Busy bee

[pyjamapants]

Yesterday was the day of digging into a giant nasty pile of crap that had been festering on my to do list. All kinds of icky grown-up things that I'd been putting off. I feel better for having tackled most of it (or at least getting the ball rolling for some of the items). Who am I kidding? I feel like I deserve a flipping medal. :) There's still quite a bit of looming ick to be handled, but I'm feeling a little more on top of things, and the muse has returned!

The big exciting news is that the lm_hgficxchange  is open for prompts! It's the first time this particular exchange has run. So far, we only have 12 sets of prompts. The prompts are superb and should be lots of fun to write. If you want to play along but are having trouble coming up with a prompt, let me know and I'll be happy to lend you a hand. My muse seems to like coming up with them. My problem is that I've come up with one prompt I lurrrrve and don't exactly want to include backups. :) Prompts are due by the 10th, and fics aren't due until May 17th. Plenty of time to write a story featuring every one's second favorite DE.

*awards you medal*

And as I am ever subservient to good ideas... have submitted a request to join the lm_hgficexchange...

:)

*squish*

Thank you, thank you. *bows*

I'd like to thank everyone who made this victory possible: the realtor, the county property tax assessor, the helpful people manning the state tax helpline, and so one.

Woohoo! I hooked another one into the exchange. Please, pimp away on your own journal.

*hmm* Am tempted to write 'saddlebacking' prompt and assign it to you. *evil grin*

EDIT: although I can't imagine Hermione proposing something so illogical. Luna perhaps?

There'd have to be a spell or something...


I can see Hermione doing it if there was a good magical reason for her to preserve her hymen - but the idea is so ridiculous to begin with that it'd descend into farce really quickly.

*bats down bunnies*

I'm reminded of Shiv's fic How Hermione Granger lost her Hymen and Found True Love (or, why Ronald Weasley should have practiced harder at Quidditch, but Snape and Malfoy were a safe pair of hands

Since you're one of the mods, couldn't you use your modly privileges and either indicate clearly which one is your favourite or, even better, assign it to an author you're sure can write it to your satisfaction?

Er, well technically I could do all many of crafty things to assure my awesome prompt sees the light of day. :) Too much fiddling seems like cheating. (I have the mind of a Slytherin with the conscience of a Gryff. Pesky combination)

I was definitely planning on asking the writer to please, please pick my first prompt unless their muse was completely uninspired.

We shall see. :)

All right, I'm doing it *looks around at piles of crap - tax stuff - et caetera - whines*

Oh, and you might like to amend that "every one's second favorite DE" (or at least add "with exceptions") -- I know I'm nobody and useless since I cannot write, but the only way I could use LM is 10 years serving in social services, "social services" meaning no less than on a garbage truck, with required outfit and max allowed hair length 3 mm. Marsh! ( I DO believe in educational worth of hard work :DDD )

Good luck with the exchange all the same: I may dislike LM, but I love my flisters (especially those combining Slyth minds and Gryff consciences - how deeefficult to live with!) :-***

Not an LM fan. Duly noted. :)

I'm honestly not sure why I am. I think it's because I've read enough SS/LM/HG fics that I've acknowledged he can be entertaining in fanon.

Good luck with your pile of crap.
