Wow.

I've left prompts at both hd_fan_fair  and teddy_fest , both with background R/S and both got picked. How awesome is that? The teddy_fest  fic has James II/Teddy as the main pairing. I only left the prompt at hd_fan_fair  to be supportive of the mods who have been so supportive of rs_career_fest  but now I am really excited to see what gets done with the prompt. I wish I could write H/D but I can't wrap my head around antagonistic pairings, at least not for writing, anyway. I've read a little H/D, mostly that of catsintheattic  and by the end of the fics I was convinced, but I still can't write it. Probably for the same reasons I can't write Sirius/Snape. I can see the appeal of the pairing but I have a feeling that if I tried both boys would be horribly OOC as I tried to make them both behave nicely and be all saccharine. Anyway, I just love the thought of Greece as a getaway for spoiled purebloods who all have summer homes there or something. Of course, this love is heavily influenced by toujours_nigel  who put it in my head in the first place with Cygnus Black way back, but whatever. I still love it and I love it even more when pureblood religious roots are steeped in Greek mythology. Thank you, toujours_nigel  for that. I didn't include that in the prompt but maybe it will get worked in.

rs_career_fest  is almost completely wrapped up and I still can't go over how awesome all the fic and art was and what a great response the fest had. Reveals go up in a a little under a week and I can't wait to for everyone to see who wrote what. I still have a few reviews to leave which I will get done before the reveals are up.

Next on my plate is a fic for eprime  who beat werewolfsfan  in an epic bidding war (okay, maybe only epic to me but it still made me grin and blush, those two were fierce!) at gulf_aid_now . I have ideas and ideas and ideas. I've got the first sentence written and after that it pretty much writes itself. As soon as my reviews for rs_career_fest  are posted that will be next priority.

After that I start major research for a fic that is probably beyond my actual abilities but I'm going to try anyway. I can't say more than that because it is for rs_games . Suffice it to say, I am intimidated and have probably bitten off more than I can actually chew.

And lastly I've been thinking of posting my bigbangblackout  fic to my AO3 account. It is a huge oneshot and I've gotten complaints at grangerenchanted and ff.net that I should have broken the fic down into chapters but I seriously don't know where the breaks would be. So. Still hemming and hawing over that.

Not much RL to tell that is worth telling so I'll let this be a fandom post. I really wish I could rec all the rs_career_fest  fics but as a mod that sort of thing is frowned upon I understand. So I will resist. Though, I signed up for crack_broom  and I'm flying in September. I can rec there, can't I? Thoughts?

Anyway, I haven't had a how are y'all post in awhile, so how are all of y'all doing?

My only problem with recc'g at crack_broom is paring choices down each time. I've begged for more participation several times in the rs_prophet because if we get moved to rare pairs we will be relegated to the status of pairings like Hermione/Marcus! I'm always afraid that if it's only me that signs up, they'll kick us off of rotation so I have bit my tongue when I was seething over no shows.

I know a couple of people who took down all of their entries EXCEPT one that I had recc'd there. This is why I keep telling people to leave appreciation for fanworks. I can only be so many places.....

I was thinking about it already but this made me go ahead and sign up. R/S definitely deserves a higher ranking than Hermione/Marcus!

[werewolfsfan.livejournal.com]

YAY!

[ceredwensirius.livejournal.com]

SCORE! This is why I signed up as well and I've talked whitmans_kiss (who, incidently, got me into the ship) into doing it and I'm still working on toujours_nigel. I don't think I got a yes from her yet. I'd have to review the chat logs, lol. EVIDENCE!


Not really. But it would be a shame for R/S to lose the standing there. Sirius/Hermione is a rarepair not Sirius/Remus, and I say that with love for both ships.

There is just such an embarrassment of riches available on board HMS Wolfstar that we need to add to the library at crack_broom...........
The rarer pairs don't have as many great offerings to put up at a rate of a dozen a month.

I've looked through crack broom before of course, but I didn't pay close attention and I guess I just assumed that most of the good stuff would be there already given how popular R/S is or used to be anyway. That's one reason I hesitated.

[ceredwensirius.livejournal.com]

No, not at all. I'm not as well versed in the older stuff, but whitmans_kiss is always tossing recs my way. I tend to read and then forget where she found them but I won't do that anymore.

[eprime.livejournal.com]

Thank you, whitmans_kiss. :)

[whitmans-kiss.livejournal.com]

It was my pleasure, truly. ;D
