*is now the proud owner of one free copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard*

This is why we go to Borders for their midnight party. For the price of answering some Hufflepuff questions, doing a wordsearch with 23 instances of 'Harry', working out anagrams and searching for five cardboard Snitches ... we get a £5 Borders gift card. Or, as it is, the price of the book.
Whoop!
And also, a free Vampirates book.
I believe the mortal enemy of the Vampirate is the Zombinja.

Now I go back to swearing viciously everytime one of those bastard pop-ups invades. I think that something nasty sneaked onto my computer while I merrily downloaded filthy manga over the weekend and it's pissing me off.

Because the lovely Chart demanded asked for it...

Title: Autumnal Snupin (various)
Rating: PG ... until the last one, which is probably R
Disclaimer: Not mine, never were.
Notes: Just wanted to play around with some Autumnal themes before knuckling down to my Snupin desktop calendar. *rubs hands together and giggles*



( Autumn days when the grass is tumpty-tumpty tumpty tumpty tumpty-tum (I've forgotten the words) )

I know, you're all thinking 'WTF?'
We had a 'Fancreativity Night' at HP soc tonight. This is where we play a fun and exciting game that ends up with lots of fic. Everyone gets a piece of paper and a pen, and three words from my Magic Box of Words (ooooh). They then have to write a short HP fic based on those words.

Being as I was the one who came up with the words in the first place ... they're eclectic, shall we say.

I got Snow, Ginger and Screwdriver.

And I wrote what I'm reliably informed is called Deamus. Dean/Seamus. God knows why. It contains a cocktail recipe, of sorts.
Works best if you try imagining Seamus's accent. Promise.

Title: Enter the Dragon
Rating: G
Notes: Done mainly to give myself a brief break from festing. I needed something different to draw!
Inspiration is probably from that which it is entirely snapelike's fault that I am obsessed with.
Bloody hell, it's been so long since I posted anything!

( Enter the Dragon )

Look, Chart!

I found your Snupin! They're on their way back to you ... sort of.

( Silliness and a sloth )

So with that questions meme that's going round my flist like a bad cold at the moment ... that's twice I've been put as #28. So this post is clearly overdue.

Beneath ye cut lies a multitude of photgraphical things, each showing me in various amounts of fancy dress. Go have a look and answer me this question: what the bog am I going to dress up as for Harry Potter society Halloween this year?

( Anyone would think I liked dressing in silly clothes... )

So I was flicking through that comic I did for the Resurrection Fest last October and I noticed something.

There's this one panel of Snape's face ... and I had the sudden impression of James May in it somehow.

Compare comic panel with Unexpected Badass James May. (rrrah)



I think the hair's something to do with it.

But anyway ... then I realised that in our fabtastic reimagining of Top Gear in the Wizarding World we cast Remus Lupin as James May.

Thus ... James May = both Snape and Lupin and therefore

James May = Snupin.

Yaaaaay!!!

It's a bank holiday Monday. I'm sitting watching the end of Hook (surely one of the greatest films ever!). What shall I do?

I know! I'll make some shiny new icons out some of my more recent artistic efforts.

Including the one for this post. ;)

Feel free to gank and use. Put your own words and things on, if you like, but do crredit.

( Sailors and potions, oh my! )

Titles: Sweet and Sharp; Ahoy There!; Comfortably Seated
Ratings: G to R
Pairing: Severus/Lucius
Summaries:
Formal wear. Who else wears it better?

Lucius holds the best fancy dress parties. But the fun doesn't stop when the guests go home.

How else do two grown men fit into one armchair? Clothes, of course, just take up too much room.

( Behind the cut )

Title: Photoshoot
Rating: G
Summary: Remus and Severus have a photoshoot for Witch Weekly
Notes: Two pictures, linked with a bit of dialogue to explain what the bog is going on. ;)
BTW, as Remus and Severus are still alive, so is Colin. Bless.

( Photoshoot )

So, inamac was playing with this meme:

1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.

I sicced a plot bunny on her so she gave me the letter B.

( Boris Johnson isn't a fictional character, is he? Shame. I turned on my radio this morning to hear him arguing with John Humphrys about metaphors )

Title: He Has Been Here
Artist: skitty_kat
Rating: PG for blood
Prompt: 5. -- He has been here. R nursing S after torture by Voldemort.
Notes: I adored the title. Hopefully I've done it a bit of justice.

( He Has Been Here )

Posting this here mainly in an effort to keep it together. And because it's fun.

You remember how, before DH came out, we all had our theories about what would happen? Dumbledore would be reincarnated as a sherbert lemon, Harry's bollocks would turn out to be the last Horcrux and he'd have to hex them off, someone would finally turn out gay...

Anyway, I had a doozy of a theory regarding Snape and Madam Pince. And I wrote it into a ficlet.

How To Relax

And illustrated it.

Madam Pince, Library Queen

Then for something else (I really can't remember what or where) I wrote a little Remus-centric thing in the same universe. It was as a comment somewhere so here 'tis for your viewing pleasure.

( Old-Fashioned Man )

So, this appears to have been written during my Sirius Black fangirl days ... some time ago when I was more foolish. Probably between PoA and GoF, I expect. I was a teenage Black fangirl but not for too long.

*ahem*

A man named Sirius Black
Looked like he slept in a sack
He was rather gay
And was up night and day
Doing dirty things in his shack.



Thank you, thank you. *ducks rotten tomatoes*

Title: The Ugly Duckling and Swan Lake (yup, two for the price of one!)
Rating: G
Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter characters. No one owns the Ugly Duckling (except possibly Hans Christian Anderson?) and Tchaikovsky's hardly going to sue from beyond the grave, bless the old fairy.
Prompt: 20 -- g-rated prompt: S is the ugly duckling that becomes a lovely swan when the enchantment is broken by a kiss from R. could also go with a Swan Lake motif, again with S as swan and R as prince



( You're a very fine swan indeed )

Title: Leashed
Artist: skitty_kat
Rating: PG (I suppose?)
Disclaimer: Not mine. This is just what they do while JKR is concentrating on Harry.
Prompt: Disgruntled Severus in a collar, triumphant Remus holding the leash
Notes: I think snapelike is rubbing off on me. They're both wearing jeans...

( Leashed )

Title: Bat Boy the Musical
Rating: G
Disclaimer: JKR's, not mine.
Prompt: 42. -- Bat Boy: The Musical... Hogwarts edition.
Notes: I do hope the prompter was smoking very firmly on the crack pipe when they dreamed this one up. I certainly was when I got on with it.
Song lyrics without music are merely bad poetry. At least, that's my excuse.

( Bat Boy the Musical )

I just got a bit of spam with this subject line:

Drunken man caught humping goat

Now, children, who do we know who owns a pub and has a fondness for goats?

Weston-Super-Mare's pier destroyed by fire

That's part of my childhood going up in smoke, right there. Apparently it's visible from Cardiff, folks.
How's it looking from your end, sarah62442?

Know what I'm most miserable about? The ghost train. Never been on, never wanted to, but the big plastic-and-dusty-fur monkey waving a severed plastic head up and down is a particularly strong memory.

Yes, I've posted this on LJ and IJ. It's important news, don'cha know.
