I had the time of my life...
Oct. 11th, 2005 09:38 pmI'll have to make this short, because I'm dead tired, and I've already spent a few hours catching up with e-mail, laundry, chores, and first-aid for the plants my mother almost killed in my absence... but I MUST comment on the event that has been the best experience I've had in my life.
The Witching Hour was awesome. The people were awesome. EVERYTHING was awesome. I had the best roommates, met so many people I'd only before known by screen name, and I got to essentially be The Harry of the event. I met some of my readers, and some of my favourite authors and artists in the fandom. An incomplete list of the incredible people I met includes
emmagrant01 (who is just awesome),
wintermoon3 (who is the world's biggest sweetheart),
sherant (who is as nice as I had ever imagined),
dragon_charmer (who has the kindest smile ever, and the sweetest disposition),
naadi (who is elegant, very pretty, and just makes you want to hug her),
geoviki (who is bubbly and upbeat),
glockgal (who was a load of laughs and was kind enough not to make me feel like my art was complete crap),
sabershadowkat (who is cool and snarky and made me smile),
amanuensis1 (who is a formidable but amazingly not intimidating woman, and looked beyond awesome in her ball gown),
wcspegasus (who brought handcuffs to the H/D group! Even though she's not a shipper! SQUEEE! She's awesome!),
nmalfoy (whose fic I swear I will read now!), (shit, I'm running out of time...),
psychic_serpent (with whom I had a good laugh over a previous misunderstanding regarding the name of a house-elf, and is really a very nice person),
phoenixw,
slytherincess,
lord__voldemort (who IS Lucius),
dracomalfoy05 (who IS Draco),
thespian_geek (without whom I would have been out on the streets), and last but definitely NOT least, the rest of my amazing roommates:
presentiment,
fugitivehound ,
cetkat,
lielabell,
ztaangel2,
eruantale,
quickpixie, and
lovesfantasy... I WANNA TAKE YOU ALL HOME WITH ME! WAH! *clings*
with those. I met people I’d never before encountered online and made fast friends. Even
with some Draco/Ginny shippers! I couldn’t have been more thrilled to discover how nice
everyone was, and I all I can say is that I miss everyone so much already. EVERYONE.

I think that needs to be put on a t-shirt, or at the very least a button. Wonderful to hear that you had so much fun. I've seen some pics and you made a great Harry. Cheers!

But yes. Yay. And coherentness to come, I swear.
