3 art recs + 3 fic recs + some RL = x (who can tell me the solution of this equation?)

a bout of RL )

[info]pervy_werewolf recs:

[fic] I'm excited to be working on [info]snapelike's LMoM story! The story so far is addictive, and I can't wait to see more. Dark-ish Snupin - be aware of the heavy NC-17 rating.

The Diary of a Death Eater Whore

[art] [info]karasu_hime is doing (Snupin) art for LMoM this year again, which has me incredibly happy. So gorgeous all around!

Karasu's p_w tag

[art] [info]ponderosa121 is doing LMoM, too! Her pieces - each with a different pairing - have been a treat each so far. Her work is simply beautiful.

[info]snarry_games recs; I haven't even read half of the Games' entries yet, but I'm planning on playing catch-up. Have the two outstanding fics I've read so far:

[fic] [info]perfica's Come Out Of The West (rated R) is gorgeous from first to last. It's an Alternate Reality fic set, for the most part, in a hospital. Its structure gave me an orgasm, and I love her portrayal of Harry and Severus. There's this kind of atmosphere surrounding this fic that makes me hold my breath. Believable set-up, intense writing, and great characterisation - what more does one want?

[fic] [info]josan's One Down, Two Across (rated NC-17, beware of warnings) is 22,000+ words of magnificence. So original, so intense, so stunning. This fic may not be a classical, sexual Snarry, but from the beginning it is clear that the relationship between the two will be the driving force of the story. From the first part, the puzzle, to the second part, the solution, this fic is breath-taking. This world completely captures you and takes you hostage, willingly until the end, and even then you want to stay with this story. It's a Stockholm Syndrome you'll develop for sure!

Aaand then there already is a piece to rec from this month's [info]lupin_snape challenge: the Darkside Challenge!

[art] [info]ships_harry's Nine tenths is simply beautiful. The contrasts work amazingly, and the blue/white tinge makes for a real sharp image. And then the words that accompany the picture... Wow. This artist always makes me want to write for her art as it's a story she draws, but I don't think words could ever capture the often chilling atmosphere of her art.

and when you cry, there are no tears...

- SUPERNATURAL IS BACK. I will not bore you with my opinion of last night's episode, 3.13, but let me say: BOOOOYS, I <3 YOU. SO MUCH.

- the cold is still in full force, but as long as I'm doped up I feel good. Is that good or no good?

- I has seekrit projekt. [info]shiny_crystal has promised to help. Poor thing, I hope she knows what she's getting herself into! Someone else has also been bothered with my Wanting to Know Things. Information should be up sometime... next week, I hope? Because I have a long weekend next week. YAY FOR NO WORK.

- I'm going to have to be up at 4AM tomorrow. Yes, you read that right. I'm helping a friend out - she's riding a tournament tomorrow, and I'm her TT ("Tournament Idiot" :P). LMAO.

- I am amused by the fact that a third of the HP people I stumble across are also at least halfway into the Supernatural or its RPS fandom.

- FESTS: I am glad it's only the [info]snarry_games I'm following at the moment. Because I'm way behind there already! And May is going to be way more busy, fest-wise! So much reading to do again, OMG! *wibbles*

In conclusion: YAY SUPERNATURAL! BOO COLD!



ETA: - my work contract actually only goes until June, but I asked whether they'd like to keep me longer - looks like I'm going to be there until September! W00t!

horse talk

Not dead, just having a lot of stress at work and family stuff and my friend with the panic attacks to take care of.

So. Because it looks like there's a thunderstorm coming and I'm waiting for my food to finish cooking, let me ramble away about horse-related stuff.

I have my Peppo back! )

let's start the riot...

So! Things are looking up. My sickness is almost done with (about time!), I just called my riding trainer and he told me I could go back riding Peppo, which, YAY! I had him placed under my care for a year before I had to (mostly) stop riding at the end of 2006 because of finishing school, and I didn't think I'd get him back. Apparently I do *happydances*

In other news I've been rewatching season 6 of Sex and the City in an attempt not to rewatch all of Supernatural. I realised how much I'd been rooting for the Samantha/Smith storyline and how much I didn't care for the Big/Carrie resolution. Watching it now just makes me go "Meh". Was/am I the only one with that reaction?

Also! I want to read a Harry Potter/Star Wars crossover. Is there anything like that out there?

fic pointer and CACIB (dog show) in Rostock

Shadows in Light and Dark. Narcissa-centric genfic, featuring Andromeda, Bellatrix, Lucius, Harry, VOldemort and Draco. Rated R for some sneaky sexual themes. In times of war everyone has to choose sides. In the aftermath it might not be the one you would have seen yourself leaning to previously, but the intuitive decision of the moment, drawn from a mix of hope and desperation, often has a way of being the ultimately right one. This is totally my personal Narcissa canon.


My last couple of weeks were quite... eventful, I should say. Especially the weekend, when I went to Rostock with a friend to show her Azawakh bitch in a... show )

That's some of what happened. Not all of it - some of it I still have to figure out - but that which stands out most.
