According to Ikey, the janitor at Mom's work who's a real old mountain man, we're going to get a snow tonight because the hoot owls have been hollaring and flew from west to east, twice, and the bluejays are on the ground and the squirrels are clustering. He's naysayed all the previous snow predictions correctly, so we picked up milk and bread and salsa and cookies just in case the hoot owls are right on the snow front.
I've been having a fun week, overall- I had a Batman VS Superman Movie-A-Thon on Friday, which lasted for 11 hours while we viewed Superman, Batman, Superman II and Batman Returns. It was a blast, even though I accidently broke the house immediately before it began (Don't ask, the moral of that story is I shouldn't be allowed to vacuum unsupervised) but the television and microwave were functional, and they're all you really need for a Movie-A-Thon. (Well, also a banner. Which I provided, and should probably scan for others' viewing amusement, because I went all-out on the art.) I also had Amazing Shopping Deals out the wazoo, and now basically have a brand new spring wardrobe, from capris to tops to jackets to shoes, for twenty bucks.
So I realized I haven't uploaded any of my HP fics to FA in forever, and have remedied the situation by uploading my three latest HP fic-length stories- yesterday's Lucius and Bella gen, the Bellatrix/Ginny/Draco and a Ginny/Tom. I much prefer putting fics on LJ. I like responding to people in a way that doesn't feel all invasive (I'm oddly shy when it comes to internet interactions. More people should prod me, because I adore chatting to people but am awkward and shy when it comes to making the first contact. IM-ing me means getting snippets of whatever I'm writing and also sometimes getting fic-on-demand, if that's any incentive to draw me out of my shell.) However, I also like opening myself up to new readership, so FA for the HP fics it is. Another day I will figure out exactly what else I haven't uploaded there, but three fics at one go is enough like spamming for me.
Some days I want to talk about my fic here, but haven't figured out how without sounding like a conceited jerkoff. So if anyone has any questions, like why, when, where, or what the hell were you thinking? about anything I've done, fire away. Or anything else anyone's interested in, like what's in my half-written folder or whether I would ever write a pairing or scenario or anything like that.
fic,
