That is: I'm throwing one, in honor of the fact that yesterday, January 13th, marks three years since I made my introductory post on the Board. Come party with me! And do let me know how many of you have snow around; I'm curious about how widespread this part of winter is right now.

...for that matter: who are all of you? I've been around, but busy enough not to have greeted every newbie who's shown up over the past...er, half a year? More? Less? Come say hi, and have belated newbie gifts! *marshals stock of Swiss Bleepolate and assorted Gummyblees* As to everyone I know from farther back--how are you all? Come take some NM&NMs if you want them!

By way of gifts to everyone who's into Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, LotR, Tamora Pierce's work, Doctor Who, Ender's Game, Avengers/Agents of SHIELD, um, half a dozen other fandoms including Disney and Teen Wolf...this author is my latest recommendation. She's ink-splotch on Tumblr (the link I just gave), dirgewithoutmusic on AO3, and E. Jade Lomax for her original work. She's written the most amazing Harry Potter fics, something about Susan Pevensie and Eowyn that was just wonderful, some awesome Emelan and Tortall stories, and I don't even know what else, because I've only read a fraction of her work so far. Her original work (something about a school for heroes--not superheroes, fairy tale type heroes) is very highly praised, though I haven't read it yet, and is available as free ebooks or not free physical books.

Essentially--her work is amazing, and I highly recommend her. She does a lot of AUs and some canon-friendly things as well; her Harry Potter AUs are just incredible. Her what if Harry had been a squib AU was the first one I saw, followed by what if the Dursleys refused to take Harry in and he was raised at Hogwarts, which is chock-full of fluff and feels and everything good. Check her out! and join me and the RL friend who introduced me to her work in trying not to read more and more of her fics while needing sleep and to focus on schoolwork

Well. Anyhow. Here's to three years, and many more to come! *throws confetti* *looks around for Supernatural fans*

PS: Speaking of SPN--I have such a rant for the more recent developments of it, because THAT MAKES NO SENSE, but I am told the writers actually, seriously wrote it and and and...yeah, no. Nope. So much nope. And not in a good way.
