Now to Fandom end of year post.
Dec. 30th, 2018 02:04 pmFandom and I had pretty much a non speaking role this year.
My reading was way down and most of what I did read were rereads of previous favourites. I've not read a single Erised fic, nor any Owl Posts, though I am currently reading Femme and Noe's Advent Fic, "All I want for Christmas(is for you to stop talking)" . I'm loving it. Of course all of their fics, either together or individually, are completely brilliant.
I read a couple of HD_fan_fair fics. I finally got around to reading "Turn" by Sara's girl. Loved it, but it's going to take a lot for me to love anything as much as I loved and still love, "All Life is Yours to Miss" so I reread it. Just as good the 2nd time around. Stanley is still just as delightful as before.
I signed up for 4 different fests and dropped out of all of them, except for 1 that I still currently underway. Technically I dropped out of that one too, but ended up actually finishing the fic, so they let me submit it.
That was pretty much it for my active involvement with anything remotely associated with fandom.
I'm hoping I'll be doing some recs of my own this next year, but I don't know. I find recs to be soooo bloody hard to do. I never know why I like something, only that I do. And I get so frustrated trying to put it into words. Does anyone else have that some issue?
But now, I'm looking for some information: Does anyone know if Crack_broom is even still in business? The last post was a year ago, and the person listed as the owner's LJ is deleted. I know it had become massive and almost unmanageable, but it was a great way to rec and read recs of different pairings.
And does anyone know of any excellent Hermione/Pansy fics. I'm looking for something of a slow-burn type of fic. Something along the lines of a Harry/Draco enemies to friends, friends to shagmate, shagmate to soulmate. I've not read much femmeslash, but I don' know, I think those could be really hot and sexy and brilliant. (though I do still think Hermione totally belongs with Ron, still it's such fun to imagine her with others.)
Best of the New Year to all of you!
