Aletheia ~ Veracious Reality
|
| 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
3. "It's Usually Not Gen" challenge ends on 30 June 2008. Fics must be at least 2,000 words long and gen.

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.

| [ 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.

"Out of the three Hallows, why did you choose to keep the Cloak of Invisibility?"
Harry blinked slowly at his drinking partner, now a blur of white blond hair and black Ministry robes. Perhaps he had drunk one too many cups of Firewhiskey.
"It reminded me of my Dad."
Malfoy, the git, threw back his head and laughed.
"A keepsake, Potter? My mother’s music box is a keepsake." Malfoy enunciated each word carefully. "The Deathly Hallow," he waved a pointy finger at Harry’s eyes. "—is most definitely not a keepsake!"
He then proceeded to slump on Harry’s shoulder, unconscious. | comments: 2 bells laughed or Ring a bell  |
| Title: Chasing Fairies Author: lilian_cho Word Count: 100 words Rating: PG Characters: Scorpius, Draco Prompt: Childhood Also answers writing_game prompts "reprieve" and "sheltered" X-posted @ LJ Warnings: N/A Disclaimer: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by J.K.

An eight-year-old ran around chasing fairies away from their comfortable perches on the honeysuckles. The boy's cheeks were stung red from the wind, and the face beneath flyaway blond hair was gleeful.
“Be careful with their wings, Scorpius!” Draco called out as his son darted behind a birch tree.
Draco thought their move away from Britain was for the best. He had wanted to give his son a happy childhood sheltered from ugliness.
There were hardly any boys Scorpius' age in this secluded Wizarding community. But surely that's better than being spat on in Diagon Alley for being a Malfoy. | comments: 3 bells laughed or Ring a bell  |
| Title: Legacy Author: lilian_cho Word Count: 100 words Rating: PG Characters: Scorpius, Draco Prompt: Book Also answers writing_game prompts "unfinished business" and "legacy from a friend" X-posted @ LJ Warnings: N/A Disclaimer: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by J.K.

“Scorpius, don't touch that!”
Scorpius retracted his hand. “Is it another cursed book, Papa? Grandma said you shouldn't leave them lying around.”
Draco raised an eyebrow at his son's bossy tone. “I bet Grandma also said good little boys shouldn't snoop around their father's study.”
The six-year-old pouted.
Picking the book up with reverent fingers, Draco said, “A...friend left this for me. The notes he penned between these pages are invaluable.”
Scorpius’ eyes rounded. “Does it have all sorts of brilliant hexes and curses?”
Draco smiled. “Tell you what—I’ll let you read it when you receive your Hogwarts letter.” | comments: Ring a bell  |
| Draco eyed Florean Fortescue’s glass display with the desperate longing of a denied sweetaholic.
"The Dental-Wizard said no hot or cold food for three days," Harry reminded his boyfriend.
Draco huffed in annoyance. His attempt at a Malfoy glare only made him look silly with his swollen pink cheeks. Shortly after his twenty-eighth birthday, Draco’s wisdom teeth had suddenly grown in. All four of them.
Harry realized that he was not quite successful in masking his amusement when Draco’s left eye started twitching.
Hastening to avoid a full-blown Malfoy tantrum, he quickly pointed at a jewelry store. "Look, pretty rings!"

| 1 a. slytherin_100's third prompt is Game, open until January 5, 2008. Bonus points if you include Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort. The second prompt, maze, is open until December 29 (bonus points if you include Blaise Zabini).
1 b. My response: "Mind Games"--(Padma Patil, perceived H/D, 100 words). I might have written Ten Things about Padma Patil too >_> Will expand it to 20 Things.
2. The two-week special writing_game is up here. This is also the trial run for our new Post Secret feature =D
3. Psst! Snamione fans! Match the story to the quote Christmas quiz.
4. FYI, Americans, the British do not use the word "cooties." I changed "Gryffindor cooties" to "Gryffindor germs" in my 20 Things about Score.
5. I'm only 2/3 done with the fic that is due on the 23rd. Haha. Ha. 1000-2000 more words to go... @_@ And still need last-minute beta too. Shoot.
Some arguments against fanfic (with refutations) @ LJ and IJ
If fanfic is indeed more about social interaction and acceptance than it is about dollars and cents… And if fanficcers are truly interested in taking the authors wishes into account… And if they just want to have fun without hurting anybody… Then perhaps we need to create a technological version of the video store’s back room, with thick red curtains and a sign that says “Anyone who gets creeped by Kirk and Spock fondling each other should stay the hell out“. If it’s compartmentalized, I doubt many people would object. --Ed Bartlett Bring on the thick red curtains! \o/
1. herohunter wrote Clex discussing Harry Potter for me, me, me. MWAHAHAHA. "Of Wizards and Hobbits" (Lex/Clark, G, DH spoilers, 838 words) Summary: Lex and Clark have deep discussions sometimes (I'm not sure this is one of them...).
2. rivkat wrote me an amazing thief!Lex too, but I am horrible and haven't read or commented ^^;; Will rec after I properly go supernova fangirly on her.
3. It looks like I'll be writing the Lex-Luthor-is-sorted-into-Slytherin and becomes Malfoy's muggleborn pet HP/SV fic(let) myself. =P Will try to keep it at 750-1000 words.
