happy birthday to fera_festiva and supergreak!

i've spent a large chunk of this morning squeeing over asylum photos & con reports, and catching up with the flist. and now i can finally post an entry!

note to self: honestly. if you're not going to check your lj from friday - monday, either set up some bloody filters, or don't care about reading everything the flist has

thanks!!

[fera_festiva]

*glompage* Thank you! I love seeing my name up in sparkles like that. ^_^

"you must be happy you look more fair-skinned!"

Someone seriously said this to you? That's fucked up. >:C

I'm going to try and think of a rec or two for you... the problem is you already read way more than I do, so you'll probably have read it anyway! (And in any case, all I've read recently has been Merlin smut.) I will drop back later with whatever I think of. ♥

heeee! i felt bad that i was late but i literally didn't touch a computer all weekend! *hugs* how was the birthday babe?

gimme your recs! well, i won't be able to read merlin since i haven't seen any eps, but i want to know about anything hp you liked recently :)

heheh south asians are obsessed with having lighter complexions - especially when it comes to women. guys want light-skinned girls, girls want to BE light-skinned, and mothers want their children or children's significant others to be light-skinned. it's bizarre.

and also incredibly ironic b/c HELLO we're south asian. we're genetically predisposed to a certain pigmentation. and who cares if someone's white or yellow or brown or any colour of the rainbow. ugh.

luckily my own family doesn't give a rat's arse about this kind of shit but i've grown up listening to other people lament to my mum/dad "awh it's unfortunate your daughter is so dark" or tell me to my face that i should try different things to change the colour of my skin :P

It was a lovely birthday, thank you! I got my very own copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, amongst other things, so we should probably fangirl it together at some point. XD

I thought of a rec for you - the best R/S I have read recently was the story lefaym wrote me for my birthday. It's here. It's smutty. :P

(I'm not gonna comment on the pigmentation thing, because >:( and o_O and D: and... yeah.)

[aki_hoshi]

Moonal...um...I haven't posted anything for the ass fest...I still haven't heard back from anyone but Rox. Could you please take that down? lol. It's not up yet!

[aldehyde]

and fixed. for some reason i thought you already posted it.

[aki_hoshi]

Hahahaha! Nope! I want to today, though. :) I just want to make sure it sounds good! :D I'll be happy to give you the link when I post it, though. :)

[aldehyde]

i went through your email and besides the typos that were already spotted, i didn't see anything that needed improvement :D i was going to respond to the email but then i thought you'd posted it and yeah. hehe :)

[snegurochka_lee]

Ooh, I just did some short!fic recs a couple of weeks ago! You've probably read them all already, though. And I've barely read anything since then, gaaah. Oh! Two from last week's QR that I liked:

Refusing to Break by asnowyowl (Remus/Charlie, NC-17, 800 words)

Five Reasons Pansy Parkinson Hates Weddings by Anon (Harry/Pansy, PG-13, 1.5K or so)

Depending on your ships and all. :)

[aldehyde]

oo thanks! i've hardly read anything hp in the last couple of weeks so i probably haven't read the ones you recced :D

remus/charlie! usually i don't want remus with anyone but sirius but i think i might be able to make an exception for charliekins ;)

and oo harry/pansy eh? pansy's a firecracker, i do love her!
