Gods, I'm tired.

I should be studying for my finals- I know, it's always something, isn't it? And I am going to go and study, but...hell, I wrote this thing, you know? May as well post it.

So. I was avoiding studying for my PoliSci final (*yawn*), went skimming over my old Alias fic (Game Over, if anybody cares), and the first line for this new one suddenly hit me. And the rest of it kind of flowed from there. *shrugs*

( They have all killed Allison )

I had no busienss writing this today, of course. But I won't tell if you won't.

[Also posted at the GreatestJournal, but I'm posting it here because I doubt anyone will see it over there.

Wrote this a while ago, but it's one of those where it took me a while to figure out it was finished; it didn't need to go on anymore.

( Someone had to tell her... )

I should post this to ff.n, submit it to FictionAlley, but I'm lazy. It is on my site, though, over here.

Comments?

Because I feel like showing it off, and because somebody asked (that would be tarimanveri), here's the OoP missing scene fic, which is still lacking a title.

Minor OoP spoilers, but nothing major (as in, no death spoilers).

( Snape/McGonagall, PG-13 at least for language and such )

There's a bit more that decided it needed to be written today, mostly dealing with returning the cloak, but it's pretty useless. I may do something else with it, though.

...So? Title suggestions? Comments? Anything?

By the way, has anyone noticed that LJ spellcheck suddenly can't figure out contractions? Strange.

I already did one thing for the hp100 boggart challenge, but this one just hit me. It was really hard to pare this one down to 100 words; the Moody boggart was a lot easier.

It so had to be done, you know.

Minerva's boggart. Snape/McGonagall.

Sometimes I just want to hug them both.

I've got to get my act together, get my sites up. I write something I actually want to share with people, I want to be able to do it right away.

Sent this one to Fiction Alley, so eventually it will be up there. Also finally got it uploaded to fanfiction.net, and hate myself for going to the effort...

Anyway. The Secret Hours

Harry Potter. Snape/McGonagall. A Chamber of Secrets what-if. Probably first in a series. Because don't you ever wonder why, when things happen, no matter what strange hour it is, Snape is always followed immediatly by McGonagall, or vice versa?

I probably should have started with Sorcerer's Stone instead, but I was reading Chamber when this one hit me, so...

I've also got two multi-chapter fics that are going up with the Urbandruid pages; one is the post-GoF fic I'm trying desperatly to finish before Order of the Phoenix comes out; the other is a serious epic, starting with Voldemort's first rise and probably going clear through to his second. I'll probably do some fast-forwarding after Halloween of '81, skip forward to Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts, maybe... haven't gotten that far yet on the outline.

Silly thing about that story, really- I started it as a vignette, just a short Minerva point of view. And then it just started growing, until I started sketching out the chapters- and I used to hate outlines- and realized just how large it was going to be when it grew up. I was trying to keep it within canon, but I already had to fudge it a little.

I was just going to sit on both of these fics until they were done, but it seemed silly to only have my single completed HP fic on the sites.

Yep. I'm going through a Potter phase.

And I could kill FF.N for having that lovely little 'select your main characters' thing and not bloody listing Minerva McGonagall.

They have Filch listed, though. Argh!

I've been too busy to write, buried under piles of schoolwork. Especally since I missed all my Wendsday classes (it was W., not Tuesday) to go to the eye doctor.

I passed the word problems test in math; now we're on to factoring, which I think I already hate. Stopped by my teacher's office after class for a quick little catch up tutoring session, which I think helped a lot.

fablespinner has a yard sale this weekend, and I know she has some good stuff. I, of course, have no money, which totally figures. Catch you next time, D!

I should do real, you know, journal entries about a few things, the con I went to with D and Wendsday at Dr. L's being two of them. One of these days.

Going to Michael and Jonni's tonight- social, no Cam stuff, which probably means beer or alchohol of some form. Having a former bartender as one of your best friends really rocks, you know. "Here, Christine, try this..."

Have decided I'm throwing them a party before they go.

Oh, and due to the resurgance of my Gundam Wing obsession, Ghost Knight chapter 15 is up at FF.N. It's not up on my site because I see no point in uploading to Sentri what I'll just have to upload again to Urbandruid.

I should probably mention Piers Anthony's Incarnations series as a bit of my inspiration somewhere in the author's notes. Especally On a Pale Horse.

Yeah. My ex has good taste in books sometimes, even if he is, well... our former fearless leader, eh bohemienne?

Have shot off email to thenonsense, containing list of ideas, seeking second opinon. Now have nothing else to stall with, so must go and do homework.

Blah.

Also finished Alias fic last night, Triangle. Revising last ep, "Phase One". Syd sneaks Irina out of federal custody to go rescue Jack- mother-daughter ass-kicking little adventure. Posted to ff.n despite telling self I wouldn't; like the way the reviews pop up in my inbox for a day or two after. 2 so far, not that I keep track or anything.

Sigh. Math homework. Right.

I've spent the afternoon making thumbnails and coding. And now for some reason I am annoyed with myself for not having an Alias pen name to go with the rest of my collection. I always think my real name is too boring for these things. Hmm... Chris Bristow? Hell, why bother? There are probably a million Bristows, like there are a million Malfoys now. I'll check FF.N sometime, just for laughs.

At least the bastards finally let me overwrite the HTML fic with the text file. I like it better in HTML, or maybe I'm just used to, when I put things on a website, being able to code them. Go figure. FF.N is a nightmare, though; was talking to thenonsense about this yesterday (other things too), and she's given up on the place. Probably this is wise of her, but I keep hanging in there. I mean, I get the occasional review at FF.N. Granted, a lot of them suck, but the two I've gotten so far for Without Light are good.

Fuck! I go to the trouble of correcting the episode title in the summary (It's "A Higher Echelon", instead of "Upper Echelon") and they go and cut it off at the first quote mark. Grr... Must fix.

Okay. LJ spell check is hilarious. I couldn't remember how to spell Echelon, which it wasn't actually much help with. As for the rest of it, apparently Lindsay's username is a misspelled word. Who knew? And "okay" is not a word. *lol*

Mmmkay. FF.N still sucks, there are 100 people with Malfoy in their aliases there, and no Bristows, though there is a Mrs. Sydney Vaughn. Why am I not surprised?

Some people have that, you know, handle for all occasions thing going for them. Me, I collect them, and I go through these phases where I loath all of them. Right now I look at my collection- Lilly Malfoy, Anne Khushrenada, Anla'shok Ivanova, and I find them...I don't know, lacking something.
