Some pimping/promoting to celebrate my post-vacation hype

[my_thestral]

Hellooooo, there, darlings!
Missed me? *this is where you say yes and nod furiously and try to look sincere, LOL! Also, squeal at will... ;)* Oh, damn, it's no use, is it? I guess most of you never noticed I left, because I post so rarely - BUT - those of you who did - I'M BAAAACK!

London was glorious as always (I'll make a separate post about that) - and The Harry Potter and the Cursed Child plays are definitely a thing to see (it's just not something you can read about and dis at will because seeing it is a totally different experience than reading about it and I'll argue with you about that until we're both blue in the face *picture feisty grin on a muddy face with a few teeth missing*). I'd definitely see them again in a heartbeat if I was offered a chance! They're just bloody adorable, that's what they are! :D That Ron... seriously. *big smile* And Scorpius, the show-stealing Malfoy! So, that was my Cursed child pimping - no spoilers without a warning, just like I promised! - and now to some serious promoting/pimping business:

- Our beloved hp_nextgen_fest will be back with us shortly (well, time is kind of relative anyway, but the fest's importance can't be overstated!) - so I can't jump at the chance to promote it fast enough - I mean just look at this adorable banner - who could resist, seriousyl?!:



come join hp_nextgen_fest!

- In case you're not aware, there's a new fest open that sounds interesting if one is a lover of music - and I am - and a Potterhead - blimey, I'm that as well! So, without further ado - please check it out and I hope you feel like giving it a go:



Aaaaand I think this is it from me before I disappear into the night. I'm kind of buried in e-mails and messages at the moment, so I apologize, if I won't be able to reply to all of you very soon - but I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can. I missed the fandom and you all! :)

You're back!!!!!!! *glomps*

I had missed you so! <3333

I'm so happy you had a wonderful time and enjoyed the play! :D I'm happy to hear Ron was seriously *lol* And that Scorpius was a show-stealer!

But you're back, you're back!!!!! :D:D:D:D

I've nothing big to report, I'm afraid, just excited about NGF!!!!! NGF!!!!!! I need to start thinking of yummy, tempting prompts. :D

Iiiii, it's great to be welcomed back by the tiny flailing you - wait, I'll just go back to London and you can welcome me back again! :D
I remembered you up there - and I've got a tiny paper proof which you'll hopefully get! - because it was genuinely wonderful and at more than one spot during my HP-flavoured vacation I wish I could have shared it all with an equally enthusiastic Potter fan - and you certainly came to mind! :D
Ron was a star - he literally only had to open his mouth to have people laughing out loud, he's such a sweetheart, and Scorpius Malfoy is a total darling, it's all I'm going to say - and perhaps more in a private message if you're up to spoilers! :)
Believe it or not, I've got my next-gen already written this year, and it's pretty G-ish but I kind of had fun writing it, so I'm looking forward to reading all other entries - this is always such a brilliant fest! :)
It's good to be back! *tries to kidnap you to go to the Potter tour together*

WELCOME BACK!!!! *FLAILS* :D:D:D:D

I'm happy you thought of me (as you should! LOL) while enjoying the heaven that was all the HP fannish sites and experiences. \o/ I can't wait to get and see (you promised pictures!). *is already packing for this kidnaping*

I so happy Ron was wonderful. Oh, I'm sure he was. There's no way he wouldn't be. ;)

And really?!!? Really, written? Awesome!!! I'm thrilled to know you're ready! XD But you know, if a tempting prompt comes by, you could totally write another piece! Don't blame for being greedy, please. <3 A person can't help it. This person, that is. ^^

Weeeell, it's still a long time until November, I might yet come up with something since the entry I have now isn't all that. :) But if I see a super cute prompt or have a revelation myself - you think people would think me obnoxious if I wrote more than one story? :)

I'll try very hard to make a picture post on the weekend. I need to get photos off three different devices and make a selection - I think we made about five hundred photos at least - so I'll try my best to picture spam you into yawning! :D

[capitu]

you think people would think me obnoxious if I wrote more than one story? :)

No!

Let me try that again.

NO!!!1!!!1!!!!eleven!!!

No one is going to think that at all, dear, are you kidding? People is only going to be too happy you wrote more! (you gotta trust me on that one, yeah?)

Ohhh, selecting pictures. I feel your ~pain~ That takes time, so do take your time but I'll be waiting. :D
