Hello Out There!
I shall start this post by saying that I wish a very happy birthday to Snegurochka_Lee (it's after midnight here). She is pretty much the only person I am still in contact with from my first fandom home and it makes me so happy she is still around in Harry Potter fandom and I love seeing her posts, even if I am rubbish at commenting ever. She is an amazing author and gives good rec and is generally awesome. A lot has changed since we first met (for instance both of us totally used to avoid H/D ;)) but even though we have drifted out of contact I am very happy to know her. I totally blame her for getting me into slash as well! I was happily going along reading Snape/Various Female Characters and she went "Wow, what if Lupin and Snape had sex?! That is such an original idea!" And here I am now.
Second, I have the past few months been getting into fandom properly a bit more. I have never properly dropped out of it, but not having a working computer for 3-4 months last year made me drift further out then ever before. I've been enjoying some of the HP_Darkfest fics and a few other things and I am totally looking forward to Christmas fests. I still love the Harry Potter world so much, even after more than ten years after (nearly 11 in fact) I first got addicted. Because of it I have met so many lovely people and even gotten closer to my sister. I am so lucky to have rl friends because of HP fandom. Now, we don't always talk about Harry Potter sometimes we talk about kink but it is great to have friends with whom you can analyse whether items in any given shop are the correct shade of pink for Draco to wear them.
I had an amazing hallowe'en weekend at an amazing place with amazing Harry Potter fans (I had so much fun cosplaying Hermione much of the weekend, and Andromeda on Saturday evening for the family reuion from hell!). Thanks a lot to this I have even been writing and am considering doing HP_kinkfest. I was not sure, but son_of_darkness was telling me I should do it and Hedonisticated gave me a bit of a bunny. Which will probably not be SSC or even RACK! :P It is scary the thought of writing something and putting it out there, it has been so long!
Finally, Christmas is less then a month away! This is so cool! Eee! *throws snowballs*
P.S. Blah blah, I know I haven't updated in over a year, posts apologising for that are so dull. But I am sorry.
