then there are blackbirds

And really, really tired. Two bus rides in one day are draining, even if they were relatively short.

I know I promised y'all Minimerlin crime-scene updates, but I just could not swallow paying for hotel internet access after I had free wifi on my public transportation. I also failed on camera duty, but in my defense, 70s Fahrenheit weather, epic booze and hilarity, and collective fangirl glee makes a lot of distraction!

Things what happened this weekend, an incomplete list:
- two-part vid show of EPIC! (such_heights, I may or may not have made some very embarrassing squeaking noises at yours &hearts)
- booze
- hilarity
- booze and hilarity
- very loud public discussions of fandom, slash, embarrassing family/friend discoveries of gay porn on computer screens, and origami penises
- a certain discussion (of pain and hilarity and PAIN, DID I MENTION THE PAIN?) of Things That Are Not Lube
- a certain beaver quote that I cannot actually type because I am still busting a gut
- drunken porn-readings, complete with author DVD-style commentary BY A CERTAIN SOMEONE I AM NOT NAMING :D &hearts

In short, AWESOME FANGIRLS ARE AWESOME; also, all hail puckling and ras_elased for being amazing Queens of the Con. &hearts

-- ETA:
1. REEEEEMIX! \o/
2. epic spoilery glorious Saving Face picspam by ciderpress = I AM SO FLAILY RIGHT NOW, Y'ALL DON'T EVEN KNOW. And for the record, I had a VERY FLAILY WEEKEND.

Some quick notes, since I'm supposed to be haring off to do things in a bit:

- rs_small_gifts signups are open! :D Yeah, Remus/Sirius folks, I'm looking at you.

- I forgot to say that I'm doing choc_fic's 100 Days of Color! Saving Face (because this is apparently the Year of Pimpage for me), February 8th. \o/

- camelot_fleet party post is open for business!

- The deadline for submissions for the 4th Asian Women Blog Carnival is coming up! NOVEMBER 1st is... next weekend, omg. Where did October go??

is what i'm feeling today. *g* i have plans with Broadway-obsessed friend to try for the Avenue Q lotto in a few hours, and i've just finished The Sea Refuses No River, a Koumyou/Ukoku 7thnight_smut fic by rroselavy (which was kindly recced to me by whymzycal). INSTA-REC, GUYS; it's lovely and serene and glorious! &hearts

... less positive is the fact that my beta-functions are stalling. D: *shakes fists at brain* will have another go at this draft after i've brewed myself tea! (though tbh i'll be satisfied if it helps me keep away whatever disease is scratching at the edges of my body right now, ugh.)

ETA: camelot_fleet party post is up! :D :D :D I SEE WHAT I WILL BE DOING UNTIL LOTTO TIME.

+ have just emerged from 7thnight_smut. OMG, so much great Saiyuki fic! there were a couple of scenarios that... bugged me, but for the most part i loved them to bits! :D i have not read outside my (39/58) pairings, but if there's something REALLY SHINY that you guys think i would like, please let me know. i'll post my own favorites at... some future point. ... yeah, no, screw that. ( favorites! [now edited post-author reveals] )

+ springkink Round VIII is gearing up; leave your prompts here! i am to sit on my hands this time around, JUST FOR THE RECORD; if i attempt to snatch a prompt, please to knock the crazy out of me with Internet Sticks. :P

+ i know you have seen the trailer 27091340945509468 times, so i will spare your flists, but: MERLIN S2. MY FLAILY EXCITEMENT CANNOT BE TEXTUALLY RENDERED. MULTISHIPPER FANGASM PARTY, CAN WE HAVE ONE? RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW? OMG. *\o/*

because i am hoping to distract myself out of Block, here are the results of the pretty i was babbling about last night:

( now with bonus colorization! )

er. as you guys may or may not have realized from the above, i have kind of an unhealthy adoration for Colin's doof-ears, heh. i still stand by their cuteness! &hearts :D
