Happy Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day!

Sooooo, I guess it's a Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day - have a happy one, my friends! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] vaysh for bringing it up, and to [livejournal.com profile] capitu for reminding me of it with her lovely message, when this geriatric old troll forgot!

Because I'm a terribly busy House-elf in my real-life, I probably won't be able to read all the stories I want to and express my appreciation to all your wonderful works out there, that caught my attention over the years. I can, however, mention - and thank - at least few of you, my LJ life-support team, because sometimes, when a particularly nasty day comes by, you and your stories really are my life-line.

[livejournal.com profile] bleedingangel84 - hon, you were not dealt the best of cards in life from the get-go, but you're just taking it in stride like a true hero - I guess you're as close to Harry in real-life as one gets. Thank you for taking good care of your wonderful little plot-bunnies (especially a certain ginger one!) and sharing them with us on weekly basis - it's often one of your cute stories that simply makes my morning! *shamelessly pimps for another one*

[livejournal.com profile] candamira - honey, you're as talented as they come, your Black coffee was a total knock-out and if anyone by any chance, missed that one, go on, give yourself a treat and read it, it's magical and the imagery is just...guh... I'm jealous, that's all I'm going to say (well, I am, but in a good way)! :)

[livejournal.com profile] capitu - you wonderful Toaster you! ;D You are here-by scolded rather than complimented for sharing too little of your exceptional talent with us and I strongly suspect there's a treasure under a mountain in your homeland, hiding all your collected works! Go on, you lovely kitchen appliance, make us as happy as you did Draco in The Morning After, this pearl of a story - it made me giggle like a loony and for good reasons! :) And please remain your kind, caring self, you just light up the fandom with your magic, you're practically a Lumos in a human form! ;)

[livejournal.com profile] digthewriter - you once wrote, in what I like to think of as a moment of your weakness, that you were not a good artist and a writer - and that's just the biggest injustice anyone's ever uttered about their work (I'm tempted to call this statement a load of crap, but I don't want that phrase anywhere near your work ;))! You're incredibly prolific, your pairings are various like no one else I know and you're not afraid to tackle any of it, and with wonderful results as well! I'd be terribly disappointed if I never heard from you again, that much I'm willing to say, so no more self-deprecation or I'm totally ironing your hand... or something, we, the House-elves know no better. ;)

[livejournal.com profile] lokifan - your Ron/Draco stories were among the first that introduced me to this pairing (my favourite one since) and even though I know that you like another one of your own works better, for me A Rush of Blood to the Head is always going to be an epitome of all stories steaming hot and sexy - and I've got a bookmark to prove it! :)

[livejournal.com profile] nia_kantorka - Nia, you little perfection(ist)! The vocabulary in your stories is so rich it leaves me gawping in awe every bloody time, every word is in the right place and polished until it shines in perfection! There's a small million of your stories that I loved, but Victor and Victims is the one that touched me the most, in spite, or perhaps because of, its the dark glow - oh, you know how we, the Scorpios are - we love it dark! :) Don't leave us waiting for another one for too long, darling!

[livejournal.com profile] roelliej - Roel, your love for Ron is infectious and I simply wish there were more like you out there! We're going to keep on rowing that Ron ship even long after when all the rats are gone, aren't we?! :D There's simply too many of your delicious stories with my Ronnie to point one out, so I'm going to single out to this one that has no Ron in it, but a very cute blond boy (something alike to what I have at home). :)

[livejournal.com profile] starstruck1986 - you're by far and large one of my favourite Ron/? authors. The sheer realism of your stories gives the reader that priceless "fly-on-the-wall" perspective, almost as if one was there to witness it, and to me it doesn't get much more magical than that. I just want to say - keep on writing, I couldn't pick my favourite one of yours if my life depended on it! :) All of them, perhaps? :)

[livejournal.com profile] this_bloody_cat - I read your work long before we were even LJ friends and you certainly gave the world one of my favourite Albus/Scorpius stories. But I loved this little pearl as well and I just wish you had more time to write more, more, more! :) Go on, make time, steal that time-turner (can I borrow it from time to time?) and make us happy! :)

Thanks so, so much, hon! <3

Oh, you super-lovely person, you! Your post was the best surprise ever! Thank you so much, I sit here with the widest smile you can imagine (I'm glad my ears are there to stop it) because your words make me so incredibly happy. I adore your work very very much, you know that, even your e-mails are pieces of art, always full of wit and wisdom! I really appreciate your opinion and your feedback - thanks again for spreading so much love today on Fandom Writers Appreciation Day! I started to leave comments on AO3, but didn't get far yet. *irons ears*

I'm so touched to have been included! *blush*

Thank you. You are very kind. Your enthusiasm keeps me writing.

Thank you, my dear! It made me really happy that VaV fic touched you the most. And I'm sure if we'd been Buddists, we'd reached a new incarnation level tonight, because your message came when I was writing your rec. :D

So, I saw it but I was still out in the world (mostly on AO3) leaving as many comments as I could manage during one day, browsing through my bookmarks, re-reading things (it's horribly distracting to want to read all the things just by looking at them) and trying to make many authors happy. I did succeed in a way, but there are still so many authors left I'd wanted to pay a visit.

So, yes, it has been a Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day! ♥

*blush* Thank you so much! You know I'll have to write you some more Ron/Draco for saying that, devious Slytherin that you are. lol I wouldn't have you any other way. You're absolutely wonderful, and I thank you for encouraging my plot bunnies and reading my little bits and pieces. As long as you read them, I will be writing some Ron/Draco. They are too fun to play with.

You're great yourself, you know. Thank you so much for everything. I'm so happy we are friends. :)

My God, you!!! ::hugs:: I don't even know what to say... thank you so much for this? It's just, it made me so ridiculously happy! :') Funnily enough, that 'little pearl' you mention was actually part of another Albus/Scorpius story that I never found the time to write -- it's still saved though and... well. Maybe I will, sometime? :D

Oooh!!! ♥ Well, now I'm excited! It's a pairing I love, and we haven't had any sign ups for that pairing so far, so... :DDD
