OMG, thanks!
*hugs dancing_serpent very tightly*
Thanks so much, dearest, for gifting me with 6 months of paid time on Dreamwidth! You're lovely!
That means I should probably look into what you can do with that account rather than using it as a blatant crossposting tool. For some reason, I foresee polls in the nearer future ;).
current mood: loved

Cheerio!
Ok, dears, off to catch my plane home on the most wintery afternoon yet (hope I'll make it out of London before the snow warning hits...).
liriaen, against all odds, I got your postcard from London today. Thanks *so* much!
And yes, intermittent net access over the coming weeks, unless one of my parents' neighbours has decided to run an unlocked wifi :).
current mood:  busy

Alex Rider
Ok, I think it's time to owe up that I've branched out into a second fandom... I mean I've written a few non-HP fics over the past year, but usually as gifts for people who're into them, not because I had persistent plot bunnies of my own.
Now... this has changed :).
I've been enticed into the Alex Rider books by the ever-evil annephoenix two years ago, and devoured them all in no time. There's also a film that isn't too bad.
Being a creature of simple tastes, what attracts me is the fact that here is a writer who tortures his hero even worse than J K Rowling. What's not to like?!? Basically, it's James Bond for teenagers, with wild plots, mad, evil villains, non-stop breathless action, and a lovely bit of angst and conflicted loyalties. Not much brain-fodder, but great fun. If you're at all that way inclined, have a look at the books :).
I wrote my first story not even thinking about the possibility that there might be a fandom... Well, I was wrong, and have been enjoying AR fic ever since (especially since some of my favourite HP writers are participating!). I don't think discovering this new fandom diminishes my overwhelming love for HP, but it's giving me a nice fresh burst of creative energy. And plot bunnies like hell ;).
Anyway, the reason I'm chattering about this is...
spy_fest (here on LJ)!
Signups are still running until December 19, so if you're in any way so inclined, and have encountered the canon, give it a thought :).
current mood: excited
current music: Skellig, Loreena McKennitt

While I'm not one to blow my own trumpet...
...there are achievements so great in their magnitude, so daringly tethering over the furthermost reaches of the scary Unknown, of such an overbearing and gut-wrenching hyperbolic value it would be a crime to confine them to one's own memory when they weep with the need to be shouted over the rooftops.
So I shall not keep to the modest silence that befits me so well.
I am wrapping Xmas presents.
And I am doing so sober.
Please, please do mind the crashing waves of applause that cannot but accompany such a statement. I wouldn't want you to be deafened.
current mood: tee-totalling
