Thank you so much (and much, much too late)

for the lovely snowflakes!

I hope you have lovely holidays and a wonderful time!

Can't but share this, because it's just so fucking brilliant:

Federal elections in Germany, and the result is that the chancellor is again Ms Merkel, and if they stick to the time-honoured tradition of making the party leader of their coalition partner the new minister for foreign affairs, then the post will go to Mr Westerwelle.

Read: Germany's two most high-profile political leaders will be a woman (again) and an openly gay minister for foreign affairs.

Ah, progress, how I cherish thee! :D



Apart from that:

How are you all doing?

/copious colon use

Oh, and WORD! Although as someone who owned and used a Mac for three years I've got to add that the OS is *not* better, it's just as annoying as windows, only in different ways.

Here (and a few clicks later) is why remeciel is fantastic. :D

Here a quick poll, probably the 1001^st of this kind to be posted.


Poll #1020589 Sectus attendance
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 10

Will you be at Sectus next week?

I shall be there. :D
More on what I've been doing since February soonish.

First and foremost (and horribly late), advertising the fantastic remix that magnetic_pole wrote out of a drabble I posted a year ago. I wouldn't have guessed the author in a million years, because the cast of characters is very different from the one that Maggie usually has, and to be very honest, it had me blink in confusion when I first looked at the summary. :D
It's a circular story, told from Winky's, Barty's, Lucius', Bella's, Narcissa's, Regulus' and Barty's (again) point of view, relating the events during and following a society gathering at Grimmauld Place.
Read about how Barty Crouch jr is initiated to the Death Eater circle:

The Grimmauld Place Irregulars (The Fine, Upstanding Families Remix), PG

*prods you* Now, go off and read.




Plus, archiving my own remix from April.

Reme, it arrived! Finally! Thank you so much, this is absolutely delightful! :D *hugs*

Just got two more cards out of my mailbox, yayes!

One from lyras, thank you sweetie. I'm very hoping for the same. :)

And the other, well, the two others really, from spessartine. Thank you so much, darling. Everything's entirely mutual, of course, and Gideon is grinning widely while making himself a cup of tea. :D

*squishes* and ♥

Just received another Christmas card, thank you so much moondagny!

Plus, because it's now unlocked and all of you who haven't seen it yet absolutely need to go and read it:

Bodies of Water by the lovely spessartine

It is hex_files inspired, so it features yet another rarepair (Augustus Rookwood/Gideon Prewett in this case) that the world probably doesn't need, only the two of them are so lovely... *sighs* ♥

Happy birthday, dear!
*HUGS*

Eep, this fic was eaten by my USB stick! I hope the rewritten version is as good as the original one, and hopefully without too many typos.
