::weeps:: my dreamlife. Just-- sigh.

( I dreamed I gave birth to a cat )

I have huge thanks to risiepookie and the duo of wolfiekins and koshweasley for their packages which have brightened up my week. Risie, your cards are always works of art, and the kind words you included made me feel like a prized jewel. I'd written you a letter on Monday or Tuesday, so hopefully you'll get that soon. Wolfie and Kosh, thank you very much for the sage and other goodies. Your thank you note went out the next day. I'll get caught up with you guys this weekend.

In fic news, again in the shower, I found inspiration! I can tie together my TQP auction story for callumjames with the one for my weasley_fest recipient by changing pairings for the second one. They'd both be AU, and the pairings don't overlap, but they could complement each other, but without needing to read the other. I'm newly excited! :)

Happy Thursday, all!

Majoritython: gacked from altariel1

I need this inspiration like a hole in my head. And yet, I want to promote it, so I'm spreading the word. Here's commentary from Altariel:

majoritython: "To celebrate the possibility that (at long, long last) either a woman or a person of color will be the next American president by producing fanworks about people of color and women in positions of political power." This could include:

• Slash, het or gen fic about a woman and/or person of color in any fandom who holds elected or appointed civil office, or who governs or rules a country, planet or federation.


• RPF about a historical or contemporary person of color and/or woman who holds elected or appointed civil office, or who governs or rules a country or sovereign territory.


• Icons, graphics and vids about any of the above.

Brainstorming and signups are going on now; here's the FAQ. And please spread the word around your fandoms!



I have two words: Kingsley Shacklebolt.

She also mentioned Constance Markievicz, someone I'd never heard of. I now want to write historical fiction. This is both really cool, and also something I really Must. Not. Do. Right. Now. But when I go to Ireland next fall, which is part of my Grand Plan, I'll be going to places to do with her. Wow.

Back to your regularly scheduled Thursdays…
