April Fools! (except not really)

::cough cough::
"Internets? Is that yooou?"
So, yeah, no idea how it got to be two months since my last update. Or, rather, I have a very good idea: I've been writing like a fiend, but only for legal reasons. Like, the watersports treatise I recently wrote? No fun at all, and not just because I'm allergic to anything remotely non-vanilla; it's because writing or reading about the medical/legal usefulness of urine samples is duller than watching paint dry.
Anyway.
* Um, in case anyone thought I was serious: taking down the ficlet had nothing whatsoever to do with response. I had just written it as part of a larger story, then decided the larger story would never be finished so I posted it as a stand-alone, then suddenly got inspired to finish the larger story it was part of, took the ficlet down because it was supposed to be part of a larger whole... only to realize, much later, that the ficlet didn't really fit any more. Response was fine; I'm just a twit.

- So, April 1. No, I'm not dusting off this lj just to post on it and say "Hey, I'm back!" only to disappear again tomorrow as an April Fool's joke. I'm posting because there's a fest I'm actually involved in this year, and it starts posting today. It's the April Fools Fest, dedicated to encouraging writers and artists to make fools of themselves by creating outside their comfort zones. My last year's effort was this, and trust me, this one's is far
sillierum… foolisher ;)
Note: This link goes to nowhere right now. It will point to the first fest post when it goes up. - Also, as it's George and Fred Weasley's birthday (George turning thirty-three and Fred... um, not), I'm reposting a link to April Fool's, a George Weasley-centric ficlet that I wrote a while back, and then took down, and then reposted. No, I'm not an emo-laden writer who gets all kerfuffled and does a Goodbye Cruel Internets and takes down all her fics when reader response is not what she wanted; I just play one on TV ;) *
And here's another ficlet, same theme, different feel, not by me: Lest We Forget, by Farmgirl
Summary: You're never too old for a heart-to-heart talk with your mum. - Oh, and!
And and and!
So excited about this year's H/D Remix! Have not read most of the fics, but the buzz I saw going around says they're totally fantastic. Must track some down. Help, anyone? I've tabbed a few of the ones most buzzed about, but in case there's anything anyone's thinking must not be missed, could you link me to it? Please? ::bats eyes winningly:: - The new trailer for Deathly Hallows Part II: does anyone know where there might be screencaps of it? Does anyone have a link to the trailer itself?
- Lastly: any Criminal Minds fans on my flist? Does anyone know where one can go to find good Criminal Minds fanfic? Slash or het, doesn't matter, I'm just rather leery of going back to the Pit Of Voles. Last time I searched… let's just say it wasn't pretty 80
