Four of my fics have been nominated in six categories for the Spring/Summer round of the HP Fanfic Fanpoll Awards.
My second fic for this year’s HP Humpdrabbles Hump Fest on LiveJournal was “When I Waked, I Cried to Dream Again.” It was a gift for Dallirious, written to her prompts: : “every now and then I fall apart,” secret handshakes, masquerades, Muggle artifacts, and “bonus points if you add a baby (even if they lose it).”
I wrote two fics for this year’s HP Humpdrabbles Hump Fest on LiveJournal. The first, “Comme Un Rêve de Pierre” was a gift for wwmrsweasleydo, who supplied the prompt: Secrets, infidelities, betrayals, substitutes, overwhelming passions, past secret liaisons, questionable paternity, Dark magic, taboos, magical objects, rivalries, redemption, rehabilitation, grieving, moving on, reuniting.
I’ve posted the first chapter of a new fic, Till A’ the Seas Gang Dry (December 1957).
This will be a short, multi-chaptered fic that follows Albus and Minerva through a brief honeymoon in Muggle Italy. It takes place just after Chapter 54 of Epithalamium, but it isn’t necessary to have read that story to enjoy this one.
A few of my favorite stories from one of the best Harry Potter fests around, HP Beholder, which features characters not considered “attractive” by the general population. Continue reading »

I posted a wishlist at
hp_humpdrabbles just yesterday, and today I opened my browser and was greeted by my lovely gift!
Writer Dallirious has given me a wonderful sketch of some of my favorite characters—Aberforth, Poppy, Minerva—dealing with fear and loss, and finding courage in their own particular ways, with the spectre of a deceased Albus hanging over it all. Continue reading »
I’m loving that Disney and Warner Brothers are tangling over copyrights for products based on public domain materials.
Disney is the company, you’ll recall, behind the ridiculous extension of copyright, also known as the “Mickey Mouse Protection Act.” And Warner Bros. (WB) are no slouches when it comes to zealous protection of its properties. Continue reading »
I was interested to hear that Smash, a porn company who made a film based on Fifty Shades of Grey and was promptly sued for copyright and trademark infringement by Universal, who paid US$5 million for the film rights to E.L. James’s book, is now claiming that because the original was largely based on fanfiction, it is in the public domain.

Now that the reveals are over, I can post my fic, Alone and Palely Loitering, from this year’s Dysfuncentine Fest on LiveJournal.
It was written to the prompt: “La mort c’est seulement la mort, mais l’amour, c’est l’amour” (Magnetic Fields – Underwear). I admit, I’d never heard of the band before (but have since enjoyed it), the quotation was so delicious that I couldn’t resist.
