Card poll answers revealed!
The owl drops a card into your outstretched hands - and from the tiny, untidy handwriting, you can just about guess it’s from me.. Unfortunately, the chocolate I’d put inside as well as the story proved too tempting for beaks to resist, and the rain has got in and spoiled much of the rest.
( So, here are the answers behind the polls - hope this works and that filling in the gaps is at least moderately amusing! ) -
Music lyric quiz
Because it's a bank holiday here. I suppose I should have posted it earlier to be more in the spirit of newspapers giving you things to entertain yourself with, just in case you were totally lost without work (sorry, maple_clef...) but, erm, I forgot ( Read more... ) -
The Hogwarts Development Office: Part 2
catkind told me a couple of entries ago about her One LJ Rule - Never Apologise. This is an excellent rule, and I apologise for not being able to keep to it :-)I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update this. I'm still not completely happy with it, but if I don't post it, I'll never get on to the next part where I feel the heart of the story is (actually, ( Read more... ) -

I have been rubbish at LJ recently. Sorry, everyone, for fics not commented on, achievements not applauded, discussions not joined in, memes not stolen... Usual RL reasons - general cheerful summer business such as weddings and birthday parties on the one hand, and less cheerful "so remind me exactly what I'm doing with my life" feelings on the ( Read more... ) -

Still just about time to wish rosemaryandrue happy birthday! Hope you've had a lovely day. Sorry I haven't managed to write that Brid drabble yet... I am useless!
But, everyone else, rosemaryandrue is as productive as I am shamefully short of words, and she writes great Marauders-era fic - and even though I'm not much of an R/Ser she frequently manages to win me over, ( Read more... ) -
Post-war fic!
Well, the recent JKR interview was going to be the starting point for a discussion I've been having with myself about the various endings it's possible to have for favourite characters - do we always want the happy ending? However, I was then going to end up with a fic which has already taken me a ridiculously long time to finish, given that it was ( Read more... ) -
Hurrah! - and Dr Who question
Don't know why it took me so long to find this out, but just in case you hadn't heard, the National Portrait Gallery has managed to raise the money to buy that John Donne portrait (see icon!) - which is Very Good News. I would have felt very guilty if not, since I was fully intending to donate some money and never got round to it ( Read more... ) -
Oh, go on then...
You know the score - you're all doing it....
1. Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.
2. Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.
3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like.Don't worry if you feel ( Read more... ) -
Out of the shadows and on to the bandwagon...
Stolen from absolutely everyone, it's the Ten Things JKR Never Wrote Meme. In my case, with very few exceptions it's also the Ten Things Dolabella Never Wrote, since I wander round happily adding bits and pieces to my world but so rarely get things down on paper/screen. There's no pub but a couple of clubs, and of course a Compulsory Wilkes Fact ( Read more... )
