 The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else, and this is a feeling that I have always cultivated. ~ Oscar Wilde | ||||||

| Imho. Or what do you say, which version of With a Little Help From My Friends do you like better? To me, there's really no comparison. The Beatles wrote the song, but Cocker's interpretation pwns them big time. His voice, his pacing, everything. Joe Cocker: | ||||||||||

More precisely: I already have an extension for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} snupin_santa - the real deadline is today, and mine is on November 22nd. I have the plot in my head, but haven't even started writing. Oh wait, that's not true, I have! One word.Next week won't be a busy week. I have two appointments for acupuncture, one with my GP to have him look at the cut, but no presentations, no huge pile of texts to read, no social obligations nothing. There'll be moonystone's birthday party on Saturday, but that falls under pleasure, not obligation. Sounds like perfect writing conditions.Only that now, since I decided to stop cutting, I'm obsessing over it like I haven't in years. I know this is "normal", but it's absolutely unnerving me. I've slept a lot and let Hannah entertain herself this weekend, and this evening, I've already taken my normal dose of meds. Now I'll watch some youtube documentary and then see if I can write. The fic is all there, it can't be that hard to get it out on the virtual paper, and I know it's a good fic too. I can do it. Or maybe I should just drop out and disappoint the mods and more important: myself. And rule out the possibility to participate next year too :( Drop-outs can't participate the next time. I shouldn't place so much importance on fanfic writing, even if it's for an exchange. Which of these is the better option: me spending a calm, relaxed week without any breakdown, or me writing a nice exchange fic while feeling horrible and close to exploding all of the time? The reasonable part of me asks why I even have to ask such a silly question. The perfectionist insist I just suck it up and start writing, and the fic better be damn good or else. The "or else" meaning "Or else you're a failure. Hah! I told you so!" I definitely need psychotherapy, and I hope it won't take too many months until I finally get it. | ||||||||||

| Because hp_darkfest is amazing: Title: Nulla fides nisi sui Artist: ??? Characters: Lucius, Draco Summary: In defeat, a Malfoy is still never anything less than dangerous. Rating: PG Warnings: Violence Artist's notes: 'Nulla fides nisi sui' translates as 'No faith if not in one's self/one's own. I particularly like the conflation of the individual and the family. The idea is that the motto is the family's rebuttle to the brand of 'Bad Faith'. They keep faith with no one but themselves. This is something Lucius forgot and has cause to regret. Why I like this: Four words: "Utter beauty and perfection". Look for yourselves. | ||||||||||

| Unbelievable, but true - we do know. The question alone is so bizarre. How could we possibly not know, wit being told about it quite regularly? The experience described is, as the author says, not unique. I've been told I was fat I don't know how many times, in more polite and more impolite terms. I've been asked if I knew I was fat when I went to doctors for completely unrelated issues, and immediately handed a diet plan without even being asked if I wanted to lose weight. I've been called "FAT PIG!" by cowards who yelled it from a distance without me even being able to see them properly. People commented on my food choices. Men commented on how they'd take pity on me and fuck me, and how that would be the fattie's lucky day. Or on how I was cute, but, "well, you know..." = "too fat to be interesting". And I buy my clothes in the fat section of shops, or in shops for fat people. Putting labels saying "Big is Beautiful" in the clothes doesn't change that it means "clothes for fat people". Now that there finally are more clothes that don't look too hideous, that is. I won't even mention that they're more expensive than "normal" clothes. "YOU ARE FAT!" is a message we receive nearly every day, so we fat people indeed know we're fat. We couldn't possibly miss it. No, really. | ||||||||||

| One more hp_darkfest rec! Title: Lessons in Power Author: ??? Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Draco/Hermione, implied Lucius/Draco Summary: Hermione is caught snooping about Malfoy Manor. Lucius uses the opportunity to give Draco an important lesson. Warnings: AU that deviates off HBP, non-con, implied incest Word Count: 2,800 Why I like this: It's disgusting and somehow hot at the same time, and I can't decide whom I feel more sorry for in this fic: Draco or Hermione. They're both suffering, but it's told through Draco's eyes, and while he is by no means an innocent here, that makes you understand his actions and feel for him. And there is a deliciously twisted Lucius. | ||||||||||

| Another hp_darkfest rec ^^ Title: Nothing Will Happen Author: ??? Rating: PG-13 Word count: 1033 Character: Tom Riddle, Sr. Warnings/Spoilers (Highlight to read): *Canonical character death* Summary: This is your dishonourable disaster, in the shape of a fairy tale come true. Why I like this: Nobody writes much about Tom Riddle Sr., and so I initially found this story interesting for that reason alone. But it's also very well witten. It summarises fifteen desolate years in just a few powerful words, and then there is the tragic end. | ||||||||||

| Title: His Father's Son Author: ??? Rating: NC-17 Word count: ~7,200 Pairing(s): Scorpius/Albus Severus, Draco/Astoria (implied) Warnings/Spoilers (Highlight to read): Paradoxes and blatant disregard for the space time continuum… oh wait, that's Star Trek. Character death. Sixteen year olds having consensual sex. Angst. Summary: Scorpius Malfoy tries to find his own way in the world. Why I like this: Because it's beautiful and incredibly sad, and I had tears in my eyes when I was finished reading - and that is something that rarely ever happens. Don't foret to pay attention to details here; they're important and wonderfully done to build up to the finale. | ||||||||||

| For moonystone Fandom: The Devil Wears Prada Title: Addiction Rating: G Word count: 100 Character: Nigel Disclaimer: I don't own The Devil Wears Prada; no money is being made. Prompt: "Nigel, Andy, soup, clothes, shoes" “Curse you, Andy!” Nigel stared down at the cheddar soup with a sigh of despair. Why, oh, why had he let her convince him to try the vile, calorie-loaded goo she slurped down each noon? He’d been addicted immediately. Every night, he’d try a new recipe, and every night, he’d alternately love and hate Andy for introducing him to this guilty pleasure. If it went on like this, he would have to go up one size soon, and Miranda would undoubtedly notice. At least, he tried to comfort himself, he would never become too fat for his 267 pairs of shoes. | ||||||||||

| SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!! The art for my prompt in this year's HD Artfest over at hd_fanart was posted today, and it's wonderful. Their faces are so expressive, the little details are lovely, and it's just like I hoped it would be. I'm so happy that it's a "comic" and not a single picture - more to love ♥ Title: An Offer Artist: ??? Rating: G Look at the prettiness HERE! | ||||||||||

| I've got a new band love: Battlelore. All their lyrics are inspired by Tolkien, isn't that fantastic? Now listen to this song, Sons of Riddermark. I love the Rohirrim, and this song (esp. together with the pictures from the movies) is pure pathos. And I admit I have a very soft spot for Bernard Hill yelling "Now ride for ruin and a read dawn!" and "Death!" in front of a crowd of riders glittering in the morning sun, and generally being a long-haired elderly warrior King. (Although I don't like that the vieo maker included scenes from the Gondorians riding to and from Minas Tirith. Not everyone sitting on a horse is from Rohan...) | ||||||||||

| Damn, why didn't I pay attention to hd_career_fair over at LJ earlier, then I could have handed in a prompt as well. Now I have my perfect prompt: Era: EWE Three additions: Glitter tie, lipstick, treehugging. Scenario/ unusual career(s): Draco is a mediocre singer performing songs like Michael Jackson's Heal the World and Earth Song, and meaning it. Harry is his new manager who's trying to convince him that he'll only be successful with badass texts. Why, oh why? | ||||||||||

| Title: Danse Macabre Artist: ??? Rating: PG Pairing: Harry/Draco Summary: After years of fighting at Hogwarts, hints of romance can be found beneath the shadows. Harry's marriage with Ginny has not succeeded and he decides to finally follow his heart and seek Draco. He finds him playing Danse Macabre and hears the answer he is looking for in the music. Why I like this: I don't even know what to say except. "It's so beautiful." The colours and style, and their faces...it all displays emotions so very clearly and yet so quietly. It's perfect. .-.-.-.-. Title: The Homestead Author: ??? Rating: R Pairing: Harry/Draco Summary: Draco Malfoy is a nurse in an old folks’ home, and he’s driving Harry crazy. A tale of growing up, and seafront walks, and unexpected happiness. Warnings: A little bit of language, and a lot of crazy old people :) Word Count: ~5,500 Why I like this: All I can come up with is that this fic is simply lovely. It's touching, calm, sweet - though also a bit sad at some point - and made me smile, and the narrator's voice gave me this comforting feeling that never left from beginning to end. Draco is amazing here - I can absolutely see him like this, although he's not at all like we know him from the books. It's my favourite so far, and it's fics like this one that make it totally worth it to participate in fests. | ||||||||||

| Title: The Costume Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 100 Pairing: Percy Weasley/Severus Snape Prompt: "Pirates" & "Percy Weasley" Severus stares at Percy incredulously. “Have you gone completely insane?” The young man is dressed up in what seems to be a pirate costume, complete with an eye-patch, sword, and a ridiculous feathered hat. “Ye said ye wanted ter try something different,” he says with a horrible accent, most likely produced by a spell. “I know, but this –” “Strip for yer captain,” Percy interrupts, “or I’ll have to flog ye!” With a flick of his wand, he conjures a rod. “I might have ter do it anyway.” Severus swallows hard. “Is that a promise?” Percy smiles. “Indeed it is.” | ||||||||||

| I'm wary of fests in general, and not only because I'm horrible at sticking to deadlines. If you know me, you know about the problems I have with reading other people's fic, especially when I write the same pairing, and so actually participating in a fest and doing both, writing and reading, is difficult and somewhat of a dare (as silly as that may sound). But for now, it's going just fine, and I'm so happy about it :) Just like with Snupin Santa last year, I avoid the dark/sad/too emotional fics and stick to the humour fics and those that have a generally lighter tone - and there are some really nice ones after just a few days of posting. I'll do some reccing in a few days, when there are yet some more; just this much for now: I'd never have imagined seeing Draco sell candy floss and actually believing it! :D | ||||||||||
