It's a beautiful day!
I am amazed and know not what to say. I feel like such a fandom fangirl, but I'm going to say this anyway. It's almost like J K Rowling herself complemented something I said, I'm in such a dither. Why? well...
1) Lissanne approved my application to be part of the hphg_ficathon with my incessant plot bunny. (Tentatively titled "Just Called to Say...")
2) As if that weren't enough, Athena (L.C.McCabe) whose work I admire very, very much offered to beta read my drivel. I'm flattered beyond belief. I hope I can measure up because I currently feel very inadequate and slacker-ish. Yeesh. I should really get to work on turing it from a five page detailed outline/chapter summary into something resembling a first chapter. Right. I'll get started as soon as I finish the homework I have to e-mail to my graduate student teacher (who's coincidentally the same age I am).
Other random stuff: Sarah asked for a link to the wallpaper I was waxing lyrical about yesterday. (Thanks so much for being my first commenter, sweetie!) Here goes, with many thanks to CutieMcPretty, my "lucky penny" and the brilliant artist behind it.

Also, I'm going to upload my new avatar as soon as I figure out how, so I'm going to give thanks to VeroGeller right now, too. She's "my star" and another very talented graphic artist. It's especially nice that she did this for me since she admitted she's more of a Ron/Hermione person. *Resolves to refrain from saying anything negative about 'Ents' for at least twenty four hours.*
Finally, I've downloaded an LJ client program thingy and I'm still trying to figure it out, so I hope this works. :-D
I hope your day is beautiful, too,
Marie
