fem_exchange reveals have been posted. Unfortunately, I don't think my recipient ever actually saw my gift, which I worked my fingers nearly bloody to get done by the deadline... but anyway. More Millicent/Pansy, Annalisa style!

title: she loves me, he loves me not
author: sappholococcus
recipient: joeyjames
rating: PG-13
length: 3,240
pairing(s): Millicent/Pansy (unrequited), very small hints of Pansy/Draco and Pansy/OMC implied
summary: At Hogwarts, Pansy occupied all of Millicent’s attention. Years later, Millicent encounters her old crush – and many things have changed, but others have not changed at all.
warning(s): spoilers for DH (epilogue not included).
author's note: this came out much more bittersweet than actually angsty, for which I apologise. But there are copious amounts of UST, and I tried my best to incorporate the prompts secrecy, during/post war, reassessing first impressions as situations change, falling in love and angsting about it.

she loves me, he loves me not

I am having a lot of trouble getting back into RPing after my trip to Mexico :| Except for B/F, but that Draco!muse is always present. This is a bit of a long shot, but maybe some of you will humour me:

Ask any of the characters I roleplay a question (or questions) and I'll reply in-character as them with an answer. Feel free to ask them ANYTHING, regardless of whether you know their canon or not. Feel free to also ask them as your own character, or to ask more than one character at the same time. They will respond accordingly.

My list is as follows. Most in need of reinvigoration:
augury_dmalfoy
augury_luna
milliclaws
Alexander Bigley (next gen OC)

Others you can ask about, though they're less urgent and for some reason I feel like it'd be easier to play them (in alphabetical order):
draconianism
god_of_blonds
guiltygrim
invisiblestag
lordbasiliskos
lostmyturnips
settle_the_scor
untamedragon

I have many more, but those are most of the ones still active or soon to be active in an RPG. Perhaps it's the sheer number of them that's overwhelming me :|

There are blurbs in most of their profiles, or sometimes posted in their journals, if you want the specifics of each character. I'd also encourage you to check out the RPGs they're part of, of course ;)

Just a reminder, guys - don't forget about hp_traditions!!! Signups close January 31st, so you should GO NOW and SIGN UP!

*Imperios flist into doing my bidding*

Seriously, guys. It's going to be a sweet exchange. I think it's a really cool idea, and the mods are fabulous - I would personally speak for their fabulousness. Come have fun with us :D

I don't have the time (or energy) to write up anything really spectacular about these three awesome comms, BUT. You should check them out anyway.

Exchange Fest

→ Everyone should check out hp_traditions, a new fic/art exchange fest that will be starting January 1st (when signups open). This fest is based around the idea of tradition or ritual. This can be taken from anywhere - religion, mythology, culture, history, anywhere. Interested about the old pagan Samhain traditions? Love the idea of Lupercalia as practiced in the Harry Potter world? Well, this is probably a good place for you. It accepts all pairings, as well as gen, and it's moderated by the lovely jairissa and wannabedesigner. I will be signing up when I get back from Mexico :)

RPGs

- dvv_rpg is set post-epilogue, with lots of plot and a new war: Muggles vs. Wizards. We need characters on both sides, and many main characters from the HP books are still available. More info can be found in dvv_mods.

- telophase_rpg is in almost the polar opposite time frame for HP canon: a Founder-era RPG in which two worlds collide, which means two versions of each founder and everyone else. We already have both Rowenas and both Salazars (can you guess which I'll be playing? :D) but Godric and Helga are available, as well as everyone else.

... actually, I maybe shouldn't pimp for Telophase yet, as it's not entirely set up. BUT you should go look and start thinking about it, and I'll link you all again when it's really ready. (The character list and such are located in telophase_ooc.)

*Imperios everyone into clicking on the pretty links*

So I got my fem_exchange gift today!!!!! And it's easily my new favourite femmeslash fic, like, EVER. (Not that there aren't some other awesome ones out there, of course!)

Of course I have to rec it. :D :D :D

Title: Conversations in a Madhouse
Author: as yet anonymous, which is A CRYING SHAME BECAUSE I WANT TO FRIEND THEM
Rating NC-17
Length/Medium: 1,217
Pairing(s): Luna/Bellatrix, Bellatrix/Morag, Luna/Morag
Summary: Sometimes, you don’t need prison bars.
Warning(s): Noncon (impaired consent/drugging), bondage, blood/knife play, object insertion, mindfuck.
Note: I had never written Morag or Bellatrix before, so this was an interesting challenge. I tried to incorporate as much of the prompt as possible; I hope you like it, sappholococcus!

Seriously, it's. One of the most disturbing and yet oddly loving scenes I've ever read, and the writing is incredible. This person is way too talented to be writing for me, for serious :/

I could say more but I'm depriving you of time that you could be reading the fic. GO READ. NOW.



I so fail at html.

I have a rec for my pretty flist. I've been horrid about keeping up with it lately, and even worse about actually updating.. but I've got a couple exchange fics to be turned in soon and so I will have fic for you all sometime in the near future.

Meanwhile, may I encourage all of you to check out augury_rpg? It's my current obsession, and the only thing I really have inspiration for (because it's just that awesome). I play Draco, Luna, and Millicent, in case you were wondering :D

I'm also looking for a pretty layout and a nice HP or Draco oriented mood theme. If anyone has any ideas/skills/recs, send them my way! Thanks in advance :)

On to the rec! It is lovely Marauder hilarity.

Title: Every Problem Has a Solution
Author/Artist: what_the_jack (in deathly_lollows)
Rating/Warnings: PG-13
Characters: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, James Potter, Lily Evans
Word length (if fic): 3000-ish
Disclaimer: What if I were JK Rowling? Can you imagine a world like that? Picture, if you will, picture an England ruled in the iron fist of Jack Funnylastname, my minions numerous and puissant, where people use the word “puissant” when there's no real call to inflict ten-dollar language like that on people.

It's probably just as well that I'm not JK Rowling, and don't own the Harry Potter whatnot, because I doubt you lot would enjoy it.

More RPG pimpage! You know you love it. This is an awesome, GJ based RPG which involves quite a bit of time travel and silliness. And if it gets big enough, the mod will start accepting applications for the elder Malfoys (whom my Draco is desperately pining for :|) and LUNA, who I want so badly so she can play with her father. Under a cut because I stole the promotional code from the mod journal and it's big.

I would like to note that my journal layout has changed and it is now officially made of awesome. :D

Join the Finish-A-Thon

My list of fic to finish is here.

The hp_summersmut reveals got posted, so I can now post this here. ETA: I have just been reminded that the entry is friends-locked. Hence, it is now reposted under the cut.

Title; Love Is A Pink, Frilly Pillow
Author; sappholococcus (though it's listed in the reveal as hecticity)
Requestor; juvenilehell
Rating; NC-17
Pairing(s); Pansy/Millicent, Pansy/Draco and Draco/Theodore implied
Summary; Millicent has been fantasizing about Pansy since school. But when she finally gets what she wants, she finds that it isn’t everything she thought it would be.
Warnings; femmeslash, implied het and slash, unrequited love (verging on stalker-ish), kink (minor D/s, knife play, tie!bondage, biting), masturbation, hurt/comfort, flangst
Disclaimer; I don't own. You don't sue.
Author's note; I’ve never written femmeslash this explicit before (only RP’ed it) and I had a bit of trouble with Pansy. But I’m proud of how it turned out, and I hope you like it. Thanks to my ‘good lil helper’ maki_to13, as well as my lovely evil twin (dark_adrenalynn) for helping me out with this one. Have a lovely, smutty summer, juvenilehell!

title: E/T PHONE HOME, or: some thoughts on the appreciation of quirks and randomness
author: sappholococcus
rating: G
pairing: ernie macmillan/tracey davis
summary: in which ernie is Pompous, tracey has an Out Of Body Experience, and there is a ghost.
warnings: tons and tons trace amounts of crack.
disclaimer: these two belong to el_em_en_oh_pee and capitol_barbie JK Rowling and her publishers.
author's note: before you ask, the significant lack of capitalised letters in the story is done on purpose. this was written for my dear dsfol, el_em_en_oh_pee, as a part of our Drabbles On Demand Fest, Reserved Only For The Four (and yes, for the record, I do realise that this is far too long to be a drabble). if that doesn't make sense to you, you aren't one of them :| so sorry.
