Random one-shot to top off this list of mostly-epics: Sweeny Agoniste's Christmas at Duke's Denver.

There's this song that my grandma used to sing for me, and I can't find anything about it online anywhere. She might have made it up. There were a few verses I remember for sure:

'Hello Mr. Bluebird, high above the trees,

Come back, come back, to me-e-e.'

An English Folktale and great resource site...

I'm on this great site http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/folktexts.html

and searching CTL+F for everything from England. I figure, I'm not even a quarter way through the alphabet...I've shown you it can be done, if you're interested in reading more, you can do it yourself. ☺ Sorry, I just don't have the energy to post the entire bloody list.

Hopefully it will be inspiring to you, as a HP fanfiction writer.

This one was particularly interesting. It's a Luna-worthy list of magical creatures!

I was too young to know the many LOLs and perils of Y2K. I think maybe my mom told me that people were scared of it, and I probably was like, 'that's silly!'( Read more... )

So I'm a philosophy major, yeah? So that means I get to read Sartre and Kierkegaard and all that good stuff.

I love my major even more when I find HP stuff in it.

I intended to begin this piece by opening with my musings on a "trite aphorism" that I happened to think of, but then I sneezed all over my laptop screen, and my mind screamed, "How can you be a great thinker when you've got snot and saliva all over your computer?" ( Read more... )

So I go into Baja Fresh and order their Cesar Salad Burrito, sans dressing and cheese.

The obese lady behind the counter tells me, "Oh, you're leaving out all the good stuff!"

Mostly for my own use, this is a list of most of the websites I'm part of. You can read it in case you're curious about me or something.

L'Occtaine Contest

I totally entered. Here's my little entry. It's slightly silly.

Okay, so on Facebook there's this weird rage about posting pictures of a collage and 'tagging' people as members of it. There's ones for Pokemon, Super Smash Brothers, and all manner of others...not least of all Harry Potter.

I was talking about the Malfoys with Love_From_A_Muggle, and I decided to scavenge my analysis of Lucius and Narcissa from the conversation.

Virtues aren't that bad, if you're not Mordred in Camelot. He lists Seven 'Deadly' Virtues that he'd rather not have, and these are, in order:

Yesterday's particularly instructive post made me think of this thing that I wrote for a Mysteries class in high school. The assignment was to come up with an assignment along the lines of what the teacher had already given us.

This is what I came up with. I hope it's instructive to you.

'Mature' has at least two different connotations: to deal with 'mature' content is to deal with stuff that is potentially mind-scarring, the nitty-gritty of life. To write in a 'mature' fashion is to show advanced-level writing, characterization, plot, etc.  ( Read more... )

I was writing to someone and the advice I was giving them is largely applicable to anyone who might happen to ask me for advice on writing. I know I'm far from a truly good writer myself, but I think I'm quite good at critique. This is largely to put my own thoughts down on paper for myself, where I can reference it easily.

I passed the bloody Perfect Imagination test!

:D

Somehow I only got an 88%, so I really wish they told me what I missed, but at this point, I don't care. I passed. That's it.

We don't know the names of Hermione Granger's parents. That's apparently okay, considering that her parents aren't in the Wizarding World at all. Though, I still find it disconcerting--we know all about Harry's parents, and all about Ron's parents, but we don't know anything about Hermione's except that they're dentists, and that she hid them in Australia under the names of Wendell and Monica Wilkins.
