A numbered list.

1. LONDON!!! The snupin_meeting! Lots of awesome people! July 21-27. Emails have gone out regarding this. If you were waiting for one.

2. SLEEP! I've spent like, a gazillion hours sleeping. And it's done wonders for my lack of optimism and enthusiasm. YAY PEOPLE! YAY GETTING UP! YAY DOING THINGS! When did I last feel like this, I ask you?

3. PAIN! My wrist hurts like a bitch. I guess writing roughly 24K in two weeks kind of overstressed it. Which doesn't mean I'm gonna stop writing, because...

4. DEADLINES! Lookit! *tears hair out*

5. FINANCES! They're all clear now for London, finally, OMFG. Caused much anxiety on this side.

6. PEOPLE! I LOVE PEOPLE! IF I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU SO IN RECENT TIME, I'M TELLING YOU NOW! ♥

7. TALK! There's been much sex talk going on at work, which, fun. Also, one of my colleagues has been talking to me about her committing adultery, and her affairs, and stuff. Which, weird, but also, inspiration. Heh.

8. lupin_snape's Fantasy Fest!!! CLAIMING IS NOW UNDERWAY. God, I fail for almost missing this important tidbit of information.

This post is brought to you by the letters S, H and M. I will now return you to your scheduled gloom seriousness.

It's time I made a decision.

I'm going to give up participating in exchanges for this year. That means: no


hp_toujours

SIGN UPS begin June 22 - July 12
ASSIGNMENTS DUE October 4

More information [ here ].


No snupin_santa. No smutty_claus. No snapelyholidays. No other exchanges that might look tempting. I'm not sure I'll even manage femgenficathon, as no suitable plotbunny has come up yet. Challenges will be considered on a case-by-case basis, so I'm not going to say YAY or NAY to them just yet - I know a few will come up this year that I'd be sorely tempted by.

( Why this decision on cutting back on exchanges? (aka, if you wanted to know what kind of fic I'm working on...) )

At any rate, I might do some pinch-hitting, if the mood strikes me and I've actually managed to finished some of those projects. I don't think I'll have all of them posted when the new year rolls 'round, but I can dream, right?

I just wanted to say this in a public post so that if I so much as flirt with an exchange, hopefully someone will remember this and strike me unconscious. Or something.

I should have been in bed long, long ago, but this is just too good not to pass on right now:

The 25 Most Disturbing Sex Toys

Bzuh? Haha. *shifty eyes*

I shall warn you, this might scar you for life.

There's a new awesome asylum, hp_unfaithful, with a, you guessed it, infidelity theme. I have a couple of fics I'd like to finish to celebrate this kink of mine, but other projects want to be written, too, so I let you decide which will be my priority! *is lazy*

Poll #1880
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

What fic should I work on?

The Charlie/Remus/Tonks and the Remus/Severus/Tonks have heavy infidelity themes. The two Snupins are rather plotty (for me) as opposed to character-driven.

Of course I'll keep working on my SPN fic o' doom, but I'll try to adhere to the results of this poll. Whee!

...Is there seriously no general Harry Potter genfic asylum on IJ? o_O FAIL!

In other words, Happy Easter (albeit very very late) to all of you who are celebrating! I hope the Easter bunny was good to you ;)


ETA: Aha, fail for me too. hpdesmutathon is having sign-ups here, and it looks like they need more players, so come on, pull out your darkest muse!

We're having a Trading Claims Challenge over on 100quills. If you've claimed something feel free to join in! It'll be fun, methinks.



Wow, that storm that's been hovering over south Great Britain and north France arrived here - it's been storming nicely outside for the entire day. Eep! I hate wind.

In other news, nothing is happening. Not that that's any different from usual >.> Public transportation is still on strike, but at least the worst didn't happen - S-Bahn is not on strike. Which means I can get to work with only roughly twenty minutes lateness. Which doesn't exactly make me a happy bunny, but what can you do?

nomelon is having an author recommendation meme here. I've put up my reading preferences in four fandoms (Harry Potter, Supernatural, CW RPS, due South) here. Go check this meme out if you want to discover some new gems :)


This week in RL was marked by the strike of three out of four public transportation services in Berlin. Meaning: getting to work entailed a 20+ minutes walk to the nearest S-Bahn station, where the trains didn't exactly leave very punctually, and then a long wait for the emergency bus once I got to Wittenau, where I have to change from S-Bahn to Bus; and the bus leaves every 30 minutes. If I don't take it I can walk another maybe 25+ minutes to work. On top of that the first snowfall of this winter - yes, in March - fell on Wednesday, when the strike began. WTF! Where usually I need 45 minutes to work I now need 75.

On top of that, on Monday the last still-functioning public transportation service, the S-Bahn, will go on strike too. Errrrrm. I have actually almost no way of getting to work then. asdfghjk. I don't have a bike, and even if I had one it'd be too far. Though I'm kind of looking forward to the strike - if it happens - because it'd mean some days off from work. Yeeeha!

Anyway, yesterday it was my mother's birthday and we went out to a restaurant. I got very well fed and had some delicious meat - lamb. Of course today I feel like I haven't eaten since the world began. I'm just hungry all the time and keep eating and eating and eating without ever feeling like it's enough :(

ETA: Haha, no, not all is bad. I went shopping and it cheered me up muchly - I'm completely in love with a coat I bought. It's too cold here at the moment to wear it, though. I can't wait for spring!!!

We are currently celebrating 500+ members at 100quills! Yay! So, if you're part of the community, are watching/a member with a claim or without, head on over to LJ to answer our poll!

sivullinen and I are planning further celebrations for this weekend, so stay tuned :)

I have taken over modship at the_shack, a Marauders-centric community.

Come on over and share your Marauders fics and artses, okay?

I've been meaning to do an all-thinky post about, oh, my view on the Lily/Severus business, some thoughts on plot in relation to minisinoo's post, Severus & the Marauders, Bill and Charlie... or simply talking about my newly revealed fest fics.

But sometimes RL gets in the way. In the form of ice on the pavement. Trying to walk on ice on the pavement can end badly. Like, you falling on your tailbone so hard you think you might consider going to the emergency room, because OW!!! does not even begin to cover it. Of course I could not be bothered to go to the ER, instead spent half the day working with the horses and the other half in bed, and I went to work today and did not go to the doctor again, which, possibly not very intelligent. Because:

OW.

And my horoscope for 2008 said I'd have a superb year. Somehow I don't really see that yet >.>

/whining

ETA: Actually I posted not because I wanted to whine at y'all but because I wanted to pimp less_for_you, a Lily/Severus exchange that's taking sign-ups now. Do me a favour and sign-up for some manipulative non-weak angry revenge!Lily/Severus, yes? Because that's the kind I adore.
