First, stolen from delleve:


You are Morgan Le Faye, King Arthur's sister. One
of the most mysterious and enchanting lady of
Camelot, Morgan was an powerful sorceress.

Which Lady of Camelot Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Go me. I get to be a sorceress. BIG surprise.

So after I got home from work tonight I saw all this grey activity outside the front door and for a moment I thought it was my errant wandering cat, but it proved to be four of the baby raccoons who were born in my yard this summer. We call them Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, for lack of better names. One of them lies on the deck outside my kitchen door just like a dog, head on paws, tail curled around (Homer Simpson d'oh! moment: that must be Padfoot).

Today, one of the four ate food out of my paw hand. I don't like to do that (and it is really stupid because, you know, they're wild critters), but it was kind of satisfying nonetheless.

I will try not to obsess over Jack.

Our satellite internet gets fixed tomorrow.

I finished my James & Sirius fifth-year fic last night. Thank you to my two betas, sff_corgi (who is also kind of like my main squeeze in a non-slash kind of way if that makes any sense), and cedricsmistress. When the Quill is back up -- now it looks like 7 September at the soonest -- I'll submit it along with all the other huge backlog of fics. If I download an FTP client I can put it on my web site first. Or... I can upload it to the Weird_Sisters yahoo!group, where I also have a folder. So many options.

So much fun writing 5th-years for a change. I like taking the HP characters out of their elements but keeping them in character. It's a good challenge.

Weird_Sisters could use the traffic. Lord knows JB and Corgi have gone missing!!!! Congrats on being able to write. I haven't touched AP in 2 months and the hate mail in my box is getting deep.

Aside from your comments, I don't think I've ever had a single word of feedback from any fic I've posted at W_S. I don't know if it's because people are blase or don't care or aren't fussed to read or because it's so slow in general that they just don't feel like commenting or because my fics suck... I just don't know.

But I do know that if people don't post there, then W_S will be a thing of the past, too. I try. I've answered questions posed and posted stuff, but it doesn't seem to generate any discussion. So a discussion with one's self is usually best held in front of a mirror, don't you think?

Summer is a difficult time to write. It's been slow. People get antsy. People go on vacation.

Maybe I'll just wait till the Quill is back up and post the story there, I'm undecided. I did write it with the Quill in mind so it's one of those 'I'm so canon!' stories, not based on my pre-OotP Sirius at all, though with a few changes it could be.

Not sure, not sure. Sorry about your hate mail, though. That's not fair.
