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!

That Hogwarts model is so impressive. And it's not even just an empty shell, it's every.single.little.detail! My daughter thinks we should build one just like it.

I'm freaking out a little about smoochfest. I got the prompt I wanted, and I have a great idea for a fic, but it's my first big fest and I'm nervous. But all the prompts look so great, I can't wait to see what people are going to do with them!

If it reassures you at all, I'm freaking out about smoochfest too - I've written quite a few fest fics over the past year, but until the story is flowing it does feel nerve-wracking! You sound like you are ready to go, I'm sure your story will be great and I look forward to reading it in June!

Thank you.
I've decided to stay up and write the first scene tonight, and hopefully when I can see that it's on the right track, I'll stop worrying so much and just enjoy writing.

The details are incredible and so fun! Can you imagine what it must have cost to build the whole thing?

Smoochfest is going to be wonderful! It's a great and friendly fest and your fic will be great. Just ask someone for help if you need it, people are so generous with their time in this community.

It must have cost a small fortune! Lego isn't a cheap toy. And it must have taken ages to build.

I'll probably panic later and ask someone to read my first draft, just to see if it's entirely hopeless.
