(either IJ or my dial-up internet is being wonky - trying again)
Ooops - slight goof r/t the fact that I didn't keep the same journal name when I switched over to LJ.
I was "subtle_simmer" and "weasleyfan" at LJ. I'm shanti_writes, here. :) I don't use "weasleyfan" at all anymore, and "subtle_simmer" is only a rpg journal which is still active. I think I used the accounts interchangeably when reading/commenting on <lj user="lupin_snape" while logged in to LJ, before the move here.
I'm listed here with the subtle_simmer journal as a first-time participant, so I thought I'd better mention something because most folks won't know who that is! *grin*
Sorry for the confusion!
Also, I second and third and fourth and one millionth what has been said and still can't be said enough - thank you so much for all your hard work with this fest!!
