I am having a FANDOM EXCITEMENT OVERLOAD MOMENT

[birdsofshore]

I just got the hd_smoochfest prompt I wanted! ♥

I did not get chucked out of slythindor100's drabble contest yet! ♥ (I reckon it was a close thing this week). And there's a new prompt in an hour and a half.

hd_remix and bottom_draco started posting today! ♥

By the way, what is the etiquette for commenting on adaptation fics / art when you are not familiar with the original? I can't really say "This looks great and I can see you've put a lot of work into it. However, I don't know any of the characters or get any of the jokes. Bye!"

Conversely, if I only comment on the ones I know about, that will be about 4 fics. O.o

I am the H/D monthly reccer at crack_broom this month! ♥ Erm. I had really better think about what I am going to rec.

Finally, you have to see this monster Lego model Hogwarts a fan made. ♥ The detail and scale of it is stunning! My boys want to know why I don't do cool stuff like that. We have had such fun looking at all the different rooms and discussing the scenes. There's going to be videos and timelapse of the set up in a week or two, so I am looking forward to getting over-excited all over again. Hooray for you too, Alice Finch, you crazy superb Lego lady!

I havent been familiar with any of the source material so far so I've just treated the stuff as normal standard fic. "I like because" without worrying too much. People just want to know they did a good job making something that people like... so thats the part that matters. (At least thats what Im going with.)

I wish there were kudos here too. Because Yes, yes to what you said. :)

You're right! I just felt a little intimidated I suppose, if I didn't know the source. I don't have that much time to read, so I think "what if I get 5k in and it still doesn't make any sense?"

Having said that, each work is going to be a big hit with those who are fans of the source, I would think. Maybe that makes up for it.
