is up with me and my sinuses and tummy? ( Whining )

Thanks to some morning aside I can't remember, I have this running through my head:
I love Jimmy Buffett.
Makes me think of of a picture a fb friend posted of freaking Twilight fabric, with the werewolf clan in nothing but tight shorts (against a night-sky shadow of a traditional Hollywood werewolf) beside Edward looking over his shoulder in a winsome way. Hilarious and homoerotic liek whoa, all at the same time!
(Sorry I can't link you to the pic. Privacy settings, you know. But it was very much in the same vein as this.
*
On another front, do any of you remember the title to the SS/HG story with a pooka in it? Geoff and I re-watched Harvey last night, and it made me want to reread that fic.
*
And... I think I'm gonna go back to bed now. Read myself back to sleep and hopefully wake up feeling less whingy.
Good luck to all who have the deadline looming. May the muses be cooperative.

TPP Auction fic!
Aug. 29th, 2012 09:11 amI finally (finally, finally) wrote up the ficlet that Ayerf bought for the TPP auction early last year. She prompted me to write a sequel for her drabble series, "Deadly Truth".
So, here it is: Deadly Consequences.
So, here it is: Deadly Consequences.
So, I have decided to not sign up for the
sshg_exchange this year. I felt like too much of a problem last year for my (and I dare say the mods') liking to want to join in the fray this time around.
However, I have some prompts for anyone looking to pad their own prompt listings, should they appeal.
( *bats eyelashes* )
And also, I'm on the quiz! Whee!

Reveal Squee!
Dec. 7th, 2011 02:02 pmI know I've been largely silent about the exchange, as well as not reviewing on the exchange, but that's mostly because I just haven't had the time to read the exchange.
Fortunately, I got art for my gift, and beautiful art, at that. And now I know I get to thank
sabrebabe for the stunning piece of NSFW craftsmanship and love. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It's gorgeously done, and I'm still marveling at all the detailing you put in there!
And I can reveal that I wrote, "Room by Room". Thanks go to
southernwitch69 for her fabulous betaing. And, well, I have to also thank
kribu for unwittingly helping out with all of her talk on early Dr. Who, which, with wiki, gave me a good enough gist to cover the larger of the holes in my knowledge of the show. So thank you both, ladies.
Mostly, however, I would like to thank the mods. I was relatively high maintenance this round, and I am sorry about that. Thank you for your patience, and... your patience, and for being... well, moderate. I am deeply appreciative, and would even say that I'm in your debt. So, thank you
shiv5468,
scatteredlogic and
ginny_weasley31for all you did for me personally, but also thank you very, very much for taking on the task of keeping this corner of fandom alive and well. ~curtsies deeply~

Fic: Shelter - Chapter 1
May. 9th, 2011 03:32 pmPrologue is here (LJ) and here (TPP) and here (Ashwinder).
This chapter is up on the two archives as well. All future chapters will be posted directly to the archives (with links provided here, of course).
AN: First, this chapter includes the depiction of torture. A good portion of this chapter comes from the Malfoy Manor chapter, only from Hermione's point of view, so the torture is right there. Should you be squeamish, I suggest you skip this chapter.
Second, because it is from the Malfoy Manor chapter, and that chapter is central to the prompt and plot, I lifted most of the dialogue directly from the book. I tried my best to rephrase everything else, but basically, anything you recognize is JKRs.
Third, thanks again go to Septentrion and Ayerf for the proofing.

Fic: Shelter
May. 3rd, 2011 01:16 pmThis is, as of now, a WIP fic for Ayerf. I started it three (four?) years ago for the SS/HG exchange, and when I got about halfway through I realized there was no way I was going to finish it in time, so I did art instead. But, I liked the idea enough that I hung on to it and worked in dribbles and drabbles till I got where I am now, which is chapter 16 and close to the end.
I am quite motivated to finish this fic as I still need to write Ayerf the ficlet she won in the TPP auction last fall. (Don't question my priorities; I don't understand them well enough to explain.) And then the exchange will start, so... I hope to be finished writing this before the exchange prompts are sent out.
Thank yous go out to Septentrion for the alpha read and Ayerf for the beta. Any mistakes you see belong to me.
Title: Shelter
Rating: PG-13/R for language and mature themes
Prompt: 2007 Prompt 2: Partly DH compliant. What if Voldemort granted Severus a personal reward, in addition to becoming Headmaster: Hermione Granger to do with as he wished. Alternate version of the Malfoy Manor chapter. Bellatrix may still torture Hermione (particularly if she's jealous of Voldemort favouring Severus), but Severus comes to claim his prize. With him there, does Harry escape before Voldemort arrives? Only restriction is that Hermione's only way out is with Severus.
Summary: AU. Fatigued, Snape makes a mistake that could cost the wizarding world everything.

I'm on the quiz again! Twice in a row! That's... unheard of, for me.

Firefox is being really, really, obnoxiously slow for me. I'm thinking of switching to chrome, seeing as updating the flash drivers and all that (and clearing the cache) hasn't helped one jot.
Any ideas or thoughts?
( Short blather on good things. )

The exchange deadline is when?
Mar. 18th, 2010 03:58 pmHum. I seem to be slowing down. Significantly. And it isn't even the Finishing-Up Wibbles that's slowing me down, as I'm still not yet halfway done.
I think I'm getting burned out.
Not good.
And I don't foresee a lot of time to work on it in the near future.
Crud.
That said, just so you mods don'tpoint the Eye of Shiv at me worry, I am making progress, albeit slooooooowly. I do expect to have a worthy piece by the deadline or very shortly thereafter. And should it be "thereafter", I will notify you before "thereafter" happens.

Thank you very kindly,
morethansirius, for the coupon that let me upgrade back to a paid account!
And that means I can spam you all with pics! From long ago.
But first, today's 'art'. I should explain that I've had a bit of the lurgy today, so I did not actually put pencil to paper. Yes, yes, shame on me. I did, however, go through one folder of old photos and made them post-worthy. I tried to play with one to make it count as arting, but the program crashed before I got far enough to save it.
So, I only have a few (8) flower pics from October and a new user icon (Disney SS/HG!) to share.

camillo1978's prompt
Apr. 8th, 2009 05:41 pmI am not exactly thrilled with this, but, well, working on it beat being bored, but even so, I think I've run out of steam on this particular drawing.
Done with graphite on white sketch paper, then I mucked about in photoshop quite a bit.
( A different Hermione from my usual one. And I still cannot draw a 'pretty' Snape. Nope. Not going to happen. )
It's now also up at my deviant page. http://averygoodun.deviantart.com/art/Domesticity-118604146

The Traveller is well worth a read. I'm going to have to reread it more critically at some other time, but my first impression is that it's impressively laid out. And worth the reread. At some other time.
Addendum to Part Four of The Prince's Wood
Apr. 4th, 2008 06:19 pmOops.
This should have been in the Part Four set. I've added it in there, but here it is on it's own as well:
( 'How can you be so calm about this?' Hermione screamed... )
