Warning: Tentacles

LOL. Seriously, I understand. That banner (and the two other versions) were so popular three years ago when we first ran this fest that there were fic written just based on them. :D

Possibly one of my favourite art in fandom.

*sigh* I miss that artists like man. :((((

From:

HELL.

TO THE.

YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

From:

WOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

Got your prompts ready? DO YOU???

I think we all need some inspiration. :D

From:

Actually, narrowing down the prompts is the tough part... XD

(crab hunting?)

(chicken carving - very important job)

(I have a soft spot for window washers)

DOG SURFING INSTRUCTOR. DOG. SURFING. INSTRUCTOR.

Yanno what, if anyone needs prompts, just send them to me. I have to stop now before I hurt myself laughing. :D

From:

YOUR BRAIN!!!!

From:

IKR????

I might make a list that you can point people to...

LOL!

From:

YES!!! I know lots of people who are inspired to prompt but like the above ideas are all they need to form a prompt around, you know?

From:

HAHAHA Will do. :D :D

From:

Maybe we can have Draco's career = Dyson's Brain. It's very meta and sci-fi, with a hint of MATRIX feel.

(Actually, it would be awfully fun for someone's career to be... mmm, let's call it a mind-whisperer. With Legilimency and Occlumency, it's not even that far fetched. The voice will gently nudge / persuade other people to do otherwise involuntary bidding, base on who pays the voice behind the scenes...)

*ponders*

And Draco, to hide his mind whisperer status, can be a window washer for a day job. A la How to success in business without even trying (possibly with song and dance routines). And possibly carve peacocks for a hobby.

There. Jackpot!

From:

I started a list. :D

Bingo Caller?!!!!!!!

*dies laughing*

*Huggles you and twirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrls....*

From:

HAHAHA Can't you just see Draco doing that while contemplating AK'ing himself?

XD

From:

Or... he will use his sexist bedroom voice.... just to figure out which old witch / wizard is deaf :D

CAREER FAIR FTFW *g*

From:

YAY!!!

hey, btw... how's your Merlin BB coming along? is that still happening?

From:

Wow, this is one of the few fests I was actually around for (and remember) from last year! So I guess I've now been officially lurking/stalking the HP communities for about a year now...

:D

From:

hee! well.... we actually didn't run this last year so maybe 2 years??? You missed your anniversary! ;)

From:

k-nightfox.livejournal.com

OK then it's got to be the drugs messing with my head...2010...yeah, it's possible. My accident was in Sept 2009 and it was some time after that when I discovered the wonderful world of fan-fiction! Thank God for You Tube and Twitter or I never would have discovered this marvelous place we all like to spend our free time in ;-)

Not surprised I missed my anniversary, they've had me on Valium (for it's muscle relaxing properties) on and off for about 2 years and one of the stated side effects (and I can attest to suffering from it) is Anterograde amnesia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia). I lose days, sometimes even weeks and months so, yeah, I could definitely be thinking a fest 2 years ago took place last year!

Dude, it feels like yesterday that you posted about it and I thought HAHAHA THAT'S SO FAR AWAY and now I need to catch those prompt and put them down in something that resembles coherent writing. Life is tough.

Career fair tho, that's a good opportunity to get back into writing fic. :D

From:

YAY!!! That would be awesome. I hope it inspires you to prompt and write. :D

From:

renrenren3

I'm going to prompt for sure, the only problem is what since I have 6 prompts written already, I am excite!

From:

lordhellebore

Yay!

I'm curious, why do you not use the

hd_career_fair community again?

From:

well... it's a bit of a long story.

We started with

hd_career_fair because we were only planning on doing one year (while HD_inspired took a year off) then hd_inspired decided they weren't returning so we were going to keep going, but we couldn't use the 'career fair' name while 'career fair' wasn't our theme any more.

so we created

hd_fan_fair as a 'catch all' that we would use for every theme from then on (so we wouldn't be creating a new comm every year).

Going BACK to

hd_career_fair for just this year seemed like it would just add confusion.

tl;dr. :D
