Ok. So I have finally got round to posting my entry for the 2010 Snarry Swap ( [info]snape_potter ), this was written for Wordslave and I tried to use as many of her like list as possible. This is only my second fic and my first Snarry, but I am quite pleased with it. However I would never have gotten anywhere without my fabulous beta [info]synn who not only read through the thing two or three times before I sent it off but who also had a massive rle in being reassuring and making the whole process so much easier and better than if I had struggled by myself. Thank you sooo much! Equally, thank you Mods (if you are reading this) for being so supportive with a first time fester, I would never have made it without you.

So now on to the fic, I haven't yet worked out how to make warnings only appear when you highlight so please be warned this is post-war AU and features light BDSM and some piercing.

Ok, so not only has snarry swap not quite finished posting yet, we now have claiming of prompts to contend with! But, unfortunately, both for me and the many prompts I wanted to pounce on, I have a dissertation to write that will be in its finishing stages by the 1st april and thus I don't really have time. However, everyone else should hot foot it over to [info]snape_potter and get claiming before they all disappear!!

Some thoughts and a rec!! [Oct. 6th, 2010|08:35 pm]

[Current Music |Dave TV Channel]

It's been an interesting september and october for me so far. Going back to university for my last year has definitely started to put many different things about my life into perspective. I am well aware exactly how hard this year is going to be work wise and emotionally as not only is there the pressure to achieve well there is the knowing that by July it will all be over and there are people in my lie now how may slowly disappear out of it. I'd like to hope that i will never take for granted the friendships of the people I have met here at uni and those in my home town. I consider myself extremely lucky for all the things I have in my life, especially in the light of recent events in America and the intolerance that is still finding its way to affecting childrens lives. I hope that people will soon no longer have to deal with intolerance of any kind.

On another, slightly less introspective note, I read a Severus/Harry/Draco fic the other day that re-affirmed exactly why they are my OT3. An Eye for an Eye by Arsenic Jade is a thoroughly recommended read, in fact there are too may things to say about how wonderful it is, I just can't quite figure out why I haven't read it before. If you like all the boys just as characters then this is the read for you, if you like the interplay between two slytherins and a gryffindor this is for you, if you like a good plot with wonderful development then this is the read for you, and if you like the thought of these three boys together then (can you see where I'm going?) this is the read for you!!

Go forth and read my darlings and look out for some more recs in the future. Which reminds me...I really need to get cracking on my snarry_swap fic before coursework and dissertation swallow every spare moment.

My BBC Character personality is... [Sep. 14th, 2010|06:14 pm]

[Current Mood | energetic]

Meet your BBC personality...
Congratulations!
Based on what you've told us, if you were a BBC personality, you'd be
40% BBC One's Sherlock
30% David Mitchell from Mitchell & Webb
30% Dalek from Doctor Who
You probably seek your own path through life, and this is reflected in the TV and films you watch. You tend to be loyal - once you’ve found something you love, you stick with it, and watch every episode. Quirky and unusual storylines appeal to you, whether it’s comedy or drama, because you’re an individual.


Not bad, not bad, pleased about Sherlock (as I love him immensely, David Mitchell (could be worse, at least he is intelligent and quite funny), not sure what they are trying to say with the dalek though? Yay for a BBC quiz!!

Ok, so today I read one of the most lovely Harry/Draco drabbles and its sequel. As far as I'm aware I hadn't read any of [info]alaana_fair 's fiction before but I most definitely recommend them highly now.

My rec is for the drabble Twelve Years and the fic sequel Twelve Years Later. There is something so poignant about the relationship between Harry and Draco and everything they go through. I laughed, I cried, I flailed like a good 'un and now I am reccing it to everyone who hasn't read it yet.

Go forth and read my pretties!!

Snarry Swap - introduction and likes post [Aug. 25th, 2010|05:53 pm]
[Tags|, , ]
[Current Location |UK]
[Current Mood | excited]

Ahhhh! Just recieved my Snarry Swap assignment!! I think I may be equal parts excited and scared out of my mind, but I am determined to do my best for myself, my recipient and Snarry itself (ok, self pep talk now over).

In preparation for someone somewhere being given me as a recipient and thinking 'oh my god who is this person? What do they want from me?!' I am going to steal a post from [info]snape_potter to introduce myself and my life within fandom.


Username(s) (LJ, IJ, DW): [info]calpuriel @ IJ and [info]phoenix_of_time @ LJ
General Location: UK
Age Range: 20-25

How long in Snape/Harry Fandom: Snarry has been a vast part of my fandom life, possibly for the last 5 years minumum
Things I do in fandom (reader, writer, artist, vidder, mod, beta, newsletter editor, reccer, lurker, squee-er): Reader, lurker (although this has begun to change), writer (also very new), I plan to become a reccer on both my journals and I'd be quite happy to beta and sqee at people!
favorite Snape/Harry cliche:
Top three (maybe four) favorite Snape/Harry works, links if you've got 'em: Oh god, how hard is this?! Hmm, in no particular order:
- Gifts of the Yuletide by Altaria
- Breathe Series by Lilyseyes
- A Nick in Time/ Growing Pains by Tira Nog
- Coils of Gold by Crymsyn
Snape or Harry?: Snape for his character and overall wonderful-ness (I think I have a weakness for sarcastic, intelligent men) but Harry for being really rather good for Sev.

Other fandom(s): I’ve dabbled in CSI (slash), The Sentinel, Sherlock Holmes is my new obsession and I always have room for some Drarry and Drapery within my life.

Things I like to read about:
Romance, fluff, established relationship, first time, Hogwarts era, post Hogwarts, AU, flangst, shower!sex, desk!sex, in front of the fire!sex, slow!sex, dirty talk (sev to harry), bonding, courting, mpreg (harry pregnant mainly), interchanging positions or bottom!harry, rimming, extended foreplay, sex!toys, snark, jealous!sev, possessive!sev, possessive!harry, slow/shy!harry, powerful!sev, plot, smut, happy ending, hurt/comfort, chan 16+, teacher!harry, other careers, threesome with Draco (each of these things also apply to my Drarry needs)

Anything else you'd like us to know:
I’ve started de-lurking and have begun to write some Drarry and Snarry drabbles but the Snarry Fest is my first proper serious anything and I hope to prove my right to participate. After 7 years of finding a home of sorts within the HP fandom, I figured it was about time I contributed and tried to make some friendships, please don’t be afraid to say ‘hi’. -x-x-

Ok so, when I started uni I thought life would be vastly different and I'd suddenly have more time to do all sorts of things. Subsequently I have been proved wrong, in some cases I have less time than I had before and so this is my reason for not having written for three months. I'd like to promise I'll try harder but it's highly unlikely that I can do that until the summer. But I am enjoying uni, which is one thing.

Take care, love

Ok, so I've moved over from LJ to IJ mostly because everyone I wanted to read has. I'm an avid slash fan but haven't the courage to write anything at the moment so have been a serial lurker for a while and probably will continue to be so. I'm hoping to make some friends whilst on IJ and am determined to comment on people's stories now that I am an IJ member.

much love Lizzy -x-
