There is a fiendish plot to deprive me of dirtywrong cross gen

[birdsofshore]

I can't get hp_crossgenfest to show up on my friends feed! When i go to their journal I can see the entries, but IT'S NOT FAIR. I even tried leaving the comm and then joining again. I might try that again. And again. So, crossgen mods, ignore any notifications you get saying 'birds has lost the plot'. I JUST WANT CROSSGEN AND I WANT IT NOOOOOOW *wail*

ALL FIXED NOW SO SORRY ABOUT THAT

I feel crappy with a chesty cold, a sore throat and I just want to take a wire brush to the inside of my sinuses and clear the fuckers out. The universe is annoying me. And it's fireworks night so my kids won't get to sleep til god knows when.

I'm aware I made some new friends this week on LJ... I'M NOT NORMALLY WHINY, OK? Only when I am deprived of slashy goodness. *sweet smile* Does anyone happen to have any delightfully smutty cross gen recs, please? (m/m and no incest would be my preferred flavour).

Thank you so much! In return, here's a rec for the sweetest thing you'll see all day: Gentlemen Out for a Stroll at hd_fanart fest. Look at Harry, all handsome in his Auror robes, but then LOOK at Draco. He is SO BAD, with his smirky smile, and his big white feather, and his tailored trousers. The fangirls witches all gathered around to gawp are making me DIE. I love this.

In fact, do you know what, the universe isn't even annoying me any more. But, I'd still love some crossgen...  ♥

E.T.A: Oh, LOL, a new entry posted at hp_crossgenfest and I can totally see it on my feed. How embarrassing. It's art and it's amazing! Look at Teddy's hair! (Charlie/Teddy, PG-13)

Are you sure you're watching, not just joining? ETA: Actually I looked at your profile and it does show you as watching. :(

You can also track the comm. I mean that won't help with the feed but you'll get that handy reminder when something new posts. :D

[birdsofshore]

I checked I was watching it, but I still couldn't see it! (this was last night). Er, now I moaned about it, it's magically showing on my feed after all. The mods, er, probably changed a setting or something. Yeah, that's probably it. *shamefaced*

Technology and me do not get on!

Oh, and look at your icon! More Teddy ♥

Gah! This happened to me once with a com and it drove me crazy! The problem was that even though I had "joined the community", I was not "watching the community".... So.... o.O There is apparently a difference. Check that? Good luck!

I'm sorry you have a cold!! *huggles you*

[birdsofshore]

Thank you, dear! But don't get too close to my germs...

Er, now I bothered everyone about it, it's showing on my feed. I have no idea why. Maybe I hallucinated the whole thing last night, sorry.

[amorette.livejournal.com]

Ha! That's great though, at least it's solved!

Andddd I immediately recc'd for TEDDY O.O I love his blue hair, GAWD. He's so pretty.

[birdsofshore]

Really striking art! The textures fascinate me, especially the hair.

[gracerene]

Oh no!! That happened to me with hp-silencio! I ended up missing a ton of entries, because I didn't realize they just weren't showing up on my feed. :(
BUT, the posts are going up the same time everyday, if that helps you with checking)

LOL, but other than that, this post makes me v. happy. because YAY CROSS GEN! :D

Recs...I GOT SOME. I just picked a few, which was hard, but I restrained myself.

Harry/Sirius: These Walls Were Built to Fall by xylodemon might be my favorite. It's 15 yo Hary though, and I know you tend to prefer a smidge older.

Severus/Draco: Thursday Nights by gypsyflame, totally turned me onto this pairing (and I normally don't find Snape all that sexually appealing. But D/s! Which I love, and I know you like. :)

Charlie/Sirius: One Night in London by entrenou88, unusual pairing, but I was totally sold!

and, you know, all of my Cross gen recs are here, if you want more... ;)

[birdsofshore]

Oh, thanks so much, Grace. I don't know what was wrong yesterday, but it's showing up fine now, hooray!

I'm going to peruse your crossgen tag right now and check out these fics, thank you \o/

[http://users.livejournal.com/_hannelore/]

Fireworks... oh, Guy Fawkes! Sorry to hear about your chest cold, hope you feel better soon! <3

[birdsofshore]

Yes, we're all celebrating the attempt to blow up parliament. (would make more sense to celebrate if it had actually WORKED ;))

We live very close to a massive display, so it will be noisy in our house in a couple of hours. Mr Birds is going to take our 3 kids out to watch it, and I am going to stay here and sulk about my cold and read crossgen

[http://users.livejournal.com/_hannelore/]

LOL! Maybe you need a whiskey-and-lemon too, I hear those are great for colds. ;)

[firethesound]

Filthy crossgen fics and art cure all ills. (Or at least they make being sick a slightly more bearable.) ::nod::

Feel better, you. <3

[birdsofshore]

You know what might help? stick figure cocks and balls A hot lemon drink. And stick figure cocks and balls

[firethesound]

Oh my god. XD

[firethesound]

Okay. You asked for it. ::flail::

[birdsofshore]

I wish I'd asked SOONER. I had no idea you were sitting on such comic riches \o/

[blithelybonny.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you're not feeling well! <3 <3 Feel better soon.

[birdsofshore]

Ah, I'll live. Thank you. I'm a bit of a spoilt brat when I'm feeling ill.

[blithelybonny.livejournal.com]

If dudes are allowed to have man!colds, then ladies are allowed to be a bit spoiled. <3

[capitu]

Haha. I love that your day got a lot better since you posted this. <3333

[birdsofshore]

SO MUCH BETTER ♥

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Argghhh sorry to hear you've had a shitty day!!! :(((
I hope your cold will get better soon!!! :(

Oh yeah, these two pieces of art are gorgeous!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Re:

[birdsofshore]

This is the 3rd day and I'm fed up of it. I sound like I've smoked 40 cigarettes and deep throated half of Slytherin.

Re:

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Lololol!!! Only half???

Re:

[birdsofshore]

I'm saving the other half for when I feel better ;)

[writcraft]

Get better soon, Birds! Those colds are the worst :(

But BLIMEY that Teddy/Charlie art was really quite something *drools and immediately writes Teddy!smut*

:D

[birdsofshore]

Yay for Teddy smut!

I'm getting better. Slowly. *blows nose*

[awickedmemory.livejournal.com]

Sorry you're ill. :( I hope you feel better soon!

SL;AKFSAD THE ART WAS SO GOOD I WAS SO EXCITED OMFG.

I'm not a crossgen-shipper, so I don't have any recs for you, but have a picture instead:

[birdsofshore]

OMG OMG! This is amazing! Oh, you're too good to me, you sent Harry and Draco to look after me! And hold my tea while I suck it up with my ridiculous beak! \o/

Oh, this is gorgeous and perfect! You're such a darling. Look at Harry patting me, and LOL, I can't quite tell whether Draco's expression means "My heart is hurting because our friend Birds is ill," or whether he's thinking, "Merlin, how much longer do we have to sit here with this snotty, snuffling BIRD fgs? I could CATCH SOMETHING from this."

I really have used all of those tissues. I am rubbish at being ill. But just looking at this makes me feel so much better! ♥ ♥ ♥

THANK YOU!

[awickedmemory.livejournal.com]

I LOVE the curlew's ridiculous beak, so yes. :D :D

The Draco I roleplay (and by extension, the Draco in my head when I draw) has a nasty habit of feeling like ten contradicting emotions at once, so the answer to his expression is probably "Any and all of the above." :P

*hugs* <3

Sorry you're feeling crappy but it's a good thing you figured out why the

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<lj=hp_crossgenfest>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Sorry you're feeling crappy but it's a good thing you figured out why the <lj=hp_crossgenfest> wasn't showing up so now you'll have all the amazing art popping up to entertain you.

[birdsofshore]

Yay, I certainly do feel fabulous art is a cure for the common cold :D

[randomandom.livejournal.com]

you might be okay with lj notifications for comms now, but they're driving ME nuts now :( I can't figure out why I can't get notifications by email for serpentinelion. Oh well. I'll just have to make do with the friends feed notification. which I don't even know how it works. I think it's automatic as soon as I watch a comm. And what is an lj alert? Don't mind me. These are all rhetorical questions. I'm really glad you're getting the crossgenfest feed now :D
