Random notes from the fannish portion of my weekend--


* Saw HP7.2 Saturday, along with the rest of the world (most of which I think were in our theater). I really thought I wouldn't cry all that much. I left the HP fandom after the hideous event at the end of Book 5 and have been distantly bitter about it ever since.

But at the first sight of Hogwarts, I burst into tears and spent the rest of the movie sobbing into a fistful of concession stand napkins. I guess I'm still a sucker after all.


* After the movie, I got conned into watching the first couple episodes of Suits. This show is like Cori-nip. It doesn't hurt that I've been looking for an excuse to get fannish about Gabriel Macht since Bad Company in 2002 (when chelseafrew and I devised a sweeping epic spy slash story between Agent Seale (who had no first name the whole movie) and Chris Rock's first character (who is on screen for all of 3 minutes before getting killed off)).

I don't think I'm ready to read fic yet, but I couldn't set a season pass fast enough when I got home.


* summerpornathon has been amazing fun, though like a lot of people, I'm getting kind of burned out. I had to laugh at this week's new challenge--I was really, really, really hoping it would be darkfic, and then it was...the opposite. I think I write fluffy, funny stuff better than I write heavy angst, in general, but I can't really do it on command without some previous inspiration. I was panicking pretty badly until I remembered the one kind of fluffy and cracky idea I wanted to write a while ago. It might actually be better suited for a short-short anyway.

At least my team is doing well--back to second place this week! I'm not convinced we can overcome Team Gluttony at this point, but we seem a pretty stubborn bunch on the whole, so you never know.

Your team is a worthy foe and I am envious of your second base place stealing. I'm on Pride, so we were second last week. ;D

I don't have any ideas for this week yet. I'm better at humour and crack than angst, but like you said, I think it's definitely harder to do it on command than angst. Time to start angsting about fluff. :3

We've been sneaking up on you, slow but sure! But you guys are still well within striking distance. We'll have to fend you off with sticks this week (um...fluffy sticks? unicorn horns?)

I'm somewhat comforted that so many of us are angsting about the fluff. Hmm... is fluffy angst eligible??
