I've been composing this entry in my head for a month now.

So. I think it's clear to anyone who's actually reading my journal that I have pretty much lost interest in HP. The past month, it's been very obvious to me that I've slid away from it--I think I might have read only one fest fic this entire season. I am forgetting canon details. I have not purchased BtB.

I still have some HP fic left in me, and I still have some thoughts about it, but overall, it appears that I've switched my main fandom to Riptide.

I've been really holding off on babbling about Riptide here because I know it can sometimes be a little frustrating to scroll one's flist and see a bunch of strange names and characters. But I started thinking about how I really enjoy the Riptide fandom, and I'd like to babble about it, and so I'm giving you fair warning, flist. Not that I'm going to fill up your fpage with odes to pink helicopters and eighties fashions. But still, there will be an entry or three, behind cuts, of course.

Okay, so here's the thing. I'm leaving for my annual month-long trip to AZ on Monday. When I come back, I think I'm going to do a community trim, and get rid of the HP comms I no longer need to read. As for the flist, I plan on keeping it the same, except for maybe a trim of defunct journals or whatnot. But you? If you want to defriend me, please do. I am completely serious here. I'll be gone for a month, that should give you plenty of time to do so. If you are not interested in my babblings, especially because they are no longer HP-dominated, then please, please defriend me. I like reading everybody's journals, I enjoy the communication very much, but if you're not interested, please believe me, I will not be hurt. It isn't personal; it's just the way it goes in fandom.

Also, news that appears to be related but actually is not, I am unable to go to Azkatraz. Which upsets me so tremendously. I was really looking forward to it. However, it has come to my attention that this strange niche show that I do every two years actually coincides with Azkatraz. My luck as usual. I had forgotten to mark it on my calendar, so when I signed up for Azkatraz it wasn't on there, and I only checked to make sure that the Big Show wouldn't coincide with it. So I won't be able to attend, and I'm really bummed out about this. Seriously. I had planned on visiting with blumsmile and subrosax during and after, and I'm really unhappy that I'll be missing out on seeing everyone, especially since so many good friends will be there.

So that's the state of the fan!valis union. *hugs all*

I would love it if you stuck around! You rock. I'm so glad that people are staying with me--makes me feel warm inside.

And I'm glad that you like the Horrors. I think I'll keep those up for awhile. :)
