magnetic_poleFirst off, I'm so charmed I have to mention this here: through ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

werewolfsfan has won some R/S art from rosivan, who illustrated a scene from my "The Year of Cold Feet." (Sirius smiles, Remus blushes, thoroughly work-safe.) Go leave some love for rosivan! She captures a fleeting moment beautifully.
Second,halfamoon is celebrating women characters in fandom for the first two weeks in February with fic, meta, picspam, etc.--check it out! I added a Nymphadora Tonks thread to the The Unpopular Women Love Post, a thread which is...probably not squeeful enough for the purposes of the post. *sigh* (My reservations probably deserve some meta of their own, but I'm not sure squee is going to address some of the gender disparities we see here in fandom. Still, it's a start.) Ginny is also represented--anyone want to leave some love for Molly Weasley?
And finally: you can (and should!) sign up forhp_beholder, the annual exchange for overlooked and under-appreciated characters, here through Friday, February 5. This is one of my favorite fandom activities, a fest celebrating characters who happen not to be young, beautiful, or popular. Bonus plus: some of the best quality writing to be found in this fandom. See the general info post for more information about the exchange.
ETA: Anyone know how I can make my LJ icons match up with LJ users and communities, DW and IJ icons with the same?
