Things I hate: people who link from icon communities to their graphic community and then make it so that you have to join in order to see the icons. I'm not joining your community for the five minutes it will take me to look over your icons. I can understand it when people do it with fic or art but icons? Meh.
I wrote about 1,000 words on a Marcus/Hermione smutty one-shot last night even though I promised myself that I wouldn't be starting anything else new until the
dgficexchange is out of the way. Since I've not even got out of the intro section it's going to be a lot longer than I initially anticipated (I was going to try and keep it below 2,500 words). I got carried away with writing a mini Ron/Hermione scene at the beginning and I don't have the heart to cut it so I've got no one to blame but myself.
I've also posted a quickly put together
masterlist of stories at
burnishedspells. It's going to take me a while to see whether I can find my older stuff - the BtVS and Smallville stuff. The latter I really want to track down links for. I half fancy re-reading some of it so I can groan at the plot/spelling/grammar/all of the above, lol. I'm definitely going to be trying to find whether I ever posted Kinship (Willow/Connor, BtVS/Highlander) and Beside You (Willow/Methos) here. I know they're at TTH but I don't want to link there if I can help it. I felt rather guilty when I was going back through my old entries here and I noticed how many unfinished WIPs there are. I think this year I'll make a concerted effort to finish off as many of them as I can.
Oh, and thanks to title I saw for a fic, I now have the horrible urge to write Harry/Ginny (*feels ill*) with Harry as a WAG... er, I suppose that would be a HAB actually.
Hmm... maybe I can manipulate it for something else. Something non-H/G.
And because it was a lovely bright sunny day I decide to take a couple of pictures of my pigeons. We've got thirteen in total and, rather irritatingly, about half of them decided to take off and land on the roof when I went outside with my camera. Maybe they're camera shy because normally I can get right up to them.
These two are my favourites. They're a mated pair - the hen bird is the one of the left and the cock bird on the right.
The two on the left are a mated pair. The red is the male and was one of the first chicks that we have hatched off when we got pigeons again. His brother is pretty much the most aggressive one we have - he's also the horniest, lol. He's fathered six chicks since the summer and there would have been more if we hadn't started to prick the eggs. The two to the right as his offspring. The flap door that is on the right of the picture promptly decided to fall off after I went inside meaning that I had to try and fix it in the dark when I shut them in for the night. It wasn't fun.
And a sneaky picture of my dog, Holly. She's wearing a rather attractive purple bandage, as you can see. Small for a boxer, isn't she? Oh, and that's my dad's leg you can see in the background. He's got rid of the crappy slippers now, lol.
