Harpies Bizarre

Hello flist. Hope you're having a nice Sunday.

If anyone's still interested, the next chappie of Epiphany is up on OWl and TPP and in the queue at Ashwinder.

(Reassumes recovery position after boozy wedding yesterday).

Sorry I haven't been feeling terribly communicative of late - I guess the old black dog has been sniffing around and has outstayed his welcome. RL stuff has been getting me down for various reasons - I was hoping to get back to the UK this month to give my family a good talking to, but it looks like I won't be able to go now until August. Oh, well. they'll have to wait.

On the plus side, I have begun modding at OWL, under annie's eagle eye.
I have completed a chapter of Epiphany. Won't be posting it on any archives until I've done the follow up chapter though in case I need to edit. (It is up on my IJ comm but under a flock :)

Oh, and if anyone can tell me why a cd refuses to format (I'm trying to do a back up disk) I'd be glad of the help.

Just a short ficlet for the hpcon_envy lj community on their duck theme

Lame Ducks

Didn't think I'd be inspired by the 'maternal' challenge on grangersnape100

However...

In your dreams

(I'm working on the premise that writing something is better than writing nothing at all)

Still recovering from a cold which seems to have drained all energy out of me. I can't remember when I last felt this lethargic, but my brain is definitely not firing on all cylinders - and with visitors arriving soon, well, I'm sure you get the picture. So, it was a very nice surprise to find that 'Cuckoo in the Nest: the Baby Dialogues' has been featured on OWL this month. Thank you Annie and Potionsmistress for the banner.



I am also being taken on as a trainee mod on OWL, and am looking forward to starting when both cold and visitors have gone.

I seem to be stuck in drabble hell. My effort for the 'Outhouse' challenge on grangersnape100 Privy to a Secret

Drabble bunny caught me unawares again. 'Suitability' can be found on grangersnape100 here

I thought I'd never do another drabble again after that last mammoth one. However, a mini plot-bunny sneaked up on me when I wasn't looking, and the result was Teenage Dream

As usual, you try to write one thing, and something else pops into your head. I've extended the first chapter of my anti mlc fic which may be found here. Feedback appreciated.

I've had a reasonable couple of days, creatively-wise speaking. Almost finished the epilogue for What goes around, but the ending just won't gel. I've tried several versions, none of which i'm very happy with. It's just so frustrating when I know it's only a paragraph or two off completion.

And while I remember, I've a question for the technically minded. My browser for some reason has stopped accepting any cookies (lj etc have to log in everytime i switch on, despite asking it to remember me) I haven't touched anything I'm aware of to change it. Firefox tools regarding cookie acceptance is the same as it's always been.

~iz confused~

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Finally, the last installment is up at grangersnape100 and hpcon_envy here and here respectively.

A short epilogue will follow and I'm also considering a missing scene which will have a slightly, um, higher rating...

Having been mentioned on snapecast here it has occurred to me that people with no knowledge of French wouldn't have a clue how to pronounce my nom-de-plume.

So. It's not 'mel-ooo-zin' it's 'mel-ooo-zan'

In other news, the last installment, minus the epilogue, of what goes around is almost ready to post, thanks to the ever prompt septentrion1970 I'd hoped it would be ready for valentine's day, but it was not to be.

have a good week, dear flist!

Congrats to everyone else who's been nominated - good to see my betees up there too!

As promised, the next installment of 'What Goes Around...' is up on grangersnape100 and hpcon_envy here and here respectively.

Also, can someone tell me why I can't get an image from photobucket onto this journal? It simply won't work.

The next lot of drabbles in the 'What Goes Around...' series is up on grangersnape100 and hpcon_envy
here and here respectively.

Potter place readers kindly put two of my stories on their wish list for updates before Christmas.





I hope to get What Goes around finished by then, but I can't see me finding the time for Needs Must, I'm afraid.

Thanks also to southernwitch for making all the individual banners for each story mentioned.


Was also saddened to see that Illusions has gone - there were so many of my favourite snapey pictures on there ~sigh~

Part 13 of What goes around... is now up on hpcon_envy and grangersnape100 here and here respectively.

Next round of drabbles of What Goes around is up on hpcon_envy and grangersnape100 here and here respectively.

Hope you like 'em.
