Sort of. All non-fandom related posts are locked.

I'll have some cool form to fill out if you wanna be added, but for now, just comment with your main fandom and why you wanna friend me. :)

Quick post gais.

WOLVERINE WAS FUCKING AWESOME Y/N!?

Hugh Jackman is fine. His gf is a bop.

Come on, y'all, who saw it??

No I did not read the comics..



YES. IT IS THAT EPIC.

+ WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS WEATHER. It has been in the nineties the past three days. This is not normal. (I laugh at that line in PoA. Anybody? Anybody? *sigh*) SF is supposed to be 60's/70's year-round, not 90's in the middle of fucking spring.

+ Today, I re-beat Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. WOOT WOOT. GETTIN MA ZELDUH AHN. Not... the whole game lol. Just respective Ganondorfs.

+ Squee? I think I have mixed feelings. Suffice it to say, I will see it.

+ Come on, y'all, help me out. I CAN HAZ CONCRIT??

+ Ima post more art here. Because I have sketches and stuffs. Why have I neglected LJ?

Nothing real to update, but flist.... NEW HBP TRAILER IS NEW AND INTENSE AND AMAZING AND THE MOVIE WILL BE FAB



SNAPE. DRACO. HARRY. GOLLUM! INFERI. COOL EFFECTS. OPAL NECKLACE. YESS. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.

Coherency later. For now: squee fest.

So... despite Harry's lack of steady meals at the Dursleys, they got him piano lessons?

Does anyone know where I can find Zelda fan fics? I can't seem to find any archives, and I really want to get back into that fandom legitly.

And I have a feeling fanfiction.net will not be much help :P

From the less_for_you exchange:

"The Day Before"


and

"Treasures Beyond Gold"

Both fics are incredible. They reminded me why I love the pairing, and why I love the two characters. They are heart string-tuggers, to be sure -- but not in a fluffy way.

( Some deets on each )

It's obvious that both writers really thought about everything, which adds a great sense of sophistication.

I could go on about both. Bottom line, read them. And while you're there, read the rest and stay tuned for more :)

I hope fics like these put the Snily fandom on the maps for real. I want to see DISCUSSIONS, like with WIKTT. Damn guys, come on. Why is Snily not more popular??

LUK GAIS. I DONT FAYL AT FANDOM ENNEE MOAR!

I don't think I like Snape/Hermione that complies with Deathly Hallows.
My Snily fangirl just can't see past his affection revealed in TDH. Maybe I just haven't read enough? I dunno the idea isn't thrilling. Like, discounting his love for Lily just grates on me. SSHG will never be canon; it's like wishing for Snape/Lupin. I mean come on. The snily fandom is small enough as it is. Can we not revel in the one smidgen of hope we were given by JKR?

Also, Snape died. There's no way to get over that. Come ON, people.

*grumbles*

Remember a while back when I said I wouldn't procrastinate on my less_for_you assignment? Yeah...

It's not that I'm not working; on the contrary! I just bit off more than I can chew.. >0<

I've asked for an extension and I'm begging I'll get one. There's no way I'll finish by tomorrow. If only I could rant and rave, but I CAAAAN'T. I hate exchanges sometimes >(

Fandom and I seem to have conflicting feelings for each other. Obviously, I love it, otherwise I wouldn't be here (cause I'm on LJ so much right?). But I realized after spending last weekend and finals week reading fanfiction practically nonstop, that when I immerse myself in fandom, I enter a mindset that really cuts me off from any social, well, anything. There isn't really anyone in my everyday RL who can talk with me on matters like "who would Link really end up getting with in Ocarina?" and "how do you think JKR feels about Snape/Hermione?" So I end up not really delving into fandom during the week hardly at all.

Now, I spent a lot of my time last weekend immersed again, which was wonderful. I did have a sort of "I'm wasting the day!" feeling sometimes, but I was otherwise content. I even got some self-editing done, which was also great! But as soon as someone would ask whether or not I could chill, I'd instantly feel unwilling and even lightweight melancholy. I'd make the excuse that no, I just wanted to relax, when in fact I wanted to be in fandom. During the week, I was getting my computer out at every chance I had, and like ignoring friends. Which I now realize sucks.

I either distance myself from fandom, or saturate myself in it. Both ways, I end up isolated. I really want to find the happy medium, because I can't handle the sacrifices accompanying either extreme.

Help?
