Sticky Post  

Everybody has one of these, so I thought I ought to as well. Yes, if you all jump off a bridge, I would probably do it too. Just to see what all the fuss is about.

Ahem. So this will contain the master list of my stories. I've arranged them by length. Also, this is a post you can comment on if you've friended me and I haven't friended you back (because you haven't said hi, or I sort of missed you. Sorry.) Say hi here and I'll friend you ASAP. *nods*

The Master List of My Stories )


And here is the list of authors and artists on my flist that make my days brighter. If you like my stories, you might like theirs. And if you don't like my stories, you might like theirs. (Note: I've only listed authors who I stalk frequently and I KNOW their writing. And if I stalk them frequently, it means they are awesome and PROLIFIC. There are other awesome writers on my flist (and not on my flist) but I've only ever read a handful of their stories, so I don't think I'm the right person to rec them.) Only last three listed authors aren't here because of Harry/Draco fiction/art.

The Wonderful Authors and Artists on My Flist (In Alphabetical Order) )



In case you are new to fandom and/or writing and/or posting on LJ; or if you're simply interested in checking out some writers' resources, then look around this site: A (Beginner's) Guide to Fanfiction.

Celebration, whining and . . . a question?  
Celebration



Whining

Busy. )


Question

I saw you guys have been oppressing new authors while I was away. :) I don't have much to say on that specific subject because the last time after such discussions I ended up spending months on writing A Beginner's Guide. I wish more people pimped it so more new authors could see it, but that never happened. But oh well, I did what I could and I'm pleased because now, when someone gets accused of oppressing new authors, I can pat myself on the back and say, "Even if they mean you, they're just wrong and you know it." All my thoughts are there, including suggestions on how to package and sell your fics and how to get readership. I have nothing more to offer except continue to review and rec fics I like, no matter who wrote them.

However, I'm troubled by something else. As I read some threads yesterday, I realized that I'm doing some things differently. And now I'm worried that I'm not being as kind and as encouraging as I thought. So here is a list of my priorities and reading and reviewing habits. If you have time, please tell me: 1) Am I doing it wrong? and 2) How are you doing it?

Look, it's Harry and Draco!  


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*

Yet more yay. Sick of my happy already?  
ME

Still happy, but not really fandom-y productive. I mean, I'm not working YET, as I said, next month, BUT I'm just so HYPER. Maybe people who had spend a couple of months at home doing absolutely nothing can understand, but I feel like someone gave me wings. I was beginning to feel useless and unsociable. Um. Well. I WAS useless and unsociable. And normally, I REALLY like being around people. (As long as they leave me alone when I want them to leave me alone.) This "staying at home" experience has been really hard and depressing. So for the most part, these days, I'm SOCIALIZING and unfortunately I'm not around here much.

I'll write something soon, I'm sure.

And again: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!  
So. I spent the last couple of days running around and flailing like a crazy person. (Okay, okay, I was crazier than usual.) I barely checked my flist or well, talked to RL people. Pointless running and flailing filled my days. (Also, I watched a really strange show, and I'll spam you with my thoughts on THAT one day.)

But why were you crazier and is that even possible, you ask? Well, because I was waiting for some people to contact me and tell me the good news (YAY!) or the bad news (OH NOEZ!).

And today they have. Starting next month, I am . . . *drumroll* . . . EMPLOYED!

So YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!



Ahem. I'm VERY HAPPY right now in case you can't tell. :D

And it really seems like a great job and I'll HAVE MONEY! Lalalalalalalalalalalalala! Good timing. I was beginning to feel poor. Oh shopping, thou is not far!

But first I shall drink, drink and drink and dance some more! Preferably in public.



My flist is at ?skip=too much, so if I missed something important please to be pointing out? I'm a lil lost.

YAY!  
Yay! Why yay? I don't know. I'm feeling mighty fine, thank you very much. I did NOTHING last week and that was FUN! And today the sun is shining and birds are singing and there's a grasshopper on my windowsill. I love grasshoppers. They're THE SHIT! So YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Also, I have a job interview this Thursday. Instead of being nervous, I'm rather excited. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Oh HELL, I'll label it as a good thing.

I'm plotting a 10K fic for [livejournal.com profile] thesamanthahope who has kindly donated $ to the Australia Red Cross. And I plotted out four ficlets I owe people. I just need to sit down and write all this. I'm not sure when I'll be able to do that, cos job interview = possible unproductiveness. O.O But also, job interview = need to write porn, RISING! So. Idk.

Also, I just had fun reading these two stories:

This was a fast-paced story with snappy dialogue, a smidgen of angst, a little cuteness, a little sweetness and PLOT.

Title:
In Search of Power
Author: [livejournal.com profile] sesheta_66
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: PG-13
Warning(s): None
Word Count: ~10,300
Summary: "There is no good and evil, there is only power ... and those too weak to seek it." ~ Lord Voldemort

And this was so adorable! (And hot.) Catboy!Harry! *dies*

Title:
Curiosity and a Cat
Beta: [livejournal.com profile] maja_li
Pairing: Harry/Draco

Also, Happy Belated Birthday [livejournal.com profile] piratesmile331, [livejournal.com profile] lemaljumellen, and [livejournal.com profile] weasleywench! ♥ I have three gifts.

Hermitizing  
SORRY! Updating to let you know that I didn't run away with Draco and Harry's coat. (If that was an option, I totally would, though.) I did nothing fandom–related over the weekend, but I've been doing nothing but writing writing writing this week.

The final chapter (+ epilogue) is finally completed and I've sent it to Cheryl. I hope I'll post it tomorrow. But, man, it's LOOOOONG.

See, I planned 6000 words + 2000 words for the epilogue, but then I realized that the last chapter can't be written in just Draco's PoV. You should get a peek in Harry's head, too. It's only fair. And that nearly doubled the chapter so . . . er, yeah, this won't fit into one post (but I will post it all at once, of course.) It has 12K. *headdesk*

And of course, I've been hermitizing as the subject line says, meaning I didn't read anything, but I've bookmarked stuff dutifully and I plan to kick back and see what you've been up to.

Also.

Happy Belated Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] romaine24! I hope you had fun on your birthday! ♥
Happy Belated Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] franalan! I hope you had fun, too! Sorry for the late!
Happy Belated Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] cleo_jay! My dear Cleo, I owe you a fic, don't I? A Christmas one, actually. :| I wish I could have posted it on your bday. Sorry?
Happy Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] jtsbbsps_dk! Heh, you secretive person you! Celebrate your freedom, girl! ♥

Oh and! I dreamt that I've written a novel and became famous. The cool thing is I've dreamt the plot too. In detail. And it's not half bad. I could see this sell and sell well. But of course, I know I'll never write it. Wanna know why? Because in the unlikely event I do write it and become famous, when asked how I thought of the plot I'd HAVE to say, "Well, it came to me in a dream." O.O

First, a big thank you to [livejournal.com profile] weasleywench for the virtual bundle of gifts! *squishes tight* ♥ And a big thank you to my dear [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Seduced but Not Yet Ready  
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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] bryoneybrynn is giving two books away, and [livejournal.com profile] 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!

And after that exciting tale, I has recs:

Fic recs )


And a note about my WiP: There's one more chapter of this UST business, but then things will pick up *nods* and I think you'll be able to see where this is going, and my summary and title will finally make more sense. I totally have a plot. Yes, I do.

Recs and a Fic Offer  
RECS

The incredibly sweet [livejournal.com profile] leochi drew me a Stripping Harry, and he is absolutely gorgeous. And he has an equally gorgeous companion: Stripping Draco. ♥ Also, look at Where You Stand by [livejournal.com profile] draykonis. WOW.

And these fics are made of awesome.

One incredibly hot:

Title
: Grind
Author: [livejournal.com profile] snegurochka_lee
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: A hint of infidelity, perhaps, but there is also no assurance that Harry and Ginny are necessarily married or even very serious at this point...
Word count: ~2,200
Summary: He drags the back of one wrist over his eyebrow, soaking up the moisture threatening to drip into his eyes and fog up his glasses, and then he forces himself to pull it together, scanning the crowd. There is only one reason he's here, after all.

And one short, but hot and damn funny:

Title: Forfeit
Author: [livejournal.com profile] softly_sweetly
Beta: None, mistakes are mine alone
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~360
Characters/Pairings: Harry/Draco
Warnings: Explicit Sex
Summary: Harry loses a bet, and pays the price.

OFFER

I believe this was [livejournal.com profile] femmequixotic idea. The other day, she had offered to write fics for anyone who donates 50AUD to any legitimate non-profit currently collecting funds to be used for Australian bushfire relief. (Like, Australia Red Cross, for example.) Now, some lovely people on my flist made similar offers and, unfortunately, what little money I could donate (very little) I already have, so I can't "buy" anything, and I absolutely hate I can't do more.

I do have time, though. But not that much time and, obviously, I have one crazy to-do list. And I have no idea whether anyone would be interested, but I want to at least TRY. So my offer (vaguely stolen from [livejournal.com profile] marguerite_26):

I will write a story of approximately 10 000 words (your choice of pairing, genre, plot, rating) to the highest bidder in the next 24 hours. Bids will be accepted until 1pm EST, Saturday, February 14. The story will be finished and posted by the end of April
. (Sorry, I'm just being a realist. I might write it sooner, but I don't want to promise stuff again and then be wretchedly late.)

Bidding starts at $10USD (Because that's half of what I donated. See, told you it was embarrassingly little).

If no one outbids this, then the first person who says "I'll give $10USD to the Australian Red Cross (for example)," and then does so, gets the fic.


Closed! Much love to [livejournal.com profile] thesamanthahope (and everyone else who offered to donate).

A Spam Warning, TO DO LIST, and Squee  
SPAM WARNING

TO DO LIST

Speaking of schedules I'm not keeping . . . I will write these fics. I will. But people whose birthdays are coming up? So sorry. I just HAVE to finish these first.

SQUEE!

Okay, I'll be creepy now, but I must build a shrine to Cheryl Dyson. I must and I will. Hell! I have time. Also, I must find [livejournal.com profile] zebrui and either strangle her or kiss her silly. See, I don't read WiPs. I don't. It's a rule! My rule! But nooooo, [livejournal.com profile] zebrui had to be all, "Oh you know Cheryl's newest fic? It's one of her best! *dreamy eyes* So awesome!" I lasted two days, but then Cheryl's glove!fic (ALSO a WiP, damnit, Dyson!) broke my resolve. So a WiP rec:

Title: Paradigm
Rating: Dyson (I hope this means someone will end up wearing a collar and a leash)
Summary: In my quest to write every single cliche in fandom, I unveil RENTBOY DRACO! Done my way. *grin*

Done my way.

That's the best way. :D

Oh do read this (if you're not already reading). It's awesomesauce. And yes, a WiP, but one of those WiPs where you're glad you can catch a breath after each chapter. Also, if you don't like rentboy fics, you'll like this even more. Harry is amazing, and Draco is ridiculously cute. And the sex! MY GOD! THE SEX! Teaser:
Should he live to be two hundred, he would never lose the image of Harry Potter hovering over him like a dark angel, black hair tipped in a halo from the dim lighting, glistening with sweat and gazing down at him with an expression Draco had never seen on anyone’s face before. If he had been a bigger fool, he would have sworn it was adoration.

IT IS ADORATION, DRACO! OKAY?

*dies of fangirl-y glee*

Oh and before I melt completely, just one more rec, art this time:

Title: Liar
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] reira_21
Characters: Draco/Harry
Rating: G

This is gorgeous and so incredibly sweet!


A huge thank you to everyone who pimped A Guide to Fanfiction! ♥

ETA: Oh fuck this no WiP business. [livejournal.com profile] bryoneybrynn just posted the first chapter of her newest H/D fic and I adore it already.

Title: Buyer Beware
Summary: Eighth year has begun and all our favourite people are back at Hogwarts. A "servent auction" is being held to raise money for children orphaned by the war. Harry Potter is up on the block. Who do you think will bid on him?

As Draco says: It was going to be fucking brilliant.

I read FIC! I happy! Brain mush!  
I spent my morning happily reading fics. (Yay!) So this is just a post to rec a bunch that made me REALLY happy. Er . . . the fact that they all happen to be high rated is a coincidence.

I realize that most of you probably read all of them, as these fics are old, but they're new to me and they deserve pimping. I've skipped a bunch of WiPs but will get back to them, and I've looked around [livejournal.com profile] hd_holidays and I'm afraid I'll have to skip many fics as I can't really read angst and then there's always my "The Weasleys' and Hermione's characterizations sensitivity" that made me skip a lot of fic (usually the long ones) since I don't like their characterizations (I don't mean outright bashing; no to that goes without saying). Sorry about that; sometimes just tiny little things bug me. I'm sure you all know how that is.

So.

Recs here! )

Also, there's a new community made and moderated by some awesome folks: [livejournal.com profile] harry_scorpius is a comm for . . . wait for it . . . Harry/Scorpius shippers. So if you like that ship, go and watch. (Hmm, that sounds pervy.)

And.

CULPRIT WANTED: Um, someone sent me an LJ Gift Certificate. Who? Why? Let me kiss you?

And.

Birthday Thanks, a Question and a Poll  
First, I had a job interview today (this job is not gonna happen, but I didn't actually expect to find a new job a mere week after I lost the old one, so all's well). But I was very busy freaking out. (Damn it, are all job interviews this stressful!?) So in the future, if I disappear for two or three days — I'm at home, freaking out.

Thanks

A huge thank you to everyone how wished me a happy birthday (and to everyone who said lovely words to me about my job loss). And thank you to all that posted birthday greetings or sent me a message. They all meant a lot.

Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] heathen_ursidae for drawing me an awesome Harry/Draco pic. And [livejournal.com profile] leochi for drawing me a gorgeous Harry. And thank you [livejournal.com profile] lotus_lizzy for writing me a sexy fic: Knicker Thief.

And thank you to everyone that promised to write me something. Take your time. *takes a moment to reflect on all the fics she owes* In fact, do be late; it'll make me feel better. (LOL!)

And thank you [livejournal.com profile] bryoneybrynn for LJ Paid Time. And thank you [livejournal.com profile] romaine24, [livejournal.com profile] zebrui, [livejournal.com profile] kisa829, [livejournal.com profile] kcstories, [livejournal.com profile] cleo_jay, [livejournal.com profile] lotus_lizzy, [livejournal.com profile] byaghro, [livejournal.com profile] tmkline, [livejournal.com profile] nightlo and [livejournal.com profile] kaykayen for sending me VGifts.

Hello, lovelies!  
So. Um. Job went bye-bye. This Monday.

So I was very busy this week. Emoness and wall-staring take time and care. Somehow, I managed to convince myself that I won't get laid off. I thought I should be optimistic; however, that worked just a little too well. So the layoff was a shock. I was so depressed these days, I took out my old Evanescence albums. Enough said.

I acquired a router the other day, but wasn't in the mood for internet (or any other kind of) entertainment.

But I actually logged in and checked my flist and inbox today, only to see messages and birthday posts, virtual gifts, art, fic and even an LJ Gift Certificate and LJ paid time (!!!!) so now I'm grinning like a lunatic for the first time this month. (Well, this year, technically.)

I didn't plan to be online for a bit longer, but you have lured me out of my emo hole.

So, I'm back. Though, officially, I'm back tomorrow, because now I'm going out with some friends to have a little birthday fun. (And to not spend money because: no job + birthday = Faith gets everything for free. Hey, I'm an optimist. Glass half-full and all that.)

So this is a quick note to tell you all that I adore you. And I missed you like crazy and you're AWESOME. And I will reply to every message, to those wonderful comments you left on my last post, and to gifts and posts with a goofy smile on my face.

Also, I'll make a proper thank-you post tomorrow. That post will probably contain a lot of little hearts and exclamation points. So I apologize in advance.

And I'll make another post on Sunday. I think, on Sunday. Er ... see, I was bored, but was too nervous to write or read. However, I had to do something that is not even remotely connected to my now-ex-job. So I've written an ... essay? Meta? A meta-essay? Metessay? Yes, a metessay.

And the long metessay is long. It now stands at 13 000 words. No, really. And it's pretentiously called: A Beginner's Guide to Fanfiction. I've been writing it ever since this post was made on [livejournal.com profile] harrydraco. I thought about that post, and then thought some more. And now I have a metessay. It's a compilation of links and thoughts on SPaG, writing, style, text editors, coding, LJ fic posting, helpful writing communities, real essays written by smarter people and so on and on and on ... It's meant to encourage and inspire fandom newcomers to write and post. But I think there are some useful links there for people who merely want to reflect on their writing.

So beware. A metessay is coming.


I have to go and get ready now. I just posted to tell you (because it was urgent) that I love you.

... and now I'll have Stevie Wonder's I Just Called to Say I Love You stuck in my mind for the rest of the day.

And for the record: I'm fine. A little lost and a little sad, but fine. Hey, I'm young and, if I dare say so (and obviously I dare), not stupid. So screw you, former job!

I hope you are all well (and employed). *hugs*

Before you start wondering ...  
So. I thought that maybe no one would notice I'm nowhere to be seen these days. I know quite a few of you are off somewhere and LJ was kinda quiet during the holidays. But I should tell you what's going on with me.

Uh. So basically, there's some talk at work about layoffs. Sadly, to most of you, this situation is nothing new. Rough times. So far my name hadn't been mentioned, but I'm still an inexperienced new girl and I'm thinking if there's a let's-fire-these-people list, I'm on it. And apparently there is such a list.

Now, I'm still hopeful. Things were going really well for me lately, but that doesn’t have to mean anything. Anyway, sometime this month, I'll know for sure whether I still have a job or not. Until then I want to keep my focus. And keeping my focus means no internet.

I had some internet troubles last week; I didn't know it, but my router was dying. It's dead now. (It was actually killed by Doctor Who. I'm just saying. So I still haven't seen the Xmas special. Damnit.) Of course, I could get another one ASAP, but I'm choosing not to. See, those of you who know me, know that I say shit like 'Oh man, I won't have much time, so I won't be around, and I'll write less. No, really,' all the time. And then in two days here I am with three new ficlets. *facepalm* Clearly, I'm unable to stay away. If my router hadn't combusted, I'd have to give it to my sister and make her hide it or something.

I'm trying to focus on my job and go through my options. If in a week or two they tell me I'm fired, I want to be able to think, It's okay, I have a game plan. At this point, it would be much too easy to try to suppress my anxiety by writing and reading H/D goodness, but if I read one fic, then I'll want to read another one and then ten others, and then I'll want to write some and that's just not gonna help me right now. Plus, I'll just feel guilty. I'm being an angel at work. A lot of times I honestly have nothing to do (which actually worries me at this point) but I'm eagerly pretending I'm REALLY busy.

This ain't gonna end well. But at least I'm not trying to escape reality as usual.

Either way, my absence won't be long but it will be complete. I'll know my fate in a week or two. And if I still have a job, I'll be back here to celebrate. And if I lose it, then I WILL escape reality for at least a week before my game plan execution. Hey, I have enough money stashed away to finance the unholy three for a while. (The unholy three being coffee, smokes and internet, obviously.)

And now I have to go because I'm at my sister's and the weird little creatures she calls kids are giving me the stink eye. But before I go, I want to say sorry to everyone that asked me something, I'll get back to you. And thank you, [livejournal.com profile] lotus_lizzy, for the virtual bear hug. I just saw it now. *hugs* You're a doll. ♥

I was gonna disable comments on this post, mostly because I probably won't be checking back until I know where my real life is heading, but then I remembered I'm always sad when someone disables comments. And I don't want to make sensitive people like me sad.

Bye. Love ya.

♥!  
First, I haven't been online much for the last few days. Ridiculously, not because I was busy -- what with Christmas time and all (there were a couple of family moments, but mostly I was home, celebrating the return of my appetite and ability to drink alcohol. And also, forcing a friend to watch Merlin with me. Heh. That was fun.) but because there was something terribly wrong with my internet connection. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. I tried using dial-up but that thing almost gave me a heart attack.

Second, please forgive a poor girl for her cheap, eCard ways. Since real cards aren't an option (because I'm paranoid by nature, not because I think you're all a bunch of maniacs and after you learn my address will swim across oceans in order to rob and murder me) I wanted to send y'all VGifts. Cos VGifts are a bit cooler than eCards. But unfortunately, I mean, fortunately, there are so many people who were so nice to me this year, I'd have to spend more than I have. Or go through my flist and be all, "Okay, this one deserves a paid present, and this one doesn't." But forcing myself to think like that would just make me sad. Maybe next year, my financial situation improves or you'll stop being nice to me. (I hope it won't be the latter.) O.O

Third, thank you to all that wished me happy holidays through a message, an eCard or an email. Thank you, [livejournal.com profile] leochi for drawing me a lovely pic and [livejournal.com profile] lijahlover for writing me a ficlet. And thank you, [livejournal.com profile] dirty_darella for your beautiful H/D card. Also, thank you, [livejournal.com profile] marguerite_26 for the fluffy polar bear, [livejournal.com profile] nightlo for a cookie, and [livejournal.com profile] scrtkpr for some hot chocolate. ♥ And thank you, [livejournal.com profile] taradiane for yet more hot chocolate!

And lastly, I saw Twilight yesterday. It's okay, I got drunk first. Which might explain why I left the movies with a crush on Charlie Swan and an urge to ship Charlie/Carlisle. :/

I hope you all had lovely holidays. In this LJ I'm apparently still waiting for Christmas, as I'm still writing advent drabbles. *facepalm*

Squeeeeeee post of squeeeeee!  
I love Christmas. I should've pimped this sooner, but obviously, I don't know where my head is these days. So this is what I got:

Mistletoe Misdirection (PG-13) a cute little ficlet by [livejournal.com profile] softly_sweetly.

My True Love Gave To Me (PG-13) an adorably fluffy little ficlet by [livejournal.com profile] enchanted_jae.

Advent Angel a cute little pic drawn by the lovely [livejournal.com profile] leochi.

A then there's this pic of Santa Draco for my story Draco Christmas (PG-13) drawn by the ever awesome [livejournal.com profile] yumekutteikt.

Also, OH MY GOD, you have to read this. [livejournal.com profile] maja_li wrote me a, wait for it, Harry Potter/Twilight crossover, containing Draco/Edward/Harry threesome!(!!!!!!!!!) GOOD GAWD, that was hot! Club Nights (NC-17). ♥

Also-also, this isn't for me, but it made me happy nonetheless:

[livejournal.com profile] dysonrules is posting Christmas drabbles made of awesomesauce.

Aaaaaaaaaand now! *drumroll* OMG! Okay, in case you didn't know, and I'm sure you did, [livejournal.com profile] bryoneybrynn IS made of rainbows and awesome and win! And cookies! And shiny, sparkly stuff!

Because what did I find in my inbox today? A pic for my story Dear Santa drawn by [livejournal.com profile] dirty_darella (OMG, sweetie, I love you too so much!) as requested by the one and only Bryoney!


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

WOW.

Click for Bound!Harry with jam smeared on all the correct places! (NC-17) Duh!) )

Squeee! Thank you so much, Bryoney! I adore you! ♥

Oh and random: I had the strangest dream tonight. Joker (Jack Nicholson) was chasing me around trying to kill me. And I tried to defend myself with a gun, but the gun was jammed. By a piece of paper, like a freaking printer. But then I managed to defeat him, by asking Joss Whedon, who was shooting Dollhouse nearby, to make a video of him. This distressed Joker into oblivion for some reason. Gosh, that dream was SCARY!
