Please ignore the spurt of posts while I get my masterlists up, thank you. :)

Tomorrow I am beginning my CELTA course! It is all very exciting and not a little scary. By the end of February, I will (if all goes well) know how to teach adult learners English, and have a qualification to prove it.

I will also have helped teach quite a few people, many of whom are refugees. (It’s the way International House works: we people learning to teach get lots of teaching practice, and vulnerable people needing English in a hurry get lessons on the cheap.) Hopefully those lessons will go well and, you know, not wreck anyone’s learning.

*bites nails*

SO. Among other things, darlings, this is a HIATUS ANNOUNCEMENT. I’ll be posting my hp_kinkfest fic on the 5th, but aside from that, I basically won’t be around until March. No reading or reccing or chatting or posting, and probably very little writing. :S

I will try to poke my head in around my birthday, because I love you all and also if I get any birthday wishes etc I don’t want to seem at all ungrateful. But I am pre-emptively warning you, if you are the kind of nice person who does birthday wishes, that you may have to wait ten whole days between my birthday on the twenty-first and my crawling out of the CELTA swamp on the first before I reply. I AM ALREADY SORRY AND EMBARRASSED AT THE THOUGHT OF THIS, so hopefully the warning will be unnecessary. But there it is.

Along these lines: if you post anything, or anyone else posts anything, you think I’d be interested in, do please tell me in the comments! I’ll be very flattered that you thought of me.

SEE YOU IN MARCH, DARLINGS. DON’T BREAK THE INTERNET.

Today is a ‘(relatively) new fandoms day; apologies to most of you!

None of the Sherlock is post-RF, due to me being a wimp and also how I couldn’t post recs last week cos LJ wasn’t loading for me.

I finally remembered to repost my Kinky Kristmas fic - thanks for the inadvertent poke, klashfor :)

Word count: ~4000

Disclaimer: The boys and girls belong to JKR, even though I’m often much nicer to them than she is.
Author’s Notes:This turned out to be for leela_cat (yay flistie!) and she was lovely about my very first threesome. Thanks again to my brilliant last-minute betas, who made this fic significantly better!

BRB SHAKING AND CRYING

Hey, remember when months ago I said I was gonna do a weekly rec post and you guys voted Saturday top?

No, neither do I, it was all back before Christmas. BUT. Here begin my weekly rec posts! Split by fandom and medium, because that’s how secretsolitaire does it and it seems sensible.

I have Thor and Sherlock recs waiting seeing as they’re eating my brain right now, but I have to go and see the new Holmes film and have sushi and talk about the part with the riding crop. So, enjoy and I will rec the rest next week :)

OMG WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY.

Okay, so remember my crazed rant about LJ’s newest fail?

IT GOT WORSE.

I’m sure most/all of you have heard already, but just so you know: Livejournal has TURNED ON automatic payments on some paid accounts. If you - like me - have a paid account with automatic payments switched off, you’d better check here. I still have the email from months ago when I turned off automatic payments. If I hadn’t seen these links, LJ would have got more of my money when I specifically hit buttons to NOT give it to them.

It’s unclear whether it’s a glitch - from what I can tell it hasn’t happened to every paid account - but the timing is, to say the least, suspicious. And as far as I’m concerned it’s on the very edge of corporate fraud.

Anyway, beyond all that: check out rollback88. It’s a comm where you can fill out a poll about your opinions on Release 88 and which things specifically are or aren’t causing you difficulties. Providing hard data about all the users who want which things fixed, and you don’t have to fight CAPTCHA to do it! Hurray!

Kinky Kristmas - as well as the other winter fests - is upon us, darlings! (To paraphrase John Green, I feel like they’re sort of preying upon us.) Because I am a scandalously late sort of person, at this juncture I must ask if anyone would be all right to beta my KK fic? It’s pretty short. More details if requested in email or PM :) Someone who’s either not involved in DD or is a mod would be preferred, cos Kinky Kristmas does double-blind prompting & claiming: I don’t know who I’m writing for :)



Speaking of Christmas things: YAY I have a present!! lilachigh, being a lovely human, has sent me something! I am Being Strong and not opening it, though.

The same cannot be said of the TOTALLY ADORABLE fic alafaye wrote me, though. You guys. So cute. Harry/Draco and ice-skating! And Draco being grumpy cos he doesn’t want to skate, but giving in because Harry never got to go due to his terrible childhood. That detail just made me wibble all over the place. You can find the fic here - go and leave some love!!!
