(no subject)

i poked around at hp_journos this morning, after hearing about it for the first time yesterday. i am tempted to rant a little. but i'm not sure that would be productive. i'm flattered to be on anyone's list of good fic, and happy to see some friends on there too. but... maybe i'll just sum it up by saying that musesfool is not represented in the sirius/remus category. which is a perfect demonstration of how narrow and pointless these things are. and... well. i'm just not sure why you'd want to do something like that. it's all so random and happenstance. not that some of the fics there aren't great, but the best of the best fics and art in Harry Potter fandom on LJ in 2004? who could presume to be that thorough? it's just not realistic. and it makes some people feel crappy.

today will be a fannish day of a different sort. you may not know that i am - or have been - a great gilmore girls fan. since i started having choir rehearsals on tuesday nights, i haven't been able to watch new episodes. but my girl does. and she keeps me informed. and she has become quite the hardcore fan. and so today rachael, her friend amanda and i will be making a wee pilgrimage to one of the towns where exterior scenes are shot and the town that was the original inspiration for the show. both in connecticut. maybe i'll dress in tight jeans and heels, brush out my hair and carry a funky purse in lorelai's honor. ooh! maybe there will be a scruffily attractive, grumpy but good-hearted diner owner to pour me some coffee. you think?
