I was reccer for Harry/Snape on Crack Broom for the November.

I went with the theme of stories I would have said from the summary that I wouldn't have liked. Then, of course, I really enjoyed them once I read them.

The stories I rec'd were:

Exegesis by Femme - Review here

Getting Familiar by Gingertart50 - Review here

Learning the Landscape by Beth H - Review here

Between the Lines by Dementordelta - Review here

When Fate Steps In by The Minx 17 - Review here


In the end, I just ran out of time. Which is kind of said since if I'd had just a little more, I would have totally rec'd:

What I did on my summer Vacation by littleblackbow.

This is a cross between a vid and a drawing, and it is all together amazing storytelling. I was literally slack-jawed with awe the first time I saw it. And I keep going back to watch it. It makes you think and it makes you feel. I adored all of the characters, but especially Alstromeria (if you don't know what it means, look it up. It's perfect).

If by some chance you missed this on the Snarry Art Games, go and watch it right now!

LittleBlackBow also did a sequel as a Christmas present for her flist. It's just as amazing. It will break your heart and make you cry, but in the best possible way. And with a happy ending.

Wow. Just wow.

I'm just hugging myself all over. Feelin' the love, y'know?

Because some incredibly kind, generous soul has anonymously upgraded my account at IJ to PERMANENTLY INSANE!!!!

I never thought I'd have a permament account but I really, really love the idea! I just went and checked out the features and it means I have SO many oodles of userpics available, that I'll never run out again. Among other fun things.

Thank you, thank you, to whomever did this lovely thing for me.

I am truly thrilled and touched.

I now realize just how crazy we HP folks seem to Mundanes.

Just the other day, Pattinson realized, "there were some girls who had scratched ... the side of their necks so [they were] freshly bleeding when they came up to get a signature. 'They were like, 'We did this for you.' I didn't know what to say. 'Um, thanks guys?'"

R. was out in the hinterlands yesterday visiting friends who have an organic farm. And he brought back all kinds of strange things, many of which I either (a) have not seen in years or (2) don't recognize at all.

I'm thinking soup.
