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.

My fic posts will remain public, as well as any recs.

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

Haha, on my way to my folks' place for Thanksgiving, or I could go on about Christmas forever and ever. Maybe I will, later.

Title: A Secret, Divulged In The Most Unfortunate Manner

Summary: Rosie's trying to have a quiet moment in the Gryffindor common room; Al's got other plans.

Title: War
Character Pairing: Tom/Ginny
Prompt: some people stay
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,408
Summary: "She was a war-torn country herself, Ginny Weasley, stricken and hollow and torn in half by a dividing faction."
Author's Notes: The twelfth of my Tom/Ginny set for rarepair_shorts. I'm still not entirely happy with this, but I have no idea how to make it better. I think I've just been staring at it for too long, ha. It's slightly longer than the ideal length, but hopefully that's all right.

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.

Title: Weakness
Character Pairing: Tom/Ginny
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.

( Weakness )

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!

( Right now, the wind is all Ginny knows. )

What I wear has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not I feel confident. I cannot tell you how many times somebody has said to me, "I love your shirt!" And I have to look down to see what shirt I'm wearing.

I live completely inside of myself; I have no idea what I look like, and I never remember what I'm wearing. My confidence is based on my own thoughts and experiences; my comfort is all that dictates my outerwear.

Title: Presence

Prompt: a vision softly creeping

DON'T TRUST THEM.

It works in a large number of situations for my poor younger self, really. I was way too trusting....up until about a year ago. I'm still learning.
