The plan

[simonbrind]

So here is the plan!  For certyain types of creative content am going to post here rather than ... The Other Place  ... and see if any of you can be persuaded to step away from the bright lights and randomly threaded comments sections and have a conversation here.  I'm going to talk about larp a lot, and I'll also do my very best to comment like crazy on anything you post.

So, create an account, let me know below, I'll add you to my circle and we'll go from there.

I have blown the dust off my DW account in your honour. Raitala = Charlie

I was pretty sure it was you. Is it okay if I go back and read your Fic though?

[raitala]

If you are seized by the sudden inclination to read Harry/Draco slash fiction and fan art, you may. My DW account was an untidy mirror of my LJ, backed up from time to time when it seemed 'We would all leave LJ'. It is probably easier to find my art on DeviantArt and my fic on AO3, I was raitala on both platforms. It feels like a million years ago and would probably be less embarrassing if I could claim to have been a teenager at the time, oh well.

Good. I have just read a PhD thesis on fanfic and slash, so I feel equipped to explore.

As a rule of thumb/word of warning, longer fic have more developed characters and plots (a few of mine were quite good). Short ones are more or less just smut, of negligible literary value (quite embarrassing).
