Show Me Your Pottericons
The one that makes you most nostalgic for a fannish moment, creative work, event, person, place, ship or thought. Or your oldest one, or the one that makes you think of Harry Potter - the books, the movies, the fandom.
Bothering Snape was, for me, one of the first examples of animated fannish creativity that I saw, and possibly that there was in the HP fandom. Has anyone in HP fandom not seen it? If you haven't, it's here. It's not quite as catchy as The Mysterious Ticking Noise, which fans around the world do while waiting at premieres, or in the line at Universal for The Forbidden Journey, but it was original and ridiculous and I will always love it.
If I hadn't chosen this one, I would've used my "When Will I See You Again?" which mashes up the icons from most of the cons I've attended, with some Terminus thrown in because I wished I could've been there but my husband had had surgery that week, so I just read all the posts and looked northward with a bit of a green eye.
Oh, and did you see FictionAlley flash on the screen on the CBS Evening News last night? When I was 13 and 14, we had to watch the news nightly for my Debate class, and take specific notes and were quizzed on things large and small every Friday. Now, to have the site on the program that I watched conscientiously is bizarre and neat. (SQUEE for Jaida being interviewed for it about the Shoebox Project, too! Slash on the nightly news? O_O)
