New community (HP slash)

[bagoasalexander]

I've created a new community on livejournal for Sirius/Lucius slashers (we are so few it seems). Join and participate. sirius_luciusFor the Alexander people, right now I'm trying to get used to my new work and school schedule (as well as figure out how I'm going to do 3 papers, 2 book reviews and 3 presentations). Give me a bit and I'll be posting Alexander

Good luck on finding a good reproduction bust (never mind an affordable one). I've seen a number of them, but they often appear to be cheaply done, and rarely based on a real bust. I do have one in my office, passed to me by Gene when he retired, that had been bought for him by some students when they were in Greece, because of the wrong dates on the bottom (gives ATG as 400 BCE!). It's actually not a bad copy of the Azara herm (which I tend to regard as the most true-to-life, in any case), but that's the best I've seen, and it came from the Plaka in Athens. 8} I've never seen a single one in this country that I wanted to waste money on spend money on. ;>

I'm so glad you skipped over the entire HP slash thing. I was hesitant on how to explain that to a professor. I wasn't sure how to explain my slash tendencies should you have asked at the conference...LOL!

Ebay had an interesting replica but it was too 'antiqued'. Probably wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't so...brown.

I have only a vague notion of what 'slash' is -- mostly what I've gathered from reading LJs.

I'm writing back to Dr. Loftus tonight, with information. I've also been in contact with an old school buddy of mine, up at St. Olaf's, on the possibility of organizing a specifically Greek panel for next year -- maybe even two, if we can get the participation. Last year we did a professorial classical panel and then another with grad students. So we'll definitely be looking for participants. I'm willing to chair the panel, and can probably poke colleagues around here for papers, and divide down the panel(s), depending on what we get. The more participation, the more specific the panels can be. Twould be cool if we could get Greek, Roman and grad students. We shall see.

Alas, Nicky, I went over there a long time ago. Too late. LOL! But this is a new pairing for me, so rest assured. And I don't write the HP stuff often, anyway. I promise I'm not leaving Alexander fics...as if. LOL! In fact, I got more going on in this little brain of mine than I know what to do with.

Ask your parents where they came up with that bust, would you? I WANT ONE! My living room is crawling with Egyptian stuff (mostly Tut and the gods) but it needs a nice Grecian balance. Preferably Hellenistic and specifically Alexander...LOL! Of course, I have a lot of fantasy art pieces up too...the Archangel series by Ruth Thompson being one entire wall. That woman can draw. I wonder if she can be badgered into historical pieces....hmmmm... Now there's a thought...

The other night I thought you were mad at me, running off to the bathroom all the time. LOL! You weren't mad at me or anything were ya? It was geniune emergencies? (wry grin)
