Wow! How long as it been since I've written what I've been up to in fandom? Considering the fact that I've actually never posted a post titled "Fandom News", it's probably been a while...

( So, this is what's been going on with me: )

recs, fandom, crack-broom

Awww, you're sweet. Thanks for the compliment. I need to post up the reccers check-in, but the comm runs pretty smoothly. Good luck with the move! :)

Thank you! :D And it's true! I thought that being a mod would be scary and nerve-wracking, but it's actually a cool and very relaxed experience. I'm enjoying it immensely. <3 x

Oh Ely! I'm sorry! I didn't cotton when we were talking brexit that you were moving here permanently. I thought it was just a holiday for some reason. I'm the wrong end of the country to offer much help but good luck! And I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Awesome news on the fandom front. Modding was not my thing but I'm glad you're happy with it. And the fic! Nothing quite like having like minded friends reading your stories! :)

*uses tea icon because it looks very fitting atm*

LOL! Yep, it's for forever. I hope. I actually already found a job! Alright, it's only a nanny job, but they seem to be paying well and they'll give me a contract, which can be useful to open a bank account and get a NI number more swiftly, apparently. Still have to find a flat, but oh well.. I'll keep you updated! Will post selfies of myself living under the Tower Bridge probably.. (At least it's central, isn't it?)

Modding for Crack Broom is remarkably easy, but I think it's because it's a different kind of community: there are no fests or challenges and your minions do all the work. *g*

Oh God! I'm SO happy to have Lugo fans reading my Lugo stories! Every time they say: "I can't stop thinking about the Lugo" or "Lily and Hugo are the cutest together", my heart just melts. (By the way, they're totally using the "Lugo" all the time now!) Hehe! xx

Good luck with the move! I hope to visit London sometime in the next 3-4 years so maybe we can meet! :O

ely_baby March 31 2016, 07:12:17 UTC

Yeashhhhh!! That should totally happen! :D And thank you, hon! I can't wait to be there.. :) xx

I'm sure I will adore it. :*

OMG, good luck with the move, darling!

ely_baby March 31 2016, 07:13:38 UTC

Thank you, Ali! ♥

And thank you, again. :D I'm so looking forward to going to London! :D xx

I'm so glad you've found yourself a little pocket of enthusiastic Hugo/Lily fans! It's awesome to have a group of people to share an OTP with, especially when you post fic and you get comments from people who totally get your love on every level. :) I haven't really had that since my Viktor/Hermione days, eight or so years ago (eep), cause that's the last real OTP I had ( ... )

ely_baby April 2 2016, 07:50:07 UTC

I had this reply ready last night, but my internet died five seconds before I could hit send and LUCKILY I noticed that it had died and saved the comment!! Here you go, my love: (and by the way! Look at Crack Broom!!!!! You were recced! How awesome is that?!)

You're so much right. It is really lovely to be able to share the love you have for your OTP. And those people are just so awesome. Every time they write Lily and Hugo are so cute together! or I'm addicted to the Lugo! I just completely and utterly melt. I also have to admit that I've never had a proper OTP before, though, so I had no idea I could feel like this in fandom - which is ridiculous because I've been in this fandom for the past 13 years. I was probably - but I'm not sure - a Dramione shipper at the very beginning, then Harmony, then Romione. I wasn't a Hinny fan until a couple of years ago and now I can't get enough of BAMF!Ginny and BAMF!Harry fics. *g* (And now I'm still in love with your Zach/Katie ( ... )

I had such a busy day Saturday and hadn't seen the rec on Crack Broom until I got this comment from you, and it put such a smile on my face ( ... )

ely_baby April 6 2016, 11:32:03 UTC

OMG. I am feeling alternatively shocked and relieved that I COMPLETELY forgot to include reallycorking's art in my rec. I decided what to rec months ago and didn't include the art in my list, so I completely forgot it existed (I re-read the story on AO3, didn't remember to check the pic!!). How? How? HOW? I don't know. That's why I'm shocked. I'm relieved because naturally I do have a piece of art from reallycorking to rec in my queue, and I don't like to rec the same creator twice in a month.. Well, I suppose I can sneak in reallycorking's name in my rec now. It really disturbs me that I didn't include her. Thank you for pointing that out to me, hon. I am SO glad to know that you liked it, by the way ( ... )
