Post of yay and wheeeeeee!

Two of my prompts have been claimed at hd_fan_fair! I am thrilled! One of them is Hogwarts caretaker!Draco and librarian!Harry, which it seems to me is ripe for comedy and smut, but could of course be steered in any number of fabulous directions. I'm just excited to read whatever happens with this one. Thank you very much if the person who claimed it is reading this.

And the other one, OH JOY OF JOYS, is my Adam Ant!Harry / manager!Draco ART PROMPT; oh my giddy aunt, am I chuffed about THIS? In the SERIOUSLY EXCITED, can't wait, is-career-fair-posting-yet sort of way.

*checks posting dates*

*drops dead*

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER!! WHAT IS THIS OUTRAGEOUS LENGTH OF TIME? No-one could survive waiting for Adam Ant!Harry that long. NO-ONE. I'm going to have to hack into the mods' computers and steal the fucker. Don't worry, I'll share after I have had my way with him.

And, speaking of other things that have made me happy this week, I made it past 15k on my harrybang. I know 15k is not terribly impressive, but I feel it's not bad for a start, and the story is hopefully starting to shape up. Soooooooo... I thought it wouldn't be too bad if I took one little prompt at hd_fan_fair for myself. Just a teeny little one. I can knock it up in a weekend, I'm sure. No problem ;-)

I'm slightly in love with my prompt. I got the one I was staking out the claiming post half the day for hoping to get, so I'm really chuffed about that.

Anyway, who's claiming for career fair? Who's tempted but resisting? Did any of your prompts get claimed, yet? I'm so full of fandom joy today. ♥ ♥ ♥

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SWORDSPOINT IT, BUT I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!

Adam Ant!Harry - OMG. I can't believe my luck. I must have been so good in a past life.

[birdsofshore]

HOORAH for you getting your prompt! Tell me, do I *like* your prompt? Hmm?

The excitement is understandable. Fests and prompts and claiming and Adam Ant!Harry art are probably THE most exciting things in the whole world.

[birdsofshore]

Lordy, I want your prompt to be claimed. How has it not been claimed? I fancied it myself, but felt a bit intimidated by the excellence of the prompt, tbh. I wasn't sure I could fully do it justice :DD

[birdsofshore]

I can totally help you about career fair. I'LL PICK THE PROMPT FOR YOU! That will save you tons of time, and you'll have no trouble drawing whatever you like. Here is THE PERFECT dustmouth prompt:

http://hd-fan-fair.livejournal.com/74208.html?thread=3502048#t3502048

Era: EWE
Additions: If Draco had a little hat and a uniform that would be quite nice...
Scenario: Harry works in a desk job at the Ministry. Draco is the Safety Officer for the Ministry. The weird thing is, though, that whenever Draco comes to Harry's department to check their safety charms and so on are all working properly, fires keep breaking out.

This rather ridiculous prompt was inspired by the very ridiculous song High Voltage by Electric Six:
“Don't you want to know how we keep starting fires?
It's my desire, It's my desire, It's my desire
Danger! Danger! High Voltage!
When we touch, When we kiss.”

I'd like it if the fires just break out spontaneously whenever Harry and Draco are near one another, as suggested by the song.

I don't know what crazy loon thought of it, but it's got your name all over it ;-)

[birdsofshore]

I KNOW. WHY IS SEPTEMBER SO FAR AWAY?

[birdsofshore]

I did! I'm sorry you won't be writing, but I understand avoiding the post if you've decided not to.

I'm really pleased about Bang. Sorry it's not going well for you.

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

Omg, please please say you'll claim a prompt. :3

Don't worry about drawing a huge comic! Even one panel will be wonderful coming from you! <3

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

NO NO DUST, PICK MY PROMPT INSTEAD! :P

[birdsofshore]

I agree! Just one panel of each of my prompts would be completely fabulous!

:DDD

[birdsofshore]

Oh, did you claim something? The prompts are always so good at career fair <3

I'm trying not to look at Silencio. Hah! See how long that lasts.

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

No! My prompts! Panels of my prompts will be awesomeeeeee. ;)))

[birdsofshore]

Thank you very much!

Yay for claiming a prompt - H/D are just a dream to write, I bet you'll be fine. Exciting and nerve-racking are some of the best things about fandom, LOL.

[birdsofshore]

OK OK! Two of hers and three two of mine. That's fair.

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

LOOOOOL, poor Dust! :P

[birdsofshore]

What do you mean? We've saved her so much time and effort!

XD

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

You're right!

I SHOULD PIMP MY PROMPTS.

Here, pick this one. Come.

Prompt #78
Era: Post-Hogwarts (EWE/AU/etc)
Additions: frottage on furniture | unusual furniture | Harry could make magical furniture or not
Scenario: Harry is a carpenter and/or furniture maker. Draco is a furniture tester who gives feedback on comfort level, material and aesthetics. Draco makes Harry's life difficult. Harry likes difficult things.

[birdsofshore]

NO, LOOK, DEAR dustmouth, I WAS WRONG. I thought that was the perfect prompt for you, but THIS is actually the perfect prompt. It's got funny costumes and everything. IMAGINE THE LUDICROUS OUTFITS YOU CAN MAKE DRACO WEAR.

Era: Epilogue Compliant
Additions: H/D divorced or separated, please. Lots of lovely costumes, uniforms, boots and hats please. How about cross-dressing, too?
Scenario: Draco is employed by the Wizarding History Museum to add a bit of colour as visitors wander around the exhibitions. He has to dress up in costume and roleplay as various historical figures. Too bad for him that it's Potter's kids' favourite place to visit every bloody weekend.
Maximum Rating: NC-17
Submitted by: birdsofshore

[birdsofshore]

If you don't want kids in it, just do it as Harry's favourite place to visit, or something. We all know why he keeps going back there REALLY.

OK, I will leave you alone now before this gets creepy. Probably ;-)

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

No no, see, this is complete crack and you don't need to draw any pesky outfits if you don't want to! And it doesn't have to even be porny!

Prompt #144
Era: Post-Hogwarts (EWE/AU/etc)
Additions: "Draw me like one of your French girls." "I don't speak Mugglese, Potter."
Scenario: Draco draws erotic art for a living. Harry is his next muse.

[astardanced77.livejournal.com]

I did! I waffled around a bit, drooling over the many fabulous prompts,but ended up going with my original choice. I'd like to say I plan to finish this one early and go back for another, but that never happens! :-)

Silencio has a 5k limit - that's my excuse at least!

[khalulu]

Swordspoint is a fabulous book by Ellen Kushner about a professional duellist and his bored aristocratic messed-up bad boy lover, and I'm very glad someone claimed that prompt because i want to read the fic that results!

[khalulu]

congrats on 15 K!

Career Fair was chock full of lovely prompts! I have one. I am tempted by others but at my speed getting one in by the end of the fest is all I ever seem to manage!

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

Such hard questions you ask me -- but I'm not a mind-reader, I swear xD Also, why aren't you wearing the tin foil hat? You should be wearing the tin foil hat, you reckless thing!

[birdsofshore]

But I want to knoooooow *whine*

I simultaneously want to know EVERYTHING that everyone is doing, and have everything be a total fabulous surprise.

[birdsofshore]

God, that one is brilliant.

OK, here's my last offer. dustmouth, you draw Huey's prompt. Huey, YOU draw MINE :DDDD
