The other day I offered ficlets for that alphabet meme thing, and a lot of you took me up on it! So here they are, in an easy-to-read form. There are still a few letters left but I think I'm pretty safe in saying that I have fulfilled all requests!

Since I sort of think I am never going to finish these, I figured I might as well post them for posterity, at the very least. And hey, if someone feels the desire to finish them for me, you have my permission to do what you will with them.

( Harry Potter fic based on the Nanny Diaries. )

*

( Jensen is a governess fic. No, I don't even understand what I was trying to do here. If anyone else can figure it out... )

*

( A popslash AU based on 'Gone' that I started for Autumn Challenge a million years ago and never finished. It's pretty good actually. Hmm. )

*

( A tiny bit of a skater AU I was going to write for a JuC something-or-other. I had just watched the X-Games. Yesterday the World Championships were on and the PLG won again and Bucky didn't even place, very sad. He tried the 720 though and almost made it, but he didn't stay on so. Anyway. Fic. )

*

( I started writing this for the Dragon challenge. JC convinces Lance to join his World of Warcraft guild. This is actually pretty hilarious. But so much research! Luckily, my friends are all fonts of WoW knowledge. Maybe I will finish it someday. I can't even remember what pairing it was going to be, though. )

*

And that's it. And now my laundry is done! YAY.

I finished.

!!!
!!!!!!

More tomorrow. Need to sleep now. But I will say: *draws one million hearts*

Dudes. Wickipedia is MAGIC. Just look at that--it lists everyone who has been cast in Order of the Phoenix, including Natalia Tena (most notably as the punk girl in About A Boy) as Tonks, Susie Shinner as Lily Evans, and Robbie Jarvis as Young James Potter. It also tells me that Robbie Jarvis is 19, so I have to really really wonder what's going to happen in Snape's Worst Memory. Harry and James are supposed to look almost exactly alike, but let's face it--Dan still looks like a little boy, and I somehow doubt this Robbie guy can pull off looking 15. If someone can find me a better picture than the one on Mugglenet, I will have your babies. Or um, maybe not, but I'll write you something.

According to Wikipedia, both Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith "have made no comment about returning." Now, if Rickman does not return as Snape... man. That will be seriously disappointing. I can't imagine him NOT coming back, considering that Rowling has told him Snape's fate. On the other hand, Kenneth Branaugh may be back as Lockhart, who was supposedly still in the first draft of the script. Now that I'd like to see.

And just for being so patient, here are some HP icons (and one Firefly I made for lecksee, because everyone loves Mal). Use, abuse, alter, whatevs.

Title: The Death of a Soul, A Blowjob Beneath a Table, and the Rain of Toads That Followed
Author: phaballa
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco; also featuring a Very Depressed and Tragic Snape, and a Somewhat Harried, Often Frustrated Remus
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or his associates. That happy right belongs to JK Rowling, etc.
Warnings: See title. Also drugs.
Summary: Severus Snape was dying. Not in the way that one normally thinks of as dying, what with the failing of body and mind and so forth. He was barely fifty years old after all, and considering his genetic makeup (recent history notwithstanding, of course, and adjusting for his rather disgusting Muggle father whose blood would no doubt decrease his life span by no less than five years) Severus had at least another seventy-five years left to live. He was in his prime, really, but instead of being on his third glory-seeking wife and seventh trollopy mistress he was stuck inside this school, dying.
Author's notes: Originally written for merry_smutmas as a gift for the lovely ishafel. This fic is on crack, and for that I am truly sorry. It's meant to be based on the film Magnolia and the last few lines are taken from that. Thanks to my beta, petulantgod who not only came up with the ending and really helped the entire fic not suck so much, but also made people think I'm British, w00t!
Yet More Comments: And a big thanks to everyone over at merry_smutmas who read and reviewed. I got some wonderful comments and a very nice response there, despite the fact that this fic is totally on drugs.

So in case you all didn't listen to my very excited phone post from the line party last night at the GoF midnight release in Austin, go listen to it. It's the entry right before this one, I am not linking because I am lazy and have only had 3 hours of sleep, so deal with it. The line party itself was totally amazing. The Alamo Drafthouse always does a great job and last night was no exception. We got in line at 8pm. There were fire dancers, owls (a table with a glass case of dead stuffed owls, as well as actual live owls, one of which looked just like Hedwig and one that greatly resembled Pigwidgeon), chocolate frogs, a butterbeer (which was some sort of alcoholic beverage) fountain, a chocolate fountain, a magician, and the coolest t-shirts ever. I got a Republicans for Voldemort t-shirt but they also had some with the Dark Mark, some that said "I solemnly swear I am up to no good," and a very strange one with Harry's head/scar. I found myself wishing my "Support Cedric Diggory" t-shirt actually said "Support Cedric Diggory: the real Hogwarts Champion" on the front and "Potter stinks!" on the back. Oh well, it was a gift.

They let us in to be seated at 10pm. From 10 to 11 I texted with anise_anise and lecksee while watching the most bizarre...montage thing... ever. It included about 10 minutes of a woman doing aerobics, James Brown singing on Soul Train, a commercial involving something about breakfast food from what looked like the 60s, and a music video of a cover of "California Dreaming" that takes place in Paris. It's the Drafthouse... typical weirdness.

From 11 to midnight they had a Harry Potter-related pre-show, which included an episode of Wonder Woman, an episode of Super Chicken (horrible), and an episode of a British tv show from the 70s about a school of witches that involved Tim Curry singing and some extremely bad special effects. OH and an episode of He-Man, about to origins of the Sorcorous. That's really not spelled right, please forgive me. And then the movie started.

( Cut to protect the eyes of the unlucky Australians who do not get the film until December first, haha. )

And now that I've gone and shown everyone what I gigantic dork I am, it's time to go. I hope everyone enjoyed the film and had a good release, or will do so in the future!
