So much things! Many excite!

Every time I check the internet there's something new and exciting to squee about!!

this_bloody_cat wrote me a wonderful ficlet!! *flails* Not Quite Entirely Unlike Tea - Figuratively speaking, Draco wins all the tricks.

This story is so charming! Draco and Harry are off to tea and bridge at Malfoy Manor, which is not Harry's all-time favorite activity. Draco, scheming Slytherin that he is, decides to spice things up with a bit of under-the-table action. Harry, being the dignified adult that he is, obviously manages to keep his composure entirely. Entirely. Lucius and Narcissa are wonderful, Draco is fantastically deviantous, and Harry is a flustered, charming bucket of wonderful. Do check it out, either on LJ or on AO3!

AND THEN! Two of my prompts posted to Smoochfest!!

The first is a lovely piece of art based on Casablanca: As Time Goes By - “Not an easy day to forget...I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue.”
Then, a darling fic based on The American President: The Minister - Harry meets Draco again years after the war ended. Harry is now Minister and Draco is a lobbyist. Harry decides to pursue a relationship with him, but his very public life interferes.

I was so excited to see both of these prompts claimed!! Both movies screamed H/D to me and I loved what these creators did with them.

Speaking of prompts, claiming is open through June 30th at this year's career fair!

Claiming at this year's hd_fan_fair starts on June 17th!

I've claimed a prompt and cannot wait to get started. AND I've had a prompt claimed for art! Mystery artist, if you're out there, I'm so, so psyched to see what you do with it!! Very much part of the crowd that will have trouble waiting for posting to start!

But in the meantime, I'm also chomping at the bit to get cracking on HP Silencio!



There's a prompt I want so badly. It's already half written in my head, and since submissions have to be under 5k, I figure it's totally compatible with other fest commitments. There are two days of prompting left, and claiming starts on Saturday!

tl;dr: I love fandom!!! And am kind of beyond myself with excitement!

You wonderful person, you :') ♥♥♥

Cannot wait to read all those wonderful things you're plotting! I saw your whore!Draco prompt get claimed and I was so ridiculously excited about it I was going to tell you... but then I thought, Lulu, you silly thing, it's her prompt, surely she's noticed x'D Still! Excitement!

You wonderful person, you! *pets ficlet*

I maaay have been stalking the prompts a little. I was so excited to see it get claimed!! But we can still squee together!!!!

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

YES. We can. There will be art, OMG! With Draco in leather. Hopefully. Well done, you! Mission accomplished xD I'm actually still stalking the prompts, there were so many I wanted to see claimed, I'm probably going to keep stalking them for a while...

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

I will definitely be stalking them a while more. There are so many I want to write! Seeing as I couldn't actually claim 18 prompts, I'm fervently hoping that someone else will bring the other 17 to life.

And yes! Draco maybe in leather. A mission I am always keen to see accomplished.

One must have noble goals in life *nods wisely*

All these fests!! The more I find out about Career Fair, the more excited I get about it. You're writing for it? Another reason to be even more excited. <3

And Silencio!! I was really impressed by all the stories last year and I've been looking forward to it happening again this year. :D

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! You're lovely! I'm getting very excited about, especially when I see who's participating. (That would be you. Excitement intensifying!)

Yes, silencio! I've read a couple of last years and was intrigued/impressed. And then...sometimes you see a prompt and it's just all over. Claimed at first sight. I hope!

Fandom is definitely kicking ass and taking names right now.

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Seriously! Embarrassment of awesome riches.

:D

I feel like as the year progresses I just keep getting more and more excited about things! There are just so many awesome fests and so many talented artists and writers and prompting has just been so much fun!

This has been a good month for fest posting and fest prompting. :)

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Yes, me too! There's been so much good work, and when I think about the rest of smoochfest + career fair + silencio + glompfest + erised + undoubtedly others I'm not thinking of, it's kind of unbelievable. Not sure how I'm going to contain it all.

And yes, has it ever!

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Ah, I loved all of those; that ficlet, the fic and the art. So wonderful all of them :)

I'm really intrigued by silencio, that must be a challenge writing for! I can't wait to see what people come up with for that one.

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Yay! So glad you liked!

Yeah, I imagine it will be a challenge (especially, for me, to keep it that short) but I'm excited for it. Feels like the kind of challenge that could do good things for my writing. And at minimum, I'm excited to see what other people come up with!
