( You Still Know Just What I Want For Christmas )

I greet you from a stone manor filled with plastic rats, floggers, chocolate cake and perverts. And adorable people.

There will be talk of this later. For now, I’m just going to talk about stuff going on in November.

I’m doing NaNoWriMo! I will be writing about fourteen-year-old boys and magic. Fourteen-year-old boys who do not get raped by werewolves. I doubt I’ll be talking about it much; I think it might/will get dull. Still, I’m making a NaNoWriMo filter. Comment to be added! Do you want to hear about progress and characters and stuff? Or are you doing it yourself? Maybe we can just whine at each other in comments. I’ve never done this before, so I don’t know how it’ll turn out.

SECOND. I will still be posting in November, every day. Because November is Britian’s National Poetry Month. So every day, I’m going to post a favourite poem of mine. And probably some squee underneath about how I LOVE IT OMG, which might be funny if I post some sober Thomas Hardy or something.

This is opt-in, not opt-out poetry. If you want to be on the filter (incidentally, I don’t know how to make the filters work, but I’m sure I’ll work it out) then comment! POETRY.

I had a great weekend with Miss Godfrey, despite wearing my new shoes to walk around cobbles for thirteen hours and learning painfully that I have gone up a shoe size. I don’t even know how, I AM NINETEEN I HAVE STOPPED GROWING.

Also, Dreamwidth codes! If you want ’em, I’ve got ’em, although I imagine most people who want a Dreamwidth account have one by now. I really must start posting over there.

Item three in this extremely lacking-in-proper-paragraphs post: I’m signing up for

hp_darkfest! I had a really fun, creepy idea while on MSN with

lavillanueva, and I want to write it. (Plus,

melusinahp is lovely. Plus plus, I want to butter her up because I’m writing original fic involving a fetish club and I have no idea what I’m doing.) So YAY FOR DARKFEST! It has loads of amazing writers signing up, and I’m super excited. Even if I now have to search through the MOUNTAINS of archived discussion between Lindsay and I, looking for the plans for the fic.

I have found something in the search! Naturally, not what I was looking for: I wrote a sonnet about kink, ages ago. I don’t think I posted it – if I did, I failed at using the ‘poetry’ tag – so here is a sonnet titled HURRAH FOR FETISHES.

It’s a terrible title, but I like using ‘hurrah’ because it shows up in old school stories and/or Enid Blyton.

( Hurrah for Fetishes! )

EXAMS ARE OVER! GLEE!

The Concepts in Literary Study exam was the worst I’ve ever taken bar none, but at least it’s over. And I went with the Lesbifriends (I know, we have a pun problem) to the Creative Writing Society Open Mic Night (catchy name) last night. It was awesome. Especially since my friend Violet read some of her poetry and did it brilliantly. They were so funny and effective; I’m still thinking about them now. She’s putting together a collection and it will be brilliant, if the poems we heard are any indication.

*grins* I love writer friends. She’s gonna be published soon, I’m sure. Although the poems are more effective read out – maybe she’s the next Taylor Mali? Only, you know, a girl.

Speaking of poetry... it’s Limerick Day! (Thank goodness, because unlike Violet I can't do freeverse.) So here we go.

The American public’s been getting hateful,
Over maggots and rat hairs – a plateful!
But the FDA’s tricky,
They say it’s just icky,
So suck up your flies and be grateful!

*smirks* Sorry, guys. I just read an article about all the stuff that can go into food before it’s considered contaminated in the US. To make up for this, have something porny.

Title: You Harlot
Word count: 28
Characters/pairings: Harry/Draco
Rating NC-17. It’s a limerick, that’s what it’s for.
Warnings: Spanking, making light of prostitution?
Disclaimer: The boys belong to JKR, even though I’m often much nicer to them than she is.
Author’s Notes: Written for

poetic_hp’s current challenge, luck.

( You Harlot )

Being ill at really inappropriate times. And sleeping a lot, when you're used to being able to stay up late with very little in the way of ill effects.

/whine

Er... I should say something else so this isn't just the Grumpy Ill Post that I'll cringe at in a few days. Have a limerick.

There was a woman, name of Narcissa,
Her husband did love to kiss 'er,
The Aurors didn't aim to please,
So she kicked 'em between the knees,
They cried, and all the hexes missed 'er!

...I'm tired.

Title: I Grant I Never Saw A God(dess) Go
Word count: ~100

Rating PG
Summary: A sonnet for the real Harry Potter.
Warnings: D/s suggestion
Disclaimer: The boys belong to JKR, even though I’m often much nicer to them than she is.
Author’s Notes: Written for

poetic_hp’s current prompt, love. Naturally I wrote a sonnet for the prompt, even if the iambic pentameter fell at the final couplet. My thanks and apologies to William Shakespeare and his Sonnet CXXX

Title: Marked
Characters/pairings: Harry/Draco
Author's Notes: Dedicated to

pushdragon, who said she didn't think Harry got it. I thought she was right, and this is the result! This is the sequel to Harry/Draco Haiku (a suggestion for an actual title would be welcome!)

( Marked )

enchanted_jae just made a comm for Potter poetry:

poetic_hp. I made the inaugural post! :d No fake-cuts, in honour of it being first post, but I'm still posting here.

First off, guys: the awesome writer Amanda Marrone is giving away books! There are five copies to win, and you get an extra name-in-the-hat if you write a supernatural poem, as well as a shot at a witch ball. I wrote one, and even though I wrote it in sixty seconds I rather like it.

( Not Another Anita Blake )

I blame

lavillanueva for this one! We were talking about how awesome semi-colons are (yes, we're nerds. This is the internet) and to show my love, I've written a sonnet to my favourite punctuation mark. In iambic pentameter.

I just put up two offers: to write fanfic or original fic of 5000 words, and to write four sonnets. I'm pretty nervous, and I feel a little ridiculous to be acting like people would pay money for one of my stories! But I also feel much better - this is such a good cause, and I was starting to feel so guilty that I wasn't one of the many, many fandomers who've offered to help! I'm lucky enough to be able to marry a woman if I choose to, and I want to share the luck around!

Seriously, guys. I'm assuming and hoping you've all seen this already, but go and look again! There's the most amazing stuff on offer.

Right, I'm going to go and have a nervous breakdown at the idea that I've just posted to say '£££ or I won't write for you'. Yes, I know it's for charity. That doesn't make me feel much less anxious.
