I can't express how excited I am about all the fests and fandom activities that are going on right now. It always depresses me when I click on my friends page and there are only a few posts for the day. December is always filled with so many posts, stories, and art. And I want to read every single one of them! Well, at least I'm going to attempt to read as many as possible. I'm so glad that I got so much writing done in November because something tells me that December will not be a 50K month.
I apologize in advance if this post seems like a giant jumble of recs. There are so many awesome fests going on that I feel the need to rec them ALL.
So far, all the art and fics posted at
hd_holidays have been great! If you haven't checked them out yet, what are you waiting for?
mini_fest submissions have been wonderful too. There is a really hot
Charlie/Draco fic that I know I will be rereading soon. And, of course, there are all the advent drabbles and holiday challenges that I will start reading in a few days. I like to wait until there are a couple drabbles piled up before I start reading. The
luciusbigbang and first
snape_draco fests have also just wrapped up. Both have some really great pieces and I wrote for both of them. *hint hint*.
ashiiblack and I actually co-wrote our piece for
luciusbigbang and the pairing is Lucius/James. Yes, Lucius/James. I know that it's a rare pair, but trusts us that it makes sense in the fic and universe. If you like slash or ship H/D, I think you'll like it. After all, there are plenty of traits we love about H/D in Lucius/James. Besides, Lucius is just sexy. Always.

A/N: A special thanks to
freakingcrups for being such a great beta and to
ashiiblack for being so easy and flexible to work with. I'm so glad you convinced me to join this fest. Writing Lucius was a challenge but a fun one.
