Yes, I've decided to lock my posts. If you're already my friend, no worries; I'm not cutting anyone! If you would like to be my friend, just leave a comment here and we'll see. ;)

I'd appreciate it if you would please let me know:

1. Where you found me
2. Why you'd like to be my friend
3. Your favorite breakfast cereal (just to see if you're paying attention) =)

Most of my entries are about my fanfic writing (and lack thereof), as well as general thoughts on life and random happy things that happen to me. You can read my userinfo for more information about how I roll.

Christmas, because it is MAGIC. That's really all there is to it.

Hey, guess what?? I have created a community! It's called 100greatsaves, and it's a Harry Potter fanfiction haven dedicated to Cormac McLaggen. There wasn't one focused on him yet, and I think he needs more fans. Yeah, he's arrogant, but so's Draco Malfoy and he has a million fans. So, really, Cormac needs more love. It's as simple as that.

100greatsaves

And let this inspire you to write something you might normally have avoided. Don't even try to claim you didn't laugh like crazy when he threw up on Snape's shoes in the HBP film!!! And that scene at the dinner, when he licked the ice cream off his fingers....you gotta love the guy.

Prompt: maladroit
Rating: PG
Word Count: 967
Summary: "Surely, my Lord, you cannot be fond of the thing?"
Author's Notes: The ninth of my Tom/Ginny set for rarepair_shorts. I'm playing with the timeline a bit, trying to squish this into canon somehow even though it's wildly AU. Also a little uncertain about how IC some of the figures are, let me know if I've gone overboard at all.

I carved this bat last week (it's already rotted out by now, lol). It's not quite as bad as I'd originally thought. All the little holes (if you even noticed them) are because I was trying to follow a pattern....and it didn't work out. So I just went at the thing, haha.

I want to do another tomorrow!
