all about fic

[sarea]

Today is Dec. 16, which means there are exactly 10 days left in which to finish your entry for the_feast. And you're all participating, right? RIGHT? I really, really hope so! :D

You know, I have a pretty good track record with making premise suggestions and having fabulous fics come from them. I told jade_okelani I wanted to see Ginny being Draco's slave, and she wrote Our Winter. I told mynuet I wanted to see Draco as a cabana boy, and she turned it into the Cabana Boy series. And my streak continues! This time it's sunshinefanfics, with Smoking in the Head Boy's Room, which you can read here or here. It's my reward fic for having won her birthday fic contest. I asked to see a scenario where Ginny likes a boy who wants an experienced girl, so Ginny has to go to our favorite boy-toy for some lessons. :D I am so lucky to be surrounded by such fabulously talented people, who can turn silly, guilty-pleasure suggestions into awesome stories. *huggles you all*

This week was supposed to be a light week. I was really happy to see that my schedule looked clear in the time before I was going to take a 3-week vacation, so that I could just go off without any fuss. But of course things have been completely turned on their head and I'm the busiest that I've been in over a month. :p Now I'm wondering if I will be able to get done all the things I need to get done before I'm supposed to leave, and as is my nature, I'm stressing. So yeah, I probably won't be able to post the last part of Portkey Party until sometime next week, when I'm in California. As long as it's not the thing I forget. (Every trip, I forget one crucial item. In the past I have forgotten: a) contact solution, b) underwear, c) hairbrush.) In which case, it will take a wee bit longer.

Oh no. *sniffles* *wonders if she can get someone to txtmessage her when it gets posted .. as she'll have to drive into work next week specifically to read the last bit of PP*

Ugh at that job of yours. I want to call them and go "D00ds, it's nearly Christmas; give Sarea a break!!"

Heh. I must say, I've v. glad that all of my favorite (and some of the best) authors are judging in your contest. It makes it seem like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Are you getting good turn out so far?

Submissions have been fairly minimal so far, but I'm hoping most will come in during the day or two before the deadline. I know that personally, I tend to take up all the necessary time and submit at the 11th hour. :D I'm excited too!

I can't wait to read the fics from "the feast"- I'm not participating even though I was really tempted to. :p Your mention of "Smoking in the Head Boy's Room" got me intrigued though so I'm going to run over to read that in a bit. :D Btw, I've been wanting to ask where you got your bg Draco pic? I love that picture and wanted to make an icon or some graphic out of it. I'm particularly drawn to his fingers for some reason. ^^;

Awww, I'm sorry to hear you won't be participating.

The Draco I use in my background I got from the Leaky Cauldron pic archives. It shouldn't be too hard to find -- just go to http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/ (at least I think that's the address) and look for their image galleries... Hope that helps!
