Seventeenth chapter of my second Harry Potter fanfic.

So I go away for like 5 minutes, and the mods put the SS/HG Exchange reveal up, and then suddenly I have a new friend on LJ, and then...SQUEE!

It turns out that the exquisitely funny 'Whom the Gods Annoy' was given to me by the famous dickgloucester, who is a marvellous writer, quite without peer, and my new friend. :-) If you're reading this, ( Read more... )

It seems that whoever wrote my exchange gift has achieved a hit-a palpable hit!

pokeystar has put together a soundtrack to go with the fic, and it is AWESOME.

I highly recommend that you make this a top playlist! I know I am. :-)

Also-Mystery Author, if you're reading this: you kick ass. Just sayin'.

Catching up on the SS/HG Exchange at the mo. So much good stuff! My week was ri-donk-ulously busy, so I'm about 10 stories behind, but I'm loving them all so far.

Thank goodness today's weather has been lousy. I've been working on my exchange fic since ten o'clock this morning, which would have been difficult in the face of drink-Pimms-in-the-park temptation.

I took a brief break to watch Dr Who. Amy Pond is my new hero. Also, I thought David Tennant was hot, but Matt Smith is way tastier. Mmm.

For people who don't want to read about others' health problems, I've put mine under the cut. For the curious and the advice-givers, read on.

( So I had this cramp... )

In his incarnation of Leader of the UK Libertarian Party, the Brain-Lover gave a speech a couple of months ago at the Oxford Libertarian Society, a video of which they have posted on their blog.

I moseyed over to check out the video, as one does, and - check out the sole comment below it!I laughed and laughed. I have made fantasy reality. I have ( Read more... )
