TLYDF Announcement: We Welcome Two New Admins!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

TLYDF DEBUTED NEW ADMINS!!!

So, put your hands together, stomp yer feet, and give a hoot-and-halley to the fine penned, definitively discerning, and not-all-that lazy—ELLECC and HMonster4!!!!

::claps!::

A great deal has happened at this blog over the past year. Almost a year ago (short seven days), this blog had its very first post. Spearheaded by the beloved Smellyia and championed by Angstgoddess003, Angel, and Emibella, The Lazy Yet Discerning Ficster began its almost-daily dalliances with the lovely world knows as Twilight fan fiction. We've done recs, articles of writing, interviews, random crap, and much, much more, and we wanted to stop, take account, and thank our readers for staying with us each step along the way, so MWAH! And on to the introductions...

HMonster4

HMonster4 is first off, a funny and wonderful lady. On her own, she is the madly genius pen behind Deconstructing Dracula, and in conjunction with ProfMom72, she has penned Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Fates. She's a VIP author over on A Different Forest. She has also written several articles for this blog, as a columnist for the collab series and for several of the explorations. She is also one of the two sweet ladies behind the Indie TwiFic Awards, the contest completely devoted to promoting under-appreciated fan fiction—so, yes, etc. etc.—if you don't know how wonderful she is for this fandom, you must have been living under a (black) hole. Our favorite monster also has a deep love for Emmett and like him, a way of honestly and sweetly speaking her mind. She chose to be the planet Mars.

ElleCC

Besides being a Comma fundamentalist and an unabashed Jasper/Peter shipper (*P makes a happy "coo" sound*), ElleCC earns her rap as one of the nicest and generous hearts in the fandom. She regularly rolls with the other Pastiche on all things Jasper. She is the brilliant mind behind A Murmur of Fire in the Vein, on of the epic Jasper fics in the fandom. She is either a crazy green star (think really hot blue star with a metallic twist) or Jupiter (with a BIG RED HEART!).

Okay, and now because I gave them an open-ended request, instead of sending me blurbs—they sent me their chat (*snort*), so we're going chat style with the whole new admins introduce themselves to the blog:

H: So what the heck are we going to say? I'm not that interesting
Elle: I have no idea. And you're roughly 81 times more interesting than I am. 82, even.
H: Fibber, you have the whole Panera angle...how much of the fandom discovered writing at Panera thanks to you?
Elle: Oooh, that's a good question. Free wifi, endless coffee - two important writer's tools. We could probably fill a Panera with all of us. I hope the others have all discovered that if you go there enough, they give you free food!
H: And there are a lot of real life Jaspers...
Elle: So many RLJs. And RLEms, too! It's like they flock to Panera...
H: Sigh... did you out to Pastiche, AG and MW that we are shameless in our love of Jasper and Em... well, and Garrett and Peter too? They might boot us....
Elle: Um, no. It's probably best if they just discover it it later on their own...
H: Okay, so this doesn't help us with being interesting....what have you done? you write, you did a contest...
Elle: I talk about Jasper a lot. I write about Jasper a lot. I read about Jasper a lot. That's pretty much all I do. I have that collab with LVP coming up soon, and it's about Jasper, of course.... I'm not sure any of this makes me interesting.
Oh! And I like to make OTHER people write about Jasper (sans Alice), too. That's my new thing. in.a.blue.bathrobe, ThisColony, InstantKarmaGirl, YOU, among others. Is it fun? :)
H: All I can say, be careful what you wish for, you might get it back in spades my friend.
Elle: But you, you actually do interesting things! You've written AH and AU and Canon and collabs and solo stuff, and what about that ADF thing?
H: I've done AH, both on my own and with ProfMom, but I am all about the vamp these days - both AU and Canon. And I kind of having a thing for writing Emmetts...I just was invited to join ADF as a VIP author, which I was giddy about...And my baby (with my pal Gustariana) is the Indies
damn - I sound like an overachiever
Elle: You are! :)
H: I'm organized... I like my spreadsheets
Elle: Mmm spreadsheets. Who doesn't?
H: Hehe - this is making us geeky, not interesting
Elle: All of For the Love of Jasper was run with spreadsheets.
H: Case in point. Good lord, do they know what they've gotten into? We might send them crying...
Elle: But it'll be that good, cleansing sort of crying. Everyone needs that sometimes.
H: LMAO. This fandom will never be the same

Other random news... TLYDF is starting some new features:

• Drabble scrambles - We're getting authors to anonymously write drabbles, and then you get to guess whose is whose...
• A Regular One-Shot Feature
• Best Review of the Month
• Also, please note the debut of the wonderful Kassiah, who will be our regular Friday poster, bringing you the Fandom News
• Finally, interviews, recs, exploration series, and essays will continue!

So, anyway, with final words I want to say that Moon.witche, Angstgoddess, and myself are thrilled to death to have our new admins - and we hope you are, too!

Thanks again to all our readers and commenters and columnists and the fandom at-large.

You make this blog possible. :-)

**And yes, Moon.witche is Uranus, and doing this space theme made P arbitrarily very happy.
