Random things, and art recs [25 Nov 2009|05:00pm] snegurochka_lee [ mood | productive ] [ music | Heart - Alone ] FACT: When you are used to writing antagonistic pairings, writing friendship pairings is hard. And features way too many OOC fights before the sex. :/ FACT: I heard some old Heart song on... IDK, a bathroom cleaner commercial or something the other day, and now I can't get it out of my head. Also, it has now become the soundtrack for my smutty_claus story. I... don't know if this is a good thing or not. ... but man, those chicks could rock, riiiight? *air guitar* FACT: The S.O. and I just heroically got out, by exploiting a technicality, of a horrible Thanksgiving dinner we were supposed to go to tomorrow, hosted by the distant relations of a pseudo-acquaintance. Yes! *fist pump* Pyjamas and bacon sandwiches on the couch by ourselves, here we come. Thank God. Americans, I love you and appreciate that you love Thanksgiving so much, but honestly, I usually have better things to do on my birthday or close to than hang out with other people's families who invite the foreigners out of pity. I appreciate the gesture, but, no. Just, no. :) FACT: Fabulous art recs are fabulous! Before I head back into writing lockdown, here, have some art! Till Death Do Us Part by Anon at hp_darkfest (Harry/Ginny, Harry/Draco, R: blood, character death [Ginny]) Mind the warnings, please: this is a very dark piece, thematically. It stunned the breath right out of me with its implications. It made me super uncomfortable and want to weep for humanity, in a way, but it's also an astonishing piece, both artistically and conceptually. Very highly recommended, but not easy to take in. Pensive by stellamoon (Draco, G) Utterly stunning. a;lskdjf. I cannot even put into words how gorgeous and erotic this portrait is. As You Witch by Anon at radish_love (Harry/Luna, PG) Yeah, ANON. *coughcough* Just about as anon as the first piece up there. :D There is no reason in the universe for this piece not having about 8 times as many comments as it currently does. It's fabulous. Teddy and Victoire by ericahpfa (both PG) Erica is drawing next-gen portraits!!! *runs around flailing* "Looking for these, Potter?" by tbranch (Harry/Pansy, R) Because I never, ever get tired of tbranch's Pansy, or Harry/Pansy. *purr* Lily/Lorcan/Lysander by _aurora_sky_ (NWS LIKE WHOA OKAY. Also, incest) Because this post did not have nearly enough porn in it. :D Well, this isn't just porn. It's actually really gorgeous, with the positioning and the lighting and things like that. *nod* It's also hot like burning, okay, and I don't even care what you think of the next-gen characters or who Lorcan and Lysander are or whatever. HOT LIKE BURNING. See something you like? Leave a bit of feedback for a talented artist today! *runs back to writing* 3 escaped azkaban are you innocent?

Fic: Light as Iron, Singed as Pearl (Harry/Draco, NC-17) [24 Nov 2009|05:13pm] snegurochka_lee [ mood | pleased ] Title: Light as Iron, Singed as Pearl Author: snegurochka_lee Pairing: Harry/Draco Rating: NC-17 Word Count: ~13,800 Warnings: Dom/sub. Bondage. EWE. Summary: The owner of the elite BDSM club M. had not gained his reputation as the most coveted Dominant on the scene by taking on just any riff-raff submissive who asked. It would take an unexpected letter to convince him to accept a new client, but it might turn out to be the biggest mistake he ever made. Notes: Written for hd_career_fair last month for this prompt. "Thank you" does not begin to cover my gratitude to the divine marguerite_26, whose handholding, beta work and modly prodding went well beyond the call of duty. When I was tempted to make Harry Minister for Magic, she also gets the credit for very wisely suggesting the position he has here instead. Thank you also to everyone who read, commented on, and recc'ed it at the fest. ♥ ! Originally posted anonymously here, where you can still read it in one file, if you prefer.

Lockdown, and Lee finally figures out what LDWS stands for... [21 Nov 2009|06:01pm] snegurochka_lee [ mood | working ] Urf. I am in writing lockdown until smutty_claus is done, because *draws hearts around story* but also *stabs it with a fork* a;slkjdfs. But! Had to reappear for a moment to point out that the first-ever Harry/Scorpius Last Drabble Writer Standing competition at harryscorp100 just started. Yes, I have a soft spot for Harry/Scorpius, although no, I'm not in this competition. Just an interested observer. I only recently figured out a.) what LDWS things are, and b.) how they work, so now I want everyone to do them. :) So, there are 15 writers in it, and each week they get a prompt, and then they write a drabble (defined here as under 500 words or so, I think or, in any case, not 100 on the dot), send it in, and they are all posted anonymously mid-week. Then readers vote for their favourite, reveals happen on Sunday, and a new weekly round begins, with one less person. Fifteen weeks later, we have a winner. Fun, yes? Maybe I'm just addicted to reality TV shows wherein voting for favourites occurs? Hm. Anyway, I point out this week's Week One drabbles because they are all super good. The first prompt was 'Age Disparity,' so all entries have something to do with the age difference. Scorpius is underage in some but not in others, so read the warnings and go with whatever floats your boat. I had a great time over coffee the other day reading through them and trying to decide on a favourite. No, I'm not always in favour of competitive stuff in fandom, and yeah, it sucks that someone has to be eliminated every week, but hopefully all the participants are okay with that and know not to take it personally. Anyway, if it appeals to you, go have a read through over there and vote! In other news, I just read through a super awesome story for snupin_santa this morning that made me fall in love with Snupin all over again. Swoon! *runs back to smutty_claus* Hope all your holiday fest stuff is in and you lot are having a relaxing weekend! are you innocent?

Fic: Mr Potter Lives for a Day (Albus Severus, others, PG-13) [15 Nov 2009|06:56pm] snegurochka_lee [ mood | accomplished ] Title: Mr Potter Lives for a Day Author: snegurochka_lee Characters: Albus Severus-centric, with a bit of implied Albus Severus/Scorpius and cameos by James, Lily, and portrait!Snape. Rating: PG-13 Word count: 4,800 Warnings: Dark themes, but nothing tangible enough to be its own warning. Next-gen Sorting might be slightly AU, depending on your point of view. Summary: Albus wakes up on his seventeenth birthday determined to make the most of it. Notes: Written for angelofcaffeine at ownficfest, out of an idea I originally had while working on last spring's nextgendarkfest. The lovely recipient for that fest wanted more overt pairing-ness and this wanted to be mostly gen, so I set it aside and wrote something else. It was nice to have the chance to revisit this idea, though. Many thanks to kennahijja for the fest idea and encouragement, and to florahart for the read-through. Thanks also to everyone who read, commented on, and recc'ed it at the fest. ♥ ! Originally posted anonymously here.
