I was in the mood for something new and thought I'd try using Bloggish instead of FlexibleSquares for change. Odds are I'll switch back because I love FlexiSquares, but it doesn't hurt to try something new.

To go with the new layout, I thought I'd share my contributions to the Draco/Hermione Halloween exchange at luvlikerocketz :

clever_claws had its exchange reveal today. The pinch hit art I did for emiime is here, if you'd like to see. It's completely work safe.

Apologies to lesemma for using JPA for Neville's visual representation. I swear it's not Road Ahead Neville. He'd never cheat on Pansy.

RATING: G
WORD COUNT: 535

Pairing: Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, just borrowing.
Written For: The first two are a response to a prompt provided by meiri_fics in dramionedrabble for the Dramione Drabble-A-Thon. The other fifteen are just gravy because the prompt ran away with me.
Prompt: I don't want just anything // I just want something real // Let down your defenses, Baby // Show me what you feel. ~Do To You - Bryan Adams

Author: Inspire inspired_ideas
Word Count: 500
Rating: All Ages

Title: Murder in the Manor
Author: Inspire inspired_ideas
Written for: angelmischa  as part of the Winter 2008 sshg_exchange
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Um, Ron bashing ... sorry
Summary: A dinner party ends abruptly when the host ends up dead following his soup course and the other guests begin dropping like flies. Will Severus and Hermione be able to solve the case before they become the next untimely victims?
Original Prompt: 1) Non-canon: It’s x, in the library with the candlestick. Hermione and Snape find themselves stuck racing around the castle in a Clue-esque (or Cluedo-esque, if you’re a Brit!) style murder-mystery. Romance and drama ensue. Who killed y? (You may supply x and y, and while it would be a bit pointless if Hermione or Snape were x, it’s fine to have one of them be y if you’d like!)
Author’s Notes: Thanks to lesemma for the beta. This round of the exchange requested one-shots, so the fic is a bit shorter than I think it needs. I am working on an five chapter expanded version, which will be the one I eventually post to various archives.

( Fake cut to Murder in the Manor )

The mystery author of my sshg_exchange gift wrote a brilliantly humorous piece featuring many things I love, including strong friendships with Harry and Ron, a stationery fetish, love of tequilla, and reference to a piece of art I like, not to mention a playful Hermione and curious Snape. I wasn't really expecting anyone to pickup the 'Go, Dog. Go' prompt I left, figuring it would be too silly for most people. I'm pleased my author seems to have a fabulous sense of humor.

Want a chuckle? Go read, The Head That's Showing and leave a review.

hp_springsmut  had its reveal today. The Hermione-Viktor I drew for sweet_lemmon  is here, if you'd like to see. It's definitely not work safe.

I just received my hp_springsmut  gift, a lovely little fic featuring Kingsley and Rita.

The author did a really great job using my prompts and preferences, which is always extra delightful when receiving a gift. If you like Kingsley, Rita or hawt!rainstorm!sex, give it a read and leave the author a review.

I've never taken a Myers-Briggs type test and not come out INTP, although I'm usually close to the border in 'structure', which is the P / J variant. I like to get things done (J) but I always reserve the right to change my mind and like to stay open to new information and options (P).

Warnings/Rating: Threat of testicular hexing / PG
Written For: ldymusyc who challenged people to write a short fic 'using absolutely no names or physical/social descriptors.'

Disclaimer: I’m not JKR, nor do I play her on TV.
Warnings: Complete tripe and utter fluff, not to mention a shocking lack of sex considering it’s Chuck and Attie and both are nude.
Written For: Birthday ficlet for snarkysweetness based on her original character, Athena McGonagall. Borrowed completely without permission because it wouldn’t be a surprise if I’d asked ahead of time, now would it? I apologize in advance for slaughtering her Athena's characterization.

( Happy Birthday )

I've been meaning to do this for week or so, but finally found a bit of time. It's swiped from cloverdew regarding the The Big Read's supposition that the average adult has only read six of the top 100 books on their list.

I've read 62 out of 100. Most of this is due to two things. My mom belonged to a Classics Books Club and had all the Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen, Bronte Sisters, and other classics in our house and I was always a voracious reader. Second, I took Great Books as a High School freshman, which brought in Steinbeck, Huxley and a lot of the 20th century stuff.

Yes, I do occasionally posts things I write. Just don't hold your breath between instances.

Title: The Fortunate One
Pairing: Fleur / Percy

The curtain has rung down on my first RPG stoatshead_hill. It was an amazing run and I made so many new friends. Thank you inell, as well as Flora, Lia and Rose for starting such a great game. It was a blast rebuilding the wizarding world brick by brick. 

Fake cut to the full fangirly thanks and final squees over my favorite characters from Syven, Moreteadk, Annearchy and others.

I received my gift in the sshg_exchange today and I am blown away by how incredible it is. I just love it. My mystery artist took my art prompt and created this masterpiece with Severus and Hermione back to back fighting off dementors. I'm so, so happy.

This one came to me via the talented syven who saw this via a post by beldar which includes some of the controversy surrounding the film. I haven't seen the movie myself yet, although the_rainbow_jen had passes the other night, which made me jealous.

They say that the first step is admitting you have a problem. Somehow I don't really think I'll make it through all 12-steps to be cured. Frankly, I'm not really sure that I want to be cured of my addiction to Hermione fan fiction. There are so few no calories, no brain damage addictions out there to choose from, that mine seems fairly harmless.

It is, isn't it?
