Re: I can DO 200 words, right? *snicker*
You've heard the Charlie Brown story of the Great Pumpkin, how Linus goes out to the pumpkin patch and waits. My idea was that it's a Muggle understanding of the Great Pumpking, a being that rises from a pumpkin patch to grant one All Hallow's Eve wish. A gourd ex machina if you will.
As you can see, I have a warped sense of humor and I do like giggles with sexy slash, or pre-slash, as long as you're having fun and they are too!
