I've done so much CRAP to my hair, but this is the biggest bleaching job I've ever done. IT WAS SCARY. But thank god the end result didn't leave me bald. Being a redhead is fun! I hate smiling in pictures, so don't mind the cheesy poses.

My sewing machine broke weeks before our Halloween party, making my once simple costume completely torturous. Not to mention that cutting and trimming that fuzzy shit made a mess of my forest green carpet. Pictures below the cut as well as my Halloween cupcakes I was so proud of! lol

--Writing out this LJ post has actually felt very theraputic. It felt good to keep things in perspective and realize all the things in my life I have to feel grateful and happy about. I just found out a day ago that 2 old friends from my Disordered Eating Support Group have died this passed year. One passed away in May from suicide, and the other in September from various health related complications, with suicide not being ruled out. What I regret, more than anything, was losing touch with these incredible girls and wondering if they had the emotional support available, which sometimes makes all the difference.

I don't remember why exactly I tamed down the ending when I first written it? I think maybe because I was posting to LJ, and not very many readers enjoy depressing darkfics.
Well, the epilogue can be found here, on FF.net. It's a darkfic with dubcon warnings, so I don't think anymore needs to be said. Chapter begins right where chapter 5 left off. But I will say that this story is DONE with a capital D.
Once it's beta'ed :coughhintpleasecough: I'll submit it to the archives.

This was also the best NIN crowd I'd seen. No one stopped moving, and many slam danced (myself included). Under the cut are pictures of my battle wounds. I went down twice in the pit and got trampled, but everyone was quick to help me back up. I wish I took more pictures of the performance, but I never wanted to stop pitting. By the end of the night, I REEKED>lol.
AMAZING SHOW!

>While browsing the Top Fictions page over at Ashwinder, I came accross a PWP which I had never read before,
---What I liked most about Sub-standard: First and foremost, it centers around an EWE Severus who is even more of a snarky bastard not seen in the books. His unfeeling treatment of Hermione (his nurse) almost makes you wish she'd slap the crap out of him... until things get naughty =D. I had never read a sub-severus like this before, and as I told redsky in my review, there is so much more complexity and feeling to this than a simple PWP. So those of you who haven't read it yet (which cannot be that many seeing as I seem to be the last one to find it) please read and review!

~Been spending some of my time (more than some) nosing around the True Blood/Southern Vampire Mysteries/Sookie Stackhouse fandom. If you have never read these books by Charlaine Harris you are seriously missing out! Especially if you've taken the time to read Twilight. As if the entertainment industry needed another vampire love story ATM... but these books came out before Twilight and are COMPLETELY geared for adults. Smutastic!
~My OTP for True Blood is Eric/Sookie. Bill should have been staked five books ago. At the moment the best piece of fanfiction I have read is Eric by deedee. I noticed that with canon pairings, it is very difficult for me to enjoy fanfic unless the story and/or story delivery is very similar to the original author's style and is mainly canon. This is such a story. Whereas the books are from Sookie's POV, Deedee's fic is written from Eric's and completely focuses on his relationship with the telepath. An excellent smutty read!
~Now back to the good ship! I believe my favorite Deviant artist is currently Protowilson. Her series of artist-versus-Snape comics are hiliarious. She needs to explore this slash relationship with Remus that she's been insinuating.

Based on some reviews I've been receiving, I just thought I'd throw that out there. Been working continuously on the next installment, which I hope to put out as soon as possible. Chapter 29 of Vain Wisdom All and False Philosophy has reached 31 pages on word and it will not flippin finish!
:sigh:
This fic is reaching the last arc of the tale now... (Yup, 200,000 words in, and there IS an end in sight.
But it's coming! The end is near!
Now for some sock puppet nonsense. Do not watch if you have a fear of sock puppets.... obviously.

Completed. Finished. Saved.
I'm so relieved that I have finally completed the fic and sent it to my beta. I know it still needs some work, but this isn't as horribly last minute as I feared it would be.
It might have been stressful, but it was great fun. And I LOVED the prompt. The mods are certainly talented with the matching.
Now back to the WIP! I apologize to those of you who have reviewed my story and still haven't received a response. I was hoping to use those responses as an alert for "Guess what! I finally updated!"
But that still won't be for a week or more.
Now for some pointless spam:

If you're obsessed with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series (like me) then you must be looking forward to this movie as well.
I must admit though, it looks cheesy as hell. lol And is Edward wearing eyeliner in this movie? WHY DO ALL VAMPIRES WEAR EYELINER?

The OWL Nominations are out and I am shocked that the first and only fanfic story I have written has been nominated for four different categories. My immediate thought is to send a public thanks to my beta,
I'l also like to congratulate those in my OWL Favlist who have also been nominated. Some of those I had nominated are grouped together in multiple categories, so voting is going to be so difficult.

Hello all,
My dark SS/HG fic Vain Wisdom All and False Philosophy has been
updated at OWL. We're now on Chapter Fifteen and hopelessly AU to
both HBP and DH. This chapter is over 12,000 words, with the first
half up.
http://owl.tauri.org/stories.php?psid=51
Chapter Summary: Hermione’s discussion with Dumbledore leads her to
demand answers from Severus. But is she truly ready to hear what he
has to say? A routine visit to an underground werewolf pack forces
Remus to confront the demons of his past.
Story Summary: With the climax of the next great battle drawing near,
the key players who have the ability to halt or bring about potential
destruction take center stage, as they always have in every great war
since time began. And Dumbledore knew all this, but not when it truly
mattered. Eventual SS/HG. Alternate Universe, HBP death disregarded.

Anyways, Chapter Fourteen-The Palpable Obscure of my SS/HG fic Vain Wisdom All and False Philosophy has been submitted to OWL, TPP, and Ashwinder. It should be up in a few days. I must send my love to
Now... the art recs! I posted something similar on my journal at Deviant Art, forgetting that I had this journal as well.
The sole purpose of my deviant art account was to view and collect all the wonderful HP universe artwork floating around out there. I became a fan art lover over at Illusions (SH) before I learned the joys of fan fiction. I've had this account for about a year and worked on my fanfic during that time.
So, much of the wonderful imagery has left a burning fire in my belly, inspiring my mind, moods, characters and even very specific scenes.
With all that emotion flowing through me it hurts keeping it all to myself.
I wrote the Prologue before I saw this, but I love it nonetheless In the corner by obfuscatesart
My dream sequence in Chapter Seven inspired by Black Asylum by sweetmoon
First scene in Chapter Eight completely inspired by The End by comfortablylaura
My "desk" scene at the end of Chapter Eleven (Part 2)inspired by Unsatisfied, you little girl by kara-lija
Macnair-Heart by madcarrot was in mind when I wrote his brutality in Chapters Four and Eight
How I imagined Greyback in Chapter Four Taste by madcarrot
All of my absolute favorite images of Severus Snape are by the same artist. This is what I imagine when I read, and of course, write him. In the Potion's storeroom, Dark, and Master by Perselus
The dedicated, passionate, and loyal emotions I get when writing Hermione reminds me so much of Mine by Cruel-Crush
Harry and Ginny by tolueno sums up how I am writing their angsty relationship
I LOVE this Luna. Exactly how I imagine her in fanfics. Luna Lovegood by wycked
For anyone reading my story, you must agree that I've warned you, 'snivellus' by wycked says so much about the way I am writing Sirius.
The following are all of my Lupin favorites, HP: R. J. Lupin by azmin,
In the Shrieking Shack by Magsby,
and Lupin Wallpaper by usagistu
It's hard finding images of a Pansy who isn't sneering. Thus far my favorite is 7th-Year Pansy by yurchan
***But of course, a Disclaimer is in order. None of these pieces were made for me or my story~I just wish they were! They are all incredible ideas, living proof that my fanfiction isn't as original as I would love it to be.***
I have yet to find any Remus/Pansy art. I have made up my mind to seek commissions, and the first scene I would want, would be a Remus/Pansy one.
Hope you enjoyed the recs and all of the incredible artists.
