Everybody's doing that book meme thing. I did it in my head but am lazy. Anyway instead I decided to do some reading lists. Oooh! And you can too! Since I already know the answers to all mine. You could try to make every answer to each question different. That'd be fun.

1. A favorite book!
2. A book that affected you in your YA years.
3. A favorite fantasy novel.
4. A favorite sci fi novel.
5. An awesome book (possibly a favorite) you think not many people around you have heard of/read.
6. A book you own more than one copy of.
7. An author whose every single book you own/will buy.
8. The worst book you've ever read.
9. A book you dislike that lots of other people you know like.
10. The most difficult book you've ever read.
11. Tell me what kind of books your mom reads/read.

12. What have you read so far this year?

13. What are you reading now?

14. What are you reading next? (list! list! You know you want to)

( Me me me! )

Pretty much Man's Best Friend was some of the best times I ever had writing. I'm trying to write more for lynnevitational, but it's definitely going to be late. Anyway, the problem is that I like it so much I'm all serious about it now. I got the prompt from when I asked which fics I would never write. Come on, it was Angel gets a freakin' *puppy*, people; I don't know how to take that seriously (thank you jgracio). And because I couldn't take it seriously I came up with some stuff I really liked. Thus endeth the whining section of our program.

Now for the requesty part! I don't have that many Harry/Draco friends, but if you read them/like them/know them at all! Here is your place to give me a crack prompt for H/D. It can be as cracktastic as you like! Something you think could never be written! Or no one would want to write! As cracktastic as this! I can't say I'll actually write it, but I need to stop stressing about that Eighth Year fic I want to write and can't because I'm way too serious about it. Only H/D, guys. I feel very bad for all the Buffy people on my friendslist, and even worse for the few of you here for other reasons, but I can't get them off my head.

ETA: I didn't realize this until now. But if you have any crack prompts that could take place at Hogwarts, right after DH, with Harry and co. returning to make up that 7th year--I'd be more likely to do that. Thanks!

And/Or! Go leave your crack prompts at hd_inspired, here, and maybe other people will pick them up. There needs to be more crack there, people! Do the world a service like a good samaritan.

I'm still working on the drabble prompts. If you want to submit one, please do, just leave the fandom off. Thank you!

Title: Silver Tongues
Recipient: sugareey
Pairing/Threesome: Harry/Draco
Rating: R
Warnings: Power play, language . . . alliteration.
Word count: 2,150
A/N:

This is one of those experiment-y fics that does a lot with language and the way words work. As one reviewer pointed out, and like some of my other more "out there" fics, it gets rather wrapped up in the words so that I'm not sure all the stuff about characters that I wanted to tease out really got . . . teased out. I was trying to access some very real and creepy problems both Harry and Draco might have as a result of Voldemort insinuating so much of himself in both their lives in different ways. Not sure I succeeded, but I confess I am still rather happy with the way the words themselves went.

I wrote this for hds_beltane ficathon. stultiloquentia did my awesome beta, for which I thank her profusely. And I want to thank vaysh11 in particular for having a quote from my fic up on her journal for weeks, when she didn't even know I wrote it! I'm still working on that "coming out about Harry/Draco" I have listed on my user interests, but those of you involved have made it truly fun. So, thank you!

Title: Children of the Stars
Summary: Sharon, Hera. Occurs near end of season 2.
A/N: Written with my_daroga's prompt: undergrounds either literal or figurative. You can still prompt here; just don't include a fandom.

I've done this before, and failed. So don't expect anything spectacular. But I'm having fun drabbling with seraphcelene and I know I'll have nothing to do at work.

Leave a prompt for a drabble! And I'll try to write it. This time around, let's go with non-fandom specific prompts. You can leave a list of fandoms you know so I can try to write one whose material you'll actually know, but I think being able to . . . say, write one for both Buffy and Martha was really liberating. So be as detailed as you want, just without a specific fandom/character.

Thanks for prompting in advance.

Title: Dangerous Angels
Summary: Buffy Summers and Martha Jones, aka BIG DAMN HEROES.
A/N: Thanks to seraphcelene for the prompt.

Hahaha oops! Misplaced post, sorry kids.

kita0610 did a good thing so I memed it.

C. So the comm for learning a word a day is a go! It's called daily_words. It will start either tomorrow or the day after. If someone would like to make an icon with the words, "daily_words" on it, then I'd use that for posting on the comm so when you were scrolling through your flist, you'd always immediately recognize it (*looks innocently at late_heart*).

If you join the comm: remember, I'll always be looking for new words. Feel free to participate--or not--in any way you please. You shouldn't feel the need to comment on the posts unless particularly compelled, and if you have any ideas for the comm or things you'd like to see, please contact me!

O. Does anyone know the name of that LJ comm that sums up either meta or wank (can't remember which) in short snarky soundbites? All I could find was metaquotes, which I don't think it is because these aren't actual quotes. But each post is some quick meta rendition of a wank or discussion. Sort of like Book-A-Minute (which you should totally check out if you haven't seen!) So a post might go like this:

SVA: Wah wah.
JKR: PWN.
Anne Rice: I have nothing to do with this, but also, wah.

MM. There's a meme going around right now where you're asked to comment with the lj name of someone in you think others might enjoy reading. I wanted to do that meme, except make it for comms (and not just for Jossverse). I find most LJ comms difficult to use. There are either too many posts with too much info/content I don't have time to peruse, or they die quickly and are never updated. Those with unlimited posting access for members lead to lots of random posts I don't want to read, but limited posting by mods is often too regimented or fails because the mods go off and do something else.

Anywho, comment with an lj community (or several!) you enjoy, and why you enjoy it. It can be in any fandom, or it doesn't have to be a fandom at all, if it's where you get your news, hometown connections, random artistic enrichment, etc. It can have a lot of members and posts or be nearly dead, just so long as you enjoy it.

Does anyone know if there's a comm which gives you a word a day? Like Wordsmith.Org's A.Word.A.Day, which emails you a new word every day and gives you the definition?

If there's not a comm like that: If I made one, would anyone be interested in joining it? If so: I'd be posting a word a day on a comm. It'd supply the word and the definition, and then probably one other thing--such as origin or an example of usage or a picture--depending on the word. I'd be focusing on words that sound really cool, that don't come up on your thesaurus, or are really useful but I don't know them (you might know them, as I have a quite small vocabulary). I'd be looking at Wordie, websites which list cool words, poems, and probably books I'm reading with words I don't know. I'd take submissions if people wanted to share a word they loved.

There would be no commenting or participation required; it'd be more of a 'let's all pick something up as we do our daily flist scanning' type thing. I dream of it being like morning coffee. However, since I'm not good at keeping up with stuff, if people were in the comm and decided they enjoyed it, maybe eventually other people could help post so we could continue to learn a word a day for a long time. Like you'd just have to contribute one post a week, or if it had a lot of members, one post a month, so on. But I'm not asking for that now; maybe if I do do it, it won't be that much work, and I won't feel like I need help. I dunno really how stressful I would find it after a while, but I know I'm willing to try for several months at least.

Lemme know if you'd friend a comm like that, and if we have a few people, I'll start cookin'.
