Wizard's Porn

I’m fine, don’t worry about me! I’ve had a few emails and reviews asking if I’m OK, I’d like to reassure people that I’m perfectly healthy and all that jazz!



I had to pack up my life-as-I-know-it at uni and come home; and I was rather bemused that my ENTIRE wardrobe (with exception of the knickers, socks and 1 formal frock from the May Ball at uni) fitted into ONE suitcase. ONE. I wasn’t impressed.



After that me and the other half (and I know that’s bad grammar, but I’m in charge, lol – ladies first and stuff like that!) went on holiday where the internet didn’t exist, so that was reading online out of the window. I had withdrawal symptoms!



The next chapter took shape, believe it or not, eight times; and my last re-write would be something Monty Python would be proud of! Seriously, all we needed was for Fawkes to drop dead and for Snape to try and get a refund! (and if you haven’t seen the dead parrot sketch, then the previous line will make no sense.) My little plan for getting L and H to have a conversation after the wedding was a cross between the great escape and Holy Grail!



So, the end of WP is nigh; once I can get past this next chapter... once my muse stops taking the mick... Perhaps my reading of Spike Milligan’s rendition of the Bible’s Old Testament (hilarious BTW) and watching Galaxy quest (LOVE RICKMAN) wasn’t the best plan for inspiration. Throw in the dyslexia and it got a bit ridiculous! Had to laugh, but it wasn’t what I wanted. And to add insult to injury, the home PC’s space bar is on the blink – so lots of wordsendedupstucktogether and I didn’t realise until I looked up!



Thank-you so much for the beautifully positive reviews, you lot have been an inspiration when I got all upset. I’m blaming the stress of the end of uni and oestrogen for getting so cheesed off with the few miserable ones. MAY I TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE ALL THE POSITIVE PEOPLE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ACTUALLY MAKING ME SHED THE ODD TEAR OF HAPPINESS WITH THE WONDERFUL COMMENTS. I’VE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD OF MYSELF AS WHEN I SAW SOME PHRASES ON THE SCREEN! SOME OF THE REVIEWERS ARE VETERANS OF FANFICTION AND HAVE BEEN A REAL BOOST TO ME! AND IT MADE ME SMILE, I WAS STARTING TO LOSE THE ENJOYMENT OF THE FIC AND NOW, IT’S BACK BECAUSE OTHERS ARE TELLING ME THEY ENJOY IT TOO!



I’m taking you’re advice people – and it’s all sunshine from here on out!



Many apologies to the person who wanted emailing, Dara, I’m sorry, but it is the one thing I don’t do as I’ve had a bad experience with a nasty set of replies and I stopped giving out my address. I know I’m tarring all with the same brush, but once bitten twice shy – I was rather upset by that particular person. I don’t even dare to suggest you’d be horrid, but I can’t have 2 sets of rules regarding emailing.



I do have 2 authors email me, I beta and Brit-pick for one and I’m working with another in a transatlantic collaboration on a LM/HG fic that is going to be rather SPECTACULAR – even if we do say so ourselves! But that’s it for emails, I’m afraid. I might be brave and drop you a line and say hi, but I’m rather wary. Sit tight, I might send you a message just to see who you are and have a bit of a natter first.



Who spotted the teeny-weeny Anita Blake reference? (Sorcha, I do believe it was) Yep, I’ll kinda acknowledge that one (I don’t own Anita Blake – and if I did then Richard wouldn’t have been in need of a straight jacket and prozac; Anita would be with JC and ONLY JC; Asher wouldn’t be so fecking miserable and would have quit smoking; Micah wouldn’t be so blooming perfect and he’d have some faults; the fellas wouldn’t ALL be hung like horses; Nathaniel would have had a haircut and a spine; and I think I’d have Narcissus making more appearances coz I love him/her... I could whine about it all blinking day! Those books really went downhill and got repetitive and crazier, in my opinion that is – I never even bought The Harlequin after Danse Macarbe was a bit of a wet fish for me.) I learnt to write slash in ABVH fanfiction – seriously what more could you want with the combination of JC, Asher, silk sheets... well, other than a front row seat, a sponge in your knickers and a dribble-cloth?? And I’m completely off topic here! Lol.



Ah the Dr. Who reference is how H brought L down with rumours. I can’t tell you the series or episode number (my other half could – he loves it!). It was when Hestia Jones [sp???] killed some aliens because she could and the Doctor stopped her being the Prime Minister.



And who’s my avid slash fan who wanted more? I’ve got a really sweet HP/DM in the pipeline, but it’s taking some getting right – and with my muse playing stupid it’s proving to be a long time.



Anything else to mention? I think that’s it. The chapter wouldn't all load on for some reason. Technology isn't my strong point so it was put up in pieces.



SO SORRY, THE ACTUAL CHAPTER TEXT WON'T COME ON WITHOUT MISSING HALF OF IT OFF! TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES ARE PLENTIFUL WITH MY HOME PC - WHICH HAS THROWN A TANTRUM AT ME. I'LL GET THE ACTUAL CHAPTER UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! MANY APOLOGIES!
