all links, if I haven't screwed up somehow, should open in a new browser window

drive by body piercing

Every time I've tried to add an entry lately, I get that screen about how the servers are overloaded.

I used to be a gold member, and never had that problem. But now I'm just a livejournal ho, so...

It's a year now since I started changing the look of the site and I still love my black and white (ahem, charcoal and eggshell) colorscheme and my big Georgia O'Keefe frontispiece.

And, I've updated. With a bunch of stuff since the last time I posted here.

*Hermione's Good Fortune, a Ron/Hermione sex comedy for the I Don't Want to Die a Virgin Challenge.

*Round the Curves, a James/Lily sex comedy, also for the I Don't Want to Die a Virgin Challenge.

(yeah, I went with the het canon and near-canon couples. And the comedy. I do love me a good rom com. *g*)

*Ladyfingers, some quick and gratuitous Ginny/Tonks smut

*What You Want, some angry Sirius/Remus post-Hogwarts/pre-Azkaban smut

*hot ice and wondrous strange snow, a MWPP-era Sirius/Remus story I adore and hope you do too

and a bunch of HP drabbles:

*Betwixt Cup and Lip

*Self-Delusion

*Owl Post

*I'll Never Tell

Now it's a ficlet for Snacky, my Psalm fic and the Remus/Death that are occupying my mind. And You Showed Me, which may actually end up finished one of these days.

meh

Oh my god I hate this story.

There. I said it out loud. I feel much better.

I hate it and it sucks and I just want to be done with it so I can forget I ever wrote it.

Meh.

Challenges and I are unmixy things, I'm coming to think. Or maybe I just chose a really bad set up. Or something. A really contrived set up, anyway. One that makes me wince every time I read the thing over.

Sigh. I suppose i could trash it and start over, but I don't care enough to do that. That's terrible, but it's true.

Meanwhile, there's nothing like writing outside your usual fandom comfort zone to show you where you stand.

*looks at minimal feedback*

I suppose that was to be expected. I did get some very nice fb on these stories, but HP has made me greedy, and the composition of my f- and f-of-lists does not lend itself to fb in other fandoms, I guess.

I'm also kind of startled at how many HP people I run into who are monofannish, and not only that, but for whom HP is their *only* fandom.

I get serial monofannishness, but just having *one* fandom *ever* is a little hard for me to understand.

Meanwhile, I had the crappiest night's sleep ever last night, and got up to pee like every half hour. What is UP with that? It was miserable, and it's making me miserable today.

I didn't think I'd drunk that much water, but I suppose I did.

Meh.

I'd like to write something today that doesn't suck, but first I must finish the hated story.

Sigh.

some call me the midnight cowboy

Ooh, I love this song!

"it's in the way that you use it / it comes and it goes / it's in the way that you use it / boy don't you know"

Anyway. Peanut M&Ms. Of. the. devil. and yet curiously addictive and yummy.

I can't decide.

I'm just eating them because the vending machine had no hershey's kisses and I was dying, dying, I tell you, for something mini and chocolatey.

I'm also writing the Worst Ever R/Hr First Time Story.

It devolves into an AfterSchool Special in the middle, which is meant to be funny, but I have a bad feeling it comes off as preachy.

Still LJ-less... well, I can read my flist (except for f-locked entries and stuff behind cut-tags), but I can't read the comments or make or respond to comments which, frankly, sucks big hairy camel balls.

There is some hot Remus/Sirius/James comment pr0n going on here, which I can read via comment emails, but I'm still suffering LJ-withdrawal. I hate the idea of trimming back my flist, but I think that's what's going to end up happening, becuse last night I had to go to skip=275 or some ridiculous thing, and I got all of two sentences written on the baking fic (Sirius is now greasing the pans and Remus is imagining other, less cake-related uses for Sirius's butter-slicked fingers), and hardly any comments answered and meh...I can't be spending all my time catching up.

Ooh, Steve Miller now.

Anyway. Yeah. It's just irritating, and it's throwing my whole sense of things off. Or that could be my period. Either way...

*whimper*

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

LiveJournal has been blocked at work.

I suppose I will figure out how to deal with this. Right now it's nauseating me, but what are you gonna do?

I suppose I will have to figure out how to post and answer comments via email.

*whimper*

In better news, the Remix...Redux II: Electric Boogaloo archive is open.

Go. Read. Love. Send feedback.

I'm just going to curl up in a corner and whimper helplessly as they've taken my crack away.
