Help a friend in need, get a fic. [May. 9th, 2012|07:08 am]
Hey all.

Some of you know [info]vl_redreign and some of you don't, but she's seriously struggling right now. Long and short of her story is that they've gone from 2 incomes to 1. Yeah.

I love this woman, and I want to help in any way I can, so I'm pledging to write a fic for every person who helps her out. No restrictions.

If you'd rather have something besides a fic, I can do that too. Beta help. A pic of boobies. Whatever!

Please help if you can. Thanks, y'all!

Fest Recs x 2 [Apr. 26th, 2012|12:38 pm]
*flails around in a fog of happiness*

You guys!! You GUYS! I have, in the last 24 hours, been showered with literary riches beyond compare. I swear, y'all, I have no idea what I've done right, but I literally win ALL THE FESTS. This year is no exception.

So last night, I was obsessively refreshing IJ and LJ in an attempt to spark some interest in putting words to (virtual) paper, and I saw that a gift for me had gone up on [info]hp_april_fools. I clicked, expecting art, but then saw that it was ART AND FIC! Together in one awesome package! It's young!Moody and Firenze and omg, it's such a fantastic backstory for Moody. The art (multiple panels!! eeeee!!) is wonderful and vibrant and, considering the nature of this fest, I was blown away by every bit of the entire piece.

Then! Today! I was looking for something to help distract me from housework (ugh), and I saw that a gift for ME had gone up on [info]hp_beholder. The Chelmsford List is one of those fics that is just a shining example of this fest. It's Mundungus Fletcher/Stan Shunpike and it's a survival guide!fic. I just... *glee* It's gorgeously written, lovingly detailed, and I just nommed on every word of it. SOOOO much love for this fic. I so want to go grab some fish and chips now. ♥ ♥ Seriously, Dung/Stan is my new OTP. Love, love, love.

Go, y'all. Go read/view these and tell the authors how awesome they are. Because they are. SO AWESOME.

I'm ALIVE! [Jan. 27th, 2012|12:43 pm]
OMG, I had no idea how long it had been since I last posted, but yeah. I'm here, I'm alive, I just took an unintentional sort of hiatus from fandom after ALL THE FESTS. Heh.

That reminds me. I wrote some things. Shocking, eh? I only participated in two fests this season (yes, I KNOW). [info]snapelyholidays and Kinky Kristmas at [info]daily_deviant. For KK I wrote Dudley Dursley and the Fucking Thereof, which was a Millicent/Dudley fic that I had way too much fun writing. :D And I will not apologize for the title. Heh.

For Snapely, I wrote A Step in the Right Direction Might Just Land in Peacock Shit. Snape/Lucius and OMG SO DIFFICULT because a) trying to find a newish plot after reading for three months at the Exchange and b) writing for your beta without making it glaringly obvious that it's YOU who's doing the writing? SO DIFFICULT, yes.

Also for Snapely, I wrote Tensile Strength, which was Neville/Snape and, argh, I was so not nice to Neville in it, omg. I am a horrible person. HORRIBLE. Yes, I still feel pangs of guilt over the hell I put him through in this fic.

And again, for Snapely, I harangued [info]r_grayjoy into co-writing Awkward Advances, a Regulus/Snape fic, with me.

Since my last post, we went to Texas, came home, did all the things, and cleaned my house liek whoa. I honestly can't think of what this past month has entailed because, holy shit, how is it already the end of January?! Dear GOD, the end of the world will be here before I know it! Damn you, Mayans! *shakes fist*

Anyway. I know there's more, and when I am capable of putting together a coherent post, I will. But for now, know that I'm alive and still kicking around fandom. :P

Holiday Fest Rec Post #1 - Kinky Kristmas (part 1) [Jan. 3rd, 2012|11:00 pm]
Okay, I'm doing this post differently because, yeah, there are only so many ways to say, "OMG, this fic is awesome." So, yeah, just take it as given that these fics? Are fucking awesome. Also take it as given that these fics are not work safe. :P Hell, some of the quotes I chose aren't work safe!!

Table (and Bed) for Three. Harry Potter/Hermione Granger/Neville Longbottom

Why you should read this: Naughty quote under the cut )




Cinnamon and Chocolate (and Sex). Lavender/Seamus

Why you should read this: She gasped, letting the rumpled paper drift to the floor. Her fingers curled around the life-like dildo, holding it up. Eyes wide, she looked at Seamus. "That has to be the biggest one I've ever seen." She weighed it in her hand. "Wow. How big is it compared to..."

Seamus shook his head quickly. "We don't need to compare it." As a matter of fact, he had already done the comparison. It was enough to give a bloke some sort of complex.





Raising The Bar. Kingsley/Sirius

Why you should read this: An amused chuckle drew Sirius's eyes back up to Kingsley's face, to the single drop of whisky that hung on his lower lip. His full, soft, and damp lower lip.




7 (which is super short, so here, have a longer link to click on just in case you've been drinking or something). Snape/Harry

Why you should read this: It was the first time Harry had seen the ice sculpture in the process of being formed. Momentarily forgetting his desire to catch its creator, he gazed enraptured at the tree. Crystalline branches were stretching out in all directions, the end of each one dividing again and again to form a more and more complex and beautiful structure. Soon the new branches were so minute they no longer looked like ice, but like frost rimed leaves, like delicate feathers of snow. (Is it wrong I was disappointed at the lack of Ginny's decapitated head in a box at the end of this? LOL! Damn you, Kevin Spacey.)




The Stray. Snape/Ron.

Why you should read this: "Clearly you know my name," [Snape] said. "But what should I call you?"

"You were so creative with Mr Wulfmaster –"

"Rayvyyn," he said. "With three 'y's."

"Rayvyyn, then – that I think you should choose a name for me."

"How about Pup?" Severus asked, looking back at the rapidly reddening arse of the man splayed across the table.

"Pup?"

"You're young and naïve, and clearly need to be taken in hand before you start following random people home and destroying their slippers."





With Cat-Like Tread. Minerva/Severus

Why you should read this: She paused, just regarding him, as cats are wont to do. Severus did not sleep neatly - arms splayed at odd angles, ankles in a tangle of sheets. Indeed, it was almost as if in reaction to daytime buttons and uprightness that he was spreadeagled so, and Minerva found it strangely alluring. Her gaze remained steady, watching the twitch of eye beneath lid in somnolent adventure, the play of long fingers against the covers in dream-borne grasp. As minutes passed, she found herself transfixed; the hint of such languor, such vigour, beneath the steel control was tantalizing, indeed. What else was there to Severus Snape? How does he really sound, and look, and feel, in these most intimate of moments?




Diverted. Percy/Pansy/Draco

Why you should read this: Every day, the door is open, and she's always there, at the desk just inside the door, the top button of her robe unfastened, and she winks, and he can't seem to make his legs just take the appropriate path. He means to, but sometimes she leaves the robe tossed over the back of her chair and stretches tall to fetch a file in her very short skirt, and sometimes her hair is loose and apparently every shred of discipline in his body went into being the starched Prefect and the stuffy Minister's Assistant because now he's as weak as an overcooked bit of linguine.




Scent. Ron/Remus

Why you should read this: He supposed he could talk to someone, but as he was currently living in the house Ron had grown up in, his options were few.

Lovely morning, isn't it, Molly? Also, I want to fuck your son. Your youngest son. Do you mind?





Four Part Harmony. (George/Lee, Parvati/Lavender)
Why you should read this: "So what, then?" says George. "You're just giving up?"

"No! Oh, hell, no," says Lee. "I'm just," he pulls his wrist away and grabs George's buckle again, "not going to die a virgin."

"Lee, you're--wait." George starts to laugh. "That's what you want? Sex? Now? With the Dark Mark up in the sky and Fred roaming around outside and--"

"And Death Eaters breathing down our necks and every witch and wizard in Britain hanging on our every word?" says Lee. "Yeah. That's what I want. I've waited long enough, don't you think? This weird thing between you and me? The thing where I fall asleep with my head on your shoulder, and you're touching me every time Fred turns his fucking head and the only thing that gets me through all the damn running is thinking that you're going to be there the next time we go on the air? I need this to be something palpable. I need to know it's real, because George," he takes a deep breath, "some days, this is what I'm living for."





Turnabout. Sprout/McGonagall.

Why you should read this: That's when she saw it: a tendril of Flitterbloom slowly writhing through her cracked window and across the floor toward her.

The tendril wore a watch.

Minerva frowned and stepped toward it. The watch flashed the word "LATE" where the hand pointed to "Time to Please Your Mistress."

A branch of vine reached out; Minerva snatched her hand back from the plant. "I do hope you aren't planning to carry me to her forcibly," she admonished it. "We are still in my office, and, no matter what either of you may think, I am still the only one in charge in this room."

The plant wilted a little, but only briefly. It raised the watch and shook it in Minerva's face.

She sniffed. "Besides, I wasn't aware we'd made a date. I'd been looking forward to a nice cup of cocoa and a novel, if you must know."

The impertinent plant showed a distinct lack of patience. Despite her warnings, it took hold of her wrist and pulled.

"Oh, for pity's sake," Minerva huffed...before following like a Good Girl.




Of Alcohol and Resolutions. James/Sirius

Why you should read this: Naught Quote Under the Cut )



The Twelve Dates of Christmas (or A Dirty Dozen). Bill/Tonks, Bill/Minerva, Bill/Pansy, Bill/Rosmerta, Bill/Hermione, Bill/Parvati, Bill/Lavender, Bill/Millicent, Bill/Narcissa, Bill/Angelina, Bill/Hestia, Bill/Ginny, Bill/Helga (implied)

Why you should read this fic: I was going to find a quote, like I did for all the others, but seriously, check out this list of kinks!! "Kinks/Themes Included: anal sex, blindfolding, blow jobs, bondage, corsets, cunnilingus, D/s, discipline, drug use (opium), exhibitionism, frottage, hate sex, ice/sensation play, incest fantasies, lap dancing, mutual masturbation, orgasm denial, outdoor sex, pegging, ravishment play, rimming, role-playing, spanking, tattooing (mendhi), verbal humiliation, voyeurism, wanking
Other Warnings/Content: age disparity, erotic traditional dancing, femme!dom, implied food smut, motorboating, nipple clamps (implied), smoking, student/teacher fantasy, do not operate heavy machinery or mix with alcohol"

I am not worthy [Dec. 29th, 2011|08:04 pm]
Oh man, "vacation" is sapping my will to live, but so many awesome things have posted for me in the last two-ish weeks that it's becoming criminal that not only am I winning ALL THE FEST GIFTS but also that I haven't pointed to hardly any of them.

Silver and Gold at [info]daily_deviant is a gorgeous bit of descriptive writing (yes, this mystery author's awesome skills are making me insanely jealous AND ALSO outrageously grateful, heh, because ALL MINE, BITCHES!) that will just pull you in to the story and leave you yearning for more from this author. The fic is Luna/Dean and oh wow. This may be my new favorite het pairing. Luna is so vividly painted and Dean is just amazingly realized as a real, full character with all his flaws and hesitant boy behavior. I am So Damn Lucky.

But this fic! Has ONE other comment besides mine, which is just freaking criminal. I don't care if Luna/Dean isn't your thing. Go read this for a perfect example of "this is how writing is done" if nothing else.

And then, in a perfect example of "see Eey get ALL THE BEST GIFTS", I also received Muscle Men based on one of my more specific (and possibly ridiculous) prompts-"give me all the muscles". The author came through in a big way. This is Kingsley/Charlie at their sexy finest. So damn hot and yes, it is all about the bulging miscles here. EXACTLY what I wanted when I left that request, wheee! Bad-ass Minister Kingsley looking for someone who can be his physical equal and devil-may-care Charlie showing him that being tossed around like a rag doll is just as much fun as it sounds like. Well, inasmuch as a fic can have top!Kingsley getting tossed around, heh. YummY!

AND THEN!!

After my first FUCKING AMAZING gifts posted on [info]snapelyholidays, I didn't expect anything else. But then!! I got poked earlier this week (when I was having ALL THE INTERNET ISSUES) and told to go at the first available moment (err, today) and see my OTHER gift. HI, I AM SO SPOILED OMG. Guess what I got?? If you guessed Severus/Firenze fanart, you'd not only be the best guesser in the history of guessing, but you'd be exactly right. My squee scared the dogs, I swear. Snape/FIRENZE. Y'ALL. GO. I have still not finished leaving all my love on this. Because audible flailing is kinda difficult to leave in an internet comment, woe.

But yes, I am all the lucky, y/y?? Admit it, you're jealous. *understands*

Fests, and the gifts we receive (AKA, Neener, neener) [Dec. 12th, 2011|10:32 am]
What's that? You're participating in a fest and you got a lovely gift? I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but first I gotta say:

MY GIFT IS THE BEST GIFT EVER!!

Hoooo leeeeeeee shiiiiiiiiit, you guys! I just... om NOM nom! Okay, so the mystery artist (who, if you've been awake at all this year, should really not be so mysterious) who drew my gifts (THAT'S RIGHT, BABY, PLURAL!! I GOT TWOOOOOOOO!!) is obviously all up in my MIND and pulling ALL THE YUMMY THOUGHTS right out of it, because she the mystery artist DREW THEM.

TWO. Did I mention? :D

First, she drew me some holy shit, they're burning up on fire hot!Bill/Severus. With Bill topping from the bottom. Ohhhh yeah. And they're perfect. OMG. *licks*

And THEN! She drew me some authoritatively abusive Kingsley and Moody getting all rowdy in their Auror Uniforms with Suspect!Snape. Have you EVER seen Kingsley looking so damn bad-ass? Or Moody looking so freaking HOT?! Yeah. OMG. HELLO, MY KINK BUTTONS. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS? THAT WAS YOU BEING PUSHED!

I am so fucking spoiled. Just a lucky bitch all the way around.

Why are you still here? Go go go! Go loooook! And then leave some keyboard mashing flailing for my wonderful Secret Santa!

Ever have one of those art/fic assignments that is just intriguing as fuck and you are all excited to sit down and create something perfect for it, but you get to that moment and your brain goes, "Yeah, no. Let's go see what The Bloggess is getting up to today?

I'm staring one of those assignments in the face right now.

Come one, brain, we can DO THIS SHIT! And seriously, if you don't cooperate, I'll just write it without you. (No one will ever know the difference.)

LJ is killing me [Nov. 27th, 2011|08:21 pm]
Okay, all, I have an issue that's been going on for about a month now, and I thought it was my computer... up til I reconfigured EVERYTHING on my computer and it's still not working (when every other website IS).

I've tried three different browsers (FF, IE, and Chrome), and when LJ does load, this is what the home page looks like:

Under the cut to conserve your pages )

This is what it looks like when it finally DOES load, and it takes, on average, five reloads to get each page to load. I've had this problem for a while (since my last post on my LJ, at least, back in late October), but I really just thought it was something on my end. It still could be, I'm sure, but I have done EVERYTHING (clearing cache/cookies, uninstalling latest version of FF and installing older version, UPDATING FF, updating Chrome, updating every fucking thing ever, deleting half the shit off my computer and defraging, seriously, every fucking thing).

The only site I'm really having this problem with is LJ. IJ runs fine, DW runs fine, AO3... also fine. Facebook zooms along like a champ. But I NEED to access LJ so I can post the [info]quibbler_report (as well as so I can read the fic/view the art to rec to QR).

Leela made me cry!! [Oct. 19th, 2011|08:59 pm]
OMG, y'all, I'm a mess over here. A while back, [info]leela_cat asked me to prompt her for a birthday ficlet. I sat there stumped and finally said, "Oh, I know, give me a story about Neville and his parents. I want to know what happened to them since we don't find out in canon."

And then she wrote me this gorgeous, wonderful, marvelous, inspiring story and I'm literally over here with tissues in each hand to catch all my various dribbles. It's so lovely, y'all. So beautiful.

Go read Moonclaw Glitter and Gum Wrappers. It's Neville gen featuring Luna, Harry, Frank, and Alice, and it's ... *flaps hands* Gorgeous.

Clarifying my view on the subject for all the Assholes out there [Oct. 12th, 2011|03:06 pm]
As long as homophobia/queer-phobia/etc-phobia exists in this world, those who are struggling through that fight, or have struggled through that fight, or KNOW SOMEONE who is/has struggled through that fight have to continue to fight. They have to give their voice, their support, their powerful words to that fight so that others who are on the front lines every day can take comfort from their words, advice, support.

Until the day when there are no more kids being bullied in school for being "a fag", until the last 8-year-old child says, "that's so gay" because they heard the word "gay" used in a derogatory fashion from some adult in their life, until the last person is dragged behind a truck until dead because of who they love, we have to continue fighting.

This cause isn't important? There are things more important out there, like unrest in the Middle East? Really? Fuck that.

Yes, unrest in the Middle East is another worthy cause. But is it more important than the cause of fighting homophobia here at home and around the world? More important than sharing our support with those fighting homophobia?

No.

For one thing, homophobia exists everywhere. For another, a world-wide effort to embrace and practice tolerance could lead to less unrest in the Middle East. Think about it: the Middle East has issues because, in part, the people in power are "sexist, racist, and basically intolerant of difference." (nods to [info]r_grayjoy)

So before you go ranting in other people's journals about "bigger and more important things" than celebrating when someone who pushed down their fear of the backlash of homophobic assholes came out, stop and think.

And then don't. Because you will piss me off. And I'll call you an asshole.

Bigotry, not just for assholes anymore [Oct. 12th, 2011|02:49 pm]
Oh, wait, I'm totally wrong. Bigots ARE still assholes.

As are the people who show their bigotry on another person's National Coming Out Day post.

I'm going to be far more petty than she'd ever be (because she's classy and shit), and just let you know... there's a reason people like her more than you.*

Damn, it takes a lot to make me whip out the angry fist shaking icon, but you've done it. *is pissed*

Wanna be a bigot? Get the fuck out of my fandom.


*In case you missed it: that'd be because you're an ASSHOLE, asshole.

The Difference A Year Makes [Sep. 19th, 2011|09:33 pm]
So today ...

No, that's not even how to start this. Shit, I don't know WHERE this starts.

So Beelzebub's school. Yes, that's it. :D Beelzebub's school has this reading program (AR for those who are in the know) and it's basically a list of school-approved books with a point system attached. 0-.9 are kindergarten level reading, 1-1.9 are first grade level, etc. After reading the books, the children have to take a computerized test and depending on their score, they're given "points" toward their AR goal.

We are starting the sixth week of school, of a 9-week grading period, and today Beelzebub came home with a notice from his reading teacher that he had 0.9 points toward his goal of 15 total points for the grading period. In other words, less than one point in SIX WEEKS, with less than three full week left to make up the remaining 14.1 points.

I freaked the fuck out, to put it mildly.

He's been reading The Chronicles of Narnia, which range from 6-9 points per book. He finished the first book (The Magician's Nephew) two weeks ago, so by all rights he should have had at least 6-ish points. Y'all, I looked up all the book series he's interested in at the beginning of the year to ensure that he was reading at or above grade level so that we wouldn't run into this problem.

I had no idea what to think. Had he failed the computerized test? Had the teacher read my notes (I keep them informed on his reading log which book he's on, which chapters he's read, etc)? What the fuck was going on???

After having a massive freak-out, I sent a short email to his reading teacher basically asking for a meeting so we could come up with a plan to get him back on track. (Side note: he's making all A's and B's right now, but this would seriously damage his reading grade.) After more freaking out on my part, I got an email from her. I'm transcribing it here so y'all can glory in this with me:

Holy shit, a teaching team that communicates and works with the students and parents???? What is this madness?? )

So apparently the freak out was unnecessary because the report I received did not take into consideration the test on the first Narnia book. He's finishing The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe this week and will test on it Friday (hopefully achieving all 6 points) and then we have several 3-4 point books that are easily manageable in the interim.

I wrote the teacher back, apologized for freaking out (lol), and basically told them that changing his goal was unnecessary as I was freaking out due to the fact that I didn't see the results of the first book he'd read reflected in the report. I made it clear that I don't want Beelzebub to skate by, I want him to be challenged. And he's enjoying reading, for the first time in his life, so I REALLY REALLY want to encourage him to continue.

That was my biggest fear, you know? That his new love of reading would be squelched because of some arbitrary point system for books.

*deep breath*

So the craziness of my afternoon is all cleared up and I'm definitely going to be making sure that he takes his tests RIGHT AWAY instead of waiting two weeks (during which time he fails to retain the details of the book because he's reading a new book).

But seriously, last year? I got notices like this after the grades had been submitted for the grading period, when it was completely impossible to fix anything. Beelzebub started hiding his work in his desk instead of turning it in, and I had to literally force him to do his reading. He didn't dislike his teacher, because the boy doesn't have a "dislike" button in his body. He loves EVERYONE. But the differences between last year and this year are just... startling and amazing and wonderful.

I honestly feel like his teachers this year are setting him up to succeed. And it's so damn nice not to be the only person really concerned with his level of learning.

I love my son's teachers. That is all.

Whee! Art! [Sep. 7th, 2011|11:01 am]
YAY! So, as will come as no surprise to ANYONE, I "created" absolutely atrocious art (seriously, either of my kids could have done a better job, but I can't see any way to guide them into drawing the art I drew without, err, ruining their childhoods FOREVER). I was just going to do something silly with the Giant Squid sucking itself off but... well, I don't know if the rest of y'all are aware, but squids? Look a lot like cocks. Just, you know, with tentacles instead of testicles.

But when you have a GIANT squid, who can handle THAT size cock? Oh, well, happily enough, JKR gave us a handy dandy GIANT to play with in canon.

So.... I drew Giant Squid/Grawp for [info]hump_day_smut.

If I were y'all, though, I would NOT go to look at that, but to drool and sigh over the OTHER gorgeous art that self-proclaimed "non-artists" drew (and seriously, why aren't these people drawing art ALL THE TIME??? I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!). It is all gorgeous and wonderful and you should ALL GO LOOK at the gorgeous art.

Here, have a link: Hump Day Smut Open Mic Art.

Commercial Fanfic--how I've missed it! [Sep. 2nd, 2011|12:53 pm]
Okay, so most of y'all know my deep and abiding love for the Mac/PC commercials (and the Mac/PC pairing itself, bwee!). There has been an empty place in my heart since those commercials stopped airing, but now. Now, that hole, while not filled exactly, is getting a patch-job. Because my darling [info]kathrynthegr8 introduced me to the oh-so-obvious-how-did-I-not-have-this-in-my-life-before Flo (Progressive Insurance)/Mayhem (Allstate Insurance) fanfic.

It's SO AWESOME OMG.

Here, have a couple of recs:

Title: Never You Mind the Exit Signs
Author: allthingsholy
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/236213
Rating/Warning(s): T
Genre: Romantic comedy

Exerpt: Here’s the truth, though: guy downstairs? He’s kind of attractive. Not, like, Dick Van Dyke attractive, but—dangerous attractive. Six feet of pure trouble, her mother would probably say, and Flo would probably agree. Especially right now, when the trouble’s overshadowing the attractive by miles and Flo feels her blood start to boil.


Title: Dedicated and Renovated for You
Author: betternovembers
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/141014
Rating/Warning(s): T
Genre: Apocalypse Fic-WITH OLD SPICE GUY!!!

Exerpt: It’s not that it’s an easy choice, ending up with him. But he has her back, even if they’re never actually in danger. And company is still company. She’s not sure what she’d be like if she was out here, alone. Maybe talking to herself, maybe going crazy. And if nothing else, at least they’re on motorcycles. Flo really, really likes motorcycles.


I'm hoping to find MANY MORE fics featuring this pairing. Because it's quickly becoming my new OTP. :D

Thanks go to [info]kathrynthegr8 for all the info/linkage that's here. I basically stole it all from her. Because I am le lazy.
