    The State of Clank and Chains
    Thinky Thoughts: [info]bethbethbeth has a great post here about ways to make Snarry more welcoming to newer fans coming into the ship or the fandom. I love her ideas on mentoring and having a comm for newbies to go to.

    Conventions: Azkatraz! I had a great time! What? You expected a con report? I survived my panel, though next year I would really, really like someone else to suggest some Snarry panel topics!

    Because I was away so long, I gave myself LJ and IJ reading amnesty. If there’s something you think I should see, please link me or point me?

    Art The coolest thing about the con, for me, was the drabble/drawble table, not just for the great artists who drew (nearly) any request, but because it was a great place to hang out and talk to people waiting for art. I got artwork from Tripperfunster, Andreanna (who also put artwork into the Snarry meet-up that I snagged), Zephre Jin Fenghuang, Supes (no idea what her lj name is, but she was willing to draw Snarry!) and TBranch. *tips hat to all those artists*

    Aaaaaannnnd, I got some lovely stuff from [info]swtalmnd which she very generously scanned so I can show it off, here!

    Theater: Saw a local production of Hamlet, which is not my favorite play but worth it because every summer we have a Shakespeare festival at a transplanted Tudor manor.

    More Clank Than Chains
    Convention: Last update before Azkatraz! I think we can all agree that I am the worst con reporter in the world. Will probably tweet more than do any actual con reports—sorry, the lazy, she is a harsh mistress…

    Movie: Yeah, I couldn’t wait till the con to see Half-Blood Prince so I have a 9am ticket on Wednesday. I have to dash to work right after but it will be worth it!

    Work: Speaking of work, we had a documentary filming in our store this week. Sadly I had never heard of these guys, but it was fun to listen to fans who showed up who had.

    Visiting: Am haring off Monday to visit with [info]cruisedirector. We may or may not be watching certain Canadian actors in other projects that are not Slings and Arrows. We’ve finished the initial draft for our Snarry Games story so I daresay we’re feeling a little smug!

    The State of Clank and Chains
    Excuses, Excuses: Sorry for the lack of updates lately! My computer died and I had to replace it. And it has Windows Vista—woe! So everything that’s irritating me, I can’t tell if it’s the new computer or Vista! On the positive side, it’s smokin’ hot fast…

    Fannish News: I posted fic! *bounces* It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything that wasn’t for a fest/exchange so this was quite nervewracking for me. The Black Asphodel Here at Skyehawke, written for the Live Long N Marry auction. Also here on my journal.

    More Fannish News: I can’t believe Half Blood Prince opens next week and I’m leaving for Azkatraz in San Francisco the day after! I’m rooming with [info]rubyrosered, [info]leni_jess and [info]slashpine. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the Snarry meetup (and our panel, the State of the Snarry Ship for anyone who’s awake at that hour!) If anyone needs my cell phone number just let me know. If you’ve ever had it, it’s still the same.

    Visiting: Had the first of the summer field trips with my nephew and we went to Natural Bridge and also saw the caverns and the wax museum. If you’ve never seen the Last Supper done in lifesize wax figures with a backdrop of Jesus being crucified, well, you’ve just never lived, have you?

    Random Feel Good: This quote ) by Dan Radcliffe on Alan Rickman makes me insanely happy. I’ll just bet he’s woken up to Alan…

    Midnight Showing?
    Hey, anyone here in Richmond going to any of the midnight showings of Half Blood Prince? I have to work on the 15th but several local theaters have midnight showings on Tuesday night!

    Fic Post: The Black Asphodel, Part 1 of 5
    Tried to post this Sunday but IJ was not cooperating!

    Title: The Black Asphodel

    Author: DementorDelta

    Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter

    Rating: Adult

    Word Count: Approx 36,000

    Summary: All of England is mesmerized by that daring hero, the Black Asphodel, who risks life and fortune to spirit French wizards out of Paris during the French Revolution.

    Notes: Beta read by the marvelous [info]accioslash and by the equally marvelous [info]whitecotton. Thank you ladies for tackling this for me! This work is based on The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy and is intended, in style and plot, as a gentle homage.

    Written for the extremely patient [info]rory8 as part of the [info]livelongnmarry fundraising project. Thanks so much for your support and your patience.

    Presented in its entirety in 5 parts.

    The State of Clank and Chains
    Visiting: Attended my very first Bar Mitzvah! A joyous Mazel Tov to [info]cruisedirector's son, whom, I am reliably informed, is now a young man. With penguins.

    Social Networking: Facebook allows user names now! I've started one here, under, predictably enough, Dementor Delta. I still have one under my real name if you'd like to friend me there.

    Azkatraz: Just a little over a month away! The delightful [info]alisanne, [info]meri_oddities and I are giving a panel called The State of the Snarry Ship. Unfortunately it's scheduled for 9:30 Sunday morning, so I don't think many people will be showing up for it! So, if you're planning to attend, and you're awake at that ungodly hour, stop by and say hello!

    Art!: [info]tessisamess committed art on my behalf! She did artwork for my story, The Living Years, with yummy young Snape and hot, hot Harry!

    The Week in Delta-ness.
    Theater: Off tomorrow to see Grand Tour. Um, yes, it's in New York again, why? It's only a mumble mumblehours drive.

    Work: Has sucked less this week. I think I'm going to be able to adjust to my new schedule. I'm not crazy about it, but it has to be done. Thanks for your good wishes on my behalf!

    Hotness: Since I have not much else to report, have some Hot, Hot Disney Heroes. They always make me happy!

    Sit Down, Delta!
    Theater: Because I can't seem to go a week without seeing something, I saw 1776 at the scenic Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ. I love this show, even though I've never seen it staged till now! I wasn't crazy about John Adams but the rest of the cast more than made up for him! Hmm, well, I suppose he is obnoxious and disliked….

    Visiting And because I also can't seem to go a week without seeing [info]cruisedirector, I spent a fabulous day watching the final season of Slings and Arrows, the Paul Gross show. We were both weepy by the end but it was the best kind of weepy!

    Work: Has sucked ass this week. My key store manager is leaving, which means I'll have to take over her job so my lovely leisurely schedule is now gone. *whimper* I still have off for Azkaban but not much else…/ass sucking.

    Prithee: Capped off the week of much suckitude with a visit to Virginia Renaissance Festival. It's on the grounds of a working winery and they sell wines on site. Need I say more?

    Clanking Along!
    Snarry-a-Thon: Reveals are up! I can now confess to this, The Man Who. Thanks to everyone who commented!

    First Fandoms: No, not Star Trek, Barbie! I'd been wanting to visit this museum anyway, the Geppie Entertainment Museum in Baltimore, and the Barbie exhibit, though small was delightful. I went with fellow Barbie collector [info]cruisedirector and a friend who is still living in the 90's with no lj and no Twitter! She was very patient when Cruise and I Twittered our love for Batman's package right there in the museum…

    Local Excitement: I know Farmer's Markets are 'in' right now, but one just opened within walking distance of my house! Not very large, not yet, but wow, I hope they make it because the lure of fresh produce and baked goods and honey every weekend is just irresistible!

    Other Fannish News: The delightful [info]rhea314 did a Podcast of one of my stories! *bounces with excitement* I've never had anyone do this for me and I'm thrilled beyond belief! Her post about it is here. She podded, er pod cast my story Parseltongue-tied and it's so cool!

    More Clank and Chains
    Watching: Finished watching the first season of Slings and Arrows with [info]cruisedirector and am eagerly looking forward to the rest of them!

    Theater: Went to a lovely local production of Midsummer Night's Dream--five actors, 20 characters and I don't think we stopped laughing during the entire second half! Also had a great time in New York for this concert in NYC, despite getting lost slightly turned around in Central Park. Wow, that's one big park you guys have there…

    Fannish News: Go Team Cauldron! This year [info]cruisedirector and I are collaborating on our story for Snarry Games. Um, as soon as we figure out what that is!

    Also, thanks to everyone who's friended me over on Dreamwidth. I'm DementorDelta and I'm friending granting access and subscribing to everyone over there despite not being exactly sure what I'll be doing with the journal.

    Any more Snarry-A-Thon recs? After the first five stories no one seems to be reccing any more…

    Dorky Moments: This made me squee like the dorky, dorky Star Wars fan girl I used to be. I went to one of the Star Wars weekends at Disney Worlds back in the heyday of my fan love and these brought it all back. Good times!

    All sent, thanks!

    The State of Clank and Chains
    Visiting: Had a wonderful visit to see [info]cruisedirector this week. We had lunch and then went back to her place to watch the wonderful Slings and Arrows. It was first time viewing for both of us and we only got through 3 episodes but I think we're both hooked. And that Paul Gross guy is kinda cute…why didn't you guys tell me? … :D

    Fannish News: I succumbed to the lure of the shiny and got a Dreamwidth account. I'm DementorDelta over there too, so come find me if you'd like. No idea what sort of posting I'll be doing, but will be happy to find friends over there.

    Travel: I'm off tomorrow to see this concert in NYC. Just a short trip but much needed after working our big sale all weekend!
