HD-Erised 2016: Veterans and Newcomers
Jan. 3rd, 2017 12:17 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
As I was looking over the anonymous masterlist for this year's
hd_erised fest, I was struck by how many veterans of the HD fandom were still creating fanworks for the fest, even as many newcomers are joining for the first time. I think this speaks to how popular HD fandom has been and still remains!
So everyone can see what I mean, I've organized this year's participants into a table sorted by the year they first published an HD fic or artwork, so far as I know*
*I tried really hard to get accurate data by stalking everyone's LJ and AO3 accounts, but I'm just one person and might have missed something, especially if your LJ is flocked or your early works were on a deleted archive somewhere. So if there are mistakes, just let me know and I'll fix them :)

So it really wasn't much of a working link - I like this new one much better!
And I noticed in my investigations that you're a purger and that makes my archivist's heart hurt a little bit, but it's certainly your stuff to do what you like with! So I really appreciate you sharing the art link you did ♥

My recent HP stuff will probably stay up though. Mostly cause if it leaked into my professional life I wouldn't be too bothered.
