By now many of you have seen or heard about the situation with HPFandom and Hex Files. At this moment in time, HSSHSH is only currently located in its full capacity at The Silver Snitch 2. AFF continues to maintain that SLS does not exist as a member. Although you can still access the story there, it is missing the 2 most current chapters. It was decided that we needed one place that would be able to house everything, just in case of possible loss of data and have come up with a solution.

We have opened a community on Dreamwidth to house the fic and all of the side pieces. We will be uploading the entirety of HSSHSH as well as all the fics from Stirs at this new location.

I know... another comm to join? Well, maybe. DW has the largest posting limit of the three journaling sites and it can be accessed by OpenID as well, so we felt that this would a perfect place to house Hols in its entirety.

This is an unusual recipe for Chocolate Pudding, in that, you bake it in the oven rather than on the stove.  Doing so eliminates the need for cornstarch, and makes for a very silky pudding..

Weekly Wrap Up will be fast today as Monday is being a Monday. *growls*
( Ali's list of fics: November 16th to November 22nd )
And RL is conspiring to make my WsIP impossible to finish. *sigh*
( Ali’s list of WsIP )
Coming up:
Yes, I am running adventdrabbles again this year. I shall be dusting off the com after Thanksgiving. I'll be offering prompts as an option again and I'll prolly be putting up a post to ask for ideas soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

Up next? Snarry. *g*

Okay, so we've covered SSC, RACK and consent along with Negotiation. Now we're going to look at – hopefully – just what power exchange is, contracts and limits. I say hopefully because I have no idea how long this post will be as I've just begun writing it. ( Let's start with Contracts. )

Whew. Think I'm gonna stop there as I've probably given way too much information. I ended up covering things I hadn't intended to because they apply, so limits will be in another post. Again, questions, comments and discussion are welcome.

Also, the_minx_17 has done a post on Vanilla, Kink and Lifestyle.

It's not quite 7:30 on Monday morning. I'm sitting in our office/library/spare room/box storage room at my desk, reading email and surfing the the net, drinking tea and trying not to watch a cat attempt (and eventually fail) to expel a hairball, and occasionally checking my work laptop to make sure nothing new has arrived while I wasn't looking, because I'm not the only one up this morning.

IOW, it's a normal Monday morning for me.

There were times last week when I thought 'I should write something about that' but the time passed and I no longer remember what seemed so interesting.

We're continuing to work on getting Luna to eat (having completely given up on the kidney diet food after she refused to eat for two days when we tried to feed it to her). Like Ozone before her, she's more than happy to eat strained turkey baby food (but doesn't care for strained chicken).

And now I should get up from my desk and get ready for work, completely ignoring my inner 5 year old, who keeps whinging but I don't wanna.

Have a great day, ya'll.

This is the story I wrote for iulia_linnea in the fall_fantasia fest on InsaneJournal.

Sometimes when I'm assigned a prompt for a fest, I look at the recipient's likes and dislikes and realise that any story and/or pairing they're going to really enjoy is going to be out of my comfort zone. That's definitely the case with this story. Still, that being said, I'm very proud of this story and hope that I did justice to its themes and to those who have gone through and are going through something similar to what I put Harry through.

Because, just as there must be queers in the Harry Potter universe, so must there also be transgendered people and those who struggle with gender identity.

Summary: After killing Voldemort, Harry discovers that Dumbledore kept one last secret. And this one requires him to make a decision that affects everything.

I need help! I plan on writing a grand and glorious teacher!au fic for Merlin. My question is this: what is the hierarchy in the school staff in public education in the UK?

For example in public education in the US we have: support staff, special education, general education teachers, vice principal, principal, superintendent and other administrators, school board and upward into the state and national government.

I have attempted Googlefu to no good results.

Anyone know?

Lots of love,
Me

We've discussed what SSC, RACK and consent means. Today we're going to look at some other terms – negotiation, limits, contracts - break those down, and hopefully provide those reading with a better understanding of what those terms mean. ( Let's talk about Negotiation first. )

Questions? Comments? Feel free to discuss. Those in the community, your comments are not only welcomed, but valued.

Here's something I did for a Holiday exchange over at Watson's Woes on Livejournal. I'm rather proud of it.


Title: Friends Only Banner
Author: [info]chibitoaster
Characters: Holmes, Watson
Rating: G
Notes: For the Holiday Wishes - Extra Wish #2:
I wish for ART: Winter - not Christmas, winter - themed Friends-only banner, blue/silver/white/grey/etc. color scheme if possible. Snow would be awesome. If using screencaps, Granada Watson(s) would be a plus.

I don't know exactly what size I ought to have made the banner. I hope you can resize it. If not, just let me know, and I'll do it. Hope you like! It was a lot of fun to do!! ^_^

Not much to report from this weekend. Got a great new haircut - fierce! Started watching Veronica Mars - loving it. Had a big-ish fight with the best friend - still not quite sorted - will be days of oddness before it is all back to the status quo. Boring. Just get over it already - you know it means nothing in the scheme of things.

Oh - I made Quinoa & Cumin Hash Browns for breakfast - they totally rocked. Yummy.

The hot DVD store guy told me I was coming in too often and I was not to come back for at least a week. Bless him. Then told me he has the same problem at his favourite bookshop - and I'm like - snap - I work in a bookshop and have thousands of books. Then he had to go serve some other customer - oh well - tbc next time.

Now I'm starting to get serious Sunday Night Blues. I hate Sunday nights - I always sleep so badly. I'm lucky if I get 3 hours.
