Why did I trust him? [01 Dec 2009|10:24am]

icarusancalion
[ mood | angry and hurt ]

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'll find my dresses in one of the boxes, buried under some books.

I should never have listened to WG.

I was supposed to go to Seattle September 9th. I had the tickets and it was all set. We were going to go through all our things together and split them up. Take things to Goodwill. I was going to help him move. I was going to take him to his oral surgery appointment. I was going to put together furniture for him in his new apartment. I was going to spend some time with Monte kitty to say goodbye.

He called me and asked me not to come. He'd send me my things.

Why did I trust him?

Fucking crossdressers. [01 Dec 2009|09:13am]

I just discovered that WG kept both of my stretch velvet cocktail dresses, the deep blue one and the black one.

That's just beyond the pale.

He went through my stuff and just decided what he wanted to keep. Regardless of whose it was.

snarry_holidays

[snarryhols]
This year [info]snarry_holidays will be collecting links to send into the HP newsletter, the [info]daily_snitch, for both Hot Art and Hot Recs. Fic and art need three recs to qualify (can be posted on IJ, LJ, DW, or JF) and must not be locked. If you see or make any recs for any of this round's gifts, please leave them in the comments on this post. The mods will be on the lookout, too, but we might miss something!

Thanks for your help!

IT'S TIME: SNARRY HOLIDAYS STARTS TODAY! [01 Dec 2009|03:47am]

[snarryhols]
[ mood | excited ]

For many people it's a stressful (if lovely) time of year, and [info]snarry_holidays is ready to insert that special bit of Snarry into your holiday season. ;-) We'll kick start our posting tonight at 9pm EST, so please stick around if you can!

Some notes before we begin:


-- We will start posting today (yay!) December 1, and posting will run until December 23. [info]snarry_holidays will be posting this year at InsaneJournal, LiveJournal, and Dreamwidth. You may comment to any of the sites, though commenting on IJ is encouraged, if possible.

-- With around 60 submissions, we will be posting an average of two gifts per day (a mix of fic and art, of course) with several days of three gifts. We will do our best to space out long fics so that everyone doesn't become too overwhelmed.

-- If you are participating and you have an extension, please keep us updated and get your gift to us ASAP. If we have not heard from you at all, you might be in trouble! *waves modly stick*

-- Thanks so much to [info]elethian, who has agreed to help us proofread!

-- Please remember that feedback and comments are very much encouraged. That being said, please attempt to keep your comments cordial. We know people have strong feelings about Snarry and writing, fic and art, but please play nicely (i.e. no flaming, say something constructive). If you have any questions about what this might constitute, email us at snarryholiday [at] gmail [dot] com. We'll be reading all the comments.

-- We're going to be collecting recs for [info]daily_snitch, so please send us links to your fic and art recs! We're collecting the recs at this post, on IJ. Fic and art need three recs (not locked) to qualify.

-- Please spread the word!

We hope everyone enjoys the all the lovely Snarry coming in the next few weeks! Thanks to all the hard work on behalf of the participants!

Hiiiiiii. [30 Nov 2009|10:18pm]

*comes up for air*

OH GOD, FLIST. Is there any better feeling in the world than finishing a deadlined-fic and sitting back, cracking a beverage of your choice, and just, like, not writing fic for at least 24 hours? a;lskjdf. I like writing fic, don't get me wrong. But that feeling you get after finally finishing something you've been sort of chewing on for awhile? Yeah. That's a damn good feeling. :D

Fic-writing binge included making a pot of coffee and writing several thousand words on my birthday last week, which, aaaaaah, how awesome is that?! It was a great day overall, for several reasons, and thanks so much to everyone who wished me well or got me awesome v-gifts and things like that. ♥ ♥ ♥ ! I really appreciated it. Fic-writing in pyjamas with coffee and chocolate! Nothing better.

I have fic recs from like a hundred years ago that I need to write up, and how on earth is it already December 1 tomorrow?! Well, better do it tomorrow, or you'll all be distracted with shiny holiday fests starting. :)

Speaking of which... you're all posting about which ones you'll be watching, so, sure, here goes: my one real commitment is [info]smutty_claus, because that's the only one I'm in, but I'm also going to keep an eye on [info]snupin_santa, naturally, and probably [info]hp_yule_balls and/or [info]hd_holidays a little bit.

And! [info]r_grayjoy kindly reminded me this morning that I have potential gifts coming from prompts I submitted to [info]daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas fest! Not that I'd forgotten it was happening, but I did forget I'd left prompts a few months ago. *headdesk* I just went back and checked my prompts and THEY ARE AWESOME and got claimed and stuff so I'm super excited to see them. :) By the way, listen: I tend to run around the internet leaving prompts wherever they're solicited, so if you've ever claimed one that is meant to have names attached (I always assume they're just sort of going in an anon pile) and written something for me and I haven't seen it because I fail, point it out to me PLEASE. :)

Random: [info]smutty_claus and Kinky Kristmas have my favourite banners and icons so far, though. Hiiiiii, sexy women in lingerie and boots and stuff. ♥

No matter what fests you're following, though, be sure to take a second and leave a few words of feedback if you see something you like. It doesn't have to be long, and it doesn't have to take much of your time, but OH MY GOD it means the world to an author or artist to know you saw and liked their stuff. :)

Signing off with a teenyfic!rec: The Old School Tie by [info]hereticalvision (Harry/Scorpius, PG-13, 300 words). This was the winning entry in last week's Harry/Scorpius Last Drabble Writer Standing contest, for the theme of 'detention,' and it was this wonderful, creative take on the theme. Totally made me smile.

*re-uploads holiday icons, whee!*

Rainbow Award Covers, Round 6 (Not the Final One Yet) [30 Nov 2009|06:54pm]

[ mood | hopeful ]

Hey, friends, it seems that I misunderstood the rules, and there will be one more round than I expected.

Now we have 20 beautiful covers in the competition. At the end of this round, there will be just 10 contestants. And then we will have the final round.

The cover of Clippings (art by [info]korekan, design by [info]morgan_d) is still competing, and everyone can vote again. Here.

EXTRA LONG: Light as Iron, Singed as Pearl (H/D, NC-17) [30 Nov 2009|08:29am]

pornish_pixies

[snegurochka_lee]
Title: Light as Iron, Singed as Pearl
Author: [info]snegurochka_lee
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~13,800
Warnings: Dom/sub. Bondage. EWE.
Summary: The owner of the elite BDSM club M. had not gained his reputation as the most coveted Dominant on the scene by taking on just any riff-raff submissive who asked. It would take an unexpected letter to convince him to accept a new client, but it might turn out to be the biggest mistake he ever made.
Notes: Written for [info]hd_career_fair last month for this prompt. "Thank you" does not begin to cover my gratitude to the divine [info]marguerite_26, whose handholding, beta work and modly prodding went well beyond the call of duty.

Uh-oh.

My requestee for [info] sga_santa requested a rarepair which I couldn't resist.

And it's ending up with a totally different rarepair in the final scene. Shit.

Any volunteers for a beta? I've been chopping at this fic rather ruthlessly trying to solve quite a few problems.

FIC: In Darkness and Regret (FFIV) [28 Nov 2009|05:47pm]

rushlight
Title: In Darkness and Regret
Author: Rushlight
Fandom: Final Fantasy IV
Pairing: Cecil/Kain
Spoilers: for pretty much the entire game
Summary: Being honest with yourself is the first step toward true happiness, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can get there from here.
Author's Notes: I just recently finished playing FFIV on the DS, and loved it. This little scene popped into my head as I was playing, and while I tried to resist I couldn't help writing it down.
