1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader? I’m a writer primarily.

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Does project mean story? I try to work on one fan fiction at a time.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? Not at the moment.

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? I don’t have a wordcount goal per month. I write my rough draft in person, and my goal is write at least one third of a page every day. The longest I kept this project going is nearly 8 months, but that was a couple of years ago. Now that I’ve graduated I’d like to continue this project though.

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand) I have the beginning of a weird H/D fanfic. Its working title is “Hogwarts’ Knight Bus For the Troubled.” It’s about post-war Harry’s knight bus picking up 14, 15 and 16y/o Draco Malfoy. It’s as if the knight bus sometimes goes back in time because Draco during his 4th, 5th, and 6th year sometimes needs shelter, since his home is infested by Voldemort’s allies. This thing, Voldemort setting up HQ in Malfoy manor, made me think that Draco's arrongance could have been a facade to hide his growing uncertainty and horror for Voldermort and his followers. By discovering this, Harry would then find Draco-in-the-present and have a heart-felt conversation with him. I still have to work out how romanticism fits this outline. I know, it sounds so weird.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you? I’m used to work alone so please excuse my ignorance of the workings of fan fiction communities in LJ. I’m curious about how this works, how is it possible to write in a community, what am I supposed to do here, etc. So please talk to me as if this were the first LJ fan fiction writer community I'd like to join because it’s absolutely true.

Hi! I saw Kitty doing it, so i thought I would do it as well.

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader?
I'm trying to be a writer, but since I'm sadly not a native English speaker, I tend to do some mistakes and I'm very self-conscious about my writing. But after lurking around the HD fandom for years, I finally go for it. And well, we'll see.

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
Ah ah. I'm still trying to write in English without mistakes, so I think I'll stick with one fic at the time for now.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
Cf answer 2. But I'd like to try a few fests in the future.

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month?
I don't really have one, I try to write a few hours every Saturday.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you?
Hum, what else to say.. I'm in my twenties, born in France, but actually living and working in Germany. Still learning both languages. And yeah, I'm searching for some advice and betaing if anyone would be interested. I don't bite and accept very well any constructive criticism.

Hi! I'm Kitty (or maybe Kitty #2? KittySquared? Kitty 2.0? Cattula?) - call me anything (as long as it isn't Kathy).

Are we still doing these? I hope so. I'm very excited about joining in, even if I am a few years late.

So, I'll start off with the basic template

kitty_fic put together for her post:

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader? All 3!!!!!

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Many, many projects in the months and years to come :D

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? Oh dear goodness, yes. So I'm doing Paperlegends over in Merlin (my posting date is really soon and i'm terrified) I'm doing hd-cliche, which is even sooner!!! and I've signed up for teenwolfbigbang. So I'm all over the shop but my main home is hd.

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? It depends what I'm doing, i try to get 2k (2 chapters) of my wips done, although that's died at the moment because of AH time and big bangs. But usually a lot more depending on how much time I've got off work, the season etc.

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand) Just for HD :D we'll keep it simple. My wip, is called 'Hooking Love' and it's based on 'The Wedding Date' where Harry hires an escort Draco to go to Hermione and Ron's wedding, but they have to spend the whole week before together so they appear like a real couple.
And also, my Hd-cliche I've got the cliche of 'adultery' which I jumped for because I already had an idea :) but that ones more of a secret.
And then in other fandoms I've got superheros going on for Merlin and topless gardeners and grifters for teen wolf and basically i like the bizarre.
6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you?...

ff.net: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1347194/Dark-Raven-Wrote

And my LJ messaging is always open.

Ok so, most people on here call me Raven but if you ever contact me via email or see my ff site I go by Bella. I've been reading HD fiction for about 10 years, strangely when I discovered ff I jumped straight into this particular slash pairing and never really branched out. And then I started writing and posting about 5 years ago, although there isn't much in my collection. I deleted a load of stuff I knew I was never going to finish, but I'm hoping to get back on track now I'm more involved in fandom, like chatrooms and these comms.

In fact, i recently entered to become a mod over here and was granted my wish, so hopefully we can all write all the words and have loads of fun doing it. I've actually got an idea for an activity I'd like to run but let's not get ahead here.

So that's me. I'd be happy to answer any questions and I promise I'm really easy to get along with.

Basically: Hello all!! :D

noharte.livejournal.com

The name is Pierce. 21 years old and recently trying to rediscover my passion and creativity for Harry/Draco.

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader? I'm a writer and a beta, though lately I tend to beta more than work on my own projects. If I'm writing, it's roleplay writing recently.
2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? multiple projects because I can never just stick to one thing at a time!
3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? drabbles, mostly. I'm searching for fests or exchanges for this fall currently but having trouble finding them.
4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? Honestly, if I write 1-2,000 words a month on my HD projects, I'd be thrilled.
5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand) a few short pieces, I think two longer fic ideas, and any drabble things I tweek with.
6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you? I have been a devoted HD fan for over eight years now but I have lacked in the writing department for awhile. I'm an avid roleplayer on tumblr though, especially marauder era Slytherins, so lately that's where all my writing energy goes into but I want to get back to my own projects.

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader?

Writer, Cheerleader, Counselor (ie: Basically a Beta without SPaG. SPaG is for the pros... )

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?

Several, several.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?

Not presently, but once I get the notification, I'll be doing

hd_fan_fair.

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month?

I don't have one. Setting a goal would feel too much like pressure and if I didn't meet it, I'd feel like The Whomping Willow had its merry way with me..

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand)

Currently? Both are for HD Career Fair. One officially, one unofficially. A friend had one prompt too many that she could post and I... liberated her of it. :)

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you?

I'm a very social creature. I enjoy talking about my plots and with others about their plots. Brainstorming and getting feedback with another person is something I find satisfaction in. So, if anyone is interested in being one of my "Go-to" people, I'd be very much obliged.

Volunteers for camaraderie would be lovely, but Imperio* is not out of the question. >D

*Those with the tolerance to overcome Imperio will be bribed accordingly.

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader? I have done all three at various points.
2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? I usually have more than one thing going at once, but rarely do they see the light of day.
3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? I have before, but not at the moment.
4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? I could write 5,000 words in a few days, or it could take me a month to write a few hundred. It's so variable and easy to get discouraged that I try to not focus on word counts.
5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand) Currently, an H/D fic that goes A/U after the Sectumsempra scene. I just started it yesterday so I'm not exactly sure where it's going.
6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you? I love having friends, and anybody is welcome to friend me if they like. I'm looking for a beta reader, britpicker, or anything else for this story that I'm writing now so if anyone's interested I'd be glad to have your help.

Current Mood: anxious

colakarmon.livejournal.com

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader?
All of the above. First and foremost a lover of this fandom and a supporter of anyone who is willing to put their talents to work and bring the love to life. It's a noble endeavor. I've been editing fiction in a formal setting for the past six years so I have extensive experience in beta work. I make it a point of being constructive in my feedback and try to work with the author's strengths. I've only been writing fanfiction for a few days, but I've been an original fiction writer for as long as I can remember. Right now, I'm working on integrating myself into communities that will expose me to more writers in the fandom, widen my own audience and therefore strengthen my abilities to construct good fanfiction. What can I say? I want to please the masses, and I can't do that unless I whore myself out a bit.

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
I'm working on one fic right now with multiple chapters, but I'm finding I can punch out oneshots from nowhere if I have the right motivation. So it's both, on and off. I'm getting back into the habit of just writing like a madman with no end in sight. I'm predicting doing a lot of multitasking in my future....

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
Not at the moment. I haven't really looked, though. So that might change. By all means, if anyone needs some new blood, feel free to hound me. I like a challenge.

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month?
Hell, I haven't even thought of that. Might be a smart thing to consider huh? I'll just say that every month's my NaNoWriMo. 1,667 words a day at least, even if it isn't going anywhere. That's healthy, mh?

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand)
The one I'm putting most of my brain into at the moment is just a silly falling-in-love story that's actually based off my own sweetheart experiences from high school. The theme is the concept of the unexpected that I find rather romantic. Falling in love isn't fun unless you're caught off guard sometimes.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you?
I need love, lots of friends. The more the better. I don't exactly know what to do with myself on this site either, so some guidance would be loved. I love talking to people so please be in my business, it'll make me smile. I'm a newbie at fanfiction writing but my goal is to become an excellent writer so I can feel like I can stand on equal ground with the authors that I love and admire so much. All your help and encouragement is greatly appreciated.

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader? Let’s see… I think I’m more of a writer then anything. I also try to be as much of a cheerleader as I can be, though I tend to have a short fuse and when I’m having a bad day worst cheerleader evar… So I stay away from people when those days hit (I'm human, the sky isn't filled with rainbow's, so I eat skittles!!) As for being a beta… My beta skills, made of fail lol :P

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? That’s an easy question! I work on multiple stories since my Plotbunnies tend to get restless if I try to make them focus on only one project at a time.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? :sigh: No-ooo… It’s been so long! I’m actually just getting used to LJ so I can’t really find ‘em until they’re already over T^T (Challenges, since I'm not clear on what the other two are..?)

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? I don’t really have one? My main goal most months is to finish at least one chapter to a story I’m currently working on (I’m just now picking back up so woot-ness).

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand) ::blink blink:: Harry and Draco ;) The story is called Longing to be Found and can be found in my journal. So far I’ve gotten it up to chapter 12. It’s a Dark!Fiction and the warnings and summary can be found inside the story. So far it’s up to a 60,000+ word count (I think, but it may be a little more or a little less. I may be counting summary/disclaimer/and warnings for each chapter) and the rest is well, a secret!

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you? Hmmm… Let me think… I’m actually going through a “trying to move” thing right now so I don’t know how that’ll affect my stories (I come out with more One-Shot’s then my MAIN work ::sigh::)… Uh.. Like I explained I don’t understand LJ too well (like some of these cut’s people do –master list’s look awesome but how people do that- O.O;;.. and when someone say’s Fake-cut’s, its beyond me) So I normally I ask for help here and again in my stories when I think I’m doing something wrong. Thankfully I got LJ-cut’s down, like a pro :D Anything else you wanna know, you can ask!

imera.livejournal.com

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader?
Writer and a cheerleader

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
Single project? I have never heard of that o_O

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
Yes, as many as I can squeeze into my schedule.

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month?
My goal depends on other stuff that happen in my life, normally I can write 50 000 words if I have time, and inspiration. But let me put the bar down to 20 000.

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand)
I have so many projects and interests that I don’t know where to start. I like to try lots of new things, so I’m trying to write with many different pairings.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you?
My life can be pretty hectic at times, have a toddler, a job and a man, who I often refer to as my second child. I also craft a lot, so writing isn’t the thing I hold on to the hardest. But I can’t live without it.

My goal so far for November:

1231 / 20000 words. 6% done!

I was bored and killing time just now, when I came accross a member intro post by someone else. I was like "I never did this when I joined!! This is unacceptable." And since I'm killing time, I'm gonna do it now. Better late than never, right?

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader? All three.

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Multiple. My plot bunnies refuse to all be for the same fic at once. They like to scatter and make me frantic.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? No, not yet. Unless gifts count as exchanges? I've wrote video!fics (a fic with a fanvid as a prompt) for people before.

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? Depends on the month. I just try to shove in as many words as possible, yeah?

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand): H/D. I'm much too lazy to write any other paring at the moment; H/D is fairly easy for me to think up and imagine. Though I do have a Unrequitted!Ron for Draco fic going right now.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you? Hmm...If you want to know something, ask me. Feel free to friend. My other penname is "The Rag Doll Girl" (see my icon?), so if you see anything posted with that, you know it's me!

I have now successuflly killed five minutes of my time. *wanders off while humming*

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader? Writer and cheerleader.

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Multiple. There's always so much to be done! Whether they do get done or not is another story.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? Challenges, yes. I don't know what an exchange is and I'm still trying to understand the concept of fests.

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? I usually don't set word count goals unless I've procrastinated for a REALLY LONG TIME AND ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO GET SOMETHING DONE RIGHT NOW.

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand) Harry and Draco. And occasionally, another couple if I cross paths with the plot bunny. And there are a few story elements that I'm trying to better.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you? Ask, ask, ask. Nickname: you can call me Lily or any other variation of scarlettlilly. Whatever floats your boat. WHAT IS IN A NAME?!

magicallioness.livejournal.com

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader?
Mostly a writer and a cheerleader. I try to keep up with the flist as best I can - even though that sometimes leads to epic failure. English is not my native tongue, so even though I'm a journalis and have done my fair share of editing in Dutch, I do not feel I would be able to deliver any kind of quality in English. In fact, I'm always in dire need of beta's (because I'm a luxury kitty and I like to have more than one).

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
What's the superlative of multiple? Yeah, that many :S. I have, however, vowed many times to finish all of them at some point and I intend to keep that promise, erm.... vow.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
I'm participating in the h/d_relief fest for Japan, which means I have a fic due on June 1st (yikes!).

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month?
Far less than I would like it to be. I don't have much time to write as it is, but I also let far too many things get in between me and writing.

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand)
The h/d_relief project is obviously a secret. Other projects include h/d during the war, quidditch related fic, Draco on trial, h/c and dragons fic. I also dabble in the TR and Witchblade universe and this list is by no means exclusive. See what I mean when I say superlative of multiple? O_o

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you?
I'm currently backpacking around the Asian continent, so while I'm a slow updater on my best days, the lack of internet may force me into an even more sluggish pace sometimes. If you want, you can follow me on my travel blog.

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader? I do them all, though not so much on the beta anymore because I am terrible about my own deadlines let alone other peoples XD (But I will skim through and do what I can if a friend needs a hand)

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Um all kinds of crap, I've got three fests I am angsting/tearing-my-hair-out over at the moment. Plus I still have a wip that needs completing.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? Yes but only one of them is HD the other two are Teddy centric. *snuggles the Teddy Lupin*

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? I'd cry if I set a goal and didn't meet it, mostly I just write til I feel the project is at the best of my abilities.

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand) Love, Angst, Life in General, Children, so on and so forth.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you? I have a tendency to ALWAYS be around and at other times I go completely MIA, but I love fandom and I am always willing to dive back in head first. This place is more addictive than crack (not that I'd personally know lolol)

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? I don’t really have a goal every month... heaven knows I wouldn’t be reaching it ;)

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand) Life? The passion of amazingness between two people? Eh.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you? I love the fandom. I give everything I have to the fandom. However, when the fandom bites back—you can sure well expect me to bite right back. Anyway! Call me bleedy and allow me to glomp you and I bet we'll get along just fine ;)

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? ideally, in order to keep myself sane, I should be writing at the very least about 15k a month. . . that's not happening right now - hence the lack of sanity!

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand) some crossdressing, some twincest, some foodsmut, some hurt/comfort, some threesome, some fluff!

girlofavalon.livejournal.com

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader?
I would say I am more of an occasional writer. I haven't written at all in months, which makes me really sad. I'm trying to find motivation again - I have a burning desire to write and loads of ideas, what is lacking is the inspiration to start and carry on. Time management is also a big issue.

I am also an occasional reader, but my attention span has been rather limited lately :(

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
Multiple, but most are not H/D or even HP - it can be subject to change, though.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
I am not participating in any fests (exchange or prompt claim) this year, but I've taken up a few light pressure challenges. Again, not necessarily H/D or even HP.

4. What is your goal (word count) per month?
In fact, I should work hard to get 150K written - not necessarily online - by the end of the year; the modest claim over at GYWO (

getyourwordsout).

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand)
Too many to go into, but I've been working on a H/D slave!fic since 2009.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you?
( tl;dr info about me )

icicle33

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader?
I'm mostly a beta and a cheerleader, but I'm hoping to change that. I really want to start writing, which is why I joined this group. = )

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
Ahh...I really wish I could say that I only work on one project at a time, but that would be a big fat lie. I'm ~~somewhat~~ really scatterbrained and tend to keep coming up with new plot bunnies rather than just focusing on one story like I should. I'm not sure if it's because I get bored or that I just possess too many ideas in my head. I think I just have a short attention span because I even read 3 and 4 books at a time.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
Sadly no, even though I've had an lj account for years, I never went on it until a few months ago. I'm pretty new to the whole lj community and am still figuring things out. I didn't even know all these challenges,exchanges, and fests even existed until recently. I've been missing out on A LOT of H/D awesomeness. I would love to participate in a fest, exchange, or challenge, but I'm not sure I'm really up to that point yet. Since I'm just starting as an H/D writer, I think I need some more practice before venturing into the fests. There are always so many brilliant writers, in at least the fests I've come across so far, that I feel I would pale by comparison and would probably be embarrassed. Lol. Perhaps eventually, I will come up with the courage/motivation to participate in a fest. Either way, I'll be there to cheer everyone else on. = )

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month?
I'm a grad student and have a terrible part time job, so I haven't had much time to write so far. As soon as the semester is over though, I'll have a lot more free time. I have no idea what a reasonable wordcount goal would be...idk...5000k? Basically, as many words as I can write and not cringe at the computer screen when I reread them.

5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand)
I'm working on a few different H/D stories and my goal is to finish at least one of them. I haven't really posted anything substantial on my lj because I don't know if anybody else feels this way, but I just feel that it's so much more personal than posting on other sites like ff.net or thehexfiles. If someone reads something I wrote on one of those sites, he/she will only read it if it interests him/her and any opinions made about the story will be completely unbiased and impersonal. On lj, I just feel that your flist and others know you from the fandom. Therefore, I wouldn't want to be discouraged by friends not liking my work or even the opposite, and having people sugarcoat their opinion and telling me something is good when it really sucks. I guess I've just been too shy to post a lot of my work on lj yet, but hopefully I'll get some confidence and change that. I really do want to grow as a writer, and I think getting some creative and constructive criticism from other writers will really help me.

One of the stories I'm working on right now is a humorous fic that involves Harry keeping a journal in which he writes about his life, but mostly he just pines over Draco. Draco is completely oblivious that Harry wants him, so even though Harry tries over and over to get his attention and court him, he fails miserably every time. It's my less serious fic because all my other ones are serious and somewhat angsty. Idk how so many writers get through all those angsty fics without getting depressed themselves.

One of my other stories involves H/D in somewhat of an established relationship, but Harry refuses to acknowledge Draco as his bf(publicly) and refuses to come out of the closet. He's too afraid of being shunned by the wizarding world and his friends and family. Draco is unhappy with their current arrangement, so with Pansy and Blaise's help, they use their Slytherin cunning in order to try to change Harry's mind. Then lots of stuff happens...lol. The plot is more complicated than that I promise, but I think I've rambled enough already.

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you?
Unfortunately, I think I'm a much better beta than writer; therefore, if anyone needs anything to be betaed, even if it's short notice, let me know. I usually get stories edited right away, and I don't mind tight time constraints either. I have to edit countless boring bio papers for one of the classes I TA for, so I much rather be editing H/D fics instead.

Like I said before, I'm new to writing H/D fics, so if anyone could offer me any advice at all...it would be greatly appreciated. So far, I love the H/D and HP community on lj because even though I find it intimidating to post my own writing here, I think it's so awesome that fans can gush together over their love of H/D. I've also been impressed by how many of the writers respond to comments/reviews and are willing to talk about their stories. That definitely doesn't happen on other sites. I tend to ramble a lot...if you haven't noticed that already. I've probably bored everyone by now, so I'm going to share an amusing story that happened to me the other day to try to make up for it. Don't worry it has to do with H/D.

*One of my best friends bought me a kindle for Christmas. At first I wasn't crazy about it because I love to read actual books, but my kindle has grown on me tremendously, especially since I figured out I can read and put fanfics on it. Naturally, I'm obsessed with my kindle now and take it with me everywhere even to class. Anyway, I've been reading fics on my kindle all semester and I'm usually pretty careful to keep the text size small and to put it inside my binder, so it looks like I'm taking notes. The other day, I forgot to make the font size small and apparently this girl sitting behind me was reading over my shoulder almost the ENTIRE class period. I didn't really know this girl because it's a large lecture hall, but after class, she corners me and asks me what book I was reading because she NEEDS...and she really emphasized needs to go out and buy it. I almost died of both embarrassment and laughter. I didn't know whether to laugh or run away. She hadn't read Harry Potter before, so she had no idea what I was talking about, which made the situation even funnier. I don't think I explained the concept of fanfiction to her too well because she just kind of ogled me and said, "I didn't know Harry Potter was gay or had sex. I thought it was a children's book series." I almost died. Then I hid behind my sunglasses and left quickly. It was just a really awkward and hilarious situation. I think I'm going to be sitting in the back row of that class from now on...lol.

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader?
Yes. :B Mostly writer, occasionally beta (when I have the time), always cheerleader (though I can sometimes be quite bad about commenting...).
2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
Multiple. Lots and lots. And lots.
3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
I've just done canon fest and nextgen fest, currently working on my glompfest entry (<3). Other than that I just have lots of old, dusty WIPs. Poor little guys sitting around all unloved....
4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month?
Hmm...I hadn't thought of one. Of course, it won't be put into effect until after finals, but in two weeks I may start out with 5k per month and see where that gets me. :D
5. What are your project(s) about? (If it's a secret, we understand)
Glompfest is uber mega secret! :x As for my WIPs, I'm currently focussing all my energy on a chaptered post-war AU fic in which the wizarding world turns on Harry in the absence of a uniting threat, and he must rely on biographer!Draco to get him out of trouble. 8D In between this I'm ~~halfheartedly~~ studying for finals.
6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you?
Well, I'm old to the fandom but new(ish) to LJ (want to be friends??) and I have little to show for my years of devotion to H/D because I'm such a horrible, terrible procrastinator. :/ I'm addicted to fests because, with a deadline and someone waiting on me, I always finish what I set out to do. I'm pretty chatty as well, so watch your comments if you don't want to have to read a novel-length reply. :))) Also, I'm totally intimidated by all of you with looong masterlists, hundreds of friends, and more comments than skin cells. Yeah, you know who you are.

Current Mood: amused

1. Are you a writer, beta or cheerleader? All three!

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Multiple! I'm always working on 1-5 or more fics simultaneously, and I have a huge folder with 30+ plots. Won't run out of stories to write for years, I imagine.

3. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? Right now, there's one fest -

nextgendarkfest - and because of RL busy times, that will be the only one for 2011, I think.

4. What is your goal (wordcount) per month? Anything I can get. I have months when I can't write at all, and days when I go up to 10k, so...I can't make predictions.

5. What are your project(s) about?
Let's see.
a) Secret

nextgendarkfest fic.
b) Ficlet for

kitty_fic involving H/D having sex in the cupboard under the stairs.
c) Various drabbles for the guys from the chatzy chat.
d) For I Have Sworn Thee Fair - A fic about extremely!insane!Bellatrix beginning to hear voices as a kid.
e) His Master's Mark - A drabble series about Draco/Crouch Jr
* And much more . . .

6. Is there anything else you want us to know about you? I'm a teddy bear. Snape's teddy bear, to be precise. This is the reason why I write mostly angst and h/c, and a lot about Snape, obviously.

Current Mood: okay
