I know, I know. I've been really bad about updating.

Here's a drabble - part of a gift exchange over at hat_sorting. Lily begins to get an inkling at what her relationship with James might mean as far as the Marauders go!

( Before The Test )

I've crossed over to the Dark Side, and am happy to report that they DO have cookies and they are delicious.

That's right: I'm revisting early adolescence and writing Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction, focussing on the old Saturday morning cartoon and starting here. Please go read and offer compliments, complaints, contructive criticism, and whatever else.

Seriously, knothole is a great community with lovely people. Please go poke around, post, join discussions, whatever. We can use fresh blo..er... faces. Yes. Fresh faces.

From lapifors.

( Long, and probably pretty boring. )

Sorry for the boring ramble. Feel free to argue--just be civil.

Notes: Saint Francis de Sales is the Patron Saint of Writers--it's a fictional church, but it should be obvious why I chose the name. Eostre is an Anglo-Saxon goddess whose traditions are seen in Christian Easter. Aaron Norfair belongs to engelhund and this story is a gift for her.

Happy Easter!

( The Easter Dragon )

Just a quick meme. I've been arranging the sequence of events for a few stories(two Murray siblings, one prequel to Song of the Phoenix, and one about a different Ephresian, Quartz, in another country). I'll probably put up a few character data sheets too.

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd   Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.

(I have no idea where Drama Nerd came from. Granted, I was a lead in a school play once and I like to act out parts and make up voices for characters, but... hm.)

Look! Something NOT about the Murrays!

My girlfriend, engelhund, and I have an original universe called Ephresia. The races of this universe all consider themselves human, but are divided into various races with certain traits of animals. (Some, like my Hokai, lump several animals together.) In any case, this was more or less a gift for her, set in this world. The Tsing race and the characters Han, Xi, and Lady Xao are all hers.

Another 'snapshot' of the Murray siblings, about a year before the planned opening of the novel-length story.

I'll post more supernatural stories involving them at some point. e.e It's supposed to be modern fantasy... but, the idea of these is to more deeply familiarize myself with them. (I insist on knowing my characters' ages, birthdays, grandparents' names and occupations, first pets, and damn near everything i know about myself, generally.)
    

 

Note: As far as I can tell, there is no patron saint of coffee itself. There are, however, two patron saints of coffee house keepers. One is Nativity of the Blessed Virgin... a title of Mary, who seems to be Patron Saint Of Damn Near Everything. The other is Drogo, a pious shepherd/pilgrim; he was apparently able to bilocate, which WOULD certainly seem to indicate coffee house patronage. Interestingly, HIS mother died while giving birth to him, just like someone else. Ah, coincidence.

A slice-o'-life for my premier characters, the Murray siblings. This was originally written for a hundred-fics challenge(which I am sadly slacking off on). Not terribly fond of it anymore, but... eh... it's cute.
