Read my Mind )
smirking_muse: (Default)
Well, the last story was posted yesterday morning! I'm sad that it's over, but it's been a fantastic journey- there's such an incredible collection of high quality fiction and art- it's wonderful. I'm sorry I haven't been very active during the cup with recs and whatnot, but I'm ever so close to losing sanity. I mean, last week, I got a GI bug so badly, I ended up admitted on an IV drip and getting some shots and bloodwork. Bugs shouldn't be that bad- I put it down to my weakened immune system (can't really fix mine) and stress- in another week or so, things should be calming down and then I can breathe!

EWE's last pieces! )

Make sure you read all the entries in the cup and get your vote in (if you aren't on a team)!  Go EWE!

Lucky Day!

Today is your lucky day! Alright, maybe not as such, but my story has been posted at [livejournal.com profile] hd_worldcup . It's called Read my Mind and is meant to be ridiculously funny (I'll let you decide if it accomplished this task- I wrote it on little sleep and illness, so I cracked myself up more than it might do for you). Please read, vote, and let me know what you think (comments are love)!

Now, I need to also catch you up on Team EWE's wonderful entries. [livejournal.com profile] katerina_black drew a beautiful picture of our boys kissing (the colours are gorgeous). [livejournal.com profile] _aurora_sky_ drew a lovely piece that intertwined stories and leaves you with a lovely, heart-warming feeling. [livejournal.com profile] mayflo illustrated perfectly a story that fits with the music she chose so perfectly in her piece.

As for the writing since I last posted, well, there's a lot of great entries. [livejournal.com profile] aoifene wrote a story that provides a lot of angst- and happiness! It's really fantastic. [livejournal.com profile] ebilgatoloco also had an interesting piece that showed their transition from enemies to something more very well. [livejournal.com profile] abusing_sarcasm wrote a very cute and happy story, although poor Draco had to deal with her funnily obnoxious Harry.

[livejournal.com profile] allopen wrote the MOST amazing and incredible story EVER! Seriously, it gave me chills. If you haven't read it already, rush to do so now. [livejournal.com profile] supergreak wrote a cute story that gives us glimpses into our boys long and happy lives together- very lovely.[livejournal.com profile] el_em_en_oh_pee wrote a very thought provoking piece in an interesting style- it is very well done and flows perfectly. [livejournal.com profile] rockerchica826 used her prompt fantastically to write a hilarious look into what would happen if house elves were all liberated- don't miss this one! You'll regret it if you do! And finally, on Tuesday, [livejournal.com profile] dripping_cherry wrote a cute story that was incredibly clever and so very cute! You won't be disappointed.

So I will post some more in the next couple days, but I wanted to make sure you all knew that my story was out and about all the great posts EWE has had since my last summary post!

Things have gotten absolutely insane for me recently, what with Palm Sunday this past weekend, and friends having crazy schemes they feel the need to drag me along with (not to mention exams and lab work)!

I'd like to encourage everyone to vote- voting is purely for watchers (and here's your super-important role as a watcher... you get to decide which team wins)! It doesn't take very long, and the works are all so fabulous, you'll enjoy them- really! I'd also recommend leaving comments for the stories you enjoy, as comments are love (who could deny anyone some love)?

Especially, please, read/look at the works for TEAM EWE!! Our team has put out a variety of showings so far, and I think that no matter what kinds of stories you like, you can find one or more to fit your tastes. EWE's fabulous art posted so far )

...and EWE's terrific fiction so far )

pieces from other teams )

I can't wait to see what else is posted.  EVerything has just been so absolutely amazing so far!
