A post with actual HP substance!

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 ...

As someone who has just started reading book one, I think the idea of a book club is a great idea, because like Shu_Shu_Sleeps I don't write fanfic and it is unlikely that I will take it up anytime soon.

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!

But ... you can't have a crack drabble contest without me!!! *pouts furiously*

OH HAI WASH!!! Or rather, OH BAI WASH!!! I am familiar with that one. It's all a bit conflicting, because it was an excellent political thriller, really tightly scripted and acted, it just wasn't really Torchwood.

ANYWAY, trying to avoid getting my fandoms muddled (I am now up to three separate LJs and associated emails trying to keep this stuff straight), either seminars or your writing thing would be awesome, because I have been scratching away at a few things, and I suspect I have mostly got myself in a muddle. Teach me things, oh wise one!

I am beginning to fear that the problem is that there is so much wrong with the story that it's sapping your will to live. ;o)

No, quite the reverse! Bad stories that require enormous amounts of broad effort are actually very easy to edit. Good ones that require close concentration and a fine touch are FAR harder, and so I pop them down my list a little and wait for the days when my brain is working. (which used to be more frequent!)

As a matter of fact, I have planned a calm couple of days/week(?) of finally starting the career fair fic. So I'm not going to vote or make suggestions, but I still might participate in whatever you come up with because I'm the sort of person who'd take any type of substitute activity if it aided my procrastination. i have no idea why my mind wants to write that word to rhyme with castration, nope

[grey-hunter.livejournal.com]

This is completely your fault because I just said I won't go suggesting anything but how about a stick-figure/margin-doodle/mouse-drawing "fanart" contest/fest? And by fanart, I mean illustrations for already existing fanfics.

Somehow, despite being mere minutes on public transit from San Francisco, I'm not going to the con...

So! Crack drabbles! Chatter! Zaniness!

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

Flattery will get you everywhere. :oD

[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!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

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

[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!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Oh hush, you. You can submit some at the end when you get home, but only if you spill good goss!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

You sensible and organised woman! Come along and waste a spot of time with us, it'll be fun!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

YIPPEE! And hurrah for being a stop-out!

[emansil-08.livejournal.com]

I was greedy. I picked more than one, cause umm really I have issues with my decision making skills.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, because I am SO in a position to judge you for that ...

[under-an-oak.livejournal.com]

Oh, you sound like you're going to have so much fun! redundant comment is redundant comment, hah! :D Just got back from a 3-week long fangirling trip over my utmost favourite Korean boyband and now I'm eyeing this post and wishing I could have a HP-fangirling trip. Ah...I hope you're having loads of fun!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

We're having fun by not going anywhere! I'll promote the comm here as soon as it's up, feel free to stop by!

[naadi.livejournal.com]

LOL! That sounds like fun!! :DD Mouse-drawing - hahaha - my mouse drawing attempts are really awful - barely worthy of stick-figuredom.

[grey-hunter.livejournal.com]

I'd be sensible and organised if I were in the habit of actually putting those plans into reality. Alas. *cough*

But of course, I'll play with you. (Because I'm not at all sensible.)

[grey-hunter.livejournal.com]

Mine are, too. That's what makes it such fun!

[bryoneybrynn.livejournal.com]

Tag team writing. Because that's what I want to read when I come home! ;)
