Where have I been? Not on LJ, that's for sure. I apologize if I've missed important posts or events. If so, point me in the right direction, please. I took a break from the net while I was working on two stories for the 30minutefics Fic Exchange. (And I apologize for spamming your flist with them, but also I'm posting them to my LJ for the people who aren ( Read more... )

I didn't say this last post, so happy belated New Year to everyone! I see that the new year has arrived and the HP fandom wankery continued unabated. There wasn't even a short break for "peace on earth, good will to men" that I could see.

I posted my second prompt-driven 500-word story to romancingwizard last night. It's pure fluff, but it's here if you want to read it. And I've started working on another story that's been stuck in my head for quite some time. I realize that I should finish up the stories I've already started, but my fickle muse has finally decided to hang out here for a bit, ( Read more... )

Am I the only one who is suddenly having random icons pop up when commenting on someone else's LJ? I just inadvertently used my Happy Halloween icon at poor keladry_lupin's journal. Since we've only recently friended each other, that's not an especially good first impression to make. ~grin~ And it just tried to stick in my Merry Christmas icon another place ( Read more... )

30minutefics has announced its first fic exchange. You can locate the details here, but it's basically a pick-your-challenge-and-characters sort of thing.

Considering the recent total lack of muse, I was surprised to actually write a response to the latest 30minutefics challenge. It required "the Sorting Hat, a mirror and a bit of string." Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to finish it in 30 minutes, but I did finish it, so that counts as something, right? ;)

I've not posted in a while and I apologize for that. I realize that I'm over two weeks late in posting shiv5468's drabble. ~winces~ But I couldn't get some things right, so I kept buffing them until they at least polished up a bit. In an effort to make up for being late, it's also 11,527 words over the standard drabble limit. ;) I've posted the first ( Read more... )
