Fandom meet up! :D

[katia]

Went to London today, had a fantastic time.

Got there in the morning knowing I will be meeting people but not sure of the specifics which resulted in me being all alone in Euston and ringing everyone I know that lives in London and no one picked up the phone! Well, after I panicked just a tad sparksandclocks  called and we arranged to meet at  Trafalger Square, she was stuck  in traffic so I spend my time there sitting on  a rubber band  bench thing, which was filmed by a gazillion news crews. It was bizarre. It was some special design and they filmed and filmed and filmed for like an hour, mainly this guy but random people too. (If anyone sees me on TV, hi!) Then I called rachwelian and told her all about the rubber band seat thing.

After Jodie got there we had lunch  in a really cool place, it was like this bar the served cheap lunch. It was all modern and very much a bar but a lovely place to eat nonetheless. After too short a time we had to separate, but luckily and randomly her nearest station is where I was meeting people so we got there together. (At this point I have to note that I did not get lost once, and this was my first  ever solo trip to London. I pwnd the  underground)

Then I met lazy_daze, baleheadbabe, son_of_darkness, lizardspots, seshat1, annephoenix, elanor_isolda, slytherinboyz and snakeling and looked around the Natural History museum. There were dinosaurs and a Giant Squid and too many bugs, we had so much fun also the mentality of 12 year old boys. (T Rex/Bus?) libra_lemon joined us a bit later and the we went to The Marlborough Head (I think that is what it is called, but not completely sure), a lovely themed pub which has become the fandom place to meet and had two of each seven deadly sins cocktails. There we also met with jlmatthews. It was so cool, Lizard drew Harry/Lucius/Snape and we all wrote a round robin which ended up as a H/D badfic. A lot of pictures were taken and a lot of (random) people were scared and I could write a lot more but need sleep now. It was great meeting people, such things should happen more often *moves to London* and I hope I haven't missed anyone out *counts names yet again* Ooh, we also had nametags! Yay Fandom! :D

ETA In all the excitement I forgot to mention that I have my laptop again! I even managed to get quite a few of my files, well not the music or my downloads or pretty boy pics, but everything else I have, I also have a latger hard drive and so much security. Need to start downloading things before I go to Uni, which is in two weeks exactly...scared.

XD Just stumbled across your LJ in the 'Random' search, thought it was funny to run across another HP fan on the first go, and I swear I've seen sparksandclocks around somewhere before.

Anyways, hello. XD

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

It's we are everywhere you see. *takes over world* :D

Hi! I'm Katia.

[ohforcrying.livejournal.com]

Yessss... the slasher girls are totally taking over. And we even have our own secret language...

For instance:

I was was at FF.Net looking around and came across a Snarry taco show, and it was SUCH badfic I needed to get a spork! Can we all say 'squicked!'?

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, so true, normal people would all be like: O.o um? wtf?

[ohforcrying.livejournal.com]

Precisely. Our secret language is especially useful in school settings and moderated boards like Neopets. XDD

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Oh but for a school setting you need to have others who understand it, and sadly too many people don't get the slash love, :(

:D! I like you, mind if I friend you?

[ohforcrying.livejournal.com]

Go head, I'll add you back.

XDD You don't know my friends, one of them prints out PWP slash and brings it to school. We pass it around and read it during free time.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

OMG you are so lucky! I wish I had more RL fandom friends. Who do you ship? :D

[ohforcrying.livejournal.com]

Everything.... ;D

'Kay actually Sirius/Remus and then pretty much if it's pretty, I'll read it.

My favorite ship happens to be Harry/Me. XDD But there aren't that many fics of the 'SS Hopelessly Lame' ship.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

I do too! Well, the puppies bore me, but I read pretty much everything.

And Harry/Me is pretty popular on ff.net, thought the 'me' changes a lot, sometimes in the form of princess sparkle. *gg*

[ohforcrying.livejournal.com]

Eww, Princess Sparkle is so boring. She sucks in bed, too, from what Harry says.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

It's the eyes changing colour constantly that's creepy about her, that's why Draco dumped her you see. :P

[ohforcrying.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yes, and she's just so totally plain vanilla too. Boring. But Harry says that her eyes aren't the only bits that change colors.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

I know, it's sad really, Draco practically begged her to tie him up and spank him, but she still didn't.

Ewww!

[ohforcrying.livejournal.com]

Indeed. But Harry kindly offered to tie Draco up instead.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Yes, it all started like this *points at icon*

Yay for wonderfully random conversations.

[ohforcrying.livejournal.com]

That icon. So totally rocks.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

I know, and I loves it. :D

[wildfyre.livejournal.com]

Yay for getting the laptop back!

And yes, move to London! You are going to come to the next meetup at Snape's pub, aren't you?

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Yay indeed, *clutches laptop and never lets go*

Hopefully, when will that be? By the way we should totally make a community, someone (Possibly annephoenix) came up with random_fandom and it isn't even taken!
