In and Around Fandom (News and Recs!)

[themostepotente]

Good morning all! *pats venti-sized iced chai latte ala three shots o' espresso* I am behind once again, but I do come bearing recs (mostly art) and some news.

[Recs]

[FIC] Your Legacy - Draco-centric, Harry/Scorpius [R - warning for character death] by Mystery Author.

Every time you see him, he is different – all long limbs and cocky smirks. He's not yours any longer; his eyes are sharp and his wit is cutting like he knows you better than you know yourself.

Second person pov is ♥! Legacy is beautiful, heartbreaky and spare. There's not a word wasted nor a word out of place. I love how the author demonstrates in so few words the lengths in which a father will go for his beloved son.

[ART] Death Eater Masks by dixiebell12.

A collection of 14 masks made by Dix. She will be selling these at Infinitus. Very cool!

[ART] For a Minute There, I Lost Myself - Snape/Sirius [PG] and Listen to My Thoughts - Harry/Draco [G] by reira_21.

[ART] Bashful [WS], Slytherin Dorm [NWS] and Stubborn [WS] all Harry/Draco by quimvaa.

[ART] Snape [WS] by tbranch.

[ART] Portrait of Severus Snape [WS] by foxestacado.

[ART] The Marauders [WS] and Sleeping In - Remus/Sirius [WS] by kjenny.

[ART] School Ties - Remus/Sirius [WS] by celestialsoda.

[ART] Transfiguration - Remus/Sirius [NWS] by ericahpfa.

[ART] Don't Touch My World - Harry/Draco [G] and Kilt - Draco [PG] by reira_21.

Enjoy all!

Oh no! I'm too fat for teh rides! *cue major diet*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I wanted to HURT someone after I read that article.

I thought of you the other day, btw. Had to talk myself out of buying a '73 Norton Commando, because the shifter was on the right side instead of the left, and apparently classic British motorcycles all have oil leakage problems. Didn't we have a convo about Triumphs on this very same issue? But it was very pretty and very British and I wanted it. LOL!

Thank You for recing my masks! *tackles & hugs*

Dix

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

LOVED the masks, Dixie! I'm sure they will sell like hotcakes!

♥

I just cannot stop staring at ericahpfa's art...

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Mmm, it was quite lovely, wasn't it?

Lots of really good Remus/Sirius art lately, I'm very happy to report. *g*

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

Oh, foxestacado! Always so pretty!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see her do Harry/Draco. Maybe I'll poke her about a commission after Infinitus.

[foxestacado.livejournal.com]

Thank you for reccing! *bows at your feet*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Your art is just so beautiful, Fox ♥

Question - would you ever consider doing Harry/Draco? I'd KILL to see your interpretation of the pairing.

[foxestacado.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

After I finish Before the Storm, I am not planning any HP-themed paintings for a while, unless it's for commissions. I have a few ideas for other fandoms. I hope someone commissions Harry/Draco! It's an intriguing pairing, to be sure. Not one of my personal favorites, but I understand why people ship it :D

That story about fat riders being turned away from the ride at WOHP breaks my heart. My son and I are planning to go down there next year to go to Disney and WOHP and I hate the fact that I can't go on the most important ride in that park. I'm hoping the outrage will prompt a redesign. :-(

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Wasn't that just RIDICULOUS? Can you imagine being one of the 'witches' or 'wizards' stationed at the entrance to turn people away? What a bullshit job that would be! Yeah, Ride!fail for sure. I hope they do something about that, too.

Just remembered you had posted some recs I didn't have time to look at at the time and thought I could use a little break from work right now.

Does that mean you're thinking of going? :)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I had really hoped to be out of fandom at that point, but I'm seriously considering this. I've even run the idea past Jan.

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

Well, in fandom, out of fandom, it's still nice to meet fandom friends. :) Have no idea at all yet if I might be able to go myself, but I know I'd love to see you again! (Is it three years already? I still remember you so clearly like it was only last month!)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

It would be WONDERFUL to see you again, too ♥
