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. ♥ ♥ ♥

Congrats on the 15k! And also so so soooo much yes to Adam Ant!Harry.

I claimed and couldn't be more pleased because I got the one I wanted from the day I saw the prompt. So stoked.

So many prompts have gone! It's very exciting. I've been plotting mine in my head all week before claiming started, I couldn't stop myself :DD

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

That's awesome news!!!

And 15k on your Harrybang is great! Congratulations!!! You can definitely be proud of yourself! I'm really looking forward to reading this fic of yours! :D

No more fests for me though! :P

[birdsofshore]

Aw, it's been a busy year for you so far. Are you having a break from fests, or just can't fit another in with your other commitments?

I think my Bang is going to be the biggest anti-climax ever after all the fuss I've made about it. I feel ashamed of my attention-seeking behaviour, but omg the support has really helped me get going with it. Thank you, dear.

[gracerene]

Having prompts claimed is always so exciting! There were so many awesome ones this year, I can't believe I have to wait until September to read all the fantastic fic! :D

Congrats on your HBB word count though! That's a good chuck I think :)

[birdsofshore]

There were some hilarious prompts. I'm staking out the claiming post hoping to see a few more go this evening. There are some I'd just love to read.

Thanks; I know it's not the biggest word count, but it's a respectable start. I feel a lot more settled when I think about it now.

That's some major flappage!! And LOL @ your LJ cut text.

[birdsofshore]

That's some major flappage

arf, that sounds dirty :DD

There's not going to be enough flaps in the world for when Adam Ant!Harry posts. I'm not even kidding about how excited I am.

[facecat.livejournal.com]

Adam Ant!Harry. Oh my giddy aunt indeed. Looking forward to seeing this one for sure.

Always thought Adam was quite the looker back in the day.

[birdsofshore]

He was my first crush. I am so thrilled there's going to be art of this. SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER ARE TOO FAR AWAY DD:

[firethesound]

Eeee Career Fair is going to be so awesome this year!! AdamAnt!Harry is going to be so fantastic. :D

AND I got my first choice when I signed up, AND AND AND SOMEONE CLAIMED MY SWORDSPOINT PROMPT!!!! :D :D :D

[birdsofshore]

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.

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

Congrats on all the words! :D Congrats on Harry Ant art (YES! YES!) and on getting your chosen prompt! ♥♥ I got mine too xD I almost left class early because I was so bleeding terrified someone else would GET THERE BEFORE ME OMG! But no. No one did. Hee! ♥

Oh, I skipped a letter. I blame the excitement. And probably the fact that I was asleep ten minutes ago...

[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.

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

YAYYYYYY CONGRATS ON THE 15K!

Also 2 Career claims, whooooot!! I'm so glad you chose a prompt for yourself too, bebe. :)

Am still waiting for my Cock Critique prompt to be claimed *crosses all fingers and toes*

[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

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

Hogwarts caretaker!Draco sounds amazing- I am looking forwards to that! You always do such perfect prompts.

And 15K words is nothing to sneeze at, do you have a minimum count you need to reach? Hearing that I can look forward to a long story from you is a very fine thing though :D

I am wibbling on the edge about career fair... I kind of want to, and realistically I probably know that i'll cave and claim a prompt, but at the same time I've already signed up for so many things- I might just have to force myself to draw shorted comics or something- sigh

[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.
Maximum Rating: NC-17

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

[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

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Am pretty stoked for Adam Ant!Harry art!

[birdsofshore]

I KNOW. WHY IS SEPTEMBER SO FAR AWAY?

[amorette.livejournal.com]

Yay for fandom joy :D It makes me happy as well! ♥

Oh, you claimed! I never finish fics anymore, so I won't claim this year. But it does sound like so much fun. I'm avoiding the prompt post so I won't even be tempted.

Oh God, don't remind me about the Bang. I am the worst participant, probably. I'm envious of your 15k!!

[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.

[astardanced77.livejournal.com]

I decided when I finished my smoochfest fic that I wouldn't sign up for any more fests this year. But I was seduced by the many awesome prompts, so I ended up stalking that claiming post right along with you!

HP Silencio is also calling to me - may have to give up sleeping for a while!

[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.

[huldrejenta.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on reaching 15K! Harrybang is one event I'm really looking forward to, I'm sure there'll be lots of amazing stories :)

Good for you that you got the prompt you wanted for the career fair! So many wonderful prompts - this is going to be one great event:)

I've claimed a prompt for this as well, and I'm super nervous about it since I've never written H/D, or anyone from that generation, actually. It's been Marauder generation all the way for me, but it's exciting to try H/D. And nerve-wracking ;)

[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.

[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!

[birdsofshore]

I feel the same. I'd like to write 3 or 4.

[nenne.livejournal.com]

There aren't that many prompts claimed yet. Lucky you! :)
