A post with actual HP substance!

[blamebrampton]

Before getting to the meat of the matter, a moment to say [Poll #1427787]I've used check boxes because I can be taught ;-) BTW, please mentally add in the other exclamation point, I had exceeded my daily quota ...

Comments

Hee! :D Brilliant idea. Have fun.

*pisses off to go pack*

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

We will! You too!

[shu-shu-sleeps.livejournal.com]

I don't write fan fic as you know, so the movie/book club sounds like fun - though the tag team fic could be fun to read....

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

You know, it's quite possible we could throw together an online club and do read-throughs from Book One regardless, though it might be better a little later in the year if it would just be for our local set since we're all a bit busy at the moment!

[lotus-lizzy.livejournal.com]

Oh please have something for us to do! I want to fight the oppressive airplane ticket prices and crushing economic woes that led to my lack of SF communing with cracky crazy porny hp fics.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

We'll do something! It will be FUN!

[tomatoe18.livejournal.com]

I plan to write real person slash of the HP actors. I don't care if it's wrong. I just want to do it.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I knew the Feltonlove would consume you one day ;-)

[empress-jae.livejournal.com]

Everyone in that group, raise one hand. Right. Piss of the lot of you, you have enough fun planned for the next week.

*applauds wildly* amen! :D

i clicked a bunch, but i'm always down for a crack drabble or two. my inhibitions are lowered and i don't seem to care as much of my writing skills when crack is involved. LET'S DO IT.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I think that one may be a safe bet for happening regardless; we can have multiple fun plans!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I'm in on anything. Let me know if you want a hand. ;)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

We'll want you to HAVE FUN! (In a few days, kick back till then ;-)

[raitala.livejournal.com]

Yay, that does sound fun! I checked all the boxes in my enthusiasm, but I don't really have another idea for the last one, except I don't know how bingo cards would work in relation to synchronous film-watching, but I do know how film-watching drinking games work. Drink every time someone says 'Potter' or 'Malfoy' :D

I'd even like to try and contribute to a tag-team fic or drabbles. Let us indeed do something FUN°!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

You write beautifully! And drawbles are good, too. Really, anything involving gay wizards will be good ;-)

I was going to say drinking game, but then realised that you would laugh at the idea of me sipping delicately at a Pimms and lemonade and switching to pomegranate juice after the first glass.

[autumn-veela.livejournal.com]

Um... is it okay if I ticked all of them??

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Yes, it shows enthusiasm if not decisiveness.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I feel that Joss Whedon has probably started fangirling RTD

How did I miss that line???? I was distracted by the shiny poll.

You win the Thought of the Day Award.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

It seemed logical ;-)

[libby-drew.livejournal.com]

I checked the first one just because it said 'tag-team'.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

And now I will forever have a tiny part of my brain that associates you with dress-up wrestling ... ;-)

[inamac.livejournal.com]

oooh, drabblz, I can do drabblez.

Surely we will disect the movie anyway? (Am contemplating taking along a bingo card for my planned viewing).

What was that comm name again?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I think it is a pretty safe bet we will all be disecting the film, just whether or not we also do it somewhere special is the question ...

We'll be pimping the comm name in about 36 hours after Jae and I sort a few more basic things and rope in a few extra mods in helpful time zones. If only all my evil plans came together this easily!

[maevemist.livejournal.com]

Would it be OK if I friend you just to follow the pimping of your plans?

Sometimes it is a real pain in the arse living on the wrong side of the world when all the fun stuff seems to happen on the other end.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

And tell me about it, I'm in Sydney, which is ever so far from Lords! Er, Azkatraz. (Oh let's be honest: in the best of all worlds I would be following the Tour and then helicoptering over for the decisive Test.)

[rickey-a.livejournal.com]

I like the idea of virtual con

everyone exchagess the phone/email/etc. of a friend who's going to the con and send cute message like your there ;P

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I am not sure that hordes of messages saying :-P would give quite the impression we were hoping for ...

[cassie-black12.livejournal.com]

I love you so much for thinking of this. I've been steadily sinking into an Azkatraz induced funk for the last few days!I ticked quite a few boxes, mainly due to my indecisiveness, and the fact that I'm game for just about anything.

Conventions *shrugs* Who needs 'em
not me, honest!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

We will have an ace one, too, all with our home comforts and kitties and people about us! And your icon is very cool, I thank you for bestowing it!

[alienor77310.livejournal.com]

Sounds, more or less, like the usual program for hpcon_envy

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Why does no one tell me these things exist ... Except we're not envious! We're making good use of our time, honest!

[tuawahine.livejournal.com]

What a great idea! I already feel less jealous of all those going.
One question: What's a tag-team game? Is that like a round robin?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

A bit, save that in a round robin it's your turn at one point. In a tag-team game it's something that you can compete to pick up at points along the way (we are talking about having it moderated so that we will be sure of posting entries in different time zones through the course of the game, making it a bit easier)

Alternately...

[wemyss.livejournal.com]

... We can be thankful we're not listening to poons and oiks natter about redbrick academic fads and/or evangelical Prot tosh whilst Americanising canon, and simply watch the Ashes.

Re: Alternately...

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

The Ashes are killing me, as I am yet to stay awake through to the tea break. And the bloody Australians keep rallying.

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! It's SouthMoot, but for fandom! I'm in on whatever you decide to do (although I particularly like the idea of tag-team Fic of Dhoom and crack-drabblage).

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I think those two will definitely be played, among others!

[vaysh11.livejournal.com]

I'm all for the tag-team H/D epic. ♥

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I am not surprised ;-)

[faynia.livejournal.com]

!


Yus. :D

I voted crack-a-lakking good fanfic ala round robin. Also bingo cards. Because only losers say no to bingo.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Though Rai pointed out that the filling-in will have to be the prize since we are doomed by time zones (she believes I need sleep. AHAHAHAHAHA!)

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to some good happy HP times. I just managed to get myself roped into Torchwood fandom, which was a happy place to be until Thursday. Even Deathly Hallows had nothin' on this.

Virtual seminars on fanfic writing would be awesome. I have questions about how to plot things out, and not get stuck halfway through. And not suck.

So, yay!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

My friends who love Buffy and Firefly have a saying, that a character has been 'Jossed' when they are suddenly and unexpectedly slaughtered. After devastating main casts and wiping out most of the earth's population, I think it is safe to say that Russelled would be more appropriate.

If the seminars do not get up this time, I am writing a big thing on that exact topic at the moment, which may help. And I will one day get my arse into gear enough to have editing juju left to me at home so I can finish your story (I suck!)

[naadi.livejournal.com]

Hee - yay! :D I'd love to play along with something. I like the idea of the tag-team fic. I can write, but I was also thinking maybe Rai and I could illustrate with silly stick figures. ;-) lol

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

You chaps are such twins ;-)

[mific.livejournal.com]

Keen on anything interactive and not too time-consuming because I am so (tries not to descend into abject panic) behind on various deadlines. My lists have lists. But these ideas sound like fun.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

It will all be easy and low key, and if you just want to pop by and make rude comments, that will also be fine!

[shadowclub.livejournal.com]

OMG, please have some sort of fest:) It will make my life better!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

It is happening! news will be up by the end of the weekend!

[bonfoi.livejournal.com]

sansa1970 said to pop over here and see what hoopla/mischief was...I like it here!

I think someone's thrown out the "Worst first line Ever" idea and that's the one I'm hoping I can do.

Take care, have fun and laugh a lot, eh!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I think Sansa is doing Worst Opening Line, but she is holding off till the Azkatrazers are back. In the meantime, we will have crack drabbleage, but feel free to make them full of worst lines!
