thatonefriend a gift, but I don't know what they like."????? ME, TOO. So, I want everyone in fandom to copy/paste the information below into a comment and fill it out. That way, if anyone ever wants to get you something, they can come back to this post, which I will tag every way imaginable so you can find it, and just do a search for your username. SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA? Also, this post is for EVERYONE. You don't have to be on my friend's list, you don't have to be in my fandom(s), you can
saras_girl as part of her wedding gifties. :D Just thought I'd post it here while it's still Autumn.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
hd_seasons! It's open to all fandoms and holidays - the idea was generated by a bunch of awesome H/D fangirls so we're hosting it on the H/D comm, but don't feel that you have to create an H/D gift to participate. It is LOW PRESSURE to the point that if you want to send a simple postcard, stick figure, or drabble to your recipient, you can! The point is merely to connect with other fandom people during the holidays when most of us are stressed and can use a smile.hd_holidays submissions are due SOMETIME THIS MONTH. *cough* Just sayin'. bryoneybrynnhd_fan_fair. GET OVER THERE AND START READING AND GIVE LOVESPLOSIONS TO THE AMAZING ARTISTS. The art posted already is hd_seasons, so if you're not following that comm, DO IT NOW. Addresses will be given only to your gifter, but if you're super-paranoid you can request only online items. I'll probably keep it open until October 15th or so to give people time to make and mail stuff. saras_girland her darling) and I've opened up their supersekrit (from Marie) wedding wishes community for anyone that wants to leave them congratulatory messages. Nat will be unveiling the comm to Marie on the 25th during their honeymoon, so there is still time to submit things. :Dwedding_eels
stop_plagiarism. Luckily, she didn't seem to have any other stories there. For the curious, I originally posted this fic AS I WROTE IT, OMG, beginning in November 2006 when I was a fanfic noob. *wipes nostalgic tear* Linky: http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/cheryl_dyson/DPR.htmlsaras_girl!!!!!wedding_eelsfaithwood ever wrote (I'll rec some of my longer favs of hers later down this list o' 100 recs) but every time I mention "the carwashing fic" I get blank stares. THE CARWASHING FIC, OMG. So here it is.faithwoodwritcraft is hoping to plan two meetups, one in London and one in New York. Details are HERE at her journal - it seems to be friend-locked, so if you have questions you can ask them here and she can point you to the correct place for discussion. Feel free to also post your ideas and/or meetup suggestions at the Insaners community. I think I got the posting permissions set to open. *crosses finger* I think phoenixacid is awake if there are technical difficulties.
So, lubricus was amazing and now we can all go back to our regular lives with ALL THE SAD. I know some of you reading this have never been to a convention or a fandom meetup and all I can tell you is that if you ever have the opportunity, you should DO IT. There is something so incredible about hanging out with people who "get" you and this wonderful, bizarre, outwardly-strange world of fandom that we inhabit. There is nothing quite like dropping your usual cautious filters and blurting out things you might never dare say in your day-to-day life. (I say might because some of us are "filters, what filters?") There is something indescribable about laughing until you hurt, talking about writing and art and fandom, discussing the strange juxtaposition of jobs, significant others, children, and whatever drives us to fandom and sticks some of us there like glue. There is nothing like putting a name to a face, and to making connections where you never expected to make them.
