Arg, Semagic and talking out of my AS/S
So, thinking that I would like to update my journal once in a while I got Semagic, but I really want things to go out to ij as well, on principal if nothing else I tried to followthese instructions, but I just get an error message, which is highly frustrating. Also, I tried going to sleep sensibly hours ago and yet I'm still awake!
What I feel like talking about now is AS/S. Just over a year ago today little Albus Severus and Scorpius were released in the epilogue and I must say the AS/S part of fandom makes me ever greatful for that epilogue. Though I minded it less than other people did. I think it's awesome that one of the most enthusiastic and busy comms I look at regularly isthe_ass_ship. So many people would have been scornful of Harry's and Draco's sons OCs, but AS/S makes it work, baby! I'm not really interested in alternate timelines, but I still love growing up and Hogwart's era fics and I can scratch that itch with AS/S.
There are a few different characterisations, of course, but that has become one of myfavourite things about AS/S, and the next gen in general. Although I get confused if Hugo does not have a ginger wafro. It's read a few bad AS/S fics, but not many.the_ass_fest really snuck up on me as having lots of good fics, and a few nice long ones, which alwys makes me happy. While you can get all sorts of different things, there's still after a year a growing enthusiasm about AS/S.
As far as I can tell there seem to be people joining fandom if not via AS/S, but going into that part and finding their footing. This makes me so happy! And it causes writing and art and me to squee!
*takes a break to do the AS/S dance*
So, in closing, tee hee, AS/S is funny because it's like a word for bottom.
I love Harry Potter and this fandom so much it sometimes nearly hurts. At least nine years after reading the first two books and just over 5 years in HP fandom have passed for me and I'm still just so excited about it. I'm broke, yet trying to convince myself £500-600 is a sensible amount to spend to go and bask in Harry Potterness. Thisis from someone who spends time with friends met through Harry Potter at least once a week. I am crap at contributing to fandom, but god do I love it. I love all you people, even if I don't know it enough.
On a sad note, I decided I do not have the time I wish I did to devote tolife_ahead where I played Dean from the start. I do however majorly love the people there and it helped me so much cement what DH and the post DH world should be to me. Sometimes I forget bits of it aren't canon!
