Day 04

Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"

I’m going to count meeting mywitch IRL this week :)

Day 5

In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

( Ron/Draco, Harry/Draco, and multifandom recs under the cut )

Day 06

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

Art of one of my fics. This has only happened once, for Mrs Malfoy’s Finishing School For Young Ladies (as a private gift, I don’t think she posted it publically or I’d link) and it was EVERYTHING I COULD HAVE WANTED AND MORE.

2. Tropey femmeslash. This has definitely got better but still, I feel like femmeslash has this fabulous pile of original, lyrical writing - but that reputation, particularly within HP, intimidates fans. And sadly there isn’t much people having fun and letting their id out to play, throwing their copper/thief Diana/Alex handcuffs porn and Hermione/Pansy slavefic and Natasha/Pepper soulmates AU at the wall to see what sticks. DO THAT. If you wanted to write deaged or animal transformations or fuck or die for Cat/Kara in particular, I would not be opposed. *coughcough*

3. People feeling comfortable disagreeing with me on meta posts, and being okay with me doing the same. Potter fandom is still in, basically, a trauma backlash: we were the big crazy wanky fandom, and then everyone got really focussed on being polite and avoiding wank to an EXTREME extent. And I feel like the Tumblr tussles, with fans who’re a lot more wanky because of the effects of Tumblr as a platform and not coming up through that history, have only made LJ Potter fandom more suspicious of disagreement. It is very Potter-focussed - my flisters who came up through Buffy or Doctor Who meta are much more able to violently yet politely disagree and debate in each other’s comments and stay friends. And it’s great.

4. Concrit :) For me anyway. And more comments for everybody!

My last Rectober post, ahis week is pretty much all about my gleeful exploration of the Avatar: the Last Airbender fandom. I love this canon so much, guys! And I am so beyond late, but I have also spent yonks NOT following links because I knew I’d get round to it someday, and OMG THE EXCITEMENT. I’m also discovering where the Korra/Asami stuff I have YEARNED for is hiding. S2 might not want to give us any shared screentime with them BUT I DON’T CARE. This is the Avatar/angsty rich kid rejecting their evil father pairing for me!

LOL. Not that Asami and Zuko don’t have parallels - but she is so much more together than him. I started giggling as I wrote ‘angsty’ because Asami is a light spring rain and Zuko is an angst TYPHOON.

I am so so tragically late for this fandom. But I don’t care, I will read and watch ALL OF THE THINGS, because I need more of these characters. And this is the only fandom since Buffy where I have simultaneously adored the canon ships and wanted to multiship my little heart out. Although I also just want whatever the A:TLA equivalent of gen casefic is. YEEEARNING.

Also, if you wanted to rec me an Avatar icon maker or comm, I would not be opposed to that. I have a couple of great Korra icons but it's just not enough.

This is such a January recs post. A present for me, great fest pieces from catching up, and a couple of pure-joy vids because even in the tropics we need happy things in January.

The Skin You’re In by entrenous88. Buffy/Faith, ~500 words, PG. Summary: When Buffy sees Faith.

This a fantastic ficlet for ME. I love Buffy's recognition of what's going on with Faith but that she still doesn't know quite what to do, and the really vivid, perfect images of Faith-as-Buffy-sees-her, and the way it could be gen except there's this ~vibe between them, always. :D Plus I love Buffy/Faith post-Chosen, which this is.

Less variety than last week, partly because of my rummage through my Ron/Draco bookmarks for crack_broom...
