The Magic Continues!

This is a belated (I've been traveling, yeay!) notice that the Snarry-A-Thon Reveal has been posted, and I can now take credit for my story Etudes d'esprit.  Go give it--as well as the other entries--a read, and though the fest is over, feel free to still comment! 

Also visit katiebell_0408's fic Expecting the Unexpected, which was written on my prompt.  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, kabal42!!!!!

Hope your day is glorious!!!!!!

My fic/gift was posted today on Snarry Swap--I encourage everyone to go visit, and say something nice to the lovely centaury_squill.
My favorite parts are the professions of the main characters, the contrasts with some canon stuff, and Harry's....  well, I don't want to insert spoiler warnings, so I'll just shut up.  Go look for yourself, go on.......

Yes We Can and Yes We Did!

Last night, I laughed, I cried, I lit candles.  Oh, yes, and yesterday, I voted--as did so many more of my countrypeople. 

Scroll down for the video of the full speech

in two days! I'm participating in WriSoMiFu this month. I'd really wanted to try NaNoWriMo, but knew that I'd crap out after a few days. But even I can handle 10 minutes of writing a day. Just knowing that only 10 minutes are required is enough to fire up the laptop and actually open Word. After that, I usually type until something interrupts. It's really like going to the gym: the hardest part is just putting on your sneakers. After that, you're essentially coasting through remembered moves.......

So, I'm working on my FF.net Snarry (Changing of the Winds) that I'd started back in the summer. I want to get four or five more chapters written and edited before I resume the posting I'd halted to finish my snarry_holidays submission. Speaking of which, go there--they've begun posting, and so far, the works are incredible (and please, review if possible!). I adore well-written/drawn, challenging stories and art (OK, I love porn, but porn with thoughtful, thought-provoking plot is even better!), and last year, Snarry Holidays became associated with such work in my mind. I'm so excited that I participated this year. Posting goes through the month of November. See if you can guess which one is mine!

Just finished final edits on my snarry_holidays story!!!! Now I can go back to doing the work for which I actually get paid!

Three questions:

1. Have any of you ever done NaNoWriMo? I was thinking of giving it a shot next month. Love to hear anyone's experiences on it.

2. Is anyone else having problems with the Rich text mode when posting on their journals? When I try to use it, all I get on my screen is a narrow, white band where the posting window should be. I've had to go back to HTML screen, and trying to code my link above, discovered that I've grown quite lazy.....

3. I'd like to hear from folks about their beta experiences. Do you have someone regular, are there types of writing (slash, comes immediately to mind) that they won't read, etc? I ask because I lost my sometime beta because his SO found my snarry piece, and immediately saw that it was slash (though there were only a couple of scenes buried somewhere around page 26 of 52--she had to have been fully reading the beast!) so he's not in the picture right now (now that I've finally gotten him to beta my slash scenes, sigh.....) Anyway, what is the best way to find a beta?

I just wanted to point folks to a boo-tiful drawble drawn by twilightsorcery for my birthday. It's the "Look at me!" scene from DH, and I'm tickled pink with delight, particularly since she was squeezing it in between her work on her magnificent Snarry Games pic and being sick!

thanks, girl!

I would like to just post a rec for drachenmina's story Her Eyes on HPFandom. 

It is another Severus saves Harry Snarry fic, with a delightful twist on the genre.  While I would have liked to see it deal a bit more with Harry's reactions to his ordeal, I was entranced by the high quality of the writing, the interactions between the boys, and the snarky dialogue.  Snape is firmly ensconced in the muggle world, with television, a CD player, and pub buddies.  One thing the author does well is one of my squees(!):  her version of Harry is a really enjoyable example of the clueless-but-savvy-when-it-counts Harry Potter!!!!!!

There were tons of hysterical moments, but the following give you an example of the high level of delicious snark: 

“Do you think pirates used to fancy each other?”

“That, Potter, is quite possibly the most naïve thing you have ever said. You have a group of men whose morals are even looser than that of the populace at large, out at sea for months on end, sleeping in many cases three to a bunk - ”

“Oh. So you reckon they were all shagging each other blind, then? Well, I s’pose that’d explain why they all had eye-patches.”

Hope you read, and enjoy!

Pairing:   Harry/Severus
Rating:  NC-17
Warnings: Mild D/s. Just barely outside PWP and written before DH.

Written for the 2007 Reversathon Prompt:  Harry Potter/Severus Snape rating: R or up will be great.  Post-Hogwarts, Post-war. Severus Snape has always pretended to be a top, but actually he is a bottom and has always searched for his "one and only" top. It happens to be Harry.

Smutty slash with Bottom!Snape and Powerful!Harry, and anything else the author feels like adding.

Summary:  With his new-found freedom, Snape seeks to improve his non-existent sex life, not recognizing the answer is right under his nose.

Written for The Two Broomsticks Fic Challenge. Prompt 12: HP/SS. “So this is what love feels like.” Would like to see Sev being rescued by a protective and powerful Harry who appreciates all his sacrifices & treats him the way he deserves. Happy ending an absolute must.

A/N: Byrdie, I tried for more action, but the muse, she kept getting all drowsy and domestic! Hope you still like it. Thanks to Sansa and Empathic Siren for the challenge, to I got Tired of Waiting for hosting this fic, and to all of the participants for the prompts and stories.
