• So I've aways thought Americans and British people were pretty similar in our media tastes, that is until I saw this article about British TV shows. WTF, guys?
  
  
• Although I guess we can be a bit weird, too. ;)
  
  
• Speaking of odd, some people have charmed lives. Yikes!

• If you ever get caught in an avalanche? Here's the tech you apparently need to survive. Holy fuck, bro indeed. :)
  
  
• Those Chevy focus group commercials are okay (average, I'd say), but I must admit, this Lego one is pretty clever *g*
  
  
• Seen on Facebook by my husband, who quickly sent it to me because he thought it ~relevant to my intersts. Someone reading HP porn. All I could think was...I wonder if anyone I know wrote that? :P
  
  
• So you know how that crotch grabbing thing the president elect said was all "locker room talk"? Well, apparently he needs to explain what that means to his followers. Ugh.

I don't know about you guys, but I plan to take the next 4 years one day at a time, it's my way of coping (that and drinking), so may we all manage to keep it together, remain vigilant, love each other, and remember, LOVE TRUMPS HATE. <3

Erised Reveals!

I have more reveals, this time for hd_erised!
Yes, I know they have been up for a while, but my personal rule is that I never repost fest fic before replying to all the comments (it keeps me honest).
It took me a while, but now that I have done so, I can claim the story I wrote for xerised (yay for new friends!) called Charmed Confections (you can also read it on AO3 if you like).

And, hilariously, she wrote the delightfully sweet story (literally sweet since it featured chocolatier!Draco and baker!Harry) Candyman for me! Crafty Erised mods are crafty. ;)

I especially wanted to do this fest this year since last year I had to drop (which I hated doing, but chemo, I discovered, is not conducive to writing or even thinking), and so that may have been why I poured everything into my story this year.

I'm way behind in reading the rest of the Erised fics, but I'm planning to get through them some day. Hopefully before the 2017 Erised fest starts, but you never know.

Anyway, what I have read and seen so far is fabulous, so get on over there are do some catching up if, like me, you're behind. :)

Thank you, Erised mods, you all rock! And thanks to all the participants and commenters, you'e wonderful. <3
