FictionAlley Park Post - JKR, Black!Hermione, and the Salem Witch Trials
Not sure if anyone is still reading this, but I thought I'd re-post something I just wrote in FictionAlley Park on the "Can't Stand Extra Non-Book Information From JKR" thread ( Read more... ) -
Johnlock
I started watching Sherlock on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, and now I've watched the whole thing. I went into it knowing that there were a lot of "Johnlock" shippers, but that actually didn't have too much to do with why I was watching it. At the end of the first season, I didn't quite see where the shippers were coming from, mostly because the ( Read more... ) -
Writer's block
I've been writer's-blocked on the next chapter of Another Prisoner, Another Professor for almost two years now. O_O It doesn't help that I've spent most of that time off my regular medications. (Another few months until Marauder Junior hopefully gets weaned...) I'm actually at the point now where I have some time to update it, but I am blocked, ( Read more... ) -
"This edition features new modernized text"
Motherhood has left me without time to do a lot of things, but reading books isn't one of them. Marauder Junior is breastfed and usually eats with her eyes closed or with her arm thrown over her face, so she doesn't particularly care if I'm reading a book while she's eating. I prop up the book on a little stand in front of me (I feed her sitting on ( Read more... ) -
Halloween and Marauder Junior
Last year on Halloween, I decided during the middle of the day to go see the remake of Carrie by myself, and went. This year on Halloween, my mom is coming over so I can take a nap, after which I'm taking my seven-week-old daughter to go get her picture taken in her Halloween costume. She's going to be a pirate ( Read more... ) -
Marauder Junior is here
Marauder Junior - who is a little girl - was born on September 10 via C-section. We're home from the hospital and I'm doing my best to cope with all the feelings and responsibilities. I love her and I'm very glad she's here safely. Online time will be very limited for some time. -
Marauder Junior, Thane of Fife
Remember last entry, when I said "The reality that I actually have to push out this kid in another few weeks is setting in"? Well, now it appears I'm not going to be pushing Marauder Junior out at all, because s/he is still in a breech position at 36 weeks and unless s/he manages to flip, it looks like I'm having a C-section. This is going to be my ( Read more... ) -
Marauder Junior update
Posting because I haven't posted in a few months - I'm 34 weeks pregnant and pretty preoccupied with getting all the baby stuff together. Marauder Junior has gotten really big (although on the smaller side compared to other babies the same age) and likes kicking me a lot. We don't know if we're having a boy or a girl. Room theme is bunnies. I've ( Read more... ) -
Wizard rock allegations
Having been preoccupied with Marauder Junior, I only now just found out that a number of sexual abuse/sexual coercion allegations were made against some people in the wizard rock community a couple of months ago. Although Mr. Marauder and I had a wrock band called The First Task Is Dragons and I wrote for Wizrocklopedia for a while, I was never "in ( Read more... ) -
Urgh
Okay, not going to go into the circumstances that prompted this post, but...it is not okay to engage in stereotyping about only children and then claim that you can do that because you yourself are an only child. Having said that, it is extremely not okay to engage in stereotyping about only children and claim you can do that because you yourself ( Read more... )
