    Well... it's been a long time since *that's* happened...
    I haven't tripped the 'skeevy old perv' radar for a long time now. Generally I read outside the prey group for them, but I drew one today, and he was both obtuse, and immune to the 'gentle brush off'. It was kinda funny, in a sad sort of way, to find it happening today. Well... a sad, and 'I need to wash my hands now' sort of way, at least.

    Went out hat hunting today -- unsuccesfully, although I did score some great resale items, and a ripping pair of naughty librarian shoes. No hat fit the bill though, alas. One of the hunting grounds one hits when one is looking for a hat to mutilate and remake into an 1830's Fascinator, is the ubiquitous Salvation Army store.

    That's where my 'admirer' drew a bead on me, and then proceeded to follow me around the store, making idle chitchat, most of which involved asking dozens of questions about me -- most designed to lead him to pertinent predatory information, such as where I lived, and with whom, and whether I had any family nearby. You know, the sort of thing serial killers want to know. The funny thing was, he in no way *read* as dangerous. Hinky, sure. Skeevy, absolutely, and no way was I inclined to let him know where to come looking for me, but he didn't trip my Predator radar, and that's pretty well-honed these days, I must confess. He read as a lonely, slightly confused, slightly dazzled old man of limited means, and not much understanding of personal space, who wanted to talk to a girl that wasn't afraid to look him in the eye. And anyway, he kind of ran away when he learned that, instead of living in an apartment with female roommates, I was married. I shrugged and smirked a bit, and considered the encounter finished.

    Until I passed him and his stinky cigar outside, on my way to the car. He came shuffling after me, calling more questions, and I decided to be polite to him, and indulge him in a bit more conversation. I realize, reading over the preceeding, that friends will be shaking their heads and calling me an idiot for stopping, but I haven't entirely set the scene aright; it was a bright, sunny day today. I was in full view of the store's entrance, and there were three men within fifty yards, loading donated clothing into a truck. Also, while the man was taller than I, and might have weighed just a bit more, he was palsied, slow, and had one hand occupied in hanging onto the natty rag of a cheroot he'd chewed nearly to pieces -- nobody who loves a cigar that thoroughly is going to drop it on the ground just for a chance grab. I was in no doubt of being able to defend myself, should I need to.

    And really, I was more bemused by him than anything else... He asked some more leading questions; did I shop at this grocery store, did I live on a steep or a gentle hill, and suchlike. I gave vague and misleading answers, and let him chatter about other people he knew from various places, and pepper me with the occasional compliment. Asking if he could kiss me though, was where the line got drawn. Getting pushy about it and trying to insist that he kiss me on the mouth... well, that was a big ol "nuh UH!" I pushed him off, laughing to take the sting out of "dude, I don't even know you!" Then I patted him on the arm, said I needed to get going, and left.

    So here's the brain-twist. I know that sociopaths pass -- that's how they survive, that's how they hide, and most of all, that's how they hunt. But I also know that part of that hunting parameter is based in a deep, instinctual perception of safe victim types. I haven't read 'victim' since I was 14, and the only place I have ever 'read' floozie, was at renfaires, when I was playing such. Even at burlesque, I never made myself available to the audience for grab-arse and chatting-up between acts. So he might have been just a lonely old man who asked hinky questions and didn't want to heed 'no,' he could have been a psycho with a taste for Tiger, but without the organization to plan his drop, or I could have another interesting encounter with him sometime in the future.

    Based on my instincts, I'm going with the first notion. But rest assured, I'll let you know if he turns up again.
    If he tries to kiss me again, I might need to take up a collection for bail money though.
    I'm just sayin'.

    Fic Rec
    Okay, so. Confession time. I've been a bad reader/commenter lately. Of course, I've had my head buried in my own fic, but that's no excuse. So, starting now, I'm going to try my hardest to rec something(s) every single day.

    Today I read a fic that just... Okay. Wait. First of all, I read several fics today, and enjoyed them all muchly. But this one particular fic really sparked something inside of me. It was everything I love about Snarry. The witty snark, the sort of adorably bumbling Harry, completely abused by life but still maintaining his stiff upper lip Snape... gah, it was just fantastic. It was hilarious and sweet and hot and perfect.

    I encourage everyone to rush over to [info]snarry_holidays and read Monkey Business.

    Caution: You might want to massage your grinning muscles before you go over there. Get them good and ready to grin HARD for however long it will take you to read an 8k+ fic. Because you will. :D From start to finish, you will grin like a devil, if you're anything like me.

    Now. Go!

    Fic: Dust of Snow
    Title: Dust of Snow
    Author: Is Snogging Someone Under The Mistletoe
    Giftee: [info]who_la_hoop
    Word Count: 10,200
    Rating: NC17, but not by loads.
    Pairing: ...Snarry?
    Warnings: none, unless you think EWE is a warning.
    Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
    Summary: Severus wakes up, to his surprise, but he has some catching up to do.
    Author's Notes: The prompt included relative equality of Snape and Harry, and for Snape to be rescued/saved by Harry. Severus was surprisingly uninterested in bringing quite the usual measure of snark or bitterness, but maybe he's just turned over a new leaf? Thanks to I and V for reading through.

    Round one is over, and I can proudly lay claim to my pretties.

    Title: How to Embarrass Scorpius Malfoy
    Name: [info]faynia
    Prompt: #011 - Scorpius kept accurate account in his head: up to this point, Albus has kissed him exactly twenty-seven times. The weird thing about it? None of those kisses were placed anywhere near his face.
    Prompt Given by: [info]grey_hunter
    Word Count: 755
    Rating: PG
    Betas: [info]lesyeuxverts
    Author's Notes: I’d like to thank everyone who suggested a part of the body for Al to kiss. It was a big help in finishing this fic.
    Summary: Squeaking was undignified, but Scorpius wasn't sure he had any dignity left.

    Name: [info]faynia
    Prompt: #007 - "I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it." -- Mae West

    Word Count: ~8,000
    Rating: NC-17

    Warnings: EWE, live!Snape and hot buttsex of a top!Snape variety :D
    Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
    Summary: Trapped in a sort-of coma with only Harry Potter’s visits for dubious comfort, Severus Snape learns many things – including the beneficial power of irritation upon the healing process, and the positive things that can come from failing at Occlumency. (The less said about the monkeys, the better).
    Author's Notes: [info]jin_fenghuang, you asked for slash with yummy chair!sex and I was most happy to oblige! I hope you enjoy this fic, and a very happy Snarry Holidays to you! Thanks also to the mods, who are, as always, the absolute best. ♥

    So, the 10th is a heck of a lot closer than I thought it'd be from the otherside of NaNo, which means I'm desperately seeking out someone who can help me gather my thoughts and poke holes in my rather shoddy outline for my Next Gen fic. It's AS/S, it's sorta plotty, it's definitely going to need an extension (heh), any takers?

    Fic: Deconstruction: A Writer's Tale
    Title: Deconstruction: A Writer's Tale
    Author: A would-be clever girl
    Giftee: [info]femmequixotic
    Word Count: Approximately 4,700
    Rating: Approximately PG-13 (but there is some swearing and some implied naughtyness)
    Pairing: Why, Harry and Severus, of course.
    Warnings: AU, AR, Severus and Harry living as Muggles, existential ramblings, attempts at high-concept meta, disregard of the epilogue entirely, and a few bad words.
    Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
    Summary: What is love but a contrivance? Let us, gentle reader, deconstruct love and determine for ourselves what it is and what it isn't.
    Author's Notes My dearest Femme, it's not at all what you could imagine, I think, but it is earnestly given to someone who I think—above all—will understand what it is truly trying to say. There is desperate kissing against walls and the hint of, "Oh my god, I have to fuck you NOW!" So hopefully those elements will soothe any potential discontent. Happiest of Holidays to you. Much thanks to my fantastic beta and to the mods for being incredibly patient.

    A Smile Like That, PG
    If I were doing Advent Drabbles, this would be yesterday's. :P This is just something I wrote on the spur of the moment, and is not part of the ficlet offer I made earlier.

    Anyway, enjoy. It's, umm, not really attached to any fandom, though in my mind it is, of course, HP. Make the characters any of your choosing.

    Title: A Smile Like That
    Characters: Whoever you want
    Rating: PG
    Word Count: 378
    Summary: This is what happens when a poor, hapless girl gets caught in the middle of a slashy moment.

    Excuse me while I dance around my living room. :D I'm excessively happy today, for no apparent reason. Just... happy.

    Want to come be happy with me? Yay!




    Okay, since in the past I have failed utterly at this, I am wiping my own slate blank and calling a redo. I want to write ficlets (zomg, I know) for the flist. I want to. I really really do. So what I'd like is for y'all to leave a request here for a ficlet, with a pairing of your choice and.... a line of dialogue. :D Yes, I'm evil like that. You have to write ONE LINE of dialogue, that is the prompt that I will use to write your ficlet. So.

    Are you ready?

    Set.

    Fic: If You Ask Me Why
    Title: If You Ask Me Why
    Author: Don't ask us who!
    Giftee: [info]proftlb
    Word Count: ~6820
    Rating: NC-17
    Pairing: Harry/Snape
    Warnings: Death (not a main character), M/M sex scene, possibly chan with Harry as 16, angst.
    Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
    Summary: “If you ask me why, I couldn’t answer. I don’t know what possessed me to do it. It just happened.” A love story.
    Author's Notes: Thanks to B, E, and Y for the beta. This was inspired from a recent death in my family, my grandmother who passed away recently. I was quite close to her and so dealing with that was hard. In a sudden hit of inspiration, this came out of me. I don’t quite know how, but it did. So I hope you enjoy it, and Merry Christmas for 2008.

    Fic: The Day Severus Snape Woke Up In Hell and Spent Seven Minutes in Heaven Before Life Interrupted
    Title: The Day Severus Snape Woke Up In Hell and Spent Seven Minutes in Heaven Before Life Interrupted His Happily Ever After
    Author:
    Giftee: [info]gatewaygirl
    Word Count: Including the Title? One Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillion! Not including the Title: 8665
    Rating: PG-13
    Pairing: …Is this a trick question? *glances suspiciously at mods* Snarry and a little bit of Ron/Hermione.
    Warnings: DH spoilers, massive sentient objects, the tiniest bit of exposition, Hermione's bag of tricks, EWE, slightly-out-of-his-mind!Snape, and shocked-speechless!Harry
    Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction set in the Harry Potter universe. No person or corporation is profiting from this story; it is for entertainment purposes only.
    Summary: When Hogwarts throws a hissy fit, it's up to Harry to awaken its Headmaster. However, nothing ever goes as planned when Harry is involved.
    A/N: Heartfelt thanks to all those without whom this fic would not have been finished. You know who you are. More heartfelt thanks to L for the beta and to E for the title. [info]gatewaygirl, this actually started from one of your prompts (Harry and Snape have to work together) and then took on a life of its own. I sincerely hope you enjoy it! Happy Holidays.

    Well. That went well.
    No, seriously, it totally did. This has been the best Thanksgiving we've had in years. The feast was amazing, the company was wonderful, the conversation all over the map, and inclusive leik whoa, and even when the kitchen was overflowing with people, cats, and not enough tupperware, nobody got an eye put out, or went home crying. There were 'before' pictures -- everybody took some, -- but we were in such profound food stupors, we plumb forgot to take 'aftermath' pictures, until we were halfway through putting the carnage away.

    We watched, and greatly enjoyed True Blood over the visit, and I ain't afraid to say so. I've had that insidious opening track in my head ever since, thank you. And, had Friday managed to be more than a protracted, daylong nap, punctuated by raids on the leftovers, we might well have watched Waking Ned Devine, as well. But, well, not so much with that. That's okay though. The daylong nap was still entirely enjoyable, and did wonders for charging everyone's batteries after the cooking frenzy of the days before.

    Today, we drove Mystery Guest #1 to the airport, and then took Mystery Guest #2 home to Boston. Took the opportunity to introduce her to another of my ex-Albany, now-Bostonian friends, and was thrilled to see a rather immediate click happen there. I'd always rather suspected those two would get on famously.

    Dominus and I elected to make the drive home tonight, in the interest of him getting a whole day offline tomorrow, since the poor boo had to work on Friday and all. As is usual for us, we spent the drive home from Boston arguing silly worldbuilding things, like heirarchy of powers between vampires, werewolves, human mages, and the sidhe from my Blackwatch universe. Silly, I know, but I'll try any trick to get the muse's knees apart, don'tchaknow. And without recourse to Snow Leopards or I-hate-everything baskets*, we made it home just as he was beginning to get the exhaustion-light tracers, so all was well.

    And now? I take my pills and go to the sleeping.
    Cheers, all!
