So, I ended up being the mom last night. But it's okay b/c I still had a good time. And I got to do a lot of flirting with the hot bartender.

Fic Recs for a Saturday Morning:

I haven't been reading much of anything lately, but I caught sight of this on [livejournal.com profile] _emeraldgreen's LJ and even though it's not an official fic or whatever, it reminded me of how much I love her writing style, so I have to share.

A bit of Marauder-era porn featuring Remus/James, along with some James/Sirius, Remus/Sirius and quite a bit of James/Regulus.

Now... some of you know that I have secret affection for Harry/Luna. And my de wrote an awesome H/L kinda story for [livejournal.com profile] reversathon. It's 4000 words of major angst and dark themes.

Request/Summary: Harry/Luna. Post-war. Harry's miserable, drinking himself into oblivion type thing. Along comes Luna to sort him out. Doubt, insecurities, etc. Up to you whether she manages to sort him out or it all ends up rather postmodern and ambiguous.

You can find it here: Believe

And speaking of H/L, one of my favorite stories has been completed. Azar Darkstar's How to Tell the Truth from the Lies can be found on OWL/Tauri if you're a member there and on ff.net if you're not. It's a multi-chaptered, AU, Harry-is-Salazar story, with a very interesting twist on canon and other commonly accepted HP-truths. It's definitely worth a read, but there are dark/mature themes, violence, death, etc.

Now... I'm off to the Voldemort store and to the creek for the afternoon. I have an original short story to post later, if anyone wants to volunteer to read over it before I do (except for krystal b/c it's for her and I can't ask her to betaread her own present). It's short and kinda schmoopy, but oh well. *g*

Happy Saturday everyone!!!

WAIT!! I forgot to ask... Would anyone (or multiple someones) be interested in trying to get together a multifandom Y!M chat tomorrow evening?

YAY FIC!! AND I WANT TO FANDOM CHAT TOMORROW!

Wow...something lately makes me want to capslock anytime I leave you a comment. I don't know what my problem is.

I'm retarded and forgot I have a stupid baby barbeque to go to this evening. So I was thinking we could do an evening chat, like 8 or so my time? Or else we can do an afternoon kinda chat, starting at like 2 my time? The evening one would be awesome, but I figured I'd get a couple of opinions...

And I love you when you're all capslocky! We got distracted by the firemen last night and didn't get home until nearly 11, and I went straight to bed. Sorry!

Sounds like a plan to me. I can do either, I'm pretty sure.

Distraction's alright. I got distracted by my friend Odeh's friend Zack who looks a lot like Heath Ledger. It happens. :-p

No worries!

I'm time zone impaired...how far apart are we? I'm having lunch with a friend at noon and then I have to go to bed around 10 p.m. CST, 'cause it's a work night. But otherwise, I'll be around. *smooches*

[identity profile] why-me-why-not.livejournal.com 2006-08-20 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
if you're central time then we're an hour apart. So, 8 my time is 7 your time and that gives us a couple hours to chat? Sound doable?

[identity profile] why-me-why-not.livejournal.com 2006-08-20 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
evening chat then? for a couple of hours, at least?

[identity profile] ltlredhairdgirl.livejournal.com 2006-08-20 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a plan. :) Around 8ish still?

[identity profile] wendy.livejournal.com 2006-08-20 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes ma'am, I'll be here!
