a list
Back from hiatus a bit early because
efio_47's off to NYC. Have fun! ♥
Now that that's out of my system--I wanna do something nice for the flist. I just feel like--I don't know all of you as well as I'd like. And yet you're all so full of awesomeness. I want to pile internet hearts on you. >: What would you like? I'll think more on this too.
Regarding Boldthrough07 (see what I did there?), I can't find enough words to express my disgust at LJ, but I'll be staying for non-fandom purposes. You can find me here, at my personal LJ, or over on GreatestJournal. Tell me where to find you? As for the rest of the drama, I'd rather just not talk about it--though I do want to take a moment to say that I greatly admire ponderosa121 and the very classy way she has dealt with, well, everything.- This post-DH rec post has been updated. I'll start up a new rec post once I finish the newest Shousetsu Bang*Bang. Yay, original fics! :)
- I've signed up for
blind_go Round 4, which is "AUs and Crossovers". Writing! I should really try my hand at that again. (Brilliant HP fics have written themselves in my head and have, unfortunately, remained there.)
Speaking of writing challenges and exchanges, I'm beyond thrilled that
merry_smutmas is going to have a fifth year, because it brings so much awesome reading material. I'm crossing my fingers for one or two AS/S or Grindelwald/Dumbledore fics. *G* A girl can hope, right? And I expect amazing things from the third round of
hd_holidays too. (And, maybe, can I hope? For the third, post-DH
big_bang_hd? It's almost too good to be true.) - Regarding this post: http://community.livejournal.com/the_ass_ship/92905.html
Brief summary: some fans started up
the_ass_ship community over on GJ in light of all the banning and drama over here on LJ. The mods of LJ's comm are outraged and deny any affiliation to the GJ version of their community, emphasizing that they are the real, the first AS/S comm, and that if they start another community off LJ--or possibly create a site--they will let all their members know.
I wish I were exaggerating, but I'm not. The post even includes giant font of rage, along with some creative usage of italics and underlines. Because the louder my upset and the larger my text, the more truth stands with my statements.
Forgive my snark; I just can't believe people can be so damned unclassy and immature about something so trivial. Actually, I can, but it's still disappointing.
I'll cut my comments short here because I was working up to a full rant that was very much tl;dr. Suffice to say that I'm not impressed by the mods. Thankfully, I'm in the comm for the members and their posts (art, fics, icons, etc.). Unfortunately, however, as someone said elsewhere, AS/S is not a bastion of good fic--so please rec me anything you particularly like. I fear to tread its waters, much like I fear the general
harrydraco comm.
On another note, the new layout for the AS/S comm? Drives me nuts. Flexible Squares with such a narrow area allotted for post content is not conducive to a community, IMO, because of the prevalence of lengthy amounts of text and the large fanart pictures. Thank god for ?style=mine and ?format=light.

(Except maybe HanaKimi boys. Holy crap. Nothing makes me want yaoi more than reading HanaKimi--and then being utterly frustrated by how adorable the het is...!!)
