It's okay, I've done it before.

It seems like every day I've been gifted with a beautiful card, a lovely piece of art, warm friendship, and hawt fic.

Today is no exception :) I've just received the most fun, smexy, amazing drabble from the lovely marguerite_26.

It's time to celebrate their first Christmas together with their respective families. Only...not just yet...

Hello, as you can see, I've made it back safe and sound and then promptly got sick. I blame Justin Bieber and Draco's cock, but I don't think anyone is going to believe that...

It only takes a couple of drunk and desperate fangirls to come up with what sounds like a good idea, but it takes a whole load of sober and talented fen to pull it off. I would like to say a huge thank you to all of the people who attended Crucio 2010 either in person or in spirit who helped to make it the success it was!

So, without further ado, thank you to:

accioscar, alovelycupoftea, annephoenix, arineat, aurora_sky, being_here, citrus_lime, chthonya, cleo_jay, croatoan6000, daiseechain, delorispea, delphipsmith, dora_the_nymph, dorotea, dripping_cherry, dysonrules, elequent_toast, enchanted_jae, girlofavalon, groolover, hereticalvision, joan_waterhouse, jtsbbsps_dk, katelinmr, kabal42, kennahijja, lady_of_clunn, lazy_neutrino, littleenglolita, lkaet, leochi, lolafalola, lokifan, lotuslizzy, luciusmistress, melusinahp, moonlitdark, morettaallstar, okydoky, phoenixacid, phoenix_on_ice, r_grayjoy, reira_21, robs55, scabbyfish, scarletladyy, seraphimerising, sesheta_66, snarky_scorp, softly_sweetly, sonofdarkness, sra_danvers, thilia, treacle_tartlet, utteramusement, ville_sweet_666, vix_spes, wickedblonde, wwmrsweasleydo and anyone else I've probably forgotten in this cold-medicated state. Please tell me if I've left you off and I shall amend this list and iron my ears, post haste.

I'd also like to say a special thanks to dorotea for my lovely VK (with a leetle hint of VK/HP) drabble! And a huge thank you to delorispea whom I'm going to kill if she doesn't write more of the AS/S WITH YOUNG TOM fic which I got!!!

And wo-ho, thanks to the tattoo-designing-tastic thilia, I got this!!! *dances around coughing*



Speaking of gifts, I've been blessed with two absolutely wonderful hd_smoochfest pressies: How fantastic was it to find out that the lovely joan_waterhouse wrote my giftfic Friendly Fire??? And how wonderful was it that she told me in person before the reveals so I could hug her and fangirl her? Another huge thank-you goes to the brilliant artist citrus_lime for Got Ya!, in which she managed to draw in loads of my kinks without even knowing she was doing it! Thank you!

I wrote three drabbles for the meet-up, none of them H/D - shock horror. I even wrote one in two different languages (poorly) and then enlisted help for proofing and the the translation into the third. Anyway, here they are: Madam Hooch for the lovely joan_waterhouse, the Twins for the talented moonlitdark, and Marcus for the bonita sra_danvers. There's no warnings, as they're mostly gen, although they all got a little introspective rather than silly, and that's so not like me.

One last interesting point to the whole weekend was my flight back to London. The cockpit and cabin crew were made up of one woman and five blokes. You'll never guess what the woman was doing...*nods* yup, flying the plane! Right on!

EDT: THANK YOU so much for the lovely flowers - croatoan6000, cleo_jay, softly_sweetly, and wwmrsweasleydo!!!!

Of course, I can't finish this post without thanking the one person, without whom fandom, meet-ups, fests, and everything else in the world would be completely meaningless.

I love you tonnes, Dan cassie_black12!

We hope to see everyone (and more) for Engorgio 2011 in Cardiff. When we can sort it out:D

There be DRABBLES here. These haven't seen any part of a beta-reader (at least not the important parts), so beware.

Now, a question: Does anyone know if it's possible to put movies on DVDs which I actually OWN onto iTunes like you can with music from CDs? Have asked Wil Wheaton on Twitter, but he seems to be taking his time in responding...

I will give out the proper birthday thanks tomorrow as it would take too long to do it now and I want to play since the kids are in bed (pretending to be asleep). But as it is: THANKS TO EVERYONE!!! I love my flist!

I have put up a picture of Peter Cushing here because it's his birthday too, today (although sadly he's no longer with us). I also share my birthday with John Wayne, Isadora Duncan and Helena Bonham Carter. She's special insofar as we were born the same year as well as the same day- the same year the Beatles became big and the same year Star Trek first aired- 1966. And although it's fair to say, HBC probably has more noteriety than I do, I definitely have better hair. And eyebrows.

The picture of Peter Cushing is also a reminder of one of my first and favourite fandoms (SW), one I've loved since I was 11. I'm also a fan of Hammer Horror films and I find it amusing that they mostly starred Cushing and Christopher Lee, whose birthday is tomorrow. Can you imagine how much fun they had on the set at the end of May?

At any rate, I thought I'd celebrate my formative years with this little waltz downn memory lane.

And now the DRABBLE thing. The first five people to respond get one. Need a fandom and pairing please and any prompt if you have one. If not, don't worry.

Twenty-year-old Scorpius didn't want to be late for what was their third "date". Standing by the mirror in the hallway, he combed out his long blond hair, wondering if it were time for his fringe had a trim; he didn't want to miss seeing anything by having too much hair in his eyes.

"You look fine," said the mirror. "But don't forget your glasses."

Scorpius grumbled to himself, but placed the wireless glasses on over his grey eyes. The glasses did nothing to detract from the aristocratic features. Harry had even told him they made him look quite scholarly, which was funny, since Harry's glasses had never had that affect on him.

Scorpius had inherited his father's colouring, but his features had a softer rounder quality which were a gift of his mum's genetics. Luckily he'd also inherited her sense of fun, as he was pretty sure his father would never had considered a visit to a Muggle fun fair a suitable venue for a romantic encounter.

Not quite knowing what to expect, he put on his jacket and with a wink to the mirror, walked out of the door.

And the fabulous illustration...
