Snowflake time!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Thank you to the friends sending me Christmas/holiday greetings: [info]shiv5468, [info]odogoddess, [info]dementordelta, [info]cordelia_v.... [alas, can't get image to go in - never mind, you've all seen the Snowflake by now?]

You too can use LJ's free snowflake service (scroll down). Very kind of them to lay it on. And some persons (like the last named above, whom I tried to snowflake earlier) could perhaps turn their virtual gifts on again; I think you can still exclude commercial 'gifts'.

To any interested party: I am still writing.

Beta(s) needed! Plz plz plz

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Currently I am working on two stories, and expect to have them ready for beta tomorrow or Monday (my time) at the worst (that's London time plus 11 hrs). They are due Tuesday and Thursday, respectively, my time. I'm unlikely to finish either tonight; I've been writing for six hours so far today, am running out of energy (shoulders ache, my goodness), and am off to my brother's place for smoked salmon and cheese for dinner in a couple of hours.

They're the same pairing, one I write every year, and het. If you need to know more before you can commit, ask, and I'll email.

So far I have around 6000 words towards the [info]snapelyholidays fic (due Tuesday my time). I hope to get it knocked off short enough to fit in one post. (Pray for me, huh.)

The [info]smutty_claus one (due Thursday my time) looks like being finished first; it's currently 8000 words, with the same length ambitions, which I'm perhaps less likely to realise.

Characters in both are going Yak yak yak, alas.

Anyone who wants to volunteer to beta read either (or both, bless your cotton socks) would be greatly appreciated! Could you respond with your email address, please, in case I don't have the up-to-date version? And say, natch, which you put your name down for, if you care. If you have limitations on when you can deal with beta reading, let me know.

BTW, I have two more due by the end of next week. *sags* My own damn fault, as Jimmy Buffet would say.

When Fandoms Collide

I am having real problems with the demo dance currently on Strictly. I've always thought of Matthew as a model for 'my' Draco, and here he is dancing with a redhead (Ginny?) while this dead ringer for Harry is swinging a blonde Astoria round the floor.

Yes, I'm totally gaga.
