Journey of the Featherless

...okay, this is not really pimping, but I HAD to wish THE HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY OF ALL BIRTHDAYS to midnitemarauder!! I'm sorry I'm so late - but I hope you had the most BRILLIANT of days! ♥♥♥

1. yuletart.
   
   Fandom nominations are on!! From the 20th through the 29th, if you have not participated to last year's edition and would like to be a part of the YuleTart world (oh boy, how do I even think that stuff up), you can nominate and/or second your favorite fandoms! (More coherent info in the post.) My choices were:
   
   
   • The Dark Tower
   
   
   • The Liquor series
   
   
   • Discworld
   
   
   • Antique Bakery
   
   
   • Mirai no Kioku/Kaze No Yukue
   
   
   — which makes it three books (series) and two manga. (I love Saika Kunieda way too much for my own good. Oh boy, do I ever.) It hurt my heart to leave out Gerard and Jacques, though. ;P There are "visual" fandoms as well, of course (Torchwood, for instance), but... considering the discomfort I have in drawing those, I know I wouldn't have picked them out in the sign up form, so. ;)
   
   If you like to draw, please consider signing up! It's fun and it's exciting and and and I just want to see it getting as biiiiig as possible. :D




2. pencilslingers has its first challenge! :D (Jeez, see what happens I'm not online for most of the week? D: I miss stuff like this, that's what!) The theme was Cuthbert (♥♥♥), and sadly it's almost over - I think either today, or tomorrow until the new one is posted. Wah, now I'm curious to see the next! And I hope I'll be able to do something for it, too. Because there's this thing called snarry_games that...




3. The RS Games archive I mentioned aaaages ago is now done! ♥ I posted it directly on remusxsirius, it made more sense... Boy, I just hope it'll work for other people as well as for me ;P




4. ...anything I should pimp that I've missed?




5. Oh! Right, the Torchwood drama. ...that deserves its own entry, though. *g*

And you thought I wasn't crazy enough?

Guess what else I signed up for?

My first Games experience isn't over yet, and I've already entered my name in the snarry_games! ;D (SIGN UP POST over here at IJ! You don't need to have an account over there to sign up, by the by.) I'm really intrigued, you know? In all my years in the HP fandom, Snarry is the only pairing other than R/S that I've read with any kind of consistency (read: checked out > 3 fanfictions), but I've never really made the leap to fanart.

And mmmh, now I really feel like reading If You Are Prepared again. ...or maybe not, considering the state it's likely to leave me in. :P And all the Remus/Sirius games fics I haven't read yet? Oh yeah, there's that too...

Aw, I know you love me, even overposting and all. ;P

Because, you see, rs_games finished posting just last Sunday! Lots of good stuff is on there - and WHY, think of coincidences, I know of a place you could use to browse through that. *g* Okay, okay, maybe I can think of two... ;)

by type, genre and prompt | by title and rating

And now, well. I did that excel sheet, I better put it to good use. ;) Especially since there's no way I'm going to have that offline archive I mentioned before voting is over.

( Complete Post-Hogwarts Stats - Round 2 AND for all the games! )

And this is REALLY all! I hope you'll keep on visiting the community, and the entries that have been produced - from either team, really. But most of all, as a games participant, I really hope that you have enjoyed what you've seen. We all gave our best. ♥

Yep, I'm back! Actually, I've been back, but I haven't been much active. Sorry about that. ^^;

But I have heard about something! This is for all of you who were sad about merry_smutmas retiring - trubbleclef told me that she and midnightblue88 are putting together a fest that will try to fill that particular hole.




Looks pretty, doesn't it? I'm not sure if I will be joining myself - guess it depends on how busy I'm going to get in that period - but I'm definitely giving it a thought. :D

Before we begin: there's only a few days (er. One, actually) before livelongnmarry ends (and I was not reminded just by my flist, OH NO). You guys have been so absolutely WONDERFUL to me, but there are also loads of other really interesting offers. Do check them out!

(And, omg. Thank you so much to everyone who bidded, you warmed my heart so much. If I didn't know myself well enough to realize how highly impractical it would be (honestly, I still have to finish answering the comments to the Gorecki-commentary! And it's a fun kind of thing for me!), I SO would draw something for each and every of you. ♥ ♥ ♥)

I've begun the second rs_games masterlist on LJ! ♥ In case you want to link there (be my guest ♥) a way could be:

<table align="center" bgcolor="white" style="border: 1px dashed #993333; padding: 3px" cellpadding="10"><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://kasche.livejournal.com/256459.html"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/kasche/pic/000k78qk" width="487" height="117" style="border: 1px solid #993333"></a> <font size="-2"><a href="http://kasche.livejournal.com/256459.html"><font color="#993333">by type, genre and prompt</font></a> <font color="#993333">|</font> <a href="http://kasche.livejournal.com/255856.html"><font color="#993333">by title and rating</font></a></font></td></tr></table>

rs_games picked up posting again, and so the list has got updated. :)





But no worries, you won't get this message each time I do. ;P I'm doing this now also to alert you to the fact that new entries to the list will be marked with a , and that you'll be able to tell the Not Worksafe art by the NWS right after the title. (For yes, now we need it. :P)

Yep. The notion that I might be having way too much fun with this has been crossing my mind. Occasionally. But never for long.

(Oh, and since some of you has first seen the archive, it has also aquired a "By Rating" section. I find Very Amusing Indeed the fact that there has yet to be a single G rated entry.)

Enjoy! :D

If you are one of those who enjoys the Remus/Sirius pairing, there are so many goodies that rs_games has been dishing out these past days, isn't that true? Enough to keep you warm, cosy and entertained for days on end. ♥

But isn't it almost like viewing the shop of a bakery shop? There are so many things that look appetizing, but more often than not, you can't take them all - you have to make a choice and you might end up asking the man/woman at the counter for advice.

Here is an attempt to do just that. :) Below you will find a comprehensive archive of the submissions posted so far - limited to my team's entries. The lovely girls of Team MWPP will have to make their own, if they like the idea ;P - which you will be able to browse by type, by prompt, by genre, by title and by rating. (Order-obsessed? Me? Why maybe a little...)

I will keep updating it as the mods will begin posting again - of course, according to what online time I will actually have. ;) For the moment, dig in and have fun! :D

...and don't forget to vote. ;P

Time for a little recap, so it is! *g*

This is what has been posted so far for my team. All of you are invited to browse, see if there is anything that interests you and draws your eye, and do vote if you feel so inclined. ♥

(Oh ha ha - the only thing missing here is me tapping my throat three times. ;P)

Amid A Crowd Of Stars Harry is having trouble with his homework. Sirius listens as Remus helps him.   Beyond the Veil What happened after Sirius fell through the veil.   The Choice "It's the fear of what comes after the doing that makes the doing hard to do. But you can almost always live with the consequences." — How might one choice affect your life? Remus POV, canon compliant through DH.   The Line in the Sand "The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you." — Everyone does things they know they shouldn't. Sometimes, they even regret them. When Peter confessed to Sirius that he was a Death Eater, the world changed.   Stardust They’d have you believe war is romantic—with soldiers ready to lay down their lives for Queen and Country and love found in even the darkest of times. But for those caught up in battle—those who watch their lives and loves break before them—it means picking up the pieces, rebuilding what you can and learning to move forward again.   Stars Fifteen years after he thought he’d left it behind him forever, Remus Lupin is back at Hogwarts. It is all much as he’d left it in 1978, with one notable exception: where once he’d roamed the corridors of the castle alongside Sirius Black, now he hunts him down. And try as he might, he just can’t stop thinking about the events that led up to this change.

Homecoming "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself" — Remus comes home after a long day at work.   Weightless Again "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." (Oscar Wilde)

We all hope that we are well met you will enjoy our production and will want to come back for more. ;) *bows*

In case, you know, you'd missed it.

Er.

I had no idea it would begin posting so soon after the deadline! :o Granted, I hadn't actually done anything as simple as checking out the date on the FAQ post, but. Would you believe that my heart jumped a little in my throat when I saw the entries on my flist? Omg omg. ♥

And this time I officially resolve to read all the stories - oh dear, it will be a conquest if I even read a quarter half of them. I always, always save them all to read at leisure (I just can't read - or rather, I can't enjoy reading - if I'm on a computer connected to the internet, you know? There are always so many things that need doing, things I remember to check out, etc. I'm weird Y/Y?), but I never read any of them. I just don't have that kind of time to spend in front of the computer! :O How ridicolous is it that it takes me days to read even the fics written for me? Honestly, I swear I'd buy me an ebook reader just to be able to keep up with all the fics I want to read. They can read html files, right? :P

In any case, it's not as if the partecipants can vote - understandably enough - so at least it doesn't make much of a difference there. Still. :/

(But you can vote! )


On other subjects, I've begun working on my Big Bang, Baby! pics. Oh, I have a strong, STRONG suspicion that I might start dabbling in the Harry/Draco area after all. I've been read very good things around there. <333333333

I was so ridiculously flattered when the girls invited me to join! It's something so different from anything I've been in before - in quite a lot of senses! - and I pormise I'll do all my best! <333 (Isn't andreanna's banner just so beautiful? I posted this practically because of it. :3)



ALSO ALSO ALSO. A little rec-time! The lovely lovely nuriwan did two pics for me that are just so adorable. I mean, honestly. LOOK AT THAT JACK. (And if I were you, I'd spare a glance at the Ianto above. ;D) Plus, there's really this cute Owen you just can't miss. ♥



( The (LONG OVERDUE) seven quirks meme! )

You want to do it, you're tagged. ;P


ETA: Now with the seventh quirk as well. *sheepish* Sorry, I can't even do copy&paste.

I have also just finished the Light Fantastic and am more than a little in love with the Discworld.

I'm the only person who uses a big big tablet to draw a pencil picture on it, ain't I. (I mean, using it like a table or something.) Oh well.


Also--hey! Yesterday it was Jim Mack's birthday, wasn't it?
