All the RomCom of Qi Xi

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.

Fry's messed up my schedule. I'm working 14 days in a row. Of which - 10 of them are 15 hours of WORK, 2 hours commute and an hour for lunch. I do not think I am sleeping much in the next week yet.

Am stuck working on Mother's Day which doesn't make me happy. But - oh well. It's money and considering how much I just spent on Mother's Day - I need it. Especially considering that I went out and bought an iPod with my economic stimulus package check. Finally. It's a bright blue iPod nano. This thing had better not die like those on my flist have. *waggles finger at it* It is made of win, though. I got the iTrip and now I have music in my car again!

I know you all are probably all o.O over the whole Ollian thing (yes, I hear the cries of STFU already) but GOD, they are eating my brain. They're like my favorite fic cliches. They're sort of mates, they're definitely flatmates and they have this slow slide into a relationship and once they get to a certain point, they drop off into the hottest stuffs. Though - there is a marked lack of snogging lately. Also - a marked lack of snuggling. And shirtlessness. And sex.

The fanvid eating my brain:



hd_worldcup posted the last set of stories so get out there and read and vote! You have a week free of posting to go to town during! Don't forget that you can drabble and/or comment pr0n during the week, too!

I'm always amazed at how free some people are with their personal information online. I linked from a link to a link to a link and I discovered someone's entire real life down to photos and addresses. I just don't get it.

rs_games has started posting. Go Team Knobby Knees. I mean, Go Team Wrinkly Bits. Err, Go Team Post Hogwarts! School MWPP Old Style, bbs. There are some amazing entries already. Of course, Team Post-Hogwarts have the best ones but you can go for Team MWPP if you must. *winks*

This post of random aimlessness is brought to you by the fact that I'm knackered off my ass and I really just want to go to bed but I must cook mother's day dinner tonight so that we can slip it into the oven tomorrow (homemade lasagna FTW!).

Anyone have any exciting plans? Share?
