Y'know, this is why I usually stick to my OTPs. Because when you've already spent 6600 words trying to work things up to the point where two characters (read: Harry and Draco) could conceivably fall in love or at least into bed together and you're not sure how much more there is to go but it's more than a little, then clearly, these two characters ( Read more... )

I'm still alive, I swear. It's just that I'm currently working three jobs, which means working seven days and 60-odd hours a week, and lately I've been valuing sleep over fandom. And what little creativity the whole general overworkedness and exhaustion hasn't drained out of me has been going to the never-to-be-completed fantasy world in my head, ( Read more... )

On the off-chance that there are people on my flist who live under a rock, someone's compiling a massive amount of HP fic recs, hpficmasterlist. So. Rec fics! The original rec post (plus explanation) is here and a second is in progress here. And I've seen several excellent fics that still need a couple of supporting comments to make the masterlist, so while it ( Read more... )

I've got an interesting bunny for a postwar HP fic, centered around Harry, but I've hit a bit of a snag. ( I doubt I really need an HBP spoiler warning, but for all I know some people are avoiding any HP 7 speculation, hence lj cut )

So! Yes. I was responsible for Faintly Falling, a Remus/Sirius what is a remix of kenazfiction's Neither Sign Nor Symbol. The original is better. Go forth and check it out.

And penknife wrote a most splendiferous remix of my fic 'Can't Run But', which is probably better than mine, which looks at both Regulus and Draco from Snape's POV and actually tells the story in ( Read more... )

I seem to have developed a bit of a hankering for some good Ron/Hermione. Yay for canon relationships, or rather very-nearly-canon-why-have-they-not-shagged-yet relationships, and all. But that corner of the fandom scares me. Well, not as much as the Harry/Hermione corner of the fandom scares me, but still. Er. Help?

Saw GoF, again. I have no willpower.

But oh, man. If I'm aready bawling my eyes out over Cedric Diggory, a character I don't really care about, then I am going to be a WRECK at the end of the OotP film. Just sayin'.

So I went to Cork yesterday, and wasn't there for very long compared to the round-trip NINE HOURS of bus. Oy. But there I met up with ldmoonflower and her friend and we saw GoF.

( less of a review than a couple of brief, vaguely spoilery comments )

Oh the brilliance! There's a clip from the GoF movie here and it is so much with the awesomeness and hilarity. You must all click and see.

Er. Unless you're spoiler-free. In which case, well, you rather obviously shouldn't. Because a clip from the movie would probably constitute a big honking spoiler.

Reading the latest installment of shoebox_project at work is CLEARLY hazardous to my health and job. Hazardous to my job if my supervisor happens to pop by and notice that my face is bright pink with barely-pent-up sniggering and squee, and hazardous to my health because I am in danger of actually going pop and all the giggles and squee will just explode out in a ( Read more... )
