldn't let me.

If that wasn't enough, I tried to look my best, since I had this bite in my face and I figured I could put some make up, you know, but just as I was putting eyeliner I sneezed. :/ I look like a Picasso in my photo.

Anyway, that's what's been up with me more or less. ^^

It's good to be home. :)

Hi!!!!!! Finally! Back from my vacations at last. A bit latter than I originally intended; the airport in Panama didn't have power for over six hours when I was supposed to come back and a lot of flights got delayed and/or cancelled including mine. I had never truly appreciated how nice and cold airports are. Jeez it was hot!

But I survived my family vacations. No small feat this time since it actually included a hurricane. I'm so sorry if I worried you about this, I did keep in touch with LQ and Birds, and Eidheann, and best co-mods Grace & Cissa and they would have totally updated you if there was something to update. It was rather very stressful until the last day when it was really scary and then it was very busy doing all the things. Thankfully, I know we were extremely lucky in our foolishness. But! Hogwarts, and Hogsmeade, and Diagon Alley were wonderful, but it was crazy, crazy, crazy. ^^

Already running to catch up with life and work and fandom. I was supposed to have a buffer day after coming back but that wasn't possible and in fact it turns out I have to travel this Monday again for work which I was not expecting. It's holiday here, but not in the rest of my country and I totally missed that when I accepted and now, well, traveling in a couple of days and missing a day off. Boo!

I'm going to do my best to try and catch up. I'd throw a 'YAY HOME' but oh my god, I rather feel I need vacations from my vacations and I'm so not ready to be back. :O

But in better news, my nipples are on top of their form so I have that going for me. LOL

I missed you so much! ♥ ♥ ♥

2017-09-06 05:08 pm

Random stuff and then less random stuff.

Today I discovered that nipples clamps are not for me. I was hanging my laundry you see, and I made a terrible, terrible miscalculation when I put the clothespins on my shirt so I could then proceed to hang my clothes.

I am bruised and tender and not in a good way.

Moving on, I'm travelling tomorrow. I'm going to Orlando (because, omg, of course, I wanna go to Hogwarts again) and I'm staying until the 19th. Well, so far my flight hasn't been cancelled so the trip is a go and I am working under the assumption it won't be cancelled, but I guess we'll see? :/

I'll try to keep in touch either way. I'll miss you! Please be safe. <3

H/D Big Bang is a thing!

OMG OMG OMG Did you hear? DID YOU HEAR?

Something BIG is coming!

[livejournal.com profile] harrydracobang was announced today and I'm so friggin' excited to finally be able to talk about it! :D

Art by procoffeinating, Banner by [personal profile] capitu

YAS! Harry/Draco 2018 is a thing! :D

But I guess I should actually talk a bit about instead of going into 100% flail mod before? :D

Harry/Draco Big Bang is a community encouraging the creation of fanfics 50K+ and fabulous art. You write your story and collab with an artist that will create art for your fic and together you'll make a gorgeous final piece of fic and art. :D

You can learn more about the process here.

It's very, very early yet, because sign ups open Jan 1st. BUT! It's never too early to think about it! I bet many of you amazing writers have that one story you've been meaning to write for a long while. This is the perfect chance! Not only you'll have the opportunity to have an artist illustrating your but being part of Harry/Draco fun will be so much fun. We'll have activities (seriously, watch the community for future announcements!), chat sessions, sprints and so much more.

There will be lots of things to do for watchers, too. You can be a cheerleader, an alpha reader and help an author or an artist through the creation of their pieces, beta read and generally offer support and be part of Harry/Draco Bang 2018. :)

Please watch the community: [livejournal.com profile] harrydracobang and our Tumblr: @harrydracobang for more updates. We, as in [livejournal.com profile] gracerene, [livejournal.com profile] writcraft & myself are super excited and like, yeah! COME ON! HARRY/DRACO BANG! YAS! \o/
