after it's all over and done
So, having got my cd-writer apparently working, for the purpose of my presentation Monday, I went through a bunch of files and lj stuff. Because I know Mom wants a hard copy of some kind of this journal. But I still can't figure out any good way of saving it that includes comment pages, wah. But I did go through and revamp my memories. Although there's more that needs added there, it'll do to start.
And it turns out my ratio of non-completed to completed stories is a lot lower than I'd thought. At least if you count only what I've posted to lj.
And while I was at it, I pulled out a bunch of random plot bunny ideas I'd scattered around LJ in the past year and a half which I still haven't even seen anyone try to write, including me. And someone needs to. So they get quoted here, in hopes that *somebody* will pick up on them:
Brains are sexy--
No! I am not going to write Ron/Brain! No!
As for Hogwarts, the only religion I get any resonance from there is classical
Spiritualism, which I think clearly does inform the metaphysics. It's certainly
within reason to think there are pagan reconstructionists within the culture.
But I can't help but think they'd be closer to Stukeley-type druids than
modern-day Pagans, what with the fondness for bizarre secret cults and
ceremonies and 'race memory' and elaborately faked genealogies and such . . .
Menstrual blood is a lot thinner than regular blood, isn't it? Plus it's got all
those . . . hormones and fleshy bits in it. I can't imagine it would be good for
a vampire, nutritionally. Although, I can imagine it making him grow breasts if
he did that too often. q:
For example, random thought:
Harry Potter: Wizard: Greatest talent--> Not dying
Rincewind: Wizzard: Greatest talent--> Not dying.
"Voldemort's anger would make sense if he was no nearer to laying hands on the
weapon, whatever it was. . .Had the Order thwarted him, stopped him from seizing
it? Where was it kept? Who had it now?
'Mimbulus mimbletonia,' said Ron's voice."
p. 383, us hardback.
You know, I wonder why they don't celebrate Guy Fawkes Day in Harry Potter. At
least, they don't in the American versions, I don't *think* they do in the
British. The Gunpowder Plot was a century before the Secrecy Statute, so it
certainly would have affected them. Were the wizards siding with the Catholics?
Is the whole burn people on bonfires thing too touchy a subject for them? That
would be a very interesting way to explore Wizard/Muggle politics before the
isolationist era . . .
TOKOZ/ORAUN OTP!!!
Something involving London Below and a certain scar on Albus Dumbledore's knee.
Preferably including himself and the Marquis trying to out-manipulate each
other.

I know some people are really careful to always post an explanation when they edit an entry, but I only bother if I've actually altered the content. *shrug*

I will have to try it as soon as I'm home on a Windows computer. Yay! Thanks!

I always got the impression his metier was more cringing behind cover as chaos erupted around him.
But that would probably be a good strategy against Voldemort, actually, come to think of it. Especially if he had Harry around to cause the chaos.
