I've got a first draft done for my hd_erised fic. \o/ Now it's gone out to beta *nail bites*.

But, more importantly, hd_fanart fest has begun!

If you haven't seen the opening piece of art, please go and look, because it's swoony-good. I've been stalking this Mystery Artist for a loooong time in hopes that she would one day draw H/D, and now she has, I hope we're all agreed that we must keep her, yes? *seals all exits*

The Holly and the Hawthorn (H/D, R) is mesmerisingly lovely. I just opened the page again to get the link, and got trapped in its evil gorgeousness all over again. I must have lost hours of my life to this piece. *happy sigh*

Please give the artist much love! Perhaps she'll stay with us forever? ♥

yay erised!!! :D

And OMG HD Fanart fest has been so amazing!

LOL, your comments made me think of this comic I always see on my tumblr dash! :D

[birdsofshore]

That comic is TOO PERFECT. I love it.

A whole month of fanart! \o/

That art is in-fucking-credible! I swooned HARD. <3

[birdsofshore]

I'm still swooning. I first saw it on my phone when I was out shopping and I nearly walked into something XD

Oh that art is DIVINE! So, so beautiful ♥ And you know who it is!! I'll have to stalk whoever it is after reveals.

Yay for erised :D

[birdsofshore]

OMG, you won't regret stalking her.


*whisper* If you were really desperate to know, my art rec posts usually feature her pretty regularly ;)

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Thanks! *goes off to do just that*

[birdsofshore]

You shouldn't have to look far :D Just peek at anyone who's name you don't recognise.

This totally doesn't count as telling you, right? :DD

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah I think I found her. We really need her to stay in HP-fandom, though!

And no, it totally doesn't count as telling :D

[birdsofshore]

:D I never said a word. I can't help it if people want to go and read my old posts and then put two and two together...

We really need her to stay in HP-fandom, though

She's such a darling. Even if we only get this one H/D drawing, it's more than I ever dreamt of <3

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm just being greedy... But the one we got is stunning <3

Yay for your first draft! That's so great - I'm always so impressed that you get so much done in the time you have. Plus I'm eager to read another Birds-fic, of course. I love that you have enjoyed writing it so much. :)

I think I had a very similar reaction to that bit of art. I do hope the MA does more in this fandom!

[birdsofshore]

I think time has meant it's a bit rushed in places. I didn't stop to think and let it all mull over nicely and draw connections and so on together, so it's not exactly accomplished stuff. But the story wanted to pour out, and it did, and I'm pleased and surprised with where it ended up.

I hope yours is going well?

[omi-ohmy.livejournal.com]

A story pouring out is such a wonderful thing, ime. I'm glad you've had that experience with this fic. :)

Mine is going well, so far I'm really loving it. I have no idea whether it holds together or not, though. Time will tell, I guess.

[birdsofshore]

Oh, good, I'm glad you're having fun writing it. Erised is going to be spectacular!

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Yaaaay on erised! Congrats on having it off to the beta!

That piece is absolutely gorgeous and and I'd forgotten to watch hd_fanart. Now remedied! And thank goodness, there's some lovely stuff going on there.

[birdsofshore]

Somehow I read that as having it off with the beta. :DDD

So glad you liked the art. Well, how could you not?

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

YAy for your first draft!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D This is always such a great feeling to finish something! :D

Oh yes, this drawing was absolutely gorgeous, beautiful. And I really, really hope she'll stay with us!!! :D

[birdsofshore]

I'm really happy I'm sort of on track. When I signed up I presumed due to other commitments that I would need an extension, but it looks OK so far \o/

Wow, it would be amazing if this artist wanted to hang around in our fandom. We just need to shower her with adoration, or, failing that, there's always Imperio? ;)
