Ha. I remember you from a lot farther back than you probably realize. I was already reading your LJ before I ever shambled my way into HP fandom, and honestly, your fic is probably at least partially responsible for my being here. So damn you thank you for that!

You're a wonderful musician and artist, a positively brilliant writer, and you're 100% a performer in everything that you do. You have a large and captivating presence that draws people into your orbit. I love seeing your posts, whether they're fic or a rant or a story about your cats or just what you did that day. You have a way with words that makes it all fascinating. I envy that, as well as your willingness to put so many of your thoughts, opinions, and beliefs out there without reservation. One day I'd love to have the opportunity to sit down and chat with you over coffee, 'cause I think it would be a highly interesting and entertaining experience.

If you don't know what the heck this is all about, the explanation is here.

I had a blast meeting you for the first time and hanging out with you at Sectus -- and my god, was that really more than two years ago?? You're a hilarious and spirited person to be around. Your brain is a seriously crack-addled place, and I'd love to be able to see inside it, but I expect I might go insane from the experience. Rather like what happens when one looks upon Cthulu.

As one would expect, you create some of the most cracktastic art in the fandom. But you also do some seriously delicious pr0n, and some very poignant pieces as well. Your diversity is wonderful. Your art is incredibly complex and gorgeous, and your style so distinctive. Your work is uniquely your own; please keep doing what you're doing!

You already saw this, but for everyone else's benefit:

Jin was a fanartist expert,
Who drew crack and porn most overt.
"I'd come out of the gutter,"
She said, "but I'd rather
You all joined me down here in the dirt!"

Saturday, I made baked chicken, hash browns, and a salad. For dessert we made and sipped a spiced chai latte

For dinner today, we made Braised Short Ribs…Recipes below

For today’s dinner, I did short ribs in the oven.

For the last 24 hours my nephew has been in Emergency with a serious flare-up of Chrohn's disease. He's managed to control this pretty well for years with diet, and now they're trying to decide whether there's a medical solution, or whether they're going for surgical (surgeon seeing him tomorrow). WTF went wrong? Until this happened he was in tip-top physical shape, despite occasional poor patches (martial arts instructor, and beautiful to look upon – and I'm his aunt).

We have bush fires all over the shop – NSW, Vic, SA, Qld (but not here in the ACT). Specifically, there's a major fire just the other side of the road we take to Mudgee on Tuesday (to attend a concert series every year). Tonight they are expecting two changes of wind direction. I wonder what tomorrow will bring? When I think about that road running through deep isolated bush, I really don't want to meet fire. We're trying to keep on top of the fire incidents advisory.

And it seems fair to say I'm in some kind of self-destructive mode, in that I'm still having terrible trouble writing the fest fics I committed to, this season.

Love the new behind-the-scenes HBP pics!

I've wanted to do one of these about you from the beginning, but I think I've been putting it off because I'm not sure what I'm going to write. It's not that I don't have anything to say about you, or that I don't have plenty of thoughts and feelings about you. But those thoughts and feelings are complex and multi-layered, and you're complex and multi-layered, and I'm not sure where to start.

Perhaps it's easiest to begin with the music angle, because I knew you as a musician before I knew you as a friend. I've always thought you were a very talented musician with a amazing voice. Over time I came to see the genuine love you have for it -- for the music itself, and the creation of it. I think you're one of those people who makes music because you just can't not make music; it's just an intrinsic part of who and what you are.

I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to get to know you beyond that, however, because you're one of the most singular and original individuals I've met -- and I've known a lot of unusual folks. There's just no one else out there remotely like you. You're intelligent, diverse, witty, fun, loyal, determined, and about a zillion other adjectives I could list. But listing them is fairly pointless, because a collection of words can't adequately describe the overall sense of you that exists in my head. So, er, I might as well just stop trying and tell you that you're seriously awesome and totally one of the cool kids. ;)

OMG, they are naked!

Finally I am writing fic where the boys are undressed in less than 5000 words. 

Kisses both boys soundly, and gives them chocolate and Firewhisky to share.  Kisses Muse too, even if she gives inspiration and whole paragraphs while I am in the shower and have 15 minutes to get to work after.

The boys are naked!!!!!!

Guh.

OK, want some Anthony fic now plz...

Goodness.

Only just wading through my overflowing friends page. So thank you's to: iibnf, mabiana, ariadneelda, venturous, maddiec24, dacro, r_grayjoy, quiescent

for the well-wishes!

If I missed you, I probably haven't seen your post yet. I might not until much later, either, as I must get ready for a very rare night out with my beautiful spouse, who is going to take me somewhere (I don't know where) for my birthday. :D

*looking forward to it!*

You've been a fixture around the fandom for ages, and the place would feel terribly empty without you here. You have so much enthusiasm for fandom and put so much into it, from writing to reading to reccing to running fests. It's really fantastic and inspiring to see.

Of course, I love seeing your posts whether they're fandom-centric or not. They're always interesting, and I'm impressed by what an intelligent, diverse, and involved person you are. In addition to all of that, you're nice, friendly, caring, and approachable. You're one of the people who helps to make fandom feel like a community to me, and I appreciate that more than you can imagine. Thanks for everything!

Happy Birthday!!!

Also, OMG, two-thirds of the way through the month! I can't believe I've lasted this long...

This is just a snippet of a story I'll never write.

( read on )

Christ in a crock pot, Cel, I wish I were half as together as you. It seems like you spend nearly every waking hour being productive in some way, and damn, I admire and envy that. You're one of the most motivated and down-to-earth people I know, and clearly a force to be reckoned with. You're also one of the most bold. You rarely hold back from stating your position on subjects in the most direct terms, and while I might not always agree with what you have to say (although I probably do at least 80% of the time), I appreciate your courage and honesty. You seem to have the same sort of confidence in your writing. You're probably the least likely person on my f-list to wibble about whether a fic is up to par. The confidence is entirely appropriate, though. You're a talented writer who write some of the most entertaining and captivating fics I've read.

Beyond all of those things, though -- or perhaps in spite of them -- you're genuinely nice, friendly, and a lovely person to be around. It's unfortunate that's I've been a little out-of-it and brainless on the occasions I've been able to see you. I hope I have another opportunity to prove I'm not always floating around in outer orbit. ;)

If you don't know what the heck this is all about, the explanation is here.

Ring came. Packaged well.
Flipping gorgeous.
YAY!

Well, I thought my plate was insane, but really, it's not.

Snape Big Bang:
has an official extension on it. (But I still want to get in by this weekend.)

Yuletide: (Dec. 21)
1,000 words
was started in a sleeping-pill induced haze. I sincerely hope they're into experimental post-modernist writing because wow did I go back to my roots with this one...

Wizard Love: (January 18)
1,000 words
Not started yet.

Percy Big Bang: (Rough 4/16; Final 6/16)
15,000 words.
Not started yet.

Once I finally had my snapelyholidays fic submitted, I turned to helping ragdoll sort out assignments for wizard_love. WOW, that was quite a task. Nearly everyone requested a range of pairings, so it wasn't really a matter of matching the Snermione people together or the Luna people together; we had to look for specific pairings in common and make sure the types and degree of kinkiness were a good fit and and and. Yeah, it took a while.

We got all 67 assignments sent out yesterday evening and on time, though. Of those, 43 have already reported back to let us know they've been received. So far everyone sounds happy (some of them very, very happy) with their assignments, which is awesome. One person felt that they didn't get a good match, but we did some juggling and fixed that problem right away. So all is well on that front.

In other news, we've started getting a few things in for daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas, and OMG! December on the comm is going to be awesome. I know there will be tons of holiday fests happening, but you all really want to watch Kinky Kristmas. Trust me.

I'm so looking forward to the holiday fests this year!! …Is it too early to switch to my holiday default icon..?
