Me too. :-) Just went to get them today and they weren't even close to selling out.

Hi again, by the way. :-) How come you're under a different lj name now?

Basically, I decided I wanted my old/proper LJ back, with nearly 3 years of entries, but had to change the name to reset my friends-of list so as to get rid of the 50 or so LJs who had me friended and hadn't updated in more than a year. Sometimes, I'm neurotic. :)

*chuckle* Well, I'm glad to see you again. :-) Now I have two, possibly three Belgian slashers on my list.

Oh, who else?

rane_ab and possibly camillabloom. I don't know camillabloom well, since I just friended her a few days ago and haven't spoken to her yet. She has several Belgian communities on her members list. Both the ladies are into HP. I've also got several people from the Netherlands. Apparently Harry Potter is a more international fandom than TPM.

Camilla's Belgian, but not living here right now. :) And yeah, HP is a much more international fandom than any I've been in before. It's fun!

*g* Yeah, it really surprised me of how many of our regions were into HP. Or maybe it's because Livejournal is so well known in Harry Potter fandom?

I think it's a combination of HP fandom being a lot more international than most fandoms, and LJ being the venue of choice for HP fandom, really.

*nods* I've hears several people comment that Harry Potter is more LJ-based than Yahoogroup-based. There are mailing lists and stuff, but feedback and interpersonal contact originates from LJ, not the mailing lists.

That seems to be true for most fandoms that came into being after, say, 2001, though. Popslash was much the same, IIRC. (Also when it came to internationalness, which makes me think fandom in general is just becoming a lot more international these days. A good thing!)
