7:47 am - Fic announcement
|
Some of you may recall my attempts at finishing NaNoWriMo in 2005. I had had an idea for a "Snape and Lupin in Nazi Germany" fic, and actually wrote about 9,000 words before the story stalled completely. I am very pleased to announce that, due to the urging of my friend Karen, the patience of ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) _lore, and the beta work of red_day_dawning, knitprincess, and neonsatire, that situation has been remedied.
*drum roll*
Presenting my contribution to the Snupin: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut project:
Title: The Chemical Wedding of Albrecht Grindelwald
Rating: R for Nazi medico-magical experiments
Pairing: Snape/Lupin pre-slash
Illustrators: mayflo, shadowycat, zephre
Summary: December, 1938. As Christmas approaches, Heidelberg, home of the Student Prince, prepares to host a great celebration. All is in readiness for the wedding of the Führer's favorite, Albrecht Grindelwald, as he prepares to take a young and beautiful bride: the castle, the guests, the spells that will ensure a long and fruitful marriage.
Only two men know why Grindelwald is to marry here, and marry now: Remus Lupin and Severus Snape. Why have they come from the future to disrupt the greatest moment of the Wizarding Reich?

8:40 pm - My thanks to....
|
skree_ratling, for writing a fic that I absolutely 100% love: Once Upon A War. Parts of it won't make sense if you're not familiar with the SCA, but it had me longing for Cooper's Lake by the end of the first paragraph.
And for those who haven't seen it...
Here's my exchange gift to arionrhod, Wedding Bell Blues. If you don't like Bridezillas or extreme snark, don't click...;)

7:43 pm - Belated Christmas thanks
|
To the following kind and generous people:
To harpnfiddle, for a beautiful little Teneriffe lace butterfly.
To Una and her mother, for a plush bathrobe that nearly makes me swoon every time I put it on.
To helwen, for a curious and very effective little "lotion bar" that looks like soap and becomes shea butter hand lotion when rubbed between the palms.
To arionrhod, for a lovely flower arrangement with balsam, juniper, and a snowglobe.
To the anonymous fandom writer who fulfilled my request better than I could have imagined.
To everyone who sent me a holiday card and brightened my living room with reminders of friendship.
To Todd and Barbara, for a wonderful book on the Middle Ages.
To bronze_ribbons, for a curious, elegantly quirky little book on the little-known and fascinating aspects of travel in Italy.
To all my friends, here and out in the world, for being you. *hug*

7:24 am - Princess Bride meme
|
When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride. Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.
(after long description of Count Rugen's eyes bulging out and face going black after he has a coronary):
It was disgusting, unless you liked that sort of thing.
Inigo loved it.

Is it terribly cynical of me to think that the studio has pushed back the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince because the movie isn't coming together so well in the studio and they're taking the extra time to re-edit it?
In short, could it be that they're delaying it because it sucks and they're hoping to save it in post-production? Because otherwise this move makes zero sense economically.

9:30 am - Harry/Slughorn picture
|
|
Am I the only person who thinks that this picture looks like Slughorn is asking Harry for something rather dirty in exchange for that bottle of Felix Felicis?

7:24 am - LivelongnMarry
|
I was high bidder on two auctions (for fics by celandineb and mnemosyne_1, and have accordingly made a $200 donation to Mass Equality, the Massachusetts organization that works to preserve equal marriage here in the Bay State.
I did in honor of an anonymous woman who killed herself in the 1950s. She was a good friend of my aunt's who evidently fell in love with Betty and told her of her feelings, and Betty (a lifelong homophobe) reacted so violently that the woman committed suicide. $200 isn't much, especially when measured against a human life cut short. But it's the only way I can think of to balance the scales, since I'm the last person left who knows the story.
So - may my donation help preserve marriage equality in Massachusetts, and extend it to out of staters (they're working to repeal a 1913 law that prevents non-residents from marrying here should gay marriage not be legal in their home states). There has been enough tragedy.
UPDATE: The Massachusetts Senate voted to repeal the 1913 law today. It now goes to the House. Governor Deval Patrick has already said he will sign the repeal legislation when it comes to his desk.
God, I love my state.
