Summer Reading List: King Solomon's Mines
It's time to revive this old thing and kick some new life into it. For now, all these entries will be cross-posted from my blog on HPFF and some entries from my new tumblr, here. The tumblr's more for the serious thoughts whereas this will be more of a book review blog.
( so here goes it ) -
HP Fic: In the Fleeting Shade
Another story for the TGS writeathon, another that I can't yet post at HPFF, this time because it's the ending of one of my WIPs, and so contains.... "spoilers". :P Picture River Song saying that word, and then you'll understand. It's the epilogue to The Sands of Time at HPFF, but since I have no clear idea when I'll finish that story, I'm ( Read more... ) -
some original fiction
Many apologies for being away from LJ for so long. The summer started with much insanity in RL and hasn't quite gotten over it - much love and thanks to those who commented on earlier posts relating to said insanity. I'm in the process of moving to attend a new university, and to distract myself I've been spending more time making graphics and ( Read more... ) -
away
I'm currently in Europe, Slovakia to be exact, though I'm leaving tomorrow for the west of the continent. It's been a very nice trip so far, and I've written up longer bloggish entries for posting once I get home (and have 1. a more reliable internet connection, and 2. more energy). So far, I've got about 600 photos, many of which I'll probably ( Read more... ) -
this spring
In mid-May, I'll be going to Europe. Sadly not to Italy or Rome or England, but still to very interesting places, certainly ones more interesting than sticking around here. I'll be taking in Vienna, going to Slovakia, then driving across Austria and Germany to the Netherlands ( Read more... ) -
something to squee about
It's called Doctor Who. More specifically series five.
"The Eleventh Hour" was just so much fun to watch. The characters had great chemistry, and both Matt and Karen are adorable in a witty/lively/pretty way. The writing was fantastic and the whole episode was a great combination of old and new, perfect for a new Doctor and companion. The ( Read more... ) -
Losing Pandora's
Pandora's Closet is closing this week, and I wish it hadn't had to happen. It's always been my favourite graphics site, the place I could come for fun, whereas TDA has been the place I work. I loved the people at Pandora's, the spam, the challenges, the different atmosphere the whole place had. Pandora's truly was the best graphics site out ( Read more... ) -
a meme for you
I dislike memes, usually, but I'll try this one out for size (mostly because it's people commenting who'll do the work :P). If you want to fill this out, go ahead. At the very least, I could use the recommendations. XD ( Read more... ) -
making original fiction
One goal I've set myself for this year (apart from getting into a PhD program) is publishing something. There are two options: my major research paper on Harry Potter or one of my stories. I've been readying both for publishing, and to be honest, while I have a few stories all ready to send out, I'm still too terrified to take that next step. I ( Read more... ) -
another new story
It's far too easy to get mired in writing short stories. Four years ago, when I took a short story writing class, I was the one person who couldn't get the concept of what a "short story" was - I was a novel person, in for the long run. Now it's the other way around. There are still two more ideas in my head for Potterverse one-shots (hopefully ( Read more... )
