I promise, I am writing. Siriusly. (but not doing any beta work until thursday. So those chapters will just have to sit there and wait. I know one of them is going to make me cry, so I'm putting it off. The other, I think I may have done already & just be losing my mind.) And I'm also thinking of which 11 sexy men to choose to post pics of for

ltlredhairdgirl. Anyone else wanna play? We need to indulge in gratuitous ogling of sexy men; 11 is the number we picked at random, so post 11 pics of hot men on your lj and share with us. Do yall realize that when my computer got sick last month, I lost all my hottie pics? Help be rebuild my collection!

But for now, linkages! And this is all

mimiheart's fault. Really. Some of this stuff I've been meaning to post links to anyways, but I keep putting it off. So she, being the fantabulous person that she is, has been drawing pics the last several days. Check out this post to see a picture she completed the other day. She also drew me a special pic that won't be revealed yet, but I'm writing a ficlet to go with the picture, just for her. :) However, the reason for this post is the picture she just presented me with: Karissa

For anyone who doesn't know who Karissa is, shame on you! LoL. Just kidding. I know I have flisters that aren't into the HP fandom thing and that didn't read Picking Up the Pieces. It's all good. There was another piece of art done for PutP, done by

ravenpan, who is also wonderific. You can see that picture here.

Now, some self-promotion. The long-awaited Ron-Pansy story now has a title. Garden of Sun and Tears. I know that some of you are skeptical about reading this pairing, but you'll do it anyways because you love me. And I'm actually quite proud of this story. Prologue and first two chapters are posted on OWL; you can read it here.

and a repeat request: My next adventure is a rec list. So, I'd like to request your help with that. Comment and leave me your top 5 all-time favorite fanfics. Any fandom, genre, pairing, length, rating, whatever. Also, you guys know what I read. I'd like recs of something different, if you have them. Pairings other than H/D or R/S, fandoms other than HP. What do you say?

Recs:

Race to the Cock Rock of Rohan by

alliwantisanelf

Considerate Lover by

296 Ways to Seduce a Teacher by

The Misadventures of Chibi and Padfoot by chibi_n_padfoot (one half of that is

lilpadfoot16)

I was gonna rec something by

jasmineskie, but all her new stuff is flocked. But you can visit her journal and read some of her older Viggorli and fall in love with her and beg her to friend you so you can read the newer stuff. *g* It's definitely worth it!

And a mission for all of you: I need some volunteers. Someone needs to go poke

ravenpan until she updates Innocence Lost and someone needs to go light a fire (no pun intended but it's amusing nevertheless) under

alliwantisanelf so she'll work on Firestorm. Or help me find a way to tempt their muses into cooperating.

Okay, I'd better go do something before

deliciantasy gets back and expects to find I've gotten something written. *g*

Oh, and

snarkyroxy? I was going around all day today either saying or trying to keep myself from saying "Fuck that for a joke." I completely blame you! *g*

Threaded | Flat

ah ha... *sneaks up on you*

Sorry... I took meds... they knocked me out. I'm still really woosy in fact, so I'll catch you tomorrow.

ps... icon is so I'll remember to dream of fic, you should too!!! I get the best ideas in my dreams... except for the bloody walls.....

Thank you for the thought, sweetie! I'm pretty easy. *whispers - don't tell anyone!* Well, when it comes to friending anyway. ;) All someone has to do is ask... no begging necessary. *g*

I don't think I could narrow my own rec list down to five fics. Pretty much anything by

chaosmanor and anything by

razzleslash would be on that list, as would "Palpitations" and "Chalk Butterfly" by

cynical_terror. I'm sure there are others I love that I'm forgetting. Uhm... like "If" by

jenlynn820 and

thingsunseen's Gone to Carolina.

1st, OMG! you recced my awful drawble! *faints in amazement*

2nd: I'm TRYING!!! Draco's not cooperating, he's too busy staring in Harry's eyes *sighs* *cries*

How delightful!

I'm pimped all over and then spanked heartily at the end! What more could I ask for??????

Oh yeah, baby! (c al) Thanks, luv!

All my recs would be LotR related, if you're still interested, let me know and I'll work on a list.... :-D

You are too sweet. *hugs*

BTW, my kids say that it's a picture of me, and the unrevealed one is "Daddy." *sigh*

PEOPLE NEED TO POST HOT GUYS!! Cause I am feeling so unbelieveably sick. :( :(

Thanks for the rec, hon! *beams*

Must work on a rec list to share with you. You'll find many already in my memories under My Favorite Fics (or whatever I titled it), but there are so many others that aren't on lj.

Oh goodness. Go read this now:

Title: A Holiday of Sorts
