If you want to read a scary little story about just how insane some people can be, and how hard it is, on the internet, to tell truth from lies and reality from, well, something not quite reality, I suggest that you take a look at "The MsScribe Story" by charlottelennoxApart from being a very gripping read and a masterpiece of deduction that Sherlock Holmes ( Read more... )

Monday night, after midnight. I’m not packing my bag. I’m not reading conference papers. I’m looking for a spare ink cartridge for my printer. Desperately. Why do all those in my desk drawer have to be empty? I’m beginning to panic. After all, I'll soon be ( meeting Kennahijja. )

With nothing to report for myself, here's a little note on someone else's work:

aillil has written me a lovely Sirius/Lucius drabble which you can read here. You should, because it's very good. It's like a camera move out of a French movie, if you know what I mean. And it proves once more that there is waaaay too little Sirius/Lucius fanfic being ( Read more... )

I'm finally finding the time to upload the bits and pieces of my writing to The Archive at the End of the Universe.

Nice place, that. The only place where you can archive everything, no matter what you write. Even meta, which is great ( Read more... )

So, who would have thought - after two months of silence and, I admit it, absence from the fandom I’m ready to let myself be catapulted right back into it.

I KNEW IT!” and rubbing other people’s noses in the fact that by some sort of lucky guess, they managed to predict some or other piece of the new canon. And I’d decided that no matter just how dead Sirius would prove to be in ( Read more... )

Having just stopped by the bookshop on my way home to make a reservation for a copy of book 6 for Saturday (it should tell you something about my current state of mind that I’ve only remembered today that I still needed to do that), I was thinking back over the past two years and all the speculation and new theories and unanswered questions that ( Read more... )

Firstly, the wonderful fenoire, who usually writes under the name of Fenice, has translated my most recent* fic, "A Cup of Kindness", into FRENCH!!

The result - "Les Amis du Temps Passé" - is quite amazing. Even with "Les Sentiments d'un Jouet" (the French version of "To Serve a Purpose" (R)) to compete against, fenoire has quite outdone herself. fenoire has been so ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I had a very nice Harry Potter-y evening ( Read more... )

I don’t believe this, I make a humble request over at the pornish_pixies Fantasy Fest for that Lucius/Sirius/Regulus threesome that still has to be written one day, without any hope that anyone will be even remotely inspired to write it - and I get the most fantastic fics along those lines delivered right to my doorstep. Forget the pornish_pixies, folks.
