short bits on a cranky day

[jlh]

I'm a little too cranky to write much, so I'm giving people super late comments on entries I missed during the DDoS. Some short things:

1. Thank you to everyone who gave me those chocolate heads! Super duper nice, you guys!
   
2. Also thanks for voting in my poll. The outcome of the vote seems to be split down the middle, so that's what I'm going to do: post it in segments on LJ and DW, post it all-at-once on AO3, and which way I do it on the archives (F&I and FA) depends on how annoying it is to code it all properly. I'll probably post asking for help sometime next week because last time it was super clunky. (Like, which programs actually export to html properly?)
   
3. Per your votes I'll be rewriting those little bits on the HP stories and taking down the stuff I wrote before, very self-consciously.
   
4. Congrats to everyone already in Pottermore. I'm happy to wait until October and go in with the masses, but I will have all these fantastic friends to guide me!
   
5. five_ht just posted some Arthur/Eames which makes me think that maybe it will be worth it to write the Ariadne/Yusuf Vegas AU after all. (You should read the fic; it's super good.)
   
6. canis_takahari was asked to talk about Jim/Bones mpreg and I suddenly thought of how adorable it would be to write about either two men or two women who get pregnant at the same time, like chef Cat Cora and her partner did in real life. Chef Cora did a whole "Best Thing I Ever Ate" segment on some egg dish available in Miami that both she and her partner craved big time when they were pregnant together, and filmed the piece with their babies in tow in their strollers and the whole thing could not have been cuter. I have a weird thing about writing my boyslash couples wanting babies and my girlslash couples not. I mean, Pansy/Parvati, no; they are happy aunties. Chapel/Rand sometimes. Oh, wait, Carly/Amanda totally had kids, though I think Gina/Haley not so much. But Luna/Tonks, I ship pretty hard, so ... hahaha, there could be that! The two of them getting pregnant at the same time would be many deeply strange things!
