Even with a certain impending doom (the LSATs--ackwtfwtf!!) looming ahead in my near future, I'm working on three rather large fandom projects. I thought I'd keep you guys up to date. ;P

1. The City in Flames (TCiF): an AU (canon up to OotP) Millicent Bulstrode-centric fic that I've been mulling over since 2006. I know, I know, that's a hella long time to be working on one fic. But this is my baby and I'd rather take my time than do a half-assed job.

2. Ginny 100: I'm doing a set of 100 fics (or drabbles) for 100quills. I signed up waaaay back in the days but haven't had the guts to buckle down until now.

3. The Sixth Year: this was a small ten-chapter fic I wrote in 2006. It was the inspiration for the now-abandoned RPG thesnakepit. I was going through my old notebooks for TCiF things when I found character drafts and such for 'The Sixth Year' (which was called 'The Emerald Club' back then--in hindsight, that sounds like a seedy "gentlemen's club" or a casino rewards program). The drafts are not all terrible, and I love me my Slytherins, so why not?

And now you are all caught up.

I have finally evolved into a being that requires no sleep.

Scratch what I wrote below. mustntgetmy is totally right regarding InsaneJournal: that smiley is terrifying.

I am coming back around to fandom. What I decided a few bleary-eyed nights ago still sounds like a good idea. Sure, the scenery has changed a bit (has it really been 2+ years since I left?), and sure, HP fandom drama gets exhausting, but I was never the sort of person to let fandom eclipse my real life... So I think I'm in the clear.

A bit of housekeeping:

-this is a fandom journal. This means I will only talk about HP + fandom related events here. If you don't want your f*list filled with drabbles and HP babble, please don't add/remove me. I really, really will not be offended.
-all of my fan fiction will be archived at my FF.net account. There will be things put up on LJ, but most everything I write will be at FF.net.
-as far as you know, my name is Venetia Cursive.

like everyone else...

Like most everyone else in fandom has already done, I'm moving over to an InsaneJournal account. See you guys on the other side. :)

venetia_cursive: man, okay
venetia_cursive: I found this COWBELL
venetia_cursive: that had the word "Grindelwald" printed on the bottom
masincla: ...
masincla: oh my god
venetia_cursive: I mean, I didn't buy it because it was $30 at some antique shop
venetia_cursive: but I was kind of freaked out
masincla: clearly you found one of the horcruxes
venetia_cursive: I...
venetia_cursive: I should have bought it
venetia_cursive: and destroyed it
masincla: clearly
masincla: you may have come away with a withered hand, but it would have been worth the sacrifice
venetia_cursive: :/
venetia_cursive: kind of freaky
venetia_cursive: is Grindelwald a common name at all??
venetia_cursive: yes.
venetia_cursive: Yes it is.
masincla: it is?
venetia_cursive: yeah
venetia_cursive: Grindelwald is a place
venetia_cursive: "10 Hotels in Grindelwald", "Visiting Grindelwald?" "Grindelwald... Plan a vacation!"

venetia_cursive: okay, so maybe not a Horcrux but just a bad souvenir choice
masincla: hahahaha.
