And the award goes to...
May. 22nd, 2004 02:19 amso i have now broken into the realm of total dorktitude: I had a fannish dream. It wasn't as bad as some of you have had, but here's what happened:
I had caved and decided to go to the NYC thing, but it turned out to be like one of those awards shows, with the red carpets and everything. And all my BNFs were getting out of limos in evening gowns, I definately saw
icarusancalion, and
casira, and
ivyblossom, and
florahart and
ficbymarks came as a couple (marks, you were wearing the tuxedo), and the whole time
mctabby was the joan-rivers-esque news reporter, and she was doing Summary Executions of people's outfits. Then inside,
copperbadge was the celebrity host, assisted occasionally by
villainny. They did random awards like "best kink" (leather collars) and "best pairing" (snarry won, which i was upset about), and then they awarded
musesfool the lifetime achievement award for her work on Remix, and they showed one of those sappy montages, with the swelling, epic music, of victoria coding the site.
Wondering where
sociofemme and I were? We were the musical guest, doing a special performance of "Grimmauld Place Tango", and elton john was the guest accompaniest (isn't he always?!).
And I managed all of this without having any idea what most of you look like! I swear I'm not making any of this up.
(ps--Victoria, are you reading Laocoon's children? I CRACKED UP when i got to Snape's line about Arthur Weasley and Prophylactics!)

Now -- given the nature of the place, is "Grimmauld Place Tango" anything like "The Masochism Tango"? Just wondering. ;) (heh. And I'm getting this terribly scary image of Kreacher with a rose clenched between his teeth.....)

Here's the link, if you want it: right click me, baby! (http://edisk.fandm.edu/~ssprunk/grimmauldplacetango.mp3)
I'm not sure how long that will be an active link, cause eventually my college will kick me off their server for graduating, but enjoy it while you can.

Date: 2004-05-22 06:19 am (UTC)I have dreams about net people I've never seen, sometimes, and it's always sort of a vague body-shape and the /knowledge/ of who the person is, was yours like that?
I've long wanted to write a fic about Remus handing a condom to Arthur and embarrasedly whispering instructions...

Date: 2004-05-22 09:20 am (UTC)Well, I know what ellen and victoria look like, and I've seen that Wizard icon of you. Most people were a little vague, but then a lot of them looked like their icons, like Ivy has that anime-ish person all the time, and Flora looked like a female version of all those andro-potter icons she has. Which is really funny, cause then Marks looked a little like Draco.
*snerk* that would be hilarious, especially because at the point where Arthur needed one, he'd be about seventeen, and Remus would be like twelve. Of course, twenty-five-year-old Remus doing the same thing to thirty-year-old Arthur really is just as funny.

Did *I* get a cummerbund and all? And I looked like Draco?! Well, I am a blonde, so I suppose that's fair, but I'm really more Luna-y than anything. And, ooh, what color were my things?
Flora was a lovely date, I'm sure. We totally had hot sex in the limo beforehand, too, I bet! Hee.

Date: 2004-05-22 09:28 pm (UTC)yup, you were cummerbunded, but you had one of those trendy new tuxedos with the buttony collars that don't need ties (mandarin? is that right?). You're stuff was slytheriny too, because of the draco-ish thing. That was really Flora's fault, because she was hardcore harry, and obviously harry is escorted by draco.
haha, i thought i detected a hint of freshly fucked hotness about the two of you!

Date: 2004-05-22 10:03 pm (UTC)As to the limo-sex, SLANDER! She knows as well as I do tha the limo was but the last part of our long, long day of debauchery and passion. ;)
She also says now I oughtta change my journal name to Hardcore Harry. I said, that's fitting, as your name is from parselsmut. Hee.

Date: 2004-05-23 11:27 am (UTC)There was a hostage situation in the hotel I was staying in, so I had to threaten terror and destruction via telephone to All Behind The Scenes if anything went wrong. Otherwise I wouldn't resist an opportunity to invade your brain.

Date: 2004-05-22 01:39 pm (UTC)too loud. very unseemly
Ahem.
I still think you need to write fic where Sirius is Velma Kelly and Bellatrix is Roxie Hart. And either Crouch or Fudge as Mama Morton.
