I wrote a Dramione.

Stop it, it's been seven months!!!!  I've neglected my secondary ship quite shamefully, I know.  It's only 2,570 words, so should be fairly quick.

And since you non-het readers won't touch it, I have a slashy rec for you.  Even if you don't ship Albus/Severus and never will, you need to read this fic because it is GORGEOUS!  She might convert you.  It's by the brilliant stillaseeker.

Shhhhh

Oh, and since I'm blabbing, I'd like to make a list of things I am thankful for.

1) I'm thankful one of my children is a READER!  He snatched up a book at the library on Saturday and cried, "Number 34!!!"  I thought my little heart would explode with glee.

2) I'm thankful for all of my LJ friends, because you keep me sane.  Although I only know you by your little words and icons, I know that you are all very real people out there and I wish you all everything you need, and lots of the things you want.

3) I'm thankful for the fics that take me away from the boredom and the grueling stupidity of RL.  Much love to all of you fab writers out there!!!

4) I'm thankful for chocolate.  Oh yes.

5) I'm thankful for LaRue, because without her I probably wouldn't have written a single word, ever, or at least kept up with it.

6) I'm thankful that I'm easily distracted, otherwise this list would be really long and right now coffee is calling to me...

I blipped onto Mirabella's blog the other day hoping by some astounding miracle that the next chapter of Shadow of His Wings would be loaded (har, you bloody optimist you!) and found her ranting about What Happens in Fandom Stays in Fandom.  Frankly, she's brilliant, but she rants a helluva lot.  Her current rant, about keeping the Real World separate from Fandom World got me thinking.  How many of you out there have secret fandom lives?

Everyone knows I'm utterly Harry Potter obsessed, but not too many people know I'm Harry Potter SLASH obsessed, however, I really couldn't care less if people DID know.  For me, the Real World and Fandom World aren't really separate entities.  I mean, my real name is plastered all over everything I write.  Anyone doing a bloody search on Google will pull up slash central.  (I just did it, lol!  Anyone looking for me will be in for a bit of a... shock.  Oh, that's too funny!)

Anyway, I realize I have an unhealthy level of I-don't-give-a-damn-itis, and most people probably do keep their slash addictions hidden, but does it extend to a level where you freak if your stuff is linked to a non-fandom site?  Do you think the Real World should be kept from Fandom World at all costs?

Enough random babbling.  Back to having Harry pounce on Draco.  And vice versa.
