Ode to Fandom

I'm in a ridiculously good mood this morning, for no discernible reason. So let me take a moment to tell you all how much I appreciate you!

( Ten Reasons Fandom Rocks )

ETA: And how cool is it that we have TWO wonderful holiday slash fic exchanges happening in HP this year? You know, the Star Wars fandom really needs something like that. *ponders*

Hmmm...

Anyone want to write me a Draco/Hand of Glory drabble? *waggles eyebrows* (Edit: That's write FOR me, btw. There was confusion, apparently. And check out the icon, stolen from painless_j!)

Salvation Army truck, where ARE you??? I need to go to work this afternoon... ETA: Thank you. Finally.

ETA: ishafel wrote me Dobby/Lucius sentence porn!!! Yes, I'm in an odd mood. :-P

Oh, and here's another: phaballa wrote me Harry/Remus -- but it's more a drabble. :-D

ETA 2: All right, let's make it an official challenge, before I have to resort to ficsturbation: I challenge anyone reading this to write a Draco/Hand of Glory drabble or ficlet. Prizes may be involved. :-)

SW comm

Some of you will see this and think, another Star Wars prequels fic LJ community? I'm excited about this one though, as it's likely to be populated by lots of current and former MAers: temple_gardens. Like the mailing list, only on LJ. :-)

And when the fandom wants a slow burn...

Honorable Mention Smut Fics

As promised, here are the Honorable Mention nominations from the Smut Fic Survey. Even though I requested people nominate short fics, there were a significant number of nominations that exceeded the 5000 word limit. Some of the people who submitted them acknowledged that they were too long and begged me to mention them anyway, while others perhaps didn't know they'd contributed something twice as long as what I'd requested!

I decided to list all the ones that were less than 10,000 words, because hey -- the more smut, the better. I know this is bound to piss some people off, because they followed the rules and didn't nominate certain fics that probably deserve mention. If you have any such fics in mind, feel free to link to them in comments.
