Chapter 24
Chapter 25 - The End

It's that time of year again.

What is it?

It is an exchange where people draw art on a blank post card, make some sort of crafty item, make a collage, write a poem on handmade paper, cookies (note allergies), or maybe even knit a Weasley sweater, and mail it to your recipient by the Holiday season. Last year there was a good smattering or beautiful art, as well as amazing crafts and stories. (I love my SOCKS!) The point is to send something creative to your recipient with a Harry Potter theme. Who doesn't love getting fun stuff in the mail?

Even if you think you aren't creative, can't draw or paint or write, join up anyway. If all you can do is stick figures, by all means, draw stick figures!

Who can participate?

Anyone with a love for art, getting things in the mail and Harry Potter. You don't have to be on my Flist, so pass this on if you want.

And yes, International participants are of course welcome!

Note: those who signed up but did not fulfill their obligation last year are not allowed to participate.

( Harry Potter Themed Art Card Exchange )

I started two LJ coms for setting up gatherings and introductions, meeting people, all that for Azkatraz.

azkatraz_hpdm and azkatraz_hpss

Please pass on the word! Join up! Introduce yourselves and let's get planning!! :)

We need a varied amount of prompts for the Veela prompt fest over at LJ. Please come and drop your plot bunnies that have been nesting in the back of your mind. You do not have to participate to leave a prompt!

Like creature fics and art? Love werewolves and vampires and veela and those other weird creature-types that people make up? So do we! Come submit a prompt and pick one up in two weeks to write your creature fic or draw your creature art! Share the love that is creature styled fandom!

Happy Birthday klynie1

I know you don't check LJ anymore, but I just wanted to wish you the best day.

I know I really only use this journal as a fic journal, but hey, I came here with fandom... not that I left LJ.

Anyway... I have so many nifty plot ideas in my head. I have the World Cup (GO TEAM EWE) all worked out and I have my HDS-Beltane fic all worked out as well. Both are angsty. It has be sickeningly excited and all I want to do lately is sit and write. Or play Morrowind. It's a toss up.

I kinda wanna talk plot with people, but I suppose I shouldn't. Not right not yet. I'll wait till I think I am too damned stuck and then bother people with my mucky bits.

Go plot! Rah Rah Rah!!!

I've already pimped this on my LJ, so I will pimp it here as well.

hds_beltane (at LJ) fic exchange is up for round two! sign-up here!!

If you like Harry and Severus and Draco all in the same story (and who doesn't like a Slytherin sandwich) then this is your fest. Though you can have only two if you like. It only happens once a year, so don't miss this! And check out the list of people signed up for this one. I'm so damned excited!!

Also, I did this exchange last year (its first year) and it was done really well. I'm looking forward to what comes out of it at iteration two.

My day was pretty basic. I hope you guys have a more interesting time, in a good way.

So I'm going birding this weekend. It's been months since I've gone birding and I need to get out of here and hit the coast. Lots of good birds on the coast. Though I need new tires on my car. Hmm, maybe tires then birding. ;)

I need to call my birding pal to see if he wants to go with me. I need more birding friends. Maybe I can do a craigslist search. Oh yeah, that will bring out the crazies! Of course, I troll craigslist, so what does that say about me?

I love it when Naruto goes all foxy. And Kiba and Akimaru are so cute when they merge together. Caught up on some Naruto yesterday, can you tell?

Now I gotta go apply for the HD World Cup!

Harry Potter/Severus Snape

• A Second Chance: by her_ghost
  snarry_holidays '07: Severus is granted a second chance, but he loses
  something important. Harry offers to help him. NC17


• Echoes:
  by gingertart50
  snarry_holidays '07: Everyone has been given perfume for Christmas,
  odd things happen as a result and Harry finds himself juggling match-making
  children, senile household appliances and two very fraught relationships.
  


• Haunts and Memories: by ships_harry
  snarry_holidays '07: Just because someone is dead doesn’t mean their
  existence is simple. Severus is trapped, haunting his own deserted
  corner of a graveyard. Harry discovers that love can be more complicated
  than he ever imagined. With Art!
  


• Slow Convergence by Iteration: by dracofiend
  snarry_holidays '07: Harry struggles with Occlumency, and Snape. He can but try.

Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy

• But hold me fast, let me not go: by snottygirl
  HD mpreg fest: An unexpected encounter with Harry Potter changes Draco
  Malfoy's entire life. Now things have changed again, and it might
  be time to let Harry know.


• Never the Same Again: by dragon_charmer
  HD mpreg fest: The war is over ... in fact it never really got started
  because the Dark Lord proved to be the more powerful. Now five years
  after Dumbledore's death, Draco Malfoy has something else to worry
  about besides being a spy. NC17


• The Infection: by Dacro
  HD mpreg fest: Blaise Zabini believes he's won the last laugh after
  leaving Draco with a nasty reminder of just what happens when you
  spurn a Slytherin. What he doesn't anticipate is what is unleashed
  when you screw with a Gryffindor—especially one with Potter's courage
  and dumb luck.


• The Price We Pay For Wings: by anonymous
  hd_holidays 07: H/D, Albus/Scorpio: Books have the power to shape
  young lives. At least that is the hope of the anonymous author of
  a best-selling series about a Muggle boy and his best friend on the
  eve of a world war. But stories do more than just shape the future:
  they can redress the wrongs of the past as well. But only as long
  as it’s not too late... Soft R.

So, I know I am rarely on this journal, but I feel I have to say something as the New Year pops around. I mean, I could promise to read it more, get in touch with all of you who have moved to IJ permanently, but I know unless I cut down my LJ reading, I won't get to reading IJ that much more unless I get rid of some other of my bad habits.

But I will try. I will try to pop in here at least once week and post an update and read through everyone's journals who are not also updated on LJ.

That is my InsaneJournal New Years Goal!

Cheers!

Rec Page Updated!!!

I'm kinda mopy. I'm homeless in a month. I don't like my job. I'm single.

At least I have my health, huh.

I'm just blogging to whine now... whine Nessa whine.

I was looking at a cute house to rent, but it got snagged already. I can still go month to month at my current place, but it is pretty pricy. I just don't want to go to another apartment complex. I want a home.

anthimaeria gave me this idea, so I will join in. It is a fic round-up of all the fic I have written for 2007. So here it goes...

There is still one I have written this year that hasn't been posted/revealed for the hp_wintersmut's exchange. But this is pretty much everything I have ever written and posted other than drabbles. All but two are from this year. Wow... (I think) I have written a lot! Eight stories.

( winnett's fics )

Hey everyone. Here is a list of fic from exchanges that I read and liked last month. I will try to keep this up for everyone for the next month as well.

Also found on my HP rec list.

Whispers: by anonymous
snarry_holidays '07: Auror Harry Potter infiltrates "Whispers" – a
Slytherin-owned gay wizarding sex club – to uncover a Galleon laundering
scheme.

Yule Gifts: by anonymous
snarry_holidays '07: The approaching holidays have Harry pondering
the turns his life has taken four years after defeating Voldemort
and a desire to start his own traditions.

Caught up in the Hope of Maybes: by anonymous
HD mpreg fest: “Draco?” Harry whispered. Draco felt the soothing pressure
of Harry’s hands rubbing his back and, God help him, he could purr
from the sheer pleasure just that touch gave him. He knew he was trembling, shaking, but he couldn’t stop himself. PG13

If Wishes were Children: by anonymous
HD mpreg fest: Harry has tried to move on with his life since Draco
abruptly broke up with him months before, but it’s been a struggle.
Then, on a joyous day at the Burrow, Narcissa Malfoy suddenly appears….

In the Family Way: by anonymous
HD mpreg fest: COMIC: A not so typical morning in the Malfoy-Potter
household.

Jolene: by anonymous
HD mpreg fest: Harry comes back from a mandatory holiday and finds
that an Auror raid on his favourite establishment could expose his
biggest secret. However, another has even more secrets than he does
at stake.

Sperm Cow: by anonymous
HD mpreg fest: Draco needed an heir and he set his sights on Harry's
sperm. Harry just wanted a family. Well, and maybe Draco, too. Toss
in a few life debts, a few obscure parental rights laws, and two clueless
men who think they have it all figured out, and you have one heck
of farce. R

To Create a Life: by anonymous
HD mpreg fest: Harry’s never been good about listening when someone
tells him ‘no’. PG

Unconventional:
by anonymous
HD mpreg fest: 'It was just the result of yet another hasty, poorly
thought out decision that he'd made, albeit a wee bit tipsy at the
time, that was going to have eighteen years worth of consequences.
A consequence that had a name, and ten tiny fingers and toes, but
a consequence nonetheless.'

Undesirable No.1: by anonymous
HD mpreg fest: Draco Malfoy had always respected and protected the
Old Ways. That was, until they suddenly interfered with his way of
life and his firm abdomen. Now he desperately needed to reason out
with Potter or better yet to trick him…

With all of the new fic exchanges and art exchanges and everything coming up, I expect you, my lovely flist, to post lots of recs, because there is no way I can keep up with everything.

Any pairings, any kinks, anything good.

I will, of course, reciprocate. :)

I was home sick on Thursday so I read a ton of fan fic. A ton. My rec list (which is happily updated for October), is now almost as long as my October posting just from the first weekend of November.

BTW, hd_inspired's mpreg exchange (over on LJ) is amazing. All of the stories are wonderful. I especially liked Sperm Cow and Caught up in the Homes of Maybes. If you like H/D and you like mpreg (even if you don't) go read them!!

NaNoWriMo has won round one. I am about 3,000 words behind. So I've kinda put my main idea (autobiography) aside and am now just writing more of Rain... Yeah, I know... I kinda feel like I'm cheating, but I don't care! As long as I get my word count by the end of the month, I don't care what I've written about. *stomps foot*

Hey yall.

I've just finished If You've A Ready Mind by mistful and I love the Stealing Harry series by samvimes...

Does anyone else have any suggestions for fic that are retellings of the books? I'm good with any character POV as long as it is well written.

Thanks!

I'm going to try to start my art recs again over on my fandom journal on LJ. I'll periodically post links here for those interested.

Here are my recs for the Snarry Games so far.

Snarry Art Recs!

Normally I write out why I liked it... but I'm behind on so much right now, I just linked them.
