I've just posted the final chapter of the Ron/Hermione I started posting this summer. I have a few quick notes:
+ Firstly, MASSIVE THANK YOU to anyone who read and/or reviewed. Or even if you left mad angry comments! Fandom is fun and I have missed it.
+ The story came about when I was sitting in the back of a car being driven somewhere in early 2007, staring out the window and listening to the Kate and Anna McGarrigle album Matapedia. My mum is a huge fan of theirs and when the album came out in the 90s it got played a lot in my house. The songs that jump-started the story are Matapedia and Hang Out Your Heart (of which I can find no link!!! D:).
+ That first chapter was originally a one-shot. But then I thought, What did Ron do next? And George and Ginny decided to get involved and suddenly the whole thing snowballed.
+ Harry/Daphne. This was a thing that wrote itself. I was trying to figure out how to end the drunken bonding scene as I was writing it, and it was less that I figured the ending out and more that I realised what was going to happen, and sort of ... did nothing to prevent it. Harry and Ginny had a way of steamrolling their way into every story I wrote. They are just not good at behaving themselves as a nice background couple.
+ Randomly, my parents went to Ambleside a few weeks ago and brought me back a chocolate hedgehog. (It is a real place and it is very beautiful!)
+ I am SO SO GLAD I finished this story and posted it.
+ If you have found your way here from another website, this is my fandom/personal Livejournal. My fanfic Livejournal is 
kissesforcrises, and it contains all fic I have ever written.
+ I owe a huge thanks to 
excitedrainbow for encouraging me and proof-reading every chapter from China. She has been absolutely magnificent and I owe her a HUGE thanks!
+ Once again thanks so much for the reads and reviews. I am very grateful and I hope anyone who read it enjoyed it. Big love ♥ ♥
OK, just to let everyone know, I have started posting an 8-chapter Ron/Hermione story over here. It is completely written and I am just putting the finishing touches to it and posting the chapters as I go (probably every few days).
Summary: Six weeks after the end of the war, Hermione vanished without a trace. Eighteen years later, Ron goes looking for her and finds a little more than he’s bargained for: his child. What follows is the rapid unravelling of a long-kept secret over the course of a few hot days in August. Love, betrayal, Weasley family melodrama. Ron/Hermione. 12+. 8 chapters. EWE for Ron and Hermione.
If anyone in the world feels like reading it I will be very grateful and love you forever and ever ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Does anyone reading this ever read any Ron/Hermione? Could they tell me which are the most active communities for Ron/Hermione fic these days? I'd like to have a look around and see what's being posted, and I'm working on something that'll be finished relatively soonish and which will want a few readers. I'd love it if anyone could pipe up with some information!!
In other news, I received a review for 'Stranger Things', a Dean/Luna oneshot I wrote in 2007, and scrolling up I saw that the formatting of the whole post is fucked and the story is barely readable. I suspect this may have happened to some of my other stories as well; I'm too scared to look! I'll redo the formatting and make them readable when I've gathered the willpower/have something worse to procrastinate from. What a pain. Major props to the gem who managed to read 'Stranger Things' and leave a nice review regardless! eta: Done!!

For those who do not know (I haven't seen any mention of it in fandom, though I'm sure it's being discussed), the Leveson Inquiry is an inquiry going on right now into the (almost non-existent) press standards in the UK (prompted by the Ruper Murdoch phone-hacking scandal); I'm finding the whole thing fascinating. Something it has produced (apart from more evidence that Hugh Grant is in fact quite possibly more intelligent than anyone in this government) is J. K. Rowling discussing her dealings with the press: most of it I find depressing and sometimes heartbreaking (I am firmly on the side of the 'celebs' here), but this one little titbit I thought was so glorious I wanted to share it:
A week after giving birth to one of her children (it doesn't specify which), she left the house for the first time, after being "besieged for a week" by paparazzi. She thought they had all left, so she went outside with her daughter and the new baby in a pram, but she then spotted a long-lensed photographer, flew into a rage, and gave chase (while pushing the pram):
"How I thought I was going to outrun a 20-something paparazzi...my daughter was saying 'Calm down Mum, calm down, it doesn't matter,' but it mattered enormously to me."
While on one level it's horrifying, on another it's just the absolute best fucking image. Fuck I love her. Absolute fucking bamf ♥

I posted a little 2000-word Sirius/Ginny story a few hours ago! Crazy times. I've been playing around with all the half-finished fic that's been sitting on my computer a lot the last year, but this is the first thing I've posted since summer 2009.
The story in question was first started in 2008. I actually mentioned it in this post from 2009. The original looked pretty different. It was less ... stark, and more - dreamy, maybe? And when I started playing with it last week, I thought it had some potential and I realised it was almost finished, but I wasn't comfortable with it. Specifically, with the eroticisation of the relationship (it is set in Order of the Phoenix, so Sirius is ~35 and Ginny is, um, 14). It's weird that it didn't bother me and now it does. I wouldn't have a problem with someone else writing that; I might well read it. But I can't write that myself; not casually, anyway. So I worked on it and now it's a different story: the sequence of events is the same, but the narrator, person and tone has changed, and I don't think anyone would call it erotic anymore. Don't really know if I think it's any good.
Also, having never written Sirius before, I'm certain it's chock-full of angsty-Sirius stereotypes, but oh well.
Title: Shuttered
Ship: Sirius/Ginny
Summary: Do you remember his eyes, Harry? Ginny tells her husband about a past lover. Canon compliant.
Rating: 15+. Flagged for adult concepts.
Warnings: Consensual underage sex, insofar as sex with a 14-year-old can be labelled consensual.
Word Count: 2262
P.S. Major apologies to your flist if you happen to watch sirius_het, gw_fans, ginny_fans and/or siriusxginny. Soz :s

I had a bikini wax on Monday and it did not go as planned. While technically it went fine - the standard itchy red rash gone in twenty-four hours, which is half the time it usually takes to vanish from my body, and a lot less than a week, the time it randomly took to calm down last time I had a wax - aesthetically it did not: I now have basically no pubic hair! Just some tiny stupid little square! I went in for (and only paid for) a standard bikini wax, i.e. an inch of hair waxed off either side so that I can loll around on the beach next week in a swimming costume without looking down at any point and seeing a random bit of bush making a bid for freedom, drifting in the breeze, waving its hairs in the air like it just don't care. But now the VAST MAJORITY of it is gone, and the tiny bit left is WONKY! VERY WONKY! It looks like a REALLY SHIT BRAZILIAN!
It doesn't actually matter because it is only for beach purposes, and because I am living with my parents at the moment and single so no one's going to be seeing it (although in my experience, people trying to have sex with you don't give a flying fuck what your pubic hair looks like, anyway - unless what it looks like is "crawling with crabs"). But I don't want just THREE PUBIC HAIRS! I went through the HELL of adolescence and all I got were some tits and a bush! I worked for that! It's MINE!!

I've been spicing up my marriage with Harry Potter. I fully wanted to get the handcuffs out with a bit of Sirius/Ginny I started last spring, but then my boring old husband decided we should take it slow, having been sleeping in separate bedrooms all year, so I let him get on top and do his old sweating-and-groaning thing with a chunk of good ol' Harry/Ginny. Though I did kink it up a little: it's very AU. Not in the "I left out the parts of canon I don't like" way but in the old school "parallel universe" way. It was so, so fun to write, despite being one of those annoying slow-burner fics that take forever and a fuck to finish (I think I got the idea for it before DH? Which was two years ago ... holy fuck, when did that happen?). I really like it, though I am disappointed about not being able to work the Fresh Prince in anywhere. I tried! (Really.)
Sorry about the sex metaphor at the beginning. It was wittier in my head.
Hello new friends! Welcome!! ♥

I've seen a few of these sorts of things before, but this is one of the best I've seen in ages: On the finer points of English swearing by doomcanary. A ridiculously comprehensive dictionary of British swearwords! Was originally posted in April so for all I know it was recc'd everywhere and you've all already seen it, but it's amazing, so you can look at it again. If you're a non-Brit who writes British characters, bookmark it! Refer to it! Love it! Learn who to call a tit and what to call shit(e)! If you're a Brit, look at it and marvel. Marvel!

One thing: hbpchallenge!! I'm thinking of doing it. Actually I already have something appropriate (shh I'm a cheat) but it's already 4000 words and the limit is 1000 so ... yeah. But I think you should all have a look at it anyway :D
p.s. Ugh Ron is so fit.
p.p.s. I wish I still had my "Ginny Weasley puts out" icon that was actually made by Harmonians. Good times.
