Delaying posting till Dec 1 Hi everyone!
Because so many people are in transit this weekend and we're still putting together our posting schedule, we're going to delay posting until the evening of Dec 1. Sorry for any inconveniences! We can't wait to get things started, and hope you all enjoy the fest!
Best, Snarry Holidays mods |

Holiday Drawbles Drive As some of you already know, I am doing a Drawbles Donation Drive. 1 or 2 USD for a smoochy drawble.Sadly the website of the Grameen Foundation as small donation issues i.e. you currently can only donate USD15 and more. And while that would be awesome I totally understand that that is a bit much. I am now accepting any reasonable tolerant charity organisation of your choice. |

oh hell yes, I have a Snuggie We went down to Salinas to J's sister's new place, and holy crap is it huge. It's got a nifty layout, and infinitely more space than their old house. We hadn't seen Natalie since before she was walking so it took a while for her to stop giving J and I the suspicious eye, but by the end of the night it was lots of carry-me arms, and where Sophie is usually all about her Uncle J, somehow this time I ended up with her hanging on me more often than not. I suspect it was that I was wearing a pink shirt so that boosted my coolness rating. It's interesting to see the ways her personality has changed now that she's a big sister. Sometimes I wish we lived a bit closer in order to visit more often. Anyway, we hung out, ate food, played with dolls, tried to devise a plan to steal their adorable pug, and at the end of the evening I got the bonus of belated b-day gifts. See subject. I have also increased my fuzzy scarf collection by one, so I should probably put out some of the ones I don't wear often out onto the curb. The drive was nice, and J and I talked a lot about the ways in which we'd like to focus on our projects for school and general creative things. I'm back to having a solid idea of where to go with my current assignments so I'm feeling very rejuvenated about them. Which is good, as I need to be doubly-focused this weekend, since I didn't actually get any extra days off, and the lab is closed tomorrow which is typically my dedicated time to go in and work all day on my homework! Current Mood: touched |

in order to avoid homework bulletpoints!
- Although I managed surprisingly well on cards last year, there's no way I'm going to manage this year. I'm slightly bummed about this, but I think I'll just resolve to send more random letters throughout the year as that's way more fun to receive.
- I made adorable cupcakes at work again. I wish I had an excuse to make them at home, or a whole lot more people to foist them off on.
- The last two episodes of Fringe made me all excited and giddy, even with a brief Not Sure If Want moment in there. I need to get over my tendency to want to fit things neatly in canon and just write the smushy porn that I want to write.
- There is absolutely no way to reply to an anon thread with you as the subject without a) being a dick, b) encouraging the drama, and c) being a dick. I replied anyway.
- There is absolutely no way to blog/tweet/mention replying to an anon thread with you as the subject without encouraging the drama and being a bit of a dick, but it made me laugh. Oh, people.
- I had this big complicated adventure dream with JDM in it last night. It was awesome. Then I had to get up and go to work, which was less awesome, even though our new brunch cook made me Huevos for breakfast.
- Speaking of our new cook, she's been teaching J how to make stuff. Including this awesome grilled tomato salsa which is downstairs right now, calling to me. She's the best.
- I severely need a nap, but if I sleep now I'll wake up at the time which I should be going to bed. Conflict. |

WOO-HOO! LOOK AT MY NEW JOURNAL HEADER ARTWORK! JUST LOOK AT IT! IT WAS DONE BY THE INCOMPARABLE MASTEROFMERCURY AND IT IS THE MOST AWESOMEST THING EVER EVER EVER! I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO USE IT AND TONIGHT I ASKED IF I COULD AND SHE SAID YES AND I AM HAPPY CONCEPT, HAPPY, HAPPY CONCEPT! It is so awesome, in fact, that when she gave me permission to use it I promptly flailed and knocked over my tequila--three times. I'm so happy it's not even funny. It's even better than seeing a house I liked. For serious. That says something about my priorities, but what the hell. It's so pretty it could even go with For a Reasonable Fee or Comes at a Cost. This is the happiest day EVAR. Now go read Naughty Girl. It's the teeny ficlet I did a few years ago for this pic. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! |

[FIC] Batman - Batman/Joker - The Frayed Ends Spam! Wrote this not long after TDK came out but never posted it.

Batman/Joker. R. ~1000 words. Nolanverse. Violence. Darkness gathers into a swarm around them and Bruce doesn’t want to let the bastard take one more goddamn breath.( Read Me. ) Current Mood: calm |

Things what I have been doing Attended a benefit dinner last night with J, maiki, and Susan for a non-profit that we've done a lot of work for. Materials that both Susan and I had designed were all over the place and it was really nice to see it all out and looking snazzy. Susan's done a lot to get their informational materials/reports looking clean and professional. I did the benefit's programs, invites, and carried over from last year was a set of promotional posters which I'm still proud of. The project, per usual, made me gnash my teeth at times, but I do enjoy working for them, and it was flattering when people whom I didn't expect compliments from told me they were impressed by the invitations in particular. :D Leading up I had this worry about the pagination on the program booklet since I worked entirely remotely and never saw a proof (or even had time to run one myself!) but everything turned out beautifully and typo-free. By this point, I've done enough recent work to have a solid design portfolio again, so with so few classes left ahead of me it's nice to have that in addition to what's shaping up to go on my reel. I didn't mingle much, as J and I were introduced to some great people early on and there was no incentive to bother straying away from the interesting conversation to rub elbows with people outside my industry. It was somewhat fascinating attending something like this after so long, and also after now having worked on catering from the serving end! The appetizers, by the way, were awesome. I wish we offered some of them on our own menu, especially the warm cranberries and almonds in phyllo cups. Yum. My shoes were remarkably comfortable. I haven't worn actual heels in forever and it's nice to confirm that my knee can handle hours standing around in 3" heels. Current Mood: accomplished |

For my records, but you're welcome to read... I went and saw a nutritionist on Monday and since I was sort of having to stop and think today, I figured I'd write down everything she told me so I am less likely to forget. And since I have the benefit of free nutritional advice, I figured I'd share with y'all what she said to me. Note: I know some of you are uncomfortable with "weight loss" posts, but this is only tangentially about weight loss. Mostly it's just a way for the hubby and I to get and STAY healthy. ( The Dos and Don'ts of Eating )I have never in my life heard the phrases "eat CORRECTLY" and "portion control" as much as I did that day. However, three days later, here are the side effects I'm noticing: ( The Other Stuff )Anyway, that's healthy eating 101 and you didn't have to go get bitched at by my skinny little nutritionist. For those who wonder how I ate before and how this differs: I ate once a day at dinner. I'd have maybe 800-1000 calories per day, all at once. Because I really don't like to eat at other times. So I'm eating "more" now, but I'm spacing it out and making healthier choices. |

AO3 I'm now Abstractconcept on an Achive of Our Own for the beta stages. (If you want an account there, put in your email address and they will send you one when it becomes available. I only had to wait a couple of days. Of course, right now it's in testing, not yet a sleek and perfect archive). There are only a few things I'm confused about so far. The warnings they have are not really enough, so one person suggested using tags to supplement, which I've been doing. I'm just not sure if I'm sort of abusing the tags. I'm trying to use them to suggest the flavor of my story. But I think the suggestion that we use them for warnings makes me feel like maybe I shouldn't put things in there willy-nilly. I only use a few tags per fic, though. At any rate, I'll follow the discussion as it continues to happen. My ONLY other real complaint is that it's great with formatting my html from other sites--except for scene breaks. My oOoOoOos never stay centered, so I unfailingly have to go in and put the html for that. But I haven't figured out if this is a problem on my end--I tend to code strangely or forget certain things. So I need to look into that. Other than that, it seems pretty good. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it--only about an hour, in which I uploaded five fics. I love that it can pretty much code for me (GOD, how I love that) and I love that you can break things into chapters if you want, but it can also handle large fics. I'm curious to see how it will work out feedback-wise. That's one of the main things I like about journal sites as opposed to archives--journals foster conversation and feedback MUCH better than archives do. But I do like having somewhere to keep all my stuff and so far this is pretty slick, though there's room for improvement in the warnings. Of course, playing with it helps you figure lots of things out--you can put notes in as well, so you could also put warnings there. No big deal. And it does your wordcount for you! Isn't that fun? :D I'll play with it more tonight if I have a chance. I want to search other people and fics and things and see how that works. |

It Sucks to be Severus Snape (Part 15) COMPLETE VICTORY! SUCKS IS COMPLETE! LET'S THROW A PARADE AND BUY DOUGHNUTS AND GET NAKED AND ROCK OUT TO DAVID BOWIE! Notes: The header here is used to reflect the whole fic. There's no smexing in this chapter, but there's intimations of it. Thank you so much to alienor77310 and venturous for their informative comments on France. Even though I only bothered to use my setting twice, 'cause I suck. Title: It Sucks to be Severus Snape, Part 15 Rating: NC-17 Total Fic Word Count: ~19,500 Disclaimer: Belongs to J.K. Rowling. All Warnings/Enticements: * EWE, masturbation and sex, bloodsucking, spanking, something resembling infidelity but not really, some violence character death, (but not Snape or Harry)* Betas: None, though if you'd like to have a go I'm happy to edit anything that won't completely rearrange the fic. Summary: Crazy initiations, people out to kill them, and really biting sarcasm--it's just another day in the life for Snape and Harry. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Part 14 Part 15 ( Read more... ) |
