In 2009, elethian resolves to...
Go to the potions every month.
Spend less time on snack.
Go to parseltongue every Sunday.
Admit my true feelings to artisticentropy.
Give up snarky gits.
Connect with my inner merlin.
Get your own New Year's Resolutions:


1. I thought Potions was twice weekly? I don't think I ought to skive off seven out of eight classes.
2. Hell no.
3. Um... I guess this means I'll have to join one of those snake-handling churches.
4. Uh... [info]artisticentropy is pretty okay, I guess?
5. O.O .... HELL no! This script clearly doesn't know who it's dealing with.
6. No thanks. Don't need another fandom. (Although in lowercase this is a type of hawk or falcon, I think, which might be interesting if we're talking about totemism.)

fic: Cold Hands, Warm Hearts (Severus, Aurora Sinistra, gen/friendship/something, PG)

Happy birthday, [info]lilyevans_snape!

I be a sneaky pirate ninja. I've been biting my tongue about this for several days instead of hinting, even resisting the considerable temptation when you remarked on the Sev/Reg drabbles about "Christmas come early". Hee.

Title: Cold Hands, Warm Hearts
Pairing/Characters: young Professor Severus Snape, Aurora Sinistra; brief mention of past Severus/Lily
Genre: Gen? Friendship? Whatever the het equivalent is of "pre-slash"?
Rating: PG
Words: ~3600
Summary: Oooooo, Severus, I think she likes you!
Warnings/Contains: Unbetaed, unBritpicked, not as snappily witty as my usual fare (hah! hear that? that's the sound of one's own horn tooting), just a random bit of fantasy I tried not to think too hard about (but still failed in some places; you know me).

My husband and me, on playing Kingdom Hearts 2 (don't ask about my current screen name):

Stygian says:
and... it's shower time now that I pried myself away from plot.. grrr
stupid fighting alongside mickey, and then fighting alongside Axel, who sacrifices himself for Sora over his boy-love crush on Roxas [tl; dr on the wiki articles: Roxas is a kind of heartless mirror-image of Sora; Axel is a member of an organization devoted to controlling some dark monsters and basically trying to take over everything]

the problem with gourmet poutine says:
lol
trufax
i dunno, axel's kinda grown on me
he's annoying, but charming somehow
like Reno
red hair included

Stygian says:
yeah.. Axel is actually my favorite of the organization.. I mean, he was in the last one too, I think..
although I kind of liked Larxene's attitude..
but Axel is actually likable.. most of theorganization don't have much character development, is part of it.

the problem with gourmet poutine says:
true

Stygian says:
Axel, well, apart from him betraying the rebels, and then betraying the organization when they decide Roxas needs to die to make Sora whole so Sora can kill the heartless so the organization can get to kingdom hearts and all become real.... well, he's also kinda openly gay
probably never consumated, but he's totally in lurve with Roxas.
Roxas makes him feel all warm and squishy inside, as if he might actually be a real person

the problem with gourmet poutine says:
lol.
that couldn't possibly just be platonic?
not that i'm against slash goggles

Stygian says:
I dunno..

the problem with gourmet poutine says:
as you probably know
i'm just saying it's not normally like Disney to imply teh ghey

Stygian says:
Axel looks into Sora's eyes and sighs all dreamily before dying

the problem with gourmet poutine says:
hehehe

Stygian says:
so uhh... Sora = Harry, Roxas = Lily?

the problem with gourmet poutine says:
gawd, i already went there
i refrained from typing "look at me"

Stygian says:
and really, Axel is the double agent, who changes sides to save Roxas..
wowsers.

the problem with gourmet poutine says:
i'd point out his fashion choices but they all wear that uniform
lawl
this is silly, you realise that

Very intriguing post by [info]baxil on "Muse", "the muse" (and a shaper-of-ideas he calls "Doot", short for "deuteragonist"), the creative/writing process, NaNo, and his adventures in an ongoing shared setting he writes in.

playlist meme (6 Severus/Regulus drabbles)

A while back I tried doing this meme:

1. Pick a character/pairing/fandom.

2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random/shuffle.

3. Write a drabblet/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterward, no matter how whacked out your drabble seems.


I wanted to do ten, as it seems a usual number, but it seems I'm never going to get around to finishing it. Some of them are pretty dumb, besides, so I won't be posting those (never minding the rules), but here's six. G - PG-13 (or maybe the lightest of possible Rs), some genish and some suggestive, bits of humour, no warnings except some drunkenness in one. Read more... )

some o' them there summaries

Note: I unsubscribed from the full-HP feed on FFN that was giving me so much fodder. I just couldn't take it; ~900+ posts a week had me feeling overwhelmed and like this was a chore rather than something I did every now and then for fun. So I will still be making posts like this every so often as I do still have a feed set up for character=Severus Snape, but that's a much slower stream.

Disclaimer: Do not take too seriously; I am not necessarily saying the fics in question are bad ones. Sometimes they are horrible, but more often they are just mediocre, and sometimes quite okay, but they all had something in their summaries that I found goofy, misused, or amusing in some other way.

harrys living in a mad world. but for how long?

Depends on whether he makes friends with Randal McMurphy.

severus and harry are trapped in "la'trap" hotel and not sure why. but they were both dropped there with no clue as how to get out... it's going to be hell staying cooped up with each other..or is it?

A name like "La Trap" wasn't a warning sign?

Harry Potter was Dead. Or at least, just as good as.

Harry Potter was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that.

I betaed two pieces for [info]snapelyholidays and I just sent an email saying I'm available to proofread stuff for [info]snarry_holidays. What am I, weird?

... probably.

(btw, if anyone cares, I have an "open door" policy on this: time permitting, I'm generally always available to beta stuff.)
