It was hot. Very hot... (Of Lumos, Slash, and Crackfic.)

Hello loves! I'm back from Lumos! For those of you who weren't paying attention, I just spent a week in Las Vegas, for the 2006 Harry Potter convention, Lumos. It was AWESOME. My god, it was awesome. The resort was awesome. The slashers were awesome (but we knew that). The panels were awesome. The crackfic was awesome. Just LOVED it.

I'd start a shout-out right now to all the people I met (and got to see again), but I think it would take all night to list them. So, a quick mix of real names, screen names, and nicknames - Kriken, Emmagrant, Geoviki, Kayla, Stephanie, Beth, Meghan, Alax, Mare, The Queen of the Badger Bitches, our purple friend Violet (*wink!*), Furiosity, Anneke, coffeejunki, taradiane, Myra, Slughorn, Australian Snape, Logospilgrim, Gypsy, Genii... okay, I'm cutting it off right there because my brain is mush, and I can't remember anyone else by name right now. I know, it's awful. But it's something like 100 degrees here right now, and HUMID, and the air conditioner I bought is too fucking big, and requires tools I don't have. The fucker from Sears... if I could get my hands around his scrawney little neck right now...

*cough*

Okay, for those of you who were at the Crackfic panel, I think there was a standing request for me to post the BNF Deathmatch Crackfic that I scribbled down and read aloud at the end of the panel. Well, I lost the fic. It was tucked into my yearbook, and I lost my yearbook. But, alas, I think I remember enough to revise, and make it even better. So, by popular request:
