new otp?

[electricalgwen]

My six-year-old just mainlined the entire Harry Potter series to date, and is now rereading them while waiting for Book 7 to appear. I've been reading through them again too, as a result, and we watched movies 2-4 over the past week. Perhaps that explains why I was so enticed by the notion of this pairing and followed a link from the su_herald - then the story reinforced it. If you like crossovers, intelligent writing, good characterization, and snark, go read! I really enjoyed it.

Recruit, Giles/Snape, NC-17

They're made for each other! Don't you think? ;)

Story is complete, link takes you to chapter one, chapters linked in sequence from there.

Yes, I really should be writing instead of reading, but I just can't. Panic mode is setting in.

haha! eee! no, you're not allowed to have a new OTP! because if you did, then i'd have to sit down and read all 1200 of those books just so i could keep up with what you wrote! :)

psst -> speaking of new otp, would you by any chance be available to beta something erin and i wrote? it's short, and i hope, painless. *g*

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure, send it! :)

[laisserais]

LOL! it's not, because they're not a New OTP. ;P

cool, i should be getting a revised thing from erin today. i'll pass it on! and psst -> oh man, you have no idea how much i want to steal that icon! i think it's my most favorite of all time.

Ah, yes, I missed that point! *facepalm*

You're welcome to steal it! Only problem is I nicked it from someone else back before I actually had an LJ, and I hadn't worked out my system of saving with username of maker, so I don't know who to credit.

hee! you know? I think i just might, because i am so in love with it. and i'll tell people that i can't credit it because it's your fault. *g*

btw - do you know how to punctuate and capitalize poetry?

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

There's a way to punctuate and capitalize??

Ha, no, seriously - sort of. I tend to use whatever I please in my own to make particular points of emphasis (at least, in my own mind; other people may not have the same view of ellipses, semi-colons, etc. as I do). "Officially", the same rules of grammar and punctuation apply to poetry as they do to prose, but as you're aware this "rule" is broken more than it's observed. Line breaks are often used as natural commas/breaths, for instance; capitals used to indicate a larger break but without the finality of a period, maybe where a semi-colon would be in formal prose. (Reminds me, on the icon theft theme, that I keep meaning to nick Erin's "semi-colon = love" icon! ;)

Why?

[laisserais]

Lol, cool! I'm glad that the rules are open to interpretation, a little bit. :) um, you'll see... I think erin will be sending it to you today. *eg*
