hogwarts gone wild

I love you, Pete Wentz. I love you like a fat kid loves cake. At this very moment, I specifically love you for Bang the Doldrums. I want to think it's your I Broke My Gay-Above-The-Waist Rule for Mikey Way on Warped and All I Got Was a Lousy Invitation for His Wedding (to a Girl) song, but. It also nicely sums up the present state of both my current and unhealthy romantic entanglements.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: I just read over my hpvalensmut fic, and a fair portion of it doesn't make sense. I mean, it doesn't make sense, even for me. This requires some emergency retcon work, and I don't have time for that, because it's DUE RIGHT NOW OMFG.

I hate you Sirius Black. I hate you like burning.

OMFG.

Why didn't any of you tell me that Fall Out Boy is made of awesome and win and slash?

No, really.

I SERIOUSLY HAD NO IDEA.

( cut for excuses, flail, and maybe a picture or two )

So. Who's got the Pete/Patrick porn?

I've already read everything by femmequixotic, marksykins, and iphignia939. Twice. Any pointers you lot have would be loved and cherished.

Seriously. Don't make me write my own.

Well, my gift was posted on merry_smutmas, and it's a fucking winner.

- Shadowmancers by anon. [James/Sirius, NC-17]

I've read it three times, and I'm still bloody incoherent. No, really. I'm completely speechless. It's got solid characterisations, a clever premise, and the porn is smoking hot. Hot. Positively scorching, and chock full of desperation, neediness, and the sort of mindless rutting that makes me shiver. Also, there is Regulus, and banter, and a revenge plan that backfires, and shadows. Good Lord, the shadows. I've been reduced to squee and flail.

I am dying to know who wrote this for me. I also want to know which one of you lot told her all my secrets.

*dead*

While I have you here, behold today's Christmas crack:

What I learned over the course of my day (so far)
by xylodemon, age 30
Courtesy of my AOL inbox:

1. I have won the Nigerian lottery. Again.
   
2. Should I suddenly decide my penis is woefully inadequate, I have options. And options. And more options. And also options.

( moar )

Speaking of Patrick Wolf -- does anyone have 'Wolf Song' handy? Or 'London'? Those are the only tracks I don't have from Lycanthropy, and it's driving me a bit mad.



¹ It's not that I didn't know this. I got the memo when everyone else did. I'm just amused that CNN thinks it's newsworthy. I'm just amused that CNN thinks it's newsworthy almost a week after the fact.

I cannot tell you how good it feels to be writing again. No, really. It feels awesome.

I'm partway through a currently untitled MWPP romp of the genfic persuasion wherein there will be pranks, boyish behaviour, ridiculousness, and possibly foul language. And I am dancing in my chair as I type..

Allow me to share my excitement with you, in the form of a fic cookie.

All apologies

Sadly, I'm a bit stuck. They're meant to play a prank in this, only I cannot, for the life of me, come up with a prank that isn't lame or hasn't already been done.

Here, have a poll.

( this is vital, i tell you. vital )

So. kenboy linked me to the latest Goatpuppet post at lj_biz, and against my better judgement, I read it.

I was almost mollified on some level, until I hit this:

One last note: This new process might have changed the way that two members were recently permanently suspended without warning.

Well, if it might have changed things, and LJ is truly hoping to make amends for the utterly clueless blundering we've endured since May, the obvious step would be to reinstate Ponds and Cara's journals. And as pointed out in this comment, the next obvious step would be to answer the questions femmequixotic asked in her open letter. As a fandom member, I would like a response. As the moderator of a fandom community that deals with adult content on a regular basis, I need those answers.

Until both of those things happen, I am not interested in anything LJ has to say. About anything. At all. Ever.

[ETA:] Evidently, Cara's journal has been reinstated. I have to admit, I didn't even check. I didn't expect LJ to do the right thing. Not that quickly, anyway.

( cut for waffle about Support, and how that's another thing LJ's taken away from me )

I answered a Support ticket at InsaneJournal today, and it felt good. ♥

Speaking of InsaneJournal, those of you fence-sitting might take heart in this announcement. They've expanded the links list: 15 for free users, 50 for paid users, and 100 for permanent accounts. They've also raised the friending limit again. Paid and permanent users are allowed unlimited friending, and the cap for free users is now 1000. That's more than LJ gives anyone, regardless of account status.


With that, I'm off to do hogwarts_today, which is another reason I'm hacked off at LJ. Had they made the post I linked above when fandom asked for it a week ago, we might not have been forced to change the way we handle the newsletter. Our new system is probably safer, but still. It's the point.
