How The Dark Lord Stole Christmas by alyxbradford

Hilarious. Especially the ending!

All short and sweet, all contain non-major-plot spoilers for Deathly Hallows:

Charmed Waffles And Beyond by imaginary_iby - Remus/Tonks

We Made It! by imaginary_iby - Remus/Tonks

Pointless by fernwithy

600 pages, about 5 hours frantic reading for me. :)

I thought it was a good ending to the series. (ie. "Wow...")

On the whole, I enjoyed the story, the storytelling, the way she tied things up. Okay, so maybe the epilogue was a bit much. (Personal opinion.)

JKR's come a long way in ten years as a writer, and obviously that brief stint without an editor during her writing of Order Of The Phoenix has been duly rectified.

If anyone wants to discuss spoilers when they've finished, go for it. I'm all up for being spammitied and hijacked on the discussion front!

ETA: Harry Potter And The Book Disguises: no spoilers, just a bunch of book jackets for those who might be ashamed of being caught reading the HP books in public...

Found this over on one of the JournalFen comms:

Pride And Prejudice - Harry Potter Style

And The Original Trailer (if you want to watch Knightley and McFadyen go at it).

*giggles madly*

I was checking out the glockart community (which I tend to go without checking for looooong periods of time, then try to madly catch up on).

gwemegil, you might like this pic of Batgirl.

R/Hr and H/G fen might like the fic "Believe That Magic Works by schocolate (10 chapters, the author's version of "the Horcrux Hunt")

I strongly recommend The Drawbles Meme, in particular the Harry Potter/Les Miserables, Firefly/archery, Supernatural/X-Files, Red Dwarf/Beatles, Naruto/Calvin&Hobbes, Phedre no Delaunay, and Draco/Drusilla bondage...

And pixiesio and madjm wrote me SGA fic! Choices (Sio) and Just A Guy (Jamie).

*SMOOCHES*

Love you guys.

Name a pairing or character (that I'm familiar with, in a fandom I'm familiar with) and I will write the first paragraph or segment of a story for it.

For coltsbane (II): ( Mini!WW/Mini!Bats )

For elaran and ssmith_12: ( Sam/Jack )

For elaran (II): ( Hermione and Blaise )

Still going!

A few quiet days, mostly spent netsurfing and making some icons. Nothing special.

In case you've been under a rock, the HP fandom has gone batshit insane over Half-Blood Prince. Observe the attendant iconage.

I'm not kidding here, this insanity comes complete with abuse, letter-writing campaigns, and wails, moans, rants, and gnashes of despair. Think 'Meridian' times one hundred. Yes. That bad.

I also have two HP icons that I made while I was thinking on other things.

( not actually spoilery )

Artwork in the second one is by caladan_dd.

Otherwise, I am finding it very difficult to write right now. Depression and lethargy for starters. And the fact that I'm no longer surrounded by people from a specific fandom, which tends to egg me on.

I'm worried about posting too much and boring the pants off people. And considering that several of you keep up with my writing journal, I really don't want to spam the living daylights out of you. The downside of an LJ: being considerate of others' feelings.

Right now, I am in desperate need of someone to prod my muse - particularly with the original fic. I have people who can prod with SG-1, and people who can prod with SGA. Nobody's yet managed to really inspire me to BSG, Dr. Who, or House, and I haven't touched HP or JL in a while and don't really plan to either.

Yanno, more than anything else, I miss the feeling of having a story grip me by the throat and refuse to let go until it's done. It would be nice to have that again.

At the start of the year, one of my year's writing goals was to have a novel written by Christmas and we're into the second half of the year, so I'd better get a move on. I have the story ideas, I'm just feeling bleh.

Is there a pill you can take to 'un-bleh' yourself?

Interesting. Very interesting.

I sauntered out and bought a copy this morning, then read it in about five hours. Yes, I read way too fast for my own good.

Unspoiler: I prefer this story to OotP, which just seemed way too over-dramatic. And JKR definitely overused the capslock.

( spoilers for Half-Blood Prince )

Definitely interesting.

Am up for discussion on HBP by all and sundry.

(a.k.a. "Happy Chinese New Year!")

And, for Chinese New Year, a fanfic that's even related to things Chinese!

FANDOM: Harry Potter
TITLE: Red String
AUTHOR: Sel
SUMMARY: They'd never been 'ordinary'.
RATING: PG-13
PAIRING: Harry/Luna

I'm tempted to dedicate this to unanon, but I think she might have been looking for badfic. I'm kinda hoping that this does not apply.
