RL will eat me, I'm sure.

Two things:

1. The not-so-important one: You have till Tuesday to vote over at smutasticawards. (Round Two.) (Vote for me and/or another HD author or no one, remember? :D)

2. The much more important one: Happy Belated Birthday, lotus_lizzy! Sorry I'm late! Have a giant squishy hug, babe!

Where did my free time go? I'm not complaining because hey, I have a job, but I've been working for a week and it feels like forever. First week (last week) went really well, but not without bruises. I mean that literally. I'm working with Mr. YoungEagerAndClumsy. On Wednesday he decided he really needed to get somewhere fast and he rushed past me and shoved me (SHOVED ME!) into a door. I have a bruise to prove it. It's right next to my left eyebrow where I still have a fancy scar thanks to my car accident last year. But it's no longer fancy now that there's a bruise below it. :( Is he really that uncoordinated or is this how young people pick up girls these days? Because he spent the rest of the week constantly asking me, "Are you okay? Does it hurt?" and he kept trying to touch (TOUCH!) the bruise. OMGWTF? Seriously? Am I supposed to be turned on by shoving? Oh yeah, baby! Give it to me harder! What happened to "So where you're from?" I liked "So where you're from?" It didn't GIVE ME BRUISES. He is cute, though.

I missed birthdays and I'm sorry. So Happy Belated Birthday to kalimai, adores_draco and megyal! I hope you had lovely bdays! I have some tame pics and not so tame pics for you.



Also, this is for my flist because I found it and went "awwwwwwwww!" It's PORN. No, I'm kidding. It's PG-13 kissing, but it has porn music. :D


And a rec: Y'all read interrobanging's Release (H/D; NC-17), right? Cos you should. It's beautiful.

This is definitely a Hogwarts!fic scene. *nod nod* Doesn't this make you feel inspired to write a cute little smutty drabble? *is hopeful*

I did write a silly little something. Now, it's your turn. Man, I read a fic today that depressed me so much. I mean, it was BAD. Really, really BAD. Hide beneath the covers and cry for your mummy bad. *shudders* I need happy fluff. I have a little writer's block, did you notice that? :( Everything I write just turns to crap. *cries*

First, a big thank you to weasleywench for the virtual bundle of gifts! *squishes tight* ♥ And a big thank you to my dear kaykayen for the adorable love letter. *glomps* ♥

And second, the WIP meme! What? I do HAVE a WiP and I can HAS MEME! OKAY!?

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence.

1. "Excellent." Potter grinned, his lips still a little wet and shiny, catching the light of the candles. "Well then, your place or mine?"

*\o/* Okay, that's three sentences, but ignore that.

Chapter ten will be posted tomorrow. I think.

Ahem. So there'll be no fic today. Sorry about that. But see, I'm getting twitchy. This is my first WiP and it has a lot of UST, and I don't want to rush the last few chapters. I think you'd rather wait a little longer than get something that's bad because I rushed.

I mean, each chapter will be a day late, I don't mean this will suddenly turn into weekly updates or something. I just need an extra day or two for each chapter. Plus, the last few will be longer since I don't want to cut sex scenes (GASP! Spoiler!) in stupid places. Emotions are running high, Harry and Draco are two very upset (and in love) idiots so keeping that balance between making them emotional but not turning them weepy and making sure they react as the stubborn and a little crazy men they are is gonna require caution. I'd hate to waste this UST. Explosions take time and need proper care.

So I just want you to know I'm not being purposely mean, I just don't want to fuck this up. And I actually have a beta. Not that that will slow down the process, she tells me she's super-speedy, but the increasing amount of typos is another clue I'm rushing, and that's BAD!

Also, at this point, no matter where I end the chapters it will look like a cliffhanger. Some crazy stuff has yet to come.

Forgive?

In other news: You have about four more hours to comment here and get a chance to win a copy of the book: Wicked Gentlemen by ginnhale. So if you want this book and don't have the money to buy it go there and sign up. If you don't want the book or have the money to buy it, then don't go there and sign up. :D Read the details on that link.

The fabulous bryoneybrynn is giving two books away, and rickey_a two more. So that's four books, and (I think) 66 people entered this . . . I'm gonna call it The Draw of Bryoney the Generous. Good luck, everyone!

I'm KIDDING! Relax.

LOL! Ahem. So I skimmed through my flist today. No, not flist, I've read my flist. I've skimmed that 'Manage friends' thingy. Cos I've been friending back sort of erratically lately. And I'm home this week, apparently. I'm a bit ... indisposed. Yeah. So. Anyway, I made this huge flist cut and chucked half of you from my flist!

I'm KIDDING!

I just friended back a bunch of people whose names I recognize (even vaguely) — THOUGH YOU DID NOT TALK TO ME, YOU MEANIES! — and can be sure that they're not mad Russian bots that HACK PEOPLE! OMG! (Fan service comment: If you don't know, there's this LJ-sec thingy used for easy crossposting/maintaining secondary journals and LJ-archive thingy that saves your posts AND comments. So you can be prepared.) *whimpers*

So I'm just telling you 'bout the friending, so you know what's the what.

Okay, so, I am ever so slightly drunk, but rational enough to click and type. Kinda. I SWEAR, MajaLi, I've beta-ed your fic before I got drunk. *nods*

Also, this drabble by enchanted_jae is the cutest thing that ever cuted in Cuteville.
