Yay! So much YAY!

[blamebrampton]

I know that a lot of you out there have kids who are interested in all things HP, which is what makes the new comm set up by leochi  one of the coolest things around at the moment. yay_potterkids  is a safe place for fic and art that features kid-friendly themes set in the HP universe. So far there is some lovely art and I know that several writers have fics and drabbles planned (including me, eventually!)

On the topic of comms, hp10k_showcase began posting today with a fantastic story by snegurochka_lee . It's beautifully written, if tremendously sad. Catch it here: The Path of Least Resistance. The remaining stories are all very very fine, too, and written in support of many good causes (which you can ignore and just go straight to the fic, but the universe may be a finer place if you do not.)

Next Yays, HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY to gameazel ! Sorry it's late, I have been writing and running around  like a fiend this week. I hope you had a great one.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY for today to the lovely micolerose. I am sending you every wish for good health and good luck for this year, with added father discovers housecleaning and niece or nephew is perfect child of great sleeping and behaving with no regurgitation issues luck. You are such a cool chick, but I am not following you into the darkside of new fandoms. Oh no. I am too far behind in just the one!

And the final yay, the university that I was doing some work for last year, the one who had students who believed in Evelyn War and that one was best going to Antarctica from Tasmania via South Georgia and then Macquarie Island, has FINALLY paid me! Only six months late. It is so nice not to be several thousand dollars behind any more! I have ballast in my account again! Yippee!

Hurrah for getting paid. And hurrah for 10K starting. *scurries off to read*

ROFL <3 you like mad *smishes*

Thank you for the amazingly funny b-day wishes. I'll be sure to let my sister know what you wish for her daughter lol! and OMG amused with the father bit =P

Also, I don't blame you for not following me. Being a fan of so many means you cannot actively follow them all, there is not enough hours in the day to do so.

*big squish* Thank you, my dear BB for spreading the word. And are we to be expecting stories from YOU at yay_potterkids??? That would be sooooooooo fabulous. I LOVE the way you describe kids and your fics are always interesting and exciting; I'm sure you'd attract a lot of readers. (Sorry for the outburst of enthusiasm, I couldn't help myself. ;D)

YAY KID!FIC :D :D :D Sometimes I really adore HP fandom, if only because it's big enough to support so many awesome things at once

My university gave out information sheets about appropriate apostrophe usage to a 2nd/3rd year English class...

It's all well and good getting paid, but you can't blow it all at Madova this late, can you! *huffs* Then again, you can't put gloves in your bank account. Why do they make it so tricky?

Well, you know, it's probably taken them this long to interpret your account and find someone with enough brains to process the payment. >.>

But yaye for money!

btw - because I'm curious, in the 10k are writers writing about their charity etc of choice in their fics? or was that the whole point? or am I just losing the plot in a bigger way than I thought?

ps, ignore my btw - although I'm curious to know if many are ...

See, you jest, but after months of not hearing back from them, I wrote in and the Accounts team had stalled because I had not filled in a form required. 'Send me the form!' I said.

They did. 'Er, yeah, this form is actually meant to be filled out by the payer, which is you, not the payee, which I would like to be me some time ... see where it says so three times at the beginning?'

And some are, some aren't. I have mine making a guest appearance that most people won't spot, yesterday's fic had none of hers (though lots of someone else's) and some others are very much to do with the issue.
