Re: Questions, etc zia_montrose April 13 2011, 02:34:42 UTC

The only thing I noticed is that I think the prompt invitation should read: invite you to join them at the celebration of their marriage.

And yet I miss a million errors when it's my own work....

Re: Questions, etc klose April 14 2011, 02:11:32 UTC

I got the wording from some microsite on wedding invitation etiquette (although I missed out the part that says the bride's name should go first, for which I apologise), which suggested that an invite from the actual couple be worded in th "first-person". :)

Re: Questions, etc zia_montrose April 14 2011, 03:22:29 UTC

Oh, interesting... I'll have to try to commit that one to memory. Sorry for the false alarm!

*SQUEE* I never thought of reading AU Lily/James fics until really recently, and I just love it <3 This was adorable.

Re: STAG – [FIC ; G] Of Weddings and Pranks, by museme87 museme87 April 11 2011, 01:28:25 UTC

I'm convinced there isn't enough L/J AUs out there, especially not happy ones. :)

Re: STAG – [FIC ; G] Of Weddings and Pranks, by museme87 klose April 11 2011, 01:24:06 UTC

I was thinking the other day I'd like to see more AUs in the fest/EP rounds, so I was excited to see this. More so that it was a "happy-family-AU" because I'm such a sucka for those.

I LOVED this, for delivering not just Potter family interaction, but also for that glimpse into James and Lily's wedding - is the sight of Lily, swathed in white, trying to keep a straight, smiling face-and her temper in check- as she walked with him up the aisle, followed by a procession of toads - love it! An image that could have very easily been typical and cliche, but no... of course James wouldn't have allowed their wedding to be typical and cliche. ;)

He supposes the photo of little Harry and Ginny sharing a bath
OMG!!!! XDDD /DIES

STAG – [FIC; PG-13] Wedding Invitations and (Impatiently) Waiting, by MissGoalie75 missgoalie75 April 10 2011, 23:42:47 UTC

Title: Wedding Invitations and (Impatiently) Waiting
Author: MissGoalie75
Team: Stag!
Rating & Warnings: PG-13; language
Summary: Remus doesn’t know why Lily’s asking him for his opinion on wedding invitations.
Note: Seriously, it’s like a test to see how close I can get to the 500-word limit.

Remus doesn’t know why Lily’s asking him for his opinion on wedding invitations. Just because he picked a rather fetching color for hers and James’ living room (as the two were arguing about two completely different colors) didn’t mean that he was suddenly an expert in everything artistic.

“Voilà! What do you think?”

Remus bites his bottom lip as he stares at the invitation.

Her face falls. “You hate it.”

“No, no! Not at all, it’s not that. It’s…oh dear, this is a little awkward…”

“What? You hate the colors? I thought the red and gold motif would be nice since we were Gryffindors -”

“It’s the date,” he blurts to get her to stop rambling.

She pauses, her brow furrowing in a way that he knows James finds adorable; it’s rare to see Lily Evans (soon to ( ... )

Oh dear, I mixed up the ratings on this and for another drabble I'm working on -_- This could really be PG *headdesk*

Re: STAG – [FIC; PG-13] Wedding Invitations and (Impatiently) Waiting, by MissGoalie75 museme87 April 11 2011, 01:23:17 UTC

I love Remus and Lily fics! You've just made my day, seriously. I like the setting--having James away on a mission--and how Lily is trying to plan this whole thing during the war and failing. Remus deserves all the love for his way of reassuring her.

Btw, I totally didn't catch the date thing when klose sent me the preview of the prompt (really, shame on me because I have their birthdays memorized), so I like how you've incorporated that into the fic as well.

Re: STAG – [FIC; PG-13] Wedding Invitations and (Impatiently) Waiting, by MissGoalie75 missgoalie75 April 11 2011, 01:55:44 UTC

Remus is basically my spirit animal <3 definitely why when I saw the date I immediately recognized it to be his birthday; I'm such a fangirl Glad you liked it!

This was cute. I love how worried James was... and Sirius and the boys were mean to him! :P

Re: DOE – [FIC; PG] What Else Could Go Wrong? , by Ravenne_Crion museme87 April 11 2011, 23:11:32 UTC

A nice rendition of James' stag night! :)

Re: DOE – [FIC; PG] What Else Could Go Wrong? , by Ravenne_Crion missgoalie75 April 13 2011, 18:45:27 UTC

Hahaha this was great - I love the idea of Lily hanging out/keeping up with the Marauders sans James ^_^

[FIC; Rating] Of presumptuous wedding invitations, by MartheMaria marthemaria April 11 2011, 21:35:03 UTC

Title: Of presumptuous wedding invitations
Author/Artist: MartheMaria
Rating & Warnings: None (:
Summary: James thinks he’s being extremely funny - and giving away very subtle hints - but Lily strongly disagrees.

WHAM.

James blinked and shifted his gaze from his half finished Transfiguration essay to the hand that had slammed down on his table mere seconds ago. More specifically: he was looking at the peach coloured piece of parchment pinned underneath that very same hand.

Ah.

Well, he’d always known that she’d catch up with him sooner or later. He leaned back in his chair, folded his hands behind his head and stared, seemingly unfazed, into the blazing, green eyes of Lily Evans.

‘What is the meaning of this?’
He looked back at the piece of parchment and ruffled his hair a bit, trying to think of a good answer.

‘You don’t like it? I wasn’t so sure about the colour myself.’

‘The colour isn’t what bothers me,’ she hissed. ‘It’s what’s on the ruddy parchment that I find problematic. Our wedding invitation? Are you insane ( ... )

Re: [FIC; Rating] Of presumptuous wedding invitations, by MartheMaria zia_montrose April 11 2011, 21:57:40 UTC

LOL, what a wonderful interpretation of the prompt! I like it a lot!

‘Call me conventional...........

I’ve given you more than two years to consent. I thought that was quite the generous timeframe. ahahaha

I'm feeling rather dull now, myself, in comparison, as I wrack my brain for drabble scenarios. ; )

Re: [FIC; Rating] Of presumptuous wedding invitations, by MartheMaria marthemaria April 13 2011, 07:33:34 UTC

Thank you for your lovely comment! Despite your feelings of dullness, you did a great job with your own drabble :D

Re: [FIC; Rating] Of presumptuous wedding invitations, by MartheMaria liebedance April 11 2011, 22:32:02 UTC

Cute and very funny. I love that the date was the same after two years.
