I've been wanting to do one of these since birdsofshore and firethesound made theirs. And then 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

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! ♥ ♥ ♥

OMG OMG OMG Did you hear? DID YOU HEAR?

Something BIG is coming!



harrydracobang was announced today and I'm so friggin' excited to finally be able to talk about it! :D

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: harrydracobang and our Tumblr: @harrydracobang for more updates. We, as in gracerene, writcraft & myself are super excited and like, yeah! COME ON! HARRY/DRACO BANG! YAS! \o/

Prompt Claiming is Open at hp_nextgen_fest!

You guys! *rubs hands together* This is an awesome fest for all your Next Gen needs! Surely you also need more Next Gen in your life? :D Come and check the prompts and find something tempting!


And in a completely unrelated note: I NEED THIS T-SHIRT IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.

( when your fandoms collide )

Surely I'm not the only one still watching GoT and in love with Stucky yeah? Who else is with me! \o/

You know, for someone who barely knows how to put a bit of blush and lipgloss I sure pack a big bag of makeup.

I do this to myself every single time. I'm going on a cruise, when am I even going to wear all this makeup - under the assumption in the next day and a half I even learn how to apply it, is a mystery. But I gotta take it.

I'm off! Well, first shower, then finish packing (surely I need some jumpers, right?) then dinner, then a nap, but then I'm off.

I'll miss you! <333

Prompting is open at party_4_potter! A surprise Birthday Party Draco's organising for Harry. :D I hope I can stop by and leave some yummy prompts soon! Please stop by and help celebrate Harry on his birthday. <3

And some recs from hprarefest, which is posting right now! God, I'm so behind with my recs. I have stuff from MONTHS ago that I meant to rec and yet – lamo is me. But I'm trying to do better, so here I offer some Rare Pair goodies.

( Multi-ship slash recs. Including: Harry/Draco, Albus/Scorpius, Snape/Draco, and Ginny/Luna. )

And don't forget to leave some love for the authors, man. Artists and writers ROCK. They deserve all our love, no? Come on! :D

Finally uploaded my new layout for DW. Check it out: capitu. I think like it. :) I sort of had it for ages but it needed some edits here and there, plus I'm fond of my LJ layout so then I figured, I could totally use it for DW. I'm not sure I'm going to get used to it, but for now, hey. Plus, I'm having a horrible week and at least I have this going for me, new fancy layout. ^^

I've been wanting very much to make a rec post for ages. I also figured there's no better way to improve your mood than sharing some goodies, no? :) These are all sort of Teddy-centred. At least he's half the pair.

( 4 Next Gen Recs, two Teddy/James and two Teddy/Scorpius. )

Hope you check them out!

And don't forget to stop by hp_crossgenfest! Claiming is still Open over there. <3

Oh, oh! I totally forgot. Author offerings are open at hp_podfic_fest! This basically mean you offer your stories (as many or as few as you want) for podficcers to read during the fest. It's brilliant! Consider offering some of your gorgeous fic, people! :)

A bit late this year, but better late than never, right? ^^

( 2016 Harry Potter Fests )

For the 2015 Masterlists you can go here and for only Harry/Draco please check vaysh's Harry/Draco Fests in 2016.

And of course, for all current fests potterfests is the place to go.

Phew! ^^ I'll add the dates to the fests as soon as they are announced. And if I neglected to include a fest, please, please let me know. I'd love to add it. :)

Yeah, I'm talking to you. <3

So I had the best birthday. :D I'm going to skip the whole bit where I tell you how depressed and stressed I've been because my kitchen is still not ready. I'm going to skip right over it and tell you how I woke up on Sunday, being away for the weekend, to livejournal notifications telling me how I have the most amazing friends in the history of ever.

I'm not going to even try to pretend I'm embarrassed by the amount of hung!fic and art I got. I'm just going to revel in the fact that my flist knows me so well and roll in that love. *rolls in it*

Seriously, you guys are amazing. I wasn't expecting this. I've had a couple of hard weeks and I honestly wasn't expecting this. Waking up, logging in and see so many messages and posts and gifts it was—I almost have no words, only I have all the words and you're probably tired to hearing but I can't help myself. You guys mean so much to me. You probably think it's just a thing I say, but you have no idea how my life is so much richer and better because you're all part of it.

( *flails forever* )
