Hello again everyone =) I can't believe I've been away for so long - it's been nigh on 18 months since I've last updated this journal, and since I sort-of-subconsciously-with-no-reason-in-particular retracted my toe-dipping from the HP fandom. In that time, I've somehow acquired a new boyfriend and moved to Jakarta (Indonesia) for 9 months for work, but now I'm back home in KL (Malaysia) and find myself drawn irresistibly back into the HP fandom, and my beloved HD, again.

I've signed myself up for the [info]hd_holidays and [info]hp_emofest fic fests, so hopefully you'll be seeing some new fic here soon! Also, I've had some thoughts brewing on a couple of original characters... watch this space.

I missed LJ and HP - it feels good to be back! &hearts

[info]hd_holidays has posted its Big Reveal!

One of my favourite fics from the fest (sadly under-rated in the rec lists) was Harry and Draco Go to Kentucky Fried Chicken - I just wanted to cuddle it to death. KFC! Leicester Square! What could be better? &hearts

And here it is, my own humble little offering:

Poems on the Underground

Here it is, my contribution to the magnificent wellspring of fandom talent that is [info]hd_holidays *bounces*

(Really, this story is about London, written in London, when I was consumed by wistfulness for London. Hence the title, in honour of pockets of poetry found in the unlikeliest of places)

Had afternoon tea at the Pump Room in Bath today. Mmm, scones. Scones and clotted cream! *ecstasy*

And lo, after a long interlude, here it is - new fic! *strokes the shininess*

*looks around at the slow and inexorable erosion of post!updates in the past month or so wincingly* (is wincingly a word?)

O wearying state of full-employment, see what large and gaping holes you have riven in my promises of regular updates!

The current state of posting is rather abysmal, isn't it ... gah. Given my Pavlovian-like tendencies to dive for the nearest warm!soft!friendly! surface after a harrowing day at work (oh trusty duvet, how I owe you my lifelong allegiance, your duck-feathered folds haven't failed me yet) I guess it isn't terribly surprising. *scuffs a guilty foot*

Well, looming cloud of work-related heebeejeebies notwithstanding, I'd like to post the working copy of the small and humble beginnings of a new fic, where Harry and Draco are flatmates, and Draco is gay and Harry is not ... yet.

*toddles off with a semi-appeased conscience*

Semantics

A little drabble, in honour of wiggling droplets of rain and quiet car rides. Oh holiday, where art thou? I need you, I do, I do.

I've been sitting on this for a while. Originally written for a challenge, it got a bit - stuck - towards the middle, and I alternatively love it and hate it. I'm not posting it anywhere (besides here in the gloomy bowels of my own journal, of course) cuz it's only about halfway done and probably doesn't make any sense! Would love some constructive feedback though.. *pulls le puppy-eyedness*

Ok, taking a break from the huge monster of a fic I'm committed to for a challenge, and produced some happy!fic instead.

Behold! ... Fluffy!Draco!

In a nostalgic mood for sun-dappled afternoons and white duvets, hazy comfort and the pure and wonderful joy that is H/D fic..
 
Hence, the little drabble.

Haha - here it is, my cookie for [info]miettes_desmots : 

The Malfoy Guide to Mating

Fourth day at work.. and counting (remaining brain cells)...

ETA (after re-reading fic): Oh my gawd - *points to fic* I'm, like, officially a loon. What is work DOING to me?!! *shakes head in sorrow and awe*

Ok. I got all excited today cuz I think I discovered a new Harry!model *squees* .. and so, erm, these kinda popped out.

I find Adobe Photoshop so.. comforting. It's a bit like knitting or cross-stitching, I guess. Kinda brainless, but you get all excited about the outcome.

Anyway.. here they are! *flourishes*

Ok. My Professor Potter manip got me thinking.. won't it be nice if I had a Quidditch!Harry to go with?

.. Thus quickly spiralling into the creation of...

0002x3cg

And, of course, since I could never let one art piece dwell in solitude, I made a little icon and a little animation to celebrate.

Was just at the bookstore today. Saw this and laughed out loud. Scared various passing children.

One Hundred Great Books in Haiku by David Bader.
'Tis full of absolute jewels, jewels I tell you. Such as this little miettes des mots:

The Canterbury Tales

Pilgrimmes on spryng braekke - 
roadde trippe! Whoe farrted? Yiuw didde.
Noe, naught meae. Yaes, yiuw.

Bee-in-the-bonnet.. Potter-on-the-brain.

Don't blame me. Blame me kind grandparents' loan of their laptop to me for *cough* work.

*twiddles thumbs*

In between being shepherded from one relative's house to another's.. I had the inkling that my Professor Potter looked a bit lonesome.. so I came home and scabbled this together....!



The inestimable Mr Nick Potts, as usual.

In other news, my compy seems to have died. I woke up and it just wouldn't work properly - after being switched on for two minutes the screens goes scary and weird (as in all the pics and images are jumbled up) and I probably gave it a heart attack by switching it on and off repeatedly 20 times, to no avail. Oh noo!!! What about all my pictures? My essays? My fics?!
