| It's that time of the year, and I'll be away for the next two months.
This means if I do comment, I'll be doing it ninja-style: swift and out of nowhere =P I highly doubt I'll have time to be on MSN, so contacting me via comments are the best way to go.
Feel free to spam this post with links! And see you all in August! *hugs*

| First, Clark was not completely, 100% heterosexual, contrary to prior evidence, which included some truly pathetic behavior on Lex’s part. Thus, Clark had rejected Lex himself, not Lex’s equipment. Lex actually felt himself moving through Kubler-Ross’s five stages of grief: denial (she can’t be right; she’s never met Clark’s boyfriend; there’s no actual reason to think he has a boyfriend—except for what Clark says about his boyfriend’s eyes, moron), anger (wondering how hard it would be to run the Kent farm into the ground and get Clark kicked out of school), bargaining (maybe he’s changed his mind and would like me now), depression (Dad was right; no one could genuinely want me, and certainly no one like Clark), and finally acceptance (a mélange of all these feelings, with a thin candy coating of calm). 1. Read rivkat's "Rainbow Sign" (Smallville, Clex) and her DVD commentary =DDD
2. Months and months ago, rivkat wrote "No Such AU" (Clex) for my Thief!Lex prompt. It ended up being Spy!Lex, but close enough!

| I agree that:
1 a. Fanfic authors have the responsibility to put up warnings. 1 b. Fanfic readers should not act all offended if they choose to ignore those warnings.
2 a. Those who like crossgen might identify with the younger, not the older, of the pairing. 2 b. Those who like dub-con/non-con/rape might identify with the one overpowered, not the aggressor.
3. Non-fandomers will not stumble upon chan unless they specifically look for it. How many of you even know what "chan" means before becoming part of the HP fandom? (Note: "shota" =/= "chan." More on that some other time.)
*. florahart's replies to this comment are well thought out that you should read them in their entirety.
Customs officials may search laptop or other personal electronic storage devices at the border.

To sum up, leave your laptop at home or clear your folders from pr0n sensitive materials if you're crossing U.S. border. They also may check your USB, CD, DVD, etc.
Granted this M. T. Arnold person was arrested for having real child pr0n, but who knows? Having a bootlegged movie on your laptop might also be cause for prosecution.

| And if the vampire turns someone, even if it’s only once per book, extrapolate that back for however many centuries or millenia vampires have existed, figure out about how many vampires there probably are in the world, and escalate the problem accordingly. Even the occasional Van Helsing with a satchel full of stakes isn’t going to be able to hold back that particular tide — how long before the human population dwindles to the point where the vampires are all going to starve to death? --"Building Your Own World," May 9th, 2008 by Angela Benedetti
1. Last day to post requests at hallowedmoments. For some reason everyone's been asking for gen and canon pairings. Go request some fanon pairings, why don't you? Rules for requests are here.

| I was watching Junjou Romantica yesterday and lol'd at Episode 2 because of this:
( Eggplant/Tomato hybrid = Eggmato? Tomaplant? )
My wallpaper is Eggplant!Draco/Tomato!Harry by red_rahl ("A Match Made in Veggie Heaven"), which was inspired by potteresque_ire CharacterDeath!VegetableSmut ("Eggplant Parmesan").
FYI, I've read tomato slash (non-character death) before, penguin slash (+ baby!rock), snake/rock, etc. (Considering that fruits are not inherently male/female, how do you differentiate slash from het? Eh.)
Anyway, Junjou Romantica is this totally cute Boys Love series that is not brain cell-damaging like Gravitation or lame-as-a-lame-camel-can-be like Kyou Kara Maouh. FYI, the anime art is actually an improvement over the manga art. Also, I like this better than Love Mode because the characters are twisted in a v. believable way =DDD
Handy character guide, of a sort.
( Plot summaries for Junjou Romantica, Junjou Egoist and Junjou Terrorist )
Fun, yes? X-D I sorta picture Miyagi/Shinobu as Snaco with past Snucius, haha. Except that Shinobu's unending fount of confidence is more Harry-ish than Draco-ish.
Go ahead and give it a try! =D Just be prepared for embarrassing sex noises here and there, haha. And uhh...dub-con for Usami/Misaki >_> At least it's not chan because they're all at least 18 y.o.? X-D

Threads here (Draco and Lily) and here (H/D)
Lily: I no shout. I talk Scopus, uh huh. Hewwo, budder!
Draco: I beg your pardon. Hello Buddha? What on earth makes you call him Buddha. If this is some reference to the way I look then I can only... Did you just call Scorpius your brother?

"Not my hair!" (Draco and his son, G, Media used: Ink, copics, PS) Go and aww over the picture! =DDD
For my "Golden Strand" drabble, re-posted below. (Don't you hate thinking up titles for drabbles?)
"Nooo! Not my golden hair!" Scorpius clutched at his braid as if Draco was about to cast Crucio instead of a simple haircut charm.
Draco blamed his wife for letting their son wear his hair long ("But he looks so pretty, dear.") He had not pressed the issue since Scorpius was tutored at home.
But now the boy was going to Hogwarts, where the last male student with long hair was none other than Lucius Malfoy.
Draco sighed. "If you keep your marks up and become a prefect, you may grow your hair down to your arse with my blessings."

| 1. azephirin's Days for Consideration (The Past, Present, & Future Two-Step) [Hermione/Draco; PG-13; AU DH] Original story: A Day for Consideration, by heidi8
“You’re quite fit,” Hermione says, “but you’re not blond enough.”
To his credit, Harry doesn't blink. “I’m not blond at all.”
“No. Malfoy is, though. He’s so very, very blond. An archetype of blond. A caricature of blond. His hair is blond the way mine is curly.” She rolls onto her stomach and rests her head on her arms. She’s comfortable enough; God knows she’s slept on worse.
Harry sighs and sits down next to her. In a moment, she feels his fingers stroking lightly over her French braid. “Are you ever going to tell me about that?”
“About Malfoy's hair? It’s blond. I already said.” 2. florahart's Drunk and Disorderly (the Accidental Relationship Remix) [LJ] [Hermione/Draco, NC17] Summary: On waking up together, Draco and Hermione realize the punch clouded their judgment. Soon thereafter, the consequences become clear. Original story: One Drunken Mistake, by melfinatheblue.
"Malfoy? What are you doing here?"
"That's likely my child, remember? I want to make sure she's healthy."
"She?"
"I'd like a girl. Mother wants a girl too, and father doesn't really care."
Hermione shook her head. "Honestly. Again, I'm not sure how you don't know this, but you don't get to choose, Draco. It's all about what happens in the moment the sperm and egg meet."
"That's ridiculous."

| 1. "Golden Strand" (Draco and Scorpius, PG, 100 words)
My first (and only?) permutation of Scorpius with golden blond instead of white blond hair. somigliana is to blame for my Scorpius-with-long-hair kink ;-) (I do have a vague universe in my head for this Scorpius, but it won't be written for a loong, loong time yet.)
2. The time-turner on the new Russian cover for CoS adult version looks appropriately powerful & foreboding. Can't see Hermione hiding that clunky thing under her shirt though =P

Below are a few of the fun, unclaimed prompts:
#52. Draco is in love with Harry but Harry is and will remain straight (or same for Remus/Sirius).
#54. Veelas need to find their mate or die. Draco Malfoy is a veela and his mate is Harry Potter. He chooses to die.
#58. Harry Potter: Two characters are stuck in a Groundhog Day-like time loop. They don't solve it by having sex/falling in love.
#17. General (any fandom): A prophecy is made that two characters will fall in love. They don't.

| 1. Write Harry Potter fanfic to earn your A-levels! Well, sort of:
They [students] will also have to write their own 500 to 800-word story inspired by the book [Philosopher's Stone]. And, um, what's this about retaking parts of the exam? Why take exams seriously if you know you can't fail? O_o
2. Over at HP Dungeons, Lucius finally believed Narcissa and Severus' entreaties that Draco is pregnant.
3. I haz until Nov 19, 2010 to read DH.
4. slytherin_100's 32nd prompt, strand, is open until May 10, 2008. The 31st prompt, mask, is open until May 3. Feel free to combine the two prompts.
5. I can haz microscope cake? The golden scorpion cake art is awesome too. And the 50 y.o. cognac cake.

| Remember those old skool H/D fics, where the boys get into a not-quite-healthy relationship (because everything's so intense and so quick), and Lucius and/or Narcissa intervenes and pulls Draco out of school, and everyone around Harry is not-so-secretly relieved, and Harry soldiers on, only half-living his life?
So OotP rang the death knoll for those, but now we can relive it again through AS/S!
Go read hollycomb's This Year's Love! (AS/S, R, complete) Summary: Scorpius Malfoy is outed during his fifth year at Hogwarts, his older boyfriend flees the scene, and Alby Potter takes a special interest in the scandal.
This Year's Love: Winter I - II - III This Year's Love: Spring I - II This Year's Love: Summer I - II - III - IV This Year's Love: Fall I - II - III - IV - V
I love everyone's characterizations here, inc. the Malfoys, Albus' dorm mates and Hugo Weasley. The part of the story where the boys are still in school is my fav. =)
I have this sudden urge to write Alby ♥ Cory 4eva somewhere...

| [ Draco/Pansy, Draco/Hermione | PG-13 | 300 words ] Draco missed a few steps in his romance.
Original story: The Thing That Really Matters by benebu, 100 words. Originally posted at remixthedrabble here.
*******
Draco realized he had a crush on Hermione Granger when he first saw her dancing. Who knew the Mudblood would clean up so well?
“If I slap you silly, will you look at me like that?”
Turning his attention back to his dance partner, Draco saw her eyes shining with challenge—and something wistful.
“Don’t be silly, Pansy,” he said, smoothly guiding her into the next dance pattern. “If I have a fetish for physical abuse, I would have hooked up with Potter ages ago.”
She snorted and couldn’t help chuckling.
Draco grinned and pulled her into a full twirl.
*******

3. Anyone watched Matsumuto Jun's Boku wa Imouto ni Koi o Suru yet? (I am in love with my younger sister) I've read the first manga volume, IIRC. I can't quite picture Jun in an angsty role, but he's pretty enough, and the girl playing his twin sister looks believable enough to be related to him.
How does the manga/movie end anyway? People dying? They don't magically turn out to be not related by blood, do they? X-D

| Circe_Tigana's reasons why you must abandon this ridiculous notion that the idiot potter is the heir of slytherin (slytherin ensemble, PG-13)
Draco is tied spread-eagle to Salazar Slytherin's nose, and while he's intrigued by the She-Weasel's proficiency with knots and crampons, he's more intrigued by his Dark Lord's cheekbones. Now this is the kind of leader he could get behind.
megyal's Say Anything [1][2] (H/D, Not DH-compliant) Draco has a crush on Harry and tells him in French.
gatewaygirl's Girl Stuff and the Boys (Post-OotP, NC-17) Characters: Ron, boy!Hermione, Harry, and Draco Perposterice "Summeries"-based crack ficfest, Prompt 116: Hermione and Draco become head boy and girl stuff happens! I'm fairly certain this was missing a semicolon between "girl" and "stuff," but it's more fun with a comma before the "and!"
lilithilien's A Vengeance So Sweet; or When Harry Met Draco and Ended Their War Games Summary: Cast your mind back to 1997 and to a little film called Addicted To Love, in which Meg Ryan was no perky girl-next-door but a kohl-eyed hellion bent on revenge, with Matthew Broderick as her mostly willing accomplice. The situation was just begging to be rewritten with Harry and Draco in mind. Rating/warnings: NC-17. Warnings for ridiculously naïve!Harry (is that canon?), drag!Draco, musical!Krum, and disloyal!Ginny.

| I just watched Becoming Jane, and it makes me want to read a Jane Austen biography. (I thought Cassandra is the cousin not the sister?)
- I like Mr Wisley (the guy who proposed). He's just so earnest *_* --the redeeming point of the movie, IMO. If you rent the DVD be sure to watch the deleted scene where he practiced dancing X-D In an unused room with a kitten in the middle of the floor <3 O HAI I think I have a glimmer on what my Theodore Nott is like. Yay-ness.
- The actor who plays Mr Lefroy (Jane Austen's love interest) is the way I picture Neville when he's all grown up (With a smaller nose. His nose is a bit on the largish side. ). The way he looks that is, not his personality X-D And goodness he's James McAvoy, the faun in Narnia. Neville crossgen, Y/N?
- Henry (Jane's brother) looks like Boyd from afar, lol. Like...3 meters away =P There was even a nekkid Neville/Draco Lefroy/Henry moment. Of a sort ;-)
- Mrs Austen = Molly Weasley's actress - Lady Gresham (Mr Wisley's aunt) = McGonagall's actress - Mrs Radcliffe the novelist = Narcissa's actress
Random: No wonder the name Billie Piper sounded so familiar! She sang the 1998 pop song "Because We Want To". I'm surprised she's not older than me. She needs a better skincare regimen...
