Complete With a Water Slide

I can't really resist. I love the three sentence ficathon! So... Lets say we get started on friday 25th of november!

After Gilmore Girls and the Rory/Logan ship, so was Harry Potter and Draco/Ginny my first fandom. It was the fandom I wrote my first fics in (if you look, you'll find them, but I won't link you because it's horrible stuff. Really, truly, horrible stuff. All my D/G fics are truly crap.) But time flies and you move on from one fandom and into others.

But the last week I’ve been going on a Draco/Ginny fic reading spree. And to do so I’ve just checked out old rec list, and I’ve realised that the Harry Potter fandom is getting… if not exactly old (there are after all much older fandoms), but oldish. There are so many links that are broken, fics that have been taken down, authors who have deleted everything and vanished, old “classics” of the fandom, gone forever! And that makes me sad!

But it has also been really fun. I’ve read fics that was written in the Great Gap between GoF and OotP! Fics where Ginnys name is thought to be Virginia, and it’s so annoying that I almost can’t handle it. Fics with tropes that was new and fresh in the 00s, that are old and used up now, but so good and all that I want. (Arranged marriage fics 4evah!!!)

But it makes me wonder, all these dead links, and silent forums… Is the D/G fandom dead? Is the fandom producing new things? Are there new “classics” that should be read? Does anybody know?

Rec me your favorite Draco/Ginny fic!!

I got inspired and made a banner! I will start the ficathon on Friday November 27th. So start getting excited, and tell friends you think might be interested.




#look at my hipster skills

This is a challenge where you answer a prompt with a fic consisting of only three sentences. It's open to all fandoms and you can post and answer as many prompts as you like. Only one prompt per comment please.

When posting a prompt please format it this way:

fandom, character/pairing, prompt word/sentence.

Lastly, please pimp this to your flist and on Tumblr and everywhere! I'd like as many as possible to come and participate!

Hi LJ! It's been a real long while.

I'm turning 23 on sunday, and I'm really not looking forward to turning 23. I'm looking forward to my birthday, because birthdays are brilliant things, and I love mine. But, I'm turning 23. That's a little too old, when thinking of all the things I haven't done yet. I haven't started studying, I haven't found love. I'm all alone in a crappy, rainy city, far away from my parents and friends, and I'm turning 23!

Other things. Why is LJ so slow?

Other other things: Come play at the Three Sentence Ficathon!

Popping up from no where to ask you all if you are up for a three sentence ficathon? I'm so up for it, but I can't very well do it by my self now, can I? :) Let me know, and I'll start one up. Let's have fun!

So I've just finished reading Daenery's second chapter? I think it's her second, she's not getting much page time. They've just been escorted to that Q something city. Anyway, here's some of my thoughts: (SPOILERS)

( My favorite character is definitely... )

Please, no spoilers!

I just finished reading A Game of Thrones and while I had watched the series, George R.R. Martin writes so very well, and the details kept my attention and I flew through the last couple hundred pages. And tonight I'll start on A Clash of Kings. I can't wait!

But here's two things I wondered about after reading. ( Spoilers and Speculations! )
