Friending frenzy and etc

[lesyeuxverts]

Okay, a lot of pimpage first:

1. phoenix_flies Friending Frenzy has started - hopefully it will go on through the weekend, and so hop on over and make some old friends, meet some new friends, and have fun! And please pimp it for us!

2. snarry_holidays sign ups are still open - are you sure you don't want to consider it?

3. After using up all of my willpower resisting smutmas and harry_holidays, I caved and signed up for hpslashnotsmut. *sigh* I thought that signupitis had gone away, and I thought that I would be good, but no ... anyhow, sign-ups close today if you want to think about that, too.

4. For those of you who haven't seen this linked a thousand times already, you should check it out! It really is hilarious!

5. And let me leave you with a rec before I dash off to get some things done this morning: magnetic_pole's "Don't Look Back in Anger" series. It starts here and she's posted four parts of ten so far. It's brilliant, an absolute must-read if you love Snape! It starts with a fabulous hook: "There was only one way to enter the headmaster's office: head held high, wand poised, ready to strike." and continues in that brilliant vein. Such an amazing look at Snape's character ... you really must go read it and tell her to post the next part before I go crazy. :D

6. Oh, and before I actually leave you, a gentle poke to my flist - I think I'll be finishing up a couple of things this weekend, if all goes as planned, and might need some beta help. They aren't my usual pairings, so I can't exactly ask my usual Snarry betas ... but if you've some spare time on your hands and are willing to read outside the OTP, maybe you could help me? *puppy dog eyes*

Okay, that's really it now! *hugs*

Thanks for the rec. I checked out magnetic_pole's series and was completely floored. It's wonderful.

Isn't that just completely amazing?

Yes it is. Her characterizations are excellent and I love the benevolent malice that she gives to Albus. I'm sure that's not the term I'm looking for, but it's the one that fits best. I can't wait to read more of it.

Sure, I'd love to beta. Is there anything specific in mind you're looking for? My email is bridgetmckennitt [at] yahoo [dot] com. :)

Yay! I'm actually almost-not-quite done with a Drarry ... not my usual pairing, but well ...

and I've got a few k left on a gen fic, mostly Harry and Hagrid, DH-compliant.

I'd love it if you could help out with either one! :D

I can beta both. :)

Oh! Awesome, thank you so much! :)
