| evening out |
[Nov. 6th, 2009|09:54 pm] |
This evening the lovely alisanne was in town, so we met up for dinner and tea and much chatter of fandom and other topics. It was quite a nice time. Now I must prepare for my weekend adventure in Austin, plus try to make some progress on my art coming due. |

I want to do a fun log. So if anyone wants to play with any of my characters, let me know. I'm still busy studying for this OB test, but I need the break/distraction/whatever. |

| PROGRESS! |
[Nov. 5th, 2009|10:45 pm] |
I've been so preoccupied with RL, I feel like I've hardly been around my journal(s). I've been reading small fics and keeping an eye on you all, but mostly either running around to the gym or various heathcare appointments, or fretting over my resume, the seemingly endless process.
Today I finally feel like it's DONE!!! Oh, there will still be tweaks, and multiple variations and formats and postings and cover letters and and and, but I finally read it and feel like it's good.
What an amazing feeling, to be suitably impressed with my own career! After all the effort my miserable (nearly former!) boss devoted to convincing me I'm incompetent, it feels really great to rediscover myself.
It seemed impossible to ever get ready to make this change, and I still can't see how all of it will work out, but it things are lining up, and change.

No writing today on the Nano story. I was up early for me and off running around doing sales calls. This meant I had no clue what was happening in Texas until the news came on at 5. To say the least, I was shocked and am wondering how flisters in that area and with relatives in the military are doing.
Tomorrow marks the one week anniversary and I will be spending a bit of time with the parish Priest at the pet cemetery. Hopefully this will help me stop being so easily upset.
so, how is everyone else doing? |

Thanks to the lovely alicit I have a Harvest egg! I am also trying to match up my other dragons by pairing so if these don't gender correctly they are up for trade, if anyone cares for one. They are fairly common dragons with the exception of the Black and Green dragons.

In case you're not following fall_fantasia ... and if you aren't, then you should be ... there's a lovely Charlie/Draco story that has a healthy side of Bill/Neville that posted today, and it's all mine:
A Series of Unfortunate Misunderstandings
It is a lovely first time story, with Charlie's impulsiveness and a tendency to jump to conclusions leading down a lovely, if incorrect, garden path. Go, read it, and give the mystery author some love! |

| Week Seven snarry_ldws Drabbles are up! |
[Nov. 2nd, 2009|02:25 pm] |

snarry_ldws
Week Seven drabbles are up! This time the topic is: Romance. The phrase is: 'disfavor, disfavoring, or disfavorable'. We're down to four drabbles this week, and still in the running are alisanne, joanwilder, la_dissonance, and literaryspell.
Go HERE to read and vote. Awww, c'mon, it's ROMANCE this week, and you know you wanna read them!
Like last week, anyone who correctly guesses which is mine will get a drabble of their pairing of choice. It's becoming easier to get a drabble from me, you realize, as the odds are now 1 in 4. (Reply to this entry; comments are screened.) |

| Fic: All Hallows Eve by venturous |
[Nov. 2nd, 2009|10:43 am] |
a bit late, but, hey, let's keep the magic going. Originally written for severus_sighs Anniversery drabble fest
Title: All Hallows Eve Author: venturous Pairings: Mentor!Snape and 1st year Harry; past Severus, Lily; Severus/Harry Rating: PG Word count: 6 x 100 Warning: flangst, tears. slash implied after age 18 Notes: thanks to beta spidermoth for speedy work. I tinkered only a tiny bit with canon time: in HPSS Harry encounters the Mirror in mid November of his first year.
All Hallows Eve
October 31, 1991 – Hogwarts
He gazed, transfixed, into the Mirror of Erised. Of all the revelations during Harry's first weeks at Hogwarts this was the most profound: his parents had been Wizards, well-loved, smart, and beautiful. Yet they were just as dead as all the times Dudley taunted him. It was baffling. He tried to feel through his confusion. They smiled at him from the hazy mirror, and he wished he could step inside and be enfolded in their arms. ( Read more... )
