LJ COCKTAIL PARTY!

[applecede]

My theme is, um, I don't know. It's a hodgepodge. I'm sorry. It's early, early Saturday morning for me. I'll wake up in a few moments!

See this post for more parties and this post for details :D

Name: Laura
Ships and from what fandoms: HP fandom. Draco/Ginny, Draco/Hermione, Blaise/Hermione, Adrian/Hermione, Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione. Ginny and Hermione are my HP whores :D
Favorite romantic couple? Be it from book, or movie, song, music video, history, current events, etc: Erik/Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Although...they didn't quite become a "couple," but still...
Favorite Olympic event to watch: ice-skating
Favorite song: "Anywhere" by Evanescence
Favorite current icon: The one right now.
Favorite fic one-shot: "Journals" by cyropi (D/Hr)
Favorite fic novel: Cassandra Claire's Draco Trilogy
Know what, I can't think right now. Tell me anything: Music is my life. Literally. If you took music away from my life, the only thing I'd be doing is eating, sleeping, and generally be a waste of skin and space.

Rec me:
1. A film: Phantom of the Opera XD
2. A book: Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown if you haven't read it yet.
3. A musical artist, song, or album: Blindside
4. An LJ user not on my friends list: lady_draherm
5. A fic: You may have read this, but Rising from the Ashes is a great angst D/G. If you're interested, I can tell you where to find it, the sn, and the password.

Well that was fun!

Oh! I LOVE how you can do both Draco/Ginny and Draco/Hermione :P As for excellent Blaise/Hermione, have you read tamlane's stuff? You can find it in her memories. She has D/Hr as well as Fred/Hermione, which is a ship I love. But definitely, definitely read Three Word Limit and The Arithmancy Text. YUM AND FUN I SWEAR!

Thanks for ALL the recs :) I'll swing by lady_draherm later and definitely read "Journals." Oh! I haven't heard of Blindside, either, so that's what I'll be downloading later :P

Music...what kind of music do you like? Name a few artists? If you're in the mood for sampling new flavors, I'll rec you a song :)

[toothpick349]

I'm one of those rare D/Gers who love D/Hr, and vise versa. Both are very complicated ships, and I like it that way :)

tamlane is amazing! She's so funny. I've read a few fics of hers, but not those. Thanks for the rec! Her Blaise is probably my favorite out there.

Blindside is great. If you love guitars and screamers/singers (they do a mix of both), you'll like it. I definitely recommend their half English, half Swedish song "Shekina." It's gorgeous, and nothing like the rest of their albums' songs.

Hmmm...I like rock music in general. My favorites being Blindside, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Blink 182, basically anything in the rock/alternative category. And yes, I'm in the mood for some new ones! Rec it!

[applecede]

*grins* I know what you mean. I'm that way as well. Although I don't actively search for D/Hr, I'll read it if someone recs it my way ;)

She is great :D I keep hoping she'll finish "The Aritmancy Text." Begging is on list of things to do in the future.

Ooh, that's great. Guitars/screamo reminds me of Atreyu, have you heard their stuff? You can find them at PureVolume.

I hope you haven't heard this song before - "Downfall" by Trust Company. I love this band :)

[toothpick349]

Haha! I just finished reading what you rec'd me, and omg I really hope she does extend "The Arithmancy Text." Her Blaise, as I've said before, is my favorite. He's so addicting. You just wish he was real. Note-stealer and all.

No, I haven't, actually. I'll search for them in the morning, it's getting late here.

I've heard of the band, but not the song. I'll have to listen to it on the other computer, though. This one is too old and too slow for my fast paced, high-tech stuff. Meh. Thanks, though! I'll tell you about it in the morning!

Oh, I've bookmarked Tam's stuff. *is excited for more Blaise* Thanks for the links!

[applecede]

*grins* SAME HERE. She totally left that open for some great Blaise/Hermione interaction. Definitely. To be honest, I've read maybe 5 Blaise fics - and only one where he was a main character - it was a Blaise/Ginny by davesmom at ff.net, but her Blaise remains my ultimate favorite as well.

No problem! I think you'll like it. If not, watch the trailer for the movie - pretty sure it's In Too Deep - and that might make you like it a bit more.

*grins* Not at all, you're welcome! Passing on the love is a good thing :)

[toothpick349]

Oh, you've read "Aflame" by Davesmom? That's a pretty good fic. It's kinda smutty, but that's okay because it's all UST. :D

The song is in the GoF trailer? That's amazing! I hope when we go see Star Wars sometime soon that they have the trailer. I heard some theaters only have the trailer in the odd numbered theaters. Hopefully that's not the way with the theaters around my place.

cliodnahpfan writes D/Hr, and is working on a new smut piece. I don't read it at all, but I like her D/G stuff, so I feel relatively safe in the recommendation.

[applecede]

Ooh, excellent, because I haven't read her D/G either, so it's a double rec. Like rocky road ice cream.

Oh man, I am SO hungry.

[mynuet]

Woot! *gives you two scoops*

[applecede]

Ooh! Favorite flavor of ice cream?

Mine's mint-chocolate chip. Strawberry, cookie dough, cookies n cream, rocky road, cappuchino, dark fudge - all that follows.

[mynuet]

Edy's Samoas ice cream, closely followed by butter pecan.
