Writing Prompts The lj community, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) hpgw_otp has issued The Fortune Cookie Challenge. Prompts are from fortune cookies and the fics have to relate to Harry and Ginny in some way. Even if you're not an H/G writer, or don't want to claim a prompt, check them out anyway. There are lots of GREAT ideas for short stories: http://community.livejournal.com/hpgw_otp/52837.htmlCome on, writers on my flist! It's time to write some drabbles and short stories. Times are tough and we need to entertain ourselves. ("In MY day we just had sticks and the internet for fun . . . .") I'll promote you on my journal if you write your fic. from a prompt on that list by the end of August. :) | | Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 | | 1:17 pm |
She Cooks, Too Okay so I haven't been cooking/baking as much since King William has been away, but I do have recipes to share. These two are for blueberries. I didn't convert the measurements since I suffer from "oh, dear maths." ( Read more... ) | | Friday, July 4th, 2008 | | 12:32 pm |

More Homework Completed! A Charlie/Kathleen Drabble Because I decided to push ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) girlyswot's buttons about Charlie's eyes, tdu000 issued this challenge: So now I officially challenge girlyswot and stmargarets (and anyone else who fancies a go) to write suitably appalling descriptions of Charlie's eyes so as to quite put me off not only the colour but my breakfast too! Here's my 400 word drabble. ( Read more... ) | | 8:40 am |
Summer School Since I've been failing at LJ lately, I have to go to summer school. This meme is homework set by rdprice29Rules of the Ever-Shifting Question Meme: A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

Whatever Happened to St. Margarets? I was going to call this “An Update” but that has a CNN Breaking News connotation and nothing that’s been going on in my life recently has been that earthshaking. So this is a more of a VH1 “Where are They Now?” type of entry (sans sex scandals or drama of any kind, alas) ( Read more... ) ETA: as I was previewing this the realtor called and asked if she could bring a couple by in ten minutes to look at the house. I have to say Prince Edward and King George can really tidy a room when they want to. We'll have to wait and see how the showing went. Thank goodness I had the beds made! | | Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 | | 7:01 am |
Wanna Buy A House? I've been cleaning it, getting ready to sell. That's why you haven't seen me around very much. *Sigh* It's going to be very hard to leave.  More images under the cut if you're interested. This is my version of the "Day In the Life Meme" going around, since I'm always home. :) ETA: How 'bout that H/G photo from HBP? LOVE the joy on Bonnie and Dan's faces. It makes me so happy. ( Read more... ) | | Friday, May 23rd, 2008 | | 10:04 am |
A Whole Lotta Living Going On A quick update. It's our anniversary today. We've been married 21 years! To celebrate, we're going to look at 4 wheel drive cars. ( Read more... ) | | Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 | | 10:45 am |
Hockey is Over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at that happy face. Does this kid love it hockey or what? George's dad took this during a game with his fancy high speed camera. They zip by way too fast for my camera.  ( Read more... )Happy Birthday to snarkhunter and daksian! I hope to have a little H/G story for you two (and the rest of the H/G fans on my flist) soon. Thanks to bronte7723 for not forgetting about me. *hugs* | | Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 | | 7:17 am |
Only Bad Things Happen Quickly The subject line is from Gordon Livingston's wise little book called Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart. I chose it for this nudge post (thanks hfleming8 and amamama) because it sums up why I've been absent from lj this past week and probably will be for the next couple of weeks. No, nothing bad has happened - we (all three of us) are just in the middle of working toward some good things. ( Read more... ) | | Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 | | 11:19 pm |
Ros's Island - Conclusions Ros walked alone to the long, arrow-like sandbar that split the island in half. ( Read more... ) | | 9:23 am |
Ros's Island- Part II St. Mags stared in amazement. Ros’s Island was heart-shaped. ( Read more... ) | | Monday, April 14th, 2008 | | 7:17 am |
Ros's Island To: My flist From: girlyswotRe: Ros’s Island. As you lot know, I’m with Charlie on an uncharted magical island in the South Pacific. I came with him to rub oil on his back help him capture the elusive Parrot Dragon (They talk!) for Dr. Dolittle, the eminent naturalist. Fortunately, we caught a pair of Parrot Dragons on the first day and have since been able to spend hours in bed study and categorise the beautiful fauna of this island. (Charlie calls it Ros’s Island because it’s so warm and lovely. Well, he didn’t say that, exactly – he just named it Ros’s Island, but I can read between the lines!)

Ros's Birthday Everyone (but Ros) read under the cut. ( Read more... ) | | Sunday, April 6th, 2008 | | 4:57 pm |
Nim's Island So Prince Edward and I went to "town" and saw Nim's Island. Unlike grandma_kate, we did not have the whole theatre to ourselves. In fact, it was sold out. Now a matinee of a "G" rated movie is not usually a heady movie-going experience, but I didn't hear any kids crying or whispering or moving around. Everyone was riveted on Gerard Butler. Poor Eddie had to go to the bathroom (After the giant coke he drank *rolls eyes*)but he didn't want to leave and miss anything. His regimented public school education paid off and he was able to wait it out until the end. :) I won't spoil anything for you, but I enjoyed all three interlocking stories. The girl who played Nim was very good (and very pretty - maybe that's what held Eddie's attention!). I also enjoyed Jodi Foster as the wacked-out adventure writer who had never had an adventure of her own. You may not know this. *snort* But moonette1 has a tiny crush active fantasy life based on Gerard Butler. I want to assure her that he was yummy in both of his roles. However, this fluff writer swooned over his "scientist" persona. *sigh* I love a man who can fix things. And he looks very good soaking wet. *grins* That's all I'm saying. So it was a great afternoon out. Two Thumbs Up! | | Saturday, April 5th, 2008 | | 6:33 pm |
A Charlie/Kathleen Drabble for girlyswot My good friend, girlyswot needed a Charlie drabble to cheer her up. Thanks to tdu000 for the beta! Title: Handling Dragons Summary: Kathleen’s vampire story is rejected Word Count: 608 Warnings: A little lighthearted naughty talk ( Read more... ) | | Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 | | 6:25 am |
H/G Story For the Changing Seasons Exchange Title: Of Hobbies and Careers Summary: How Ginny began her career as a Quidditch reporter and Harry found a new hobby. Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 3,927 Written for kateanguapotter in the Changing Season’s Exchange. Each story is supposed to incorporate the theme of changing seasons -- new times and new adventures for Harry and Ginny, combined with a shift in the weather and a reflection of change in the natural landscape. kateanguapotter requested: I want there to be cuddling. And a problem at Ginny's work, her reporting work, not her Quidditch career. I hope I fulfilled both of those requirements and that this is the type of story you were looking for, kateanguapotter! Thanks to tdu000 for the beta and r_becca for creating this exchange. The masterlist for all of the Changing Seasons stories can be found here: http://r-becca.livejournal.com/579018.html( Read more... ) | | Monday, March 31st, 2008 | | 10:50 am |
A Ron (and Ginny) fic. for kerosinkanister Title: Ron, Ginny and their Cackling Stump Summary: Ron and Ginny recreate a childhood memory. Word Count: 2,750 Warning: Mentions of the fairytale, "Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump" so there is a small spoiler for Tales of Beadle the BardA/N: This story was written for kerosinkanister, one of Ron's biggest fans.

Two Public Service Announcements Just a reminder that it's fitzette's birthday. Be sure to arrive at the parade route early . . . What? fitzette's birthday isn't a holiday in your country? It should be! It is on the internet since she is all kinds of awesome! Happy birthday, my dear. *love and hugs* I've been reading a blog written by various writers of Harlequin romances. Every Monday they post a feature called "Male on Monday." It's shallow and fun and all kinds of politically incorrect - but it brings out my inner jr. high girl. It's inspiring! Check out Ron the Builder, the hotties, the potential heroes this week. http://pinkheartsociety.blogspot.com/search/label/Male%20on%20Monday/Oh, and they also talk about writing and yadda, yadda, yadda on other days of the week. I always check that blog on Monday. :) |
