We had an amazing set of authors and artists sign-up for the hd_worldcup. In the end, no vidders signed up so we had to redo the numbers for each of the positions. I'm thinking it's an awesome thing as there's another artist position and art is love <3.

The 2009 Teams! There's some amazing quality right there. New and returning people, new and well-known names. I'm very excited for this round! I was a bit worried there for a bit that we wouldn't have enough sign-ups but some awesome pimping by flist members (yes, I credit all of you) and at some awesome communities really got the ball rolling. <3 you all!

The only bit that annoys me with HDC is that I keep getting asked if I write H/D (and poor accioscar can attest to the look I get on my face when people ask me this. It's sort of twisted up and stuffs :P). I DO! I HAVE! Just, um, not really since DH. My Memories have my fic in it. Though, um, ignore Voice in the Dark. It's bad an abandoned WIP. And the hd_365 won't make much sense unless you read the comm as so much of it is based on the comm as a whole.

My 7 fave H/D I've written in no specific order are:
Moments
White
Dandelions and Dreams
Moments of Truth Between the Lies
The Latin Trilogy (Deprecor, Experior, Insequor).
One Last Fare (One Last Fare, Dreaming in Madrid and A Long Overdue Conversation)
and A Good Book (see? I've even participated in H/D Centric Fests!)

Most of them aren't happy (and only one of them is DH compliant) but I don't think I write 'happy' well. Some of them aren't the strongest writing as I've matured since then. But they all have a special place in my heart. So, see? I do write H/D. I have about 4 started... I just haven't finished any of them. /defence of my H/D involvement.

So what are you guys most looking forward to at hd_worldcup? What's your favourite piece from last year? What team are you cheering on?

ETA: GreatestJournal is back up until January 30th if you guys need it. Not sure if some of you were aware but I remember reading a few posts about lost rpgs.

*laughs* I can't believe someone asked you if you write H/D. You've be 'round forever (now doesn't that make you feel old? *laughs* )

I'm really excited for this year's fest and I'm so happy we got enough people. Are we still doing the seeker thing by the way? Cos that idea was cool. Intimidating but cool. :)

I must say it is very odd to be cheering on Team EWE this rime round. My brain keeps calling me traitor. *laughs*

Inorite? Poor accioscar asked me that at Terminus and I got this really weird face and then this whole entitlement complex going on and I went "you don't know who I am" in this snooty voice. I'm amazed she didn't kick my ass for being such an entitlement h0r. But since we announced the games, I've seen posts with the question in there. It sort of boggles the mind.

Intimidating but cool. - That's EXACTLY the reaction I was hoping for. The Seeker position is wicked cool but man. Picking the best work and team member and stuffs? THEN keeping quiet about you being that position? Holy moly, that's hard.

LOLLOLOL - you are so a traitor *mock glares*. Try not being able to cheer on any team. It's really weird not to get to go "Team EWE has this great fic!!! And Team Epilogue has AWESOME ART! and Team AU, oh man, wait until you see this!"

You did not! *laughs* I can't imagine you doing that! *snorfles* If/when we meet sometime somewhere in our lovely state, I promise to ask you that exact same question in place of a normal "Hello"! *laughs* Well, I've actually been asked that a fair amount in the locker room. So I can undestand the mind boggling quality of it all! :)

Yes! Keeping up with my self-imposed gag order last year was torture. I couldn't rec anything or squee about fics! It was really painful! Why did I sign up for this again?! *laughs*

I just hope my brain will cooperate again this year. I don't want to come up with dreck. That would be embarassing. *laughs* But I am excited for prompts!
