I've written a little abstract ficlet, it's ~500 words only, but I'm having tense issues so it would be nice to have someone look at it if anyone has the time. It's an Andromeda, Sirius gen thingy exploring how I imagine their relationship.
*offers cookies*
I was looking through my old fics (they are all so old!) today and was surprised how much I liked them still, though I can see problems. My constant moaning about how rubbish they were was very annoying though. I wish I could have made the lesson not to apologise for something you're putting out there earlier (in writing and performing). They are mostly pretentious little ficlets, as it the one I wrote today, but I like that sort of thing ;) |

| Hello Out There! |
[Nov. 26th, 2009|01:07 am] |
I shall start this post by saying that I wish a very happy birthday to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) snegurochka_lee (it's after midnight here). She is pretty much the only person I am still in contact with from my first fandom home and it makes me so happy she is still around in Harry Potter fandom and I love seeing her posts, even if I am rubbish at commenting ever. She is an amazing author and gives good rec and is generally awesome. A lot has changed since we first met (for instance both of us totally used to avoid H/D ;)) but even though we have drifted out of contact I am very happy to know her. I totally blame her for getting me into slash as well! I was happily going along reading Snape/Various Female Characters and she went "Wow, what if Lupin and Snape had sex?! That is such an original idea!" And here I am now.
Second, I have the past few months been getting into fandom properly a bit more. I have never properly dropped out of it, but not having a working computer for 3-4 months last year made me drift further out then ever before. I've been enjoying some of the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) hp_darkfest fics and a few other things and I am totally looking forward to Christmas fests. I still love the Harry Potter world so much, even after more than ten years after (nearly 11 in fact) I first got addicted. Because of it I have met so many lovely people and even gotten closer to my sister. I am so lucky to have rl friends because of HP fandom. Now, we don't always talk about Harry Potter sometimes we talk about kink but it is great to have friends with whom you can analyse whether items in any given shop are the correct shade of pink for Draco to wear them.
I had an amazing hallowe'en weekend at an amazing place with amazing Harry Potter fans (I had so much fun cosplaying Hermione much of the weekend, and Andromeda on Saturday evening for the family reuion from hell!). Thanks a lot to this I have even been writing and am considering doing hp_kinkfest. I was not sure, but son_of_darkness was telling me I should do it and hedonisticated gave me a bit of a bunny. Which will probably not be SSC or even RACK! :P It is scary the thought of writing something and putting it out there, it has been so long!
Finally, Christmas is less then a month away! This is so cool! Eee! *throws snowballs*
P.S. Blah blah, I know I haven't updated in over a year, posts apologising for that are so dull. But I am sorry. |

| Get YourAS/S Over There! |
[Oct. 2nd, 2008|01:25 pm] |
Hi everyone! I know it seems like I never post any more except for this stufff but, well... This stuff is AWESOME!
The prompting for the AS/S Shorts fest is over and people can now claim. There are lots of fun prompts and it's a great opertunity if you want to find your first bit of AS/S inspiration or just have the chance to write something short!
The guidlines are here. I think they are quite clear; if you don't please say something as it makes it harder for us if we don't know people's problem. You can see prompts 1-80 here, prompts 81- 168 here and if you are a member you can look at the_ass_fest and see our NC 17 page of prompt.
I really hope people join in, this will be a really fun fest I think :D |

| Get Ready to Flash Your AS/S |
[Sep. 24th, 2008|01:44 pm] |
Yay! This is has all come together now and I can announce the new mini-fest the_ass_fest as doing 'Winter Shorts' our first flash fest.
Basically everyone can give prompts and then anyone can take prompts. It's intended as something to help people with their writers block if they are mired in their bigger winter fest fics and just want to be inspired to write something short that doesn't need to please anyone but themselves!

| Not Sleeping |
[Aug. 26th, 2008|03:48 am] |
Things have been good for me recently, I even had a relatively normal sleep pattern for a couple of days, which was fun, but it seems to have all collapsed again, as always seems to happen with me. What I really want right now is a really nice, funny H/D novella post-DH which I haven't read. I'm sure I could something that fits this if I looked/knew where to look, but I'm wary of wading into fics I know nothing about even once I find one. Also, that would further delay sleep :p
I'm now a mod on the_ass_fest which is fun, we're talking about our next step. I love doing this sort of thing and have wanted to be involved before, but I've only seen oppertunities with newsletters before and the work for them terrfies me!
Also, I now have lego Snader (Severus Snape/Darth Vader) earrings. This makes me disproportionately pleased! Especially as Snape is holding a laser gun. Sadly Vader has already lost his light saber. Oh well. I now want to turn more lego figures into earrings, they are actually not too heavy, much lighter than many of the earrings you see people wearing around!
I'm having problems pinning down my bunny for hp_darkfest. It sorts of wants to be au, but I don't want it to be :p |

| Odd Dreams |
[Aug. 9th, 2008|03:20 pm] |
I had some rather bizarre dreams last night. I don't often remember my dreams, so two memorable ones is quite something.
I the first one involved trying really hard to get to a convention, which invloved antics with cars and buses and finally I was at a train station (I think Peterborough!) with mokatiki. I was trying to call someone, and they said they were upstairs, but at that point I'm unsure who it was. I went up the stairs and of course, it was son_of_darkness. I snuck up behind him and made him jump :p. I then realised that he was at a picnic bench, and raelinschaos, hedonisticated and melusinahp were sitting opposite. We all got talking and son_of_darkness mentioned a fic. It was implanted into my brain that this was a HD fic that most of us had read, which was pretentious but son_of_darkness liked anyway.
raelinschaos said she would never read it again and hedonisticated said it was best read while drunk. Then it went to weird black and white ofson_of_darkness in his room (but sitting at a nonexistent desk) wearing weird faux-medieval-style shirt which was red and gold (even though it was black and white) with enormous plastic jewels. He was dressing as Harry from the fic and he quoted some pretentious line, then it cut to him doing a Harry-glare, then spinning in his chair.
WTF?
The second was a bit less odd, it was dystopia future thing. The was no food movement and transport wouldn't work. There was some electricity in the house, but for some reason we (I'm not sure who we were) would go out (into a forest) during the day and then come back home to sleep. There was regular barbeques, even after there stopped being food and a rich man came to one and showed off. I then questioned why we didn't just stay in the house during the day as it was freezing out.
The end :/ |

The new trailer for Half-blood Prince has been released and it is amazing. I'm so freaking excited! I thought about waiting until I could see it in cinemas and decided not to and it is awesome,I'm so excited. Here is the official msn movies page which links to a high quality version, top of the page atm.
Although, am I the only one who finds Dumbledore at the end hilarious? ... No.
And even though I'm generally not that all about the films that dumdum dumdumdum dumdum dum, dum dumdumdum dum-dum music sends chills down my spine. It's so perfect! |

| Why do you like Snape? |
[Jul. 27th, 2008|03:41 am] |
Question for people who like Snape, why do you think you do?
If you don't like Snape I'm still interested in your Snapey thoughts, but I was discussing this with the lovely empathic_siren and the lame son_of_darkness the other day and thought I'd ask other people, if anyone's reading this ;).
So, snapely thoughts anyone?
(I have no Snape icon, so I use this one, as one of the Ss stands for Severus, after all!) |

| Arg, Semagic! and talking out of my AS/S |

So, thinking that I would like to update my journal once in a while I got Semagic, but I really want things to go out to ij as well, on principal if nothing else I tried to followthese instructions, but I just get an error message, which is highly frustrating. Also, I tried going to sleep sensibly hours ago and yet I'm still awake!
What I feel like talking about now is AS/S. Just over a year ago today little Albus Severus and Scorpius were released in the epilogue and I must say the AS/S part of fandom makes me ever greatful for that epilogue. Though I minded it less than other people did. ( AS/S Love Down Here )
So, in closing, tee hee, AS/S is funny because it's like a word for bottom.
I love Harry Potter and this fandom so much it sometimes nearly hurts. At least nine years after reading the first two books and just over 5 years in HP fandom have passed for me and I'm still just so excited about it. I'm broke, yet trying to convince myself £500-600 is a sensible amount to spend to go and bask in Harry Potterness. Thisis from someone who spends time with friends met through Harry Potter at least once a week. I am crap at contributing to fandom, but god do I love it. I love all you people, even if I don't know it enough.
On a sad note, I decided I do not have the time I wish I did to devote to life_ahead where I played Dean from the start. I do however majorly love the people there and it helped me so much cement what DH and the post DH world should be to me. Sometimes I forget bits of it aren't canon! |

Bah, I am bored and hungry and I really fancy stuffing. As in the food. Curse you americans with your practice Christmas! And my keyboard sucks, it keeps missing out letters I know I typed! And I have essays, which majorly sucks.
And all the fics I'm following (I am actually reading a variety of WiPs. It's crazy!) updated yesterdaysih so I won't get an update for ages and I cannot find fic. Of course, come the weekend (weekend = december) and I will be drowning in it. Yay fastive fests!
Fandom is a very lovely place. road_ahead is lovely. Dean and Seamus turned the Hufflepuff common room red and Sprout made them wear shirts with dancing badgers on for a week. It was hilarious. And the london_t00bs have been great and I've got to see people a few times recently. This time last week I was on way back from ice skating at Summerset House (the ice rink at the begining of Love Actually) with Kirsty, whose lj I do not know and who did not skate but was lovely, my sister, elanor_isolde and hp_lexicon. And Steve bought us hot chocolate with marshmallows in! There needs to be more hot chocolate with marshmallows in in the world. And I got to britpick for snegurochka_lee for fests with is always fun to do, especially when I get to know secrets. Mwa ha ha ha ha! And I did trivia at KA last friday (my official website, forum with my original fandom friends, yay) which was so much fun. And I can forth, but as I missed a third of the questions and my keyboard is the only reason I wasn't at least third I am okay with that. Plus,normally I fail at rivia (normally being the 2 ish oter times I've done it).
Anyway, you are all lovely people.
(But I'm still bored)
(When writing in the tags I typed r for random and discovered I have r/hr as a tag. How unexpected!) |

I was just watching Film 2007 in the background 'Good.... play of same name.. Nazi Germany... also stars Viggo Mortenson and Jason Issacs.' *ears prick up*
I am so shallow :p
How is everyone? I am good. And shallow. Oh and I'm going to be doing my first rp - road_ahead I t should be awesome. I'm playing Dean, who should be fun partially because he's not as fanonised to me as many characters. It starts next friday and I'm psyched. Yes, I know I never write, sorry. You are lovely people! |

| Too Much Stuff! |

First things first, OotP was by far my favourite movie yet, first one I really, really like as part of the canon and CANNOT wait to see it at Sectus, oh the squeeeage that will occur!
Then, of course it's my boyfriend's birthday on tuesday and he's having apicnic on tuesday.
Which leaves me with only tomorrow to sort out stuff for him and GET READY FOR SECTUS! ARGH!
How can it be so soon? The book too, I can barely even think abut the book. But I want it now.
And I've got a rash on my face but I CANNOT be ill until after Sectus.
Ack, sorry I am lame. Now back to your regularly scheduled silence :p
*hugs to you all* |

So, I've been completely sucking at Hp and fandom recently. I had huge internet troubles and then once they were sorted, I had just been so out of it, and I was too busy and I just wasn't in the right zone. But I miss it now and hopefully I can break back into it. Another reason was that fic was a big part for me, but I find it hard to keep to my interest without a few new loooong fics around andI hadn't really seen anything new that I was into for a while.
Anyway, I reeaaallly want to go to Sectus now though - I'd heard about it through a real life friend and I hadn't paid much attention, but then reading flist today I saw annephoenix do a link and only then did I realise who was running it! It just adds a whole 'nother layer of cool to something pretty cool already.
Of course, I'm posting this just before I go away for a week (to Christian camp, someone please save me) but there you go. Oh, and would anyone be able to beta my femgenficathon fic when I get back (not that it's written yet). I know I suck and just haven't been around so would understand if not, but I would appreciate it.
*lays flowers at the feet of the underappreciated people* |

| Finally! |
[Apr. 26th, 2006|12:28 pm] |
I have finally got net back in my house. Yay!
I've missed quite a lot, as I've only been able to vaguely skim flist for a while. Anything you want me to see link in the comments, and otherwise I should be better from now on.
And I might as well post this:
Title: Everyone Loved Sirius Black
Pairings: Sirius/James, Sirius/Lily, Harry/hand, Sirius/Bella pretty much, with others mentioned.
Warnings: Incest, Chan Masturbation if the that's the right way to write that...
Genre: Angst, pretty much
Rating: Not quite NC 17, I believe.
Words: 431
Much thanks to rayvyn2k for the beta!
( Everyone loved Sirius Black. They don’t want to admit it, but they all wanted him at some point. Even worse, they wanted to take care of him. ) |
