I really want to do a game on the Dark Heaven's Trilogy by Kylie Chan

Anyone know of them and would be interested?

[info]lore

day 1 of the rest of my posting life?


At least now I don't have to live for Midnight anymore....

I think it was Ropo who said that when in doubt, post pictures. So, here are the Bones icons I made. What do you think?

______

Good? Bad? I've been trying to rehab the first icon, but to no avail. Booo!

"Draco. Wake up and come look outside! The snow is gorgeous!"

Harry frowned as he stood at the window, and he turned toward to the bed. "Get up! It's a beautiful morning, despite the cold."

Draco gave a mock-snore in answer.

Harry eased up the window, scooping up the fresh snow and packed it into a ball. Taking aim, he threw it at lump that was Draco's blanketed head.

"Ow!"

"Happy Christmas!"

Panicked post is, well, panicked

Okay, so I knew that today was the beginning of the Holiday fest season, but I think I underestimated how far behind I was about to get. Dudes, it's Day ONE and I am already behind! *panics*

1. [info]snapelyholidays started today. The first fic looks delicious (Threesome FTW!)
2. [info]hd_holidays had started (I think it started last night) and I wanna support it since I have friends in it, but I will need help, folks. Please to be reccing on this one, yeah?
3. [info]snarry_holidays ditto number two.
4. [info]daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas looks to be fabulous (oh how I love mah kinky peeps there!), although is it bad that I'm hoping that the fics are on the shorter side? ;)
5. [info]dracoharry100 and [info]slythindor100 both have special Christmas challenges in which I am participating.
6. [info]adventdrabbles! Wheee. The response has already been phenomenal.
7. And I am sure there are other things not listed here that I've forgotten BUT I HAVE YET TO WRITE MY [info]snarry_swap fic, so I can't worry about them ATM! Hence the panic.

Anyway, this is just to say that if I miss something you think I'd like, please let me know.

Also? It appears I am not meant to have an AO3 account. I applied a while back and yet when I checked the status of my application yesterday, it now says they've never heard of me (IIRC, I was number 10 on the list on Friday). Should even I bother reapplying or just take it as a sign that I am not meant to join?

BBT: Penny and Sheldon

So I came across some Sheldon/Penny art links I'd stashed in my bookmarks (I tend to clean out my bookmarks while grading as a form of procrastination that lets me feel like I'm accomplishing something), and I started thinking about the pairing.

Now, I think Sheldon on the show is asexual, but the thought of him and Penny trying to date is hilarious, and my weird little mind came up with some possible dialogue.

Sheldon: "The unspoken rules of dating prohibit engaging in the act of coitus until after a minimum of three dates. I wonder, though, what the rules are about how long it will be before we can engage in a three-way with Leonard."

Penny: O.O

Sheldon: "BA-ZINGA!"

Penny: -.-


ETA: The art I had bookmarked came from here.

[info]adventdrabbles #1: The Most Wonderful Time of Year

Title: The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Snarry
Rating:R

Severus stared around the room. Red decorated nearly every surface from the poinsettia wrapped candles to the shiny balls and bows festooned on each bough of the little tree standing in the corner.

"Is it that time of year already?" Severus huffed.

Harry hummed as he walked past, toeing up to plant a kiss on Severus's cheek.

Severus rolled his eyes and turned to face Harry. It was then that he noticed Harry only wore a small Father Christmas hat, and he was standing under the mistletoe.

Leering, Severus followed Harry, softly singing, "It's the most wonderful time of year!"

[info]unbroken_halo

Woohoo!

A bit of pimpage...

[info]snapelyholidays began posting today and [info]daily_deviant also begins posting today at noon! [info]adventdrabbles has some wonderful little snippets and [info]slythindor100 is hosting 25 days of Harry/Draco!

A Rec + Fest Guessing Game

I rec'd this fic last year and I will again because it's my favorite holiday fic bar none. If you haven't read [info]jadzialove's Humbug I must insist that you do sometime between now and the New Year. It's an absolutely perfect take on A Christmas Carol. I'll refund the purchase price if you don't enjoy it. :P

As everyone's mentioned the fests are starting. I have three anon fics out there in the universe-[info]snarry_holidays, [info]daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas, [info]mini_fest over on LJ. I will write a drabble for anyone that guesses any of the three fics which are mine (and I think at least two are so obvious anyone that regularly reads my fic could figure them out). I will put up a true screened guessing post later on but keep this in mind if you are interested in a drabble (likely written in late January).

ETA: Oooh!, I meant to mention that [info]shadowess completed the table of WTP warnings. You can find them here. Over 23K worth of Snarry in all!

BloMo30: Being a good reader & commenter in fandom gift exchanges....


OK, I said I would write on the good kind of commenting/feedback in fandom exchanges (and in general) for my final NaBloPoMo because tomorrow starts all the holiday gift exchanges. But, I have a tendency to babble about these things, which can be too much information in a messy pile of paragraphs. I should try to keep it simple, right?, so that those considering delurking to comment won't be overwhelmed by the very idea of it. To that end, here is one of my famous lists, the kind where my comments get longer as I go along. ^_^

1. No heavy criticism - Most exchanges are anonymous; the creators can't defend themselves until the end of the month, so your comments sit out there making you look meeeen and the creator's friends froth at the mouth.

2. You just have to give one critical comment? - Say what you liked about the gift and that you have some critiques you'd like to pass on through the mods or that you will leave when the gifter is revealed. Something like, "I have some concrit for you, but I'll come back to leave it when you're able to address my comments as yourself," would be nice.

2.5. No flames! - Think you have the right to criticize anyway? Ok, I won't argue with you on that, fandom has been debating it for years. But be sure to address your issues with the gift without getting personal about it. The story sucks, not the author.

2.75. Don't impose your ideas on "how things should be" on creators during exchanges - Remember, they are creating a gift based on someone's specific wants and desires. If you think Remus would never wear a ponytail, don't complain about or disagree with Remus having a pony tail. That's a comment based on your preferences - which, really, never reflect well on you even outside of exchanges; they just look worse in the context of an exchange.

3. COMMENT ON YOUR GIFT - In the last two years, I've been seeing gifts go unacknowledged all over the place. I think this might be the height of rude in an exchange. You might not like your gift, but you should at least let the creator know you saw it.

3.5. So you hate your gift... - Fine, it happens. Not everyone is a strong creator. Pick out a phrase or two you like and note them, or choose an event in the fic you *did* like, and use that for your comment to your gifter. Say something positive and thank them. You don't have to squee. You don't have to lie. But an effort was made on your behalf and you should thank your gifter for that much. If your gifter sees through your good comments and knows you didn't like the gift, at least they know you saw it. Most creators are dying to know what her giftee thinks, and if it's good or bad, knowing is the most important thing. Plus, again, at least acknowledging your gift makes you look like less of an asshole. ^_^

3.75. Lighten up on your gifter - Sometimes, it seems like people expect the perfect gift in an exchange. Try to remember that your creator isn't psychic (probably). Your gifter can only create based on what was in your sign-up. If some of the elements you asked for are in your gift, and no elements you specifically forbade, give your creator points for that and try to enjoy your gift as it's given.

4. If you read or looked, comment! - Lurkers, this one's for you. Say something, even if it's just "Enjoyed" or "Thank you". Exchange gifts are not like regular works where the creators control the entire piece from start to finish, and, therefore, should be happy with their result, regardless of how many comments it gets. Exchange gifts usually cause creators to step outside their comfort zones or to try something new. Most creators work hard to create just the right piece for someone, and on a deadline. In other words, there's usually more blood, sweat and tears in an exchange piece than usual. Make the extra effort. Comment.

5. Remember where you're posting - If you're reading a gift's replies and you see an icon you love, please don't tell someone you love her icon and then forget to comment on the gift. In other words, don't start up side conversations without first making sure you let the creator know what you thought of the gift. It's just another seriously rude thing I see both in exchanges and on posted creations in general.

Now, please don't interpret the above as messages just for [info] snupin_santa-ers. I've been in and watched all sorts of exchanges. I'm speaking from years of reading along, not as some targeted message to [info - community] lupin_snape members. Also, please note, these are my suggestions for commenters and readers. There's no rule here you have to follow.

That said? Don't forget to Stuff the Stockings... ~_^

Hiiiiiii.

*comes up for air*

OH GOD, FLIST. Is there any better feeling in the world than finishing a deadlined-fic and sitting back, cracking a beverage of your choice, and just, like, not writing fic for at least 24 hours? a;lskjdf. I like writing fic, don't get me wrong. But that feeling you get after finally finishing something you've been sort of chewing on for awhile? Yeah. That's a damn good feeling. :D

Fic-writing binge included making a pot of coffee and writing several thousand words on my birthday last week, which, aaaaaah, how awesome is that?! It was a great day overall, for several reasons, and thanks so much to everyone who wished me well or got me awesome v-gifts and things like that. ♥ ♥ ♥ ! I really appreciated it. Fic-writing in pyjamas with coffee and chocolate! Nothing better.

I have fic recs from like a hundred years ago that I need to write up, and how on earth is it already December 1 tomorrow?! Well, better do it tomorrow, or you'll all be distracted with shiny holiday fests starting. :)

Speaking of which... you're all posting about which ones you'll be watching, so, sure, here goes: my one real commitment is [info]smutty_claus, because that's the only one I'm in, but I'm also going to keep an eye on [info]snupin_santa, naturally, and probably [info]hp_yule_balls and/or [info]hd_holidays a little bit.

And! [info]r_grayjoy kindly reminded me this morning that I have potential gifts coming from prompts I submitted to [info]daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas fest! Not that I'd forgotten it was happening, but I did forget I'd left prompts a few months ago. *headdesk* I just went back and checked my prompts and THEY ARE AWESOME and got claimed and stuff so I'm super excited to see them. :) By the way, listen: I tend to run around the internet leaving prompts wherever they're solicited, so if you've ever claimed one that is meant to have names attached (I always assume they're just sort of going in an anon pile) and written something for me and I haven't seen it because I fail, point it out to me PLEASE. :)

Random: [info]smutty_claus and Kinky Kristmas have my favourite banners and icons so far, though. Hiiiiii, sexy women in lingerie and boots and stuff. ♥

No matter what fests you're following, though, be sure to take a second and leave a few words of feedback if you see something you like. It doesn't have to be long, and it doesn't have to take much of your time, but OH MY GOD it means the world to an author or artist to know you saw and liked their stuff. :)

Signing off with a teenyfic!rec: The Old School Tie by [info]hereticalvision (Harry/Scorpius, PG-13, 300 words). This was the winning entry in last week's Harry/Scorpius Last Drabble Writer Standing contest, for the theme of 'detention,' and it was this wonderful, creative take on the theme. Totally made me smile.

*re-uploads holiday icons, whee!*
