Tweaks and enhancements

• As a number of you reported, a service interruption impaired sending and receiving notifications for a couple of days. This was due to an avalanche of snowflake cookies. We've removed the free snowflake cookie and unclogged the pipeline. Timely notifications should resume shortly. Please note that there's a backlog in our queues, so you'll be getting earlier notifications first. For more details, check out this post at lj_maintenance.
• In anticipation of the new year, we've embarked on a self-improvement kick to boost our backend (pun semi-intended). This will allow us to offer you a holiday promotion in the next few weeks (yes, we're listening and working very hard to make it happen). We sincerely appreciate your continued patience and support.

Holiday vgifts are here!

We've added some fantastic new vgifts to help you spread holiday cheer. We also hope you'll honor AIDS Awareness Month by purchasing virtual red ribbons. Priced at $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to support the development and global distribution of an affordable HIV vaccine.

Introducing: LJLimericks

In honor of all the brilliant writers on LiveJournal, we've created a brand new community: ljlimericks! Each week, we'll enter a handful of limericks into a poll (which we'll tuck snugly under an LJ-Cut). The winning poem will be published in the following newsletter. In addition, the author will receive a virtual blue ribbon! If you have the time, come drop us a rhyme. Please keep the "Nantucket" stuff on the downlow, since this is a youth-friendly community. Our first prompt is: Insomnia in winter.

Photos of the week

We're back with more incredible images from our global photography community. Congratulations to sempre_marseeya, who has been awarded a virtual blue ribbon as the winner of our second lj_photophile poll.

Thanks, again, for joining us. Stay warm and safe out there!

HiHi. I'm new here (obviously...) but I was kindly pointed to this community by cossetex, so thanks for that!! Here are the questions, then a fic ;)


[x]How long have you been a fan?
For a good long time. It sure wasn't the first Hermione pairing to cross my mind, but once it did I was all over it.


[x]Why them?
Why not? I just love the good girl/bad guy pairings, I mean really, who doesn't? Plus all the drama that goes along with it is awesome. I've never liked Ron ith Hermione, so I read this (and others) instead.

[x]Voldemort or Tom?
Voldemort, forever and ever. Don't get me wrong, I love Tom, but Voldemort is a hell of a lot better :3 Plus, he's much older, and what's not to love? Aside from being evil and murdering whoever pisses him off more.

[x]Hermione: Good or evil?
Good, all the way. Sure, Voldemort may be able to corrupt her a teensy bit, but I think the pairing is better when the two clash, but still have that sexual tension going on.

[x]Voldemort(Tom): Good or evil?
Evil.

[x]Favorite quote[s]?
None

[x]Extra?
