Tales and Musings

the_minx_17 wrote a wonderful post yesterday about bdsm. Her post inspired irana to write a post on consent.

I'd like to add a few thoughts on Polyamory.

My name is sg. I play in an organization that expects its members to behave in a chivalrous manner and show respect to all who attend their events no matter their orientation. As a result of this, I have met folks who practice Polyamory.

( rough draft, subject to change with discussion )

severus_sighs posted their interview with jadzialove, who just happens to be my beta. *squishes her*

I must point you especially to her answer to number #5, "What is it about Severus you find sexy?" because OMG it's a great answer (in under 100 words).

And because I never posted to my personal journal, here's my Daily_Deviant fic from September!

Title: "Full"
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Enemas, much swearing and insulting of vicars
Summary: “Because I want to,” Remus informed him in a low pitch that sent gooseflesh rippling up Sirius' spine. “Because I want to see just how much you can fucking take before you start begging me to stop. Because I want you to feel just what it would be like to have every inch of your arse straining and stretched until it's indistinguishable from your intestines and all you know and all you are is full.”
Author's notes: I think I need to change my username to "nooneelse" so when these particular themes come up everyone will know that "nooneelse" will right them. :P Written for iJ's alisanne after I promised her something fluffy in the wake of July's necro fic!

Fake cut to Daily_Deviant!

"Full"

November's Daily_Deviant fic... I wrote the alternate pairing this month. For some reason no one wants to write Morfin Gaunt. :P

Title: "Alternatives"
Characters: Morfin Gaunt/Quirrell, Voldemort/Quirrell
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Non-con, Morfin Gaunt, Squickiness, slight crackiness? (Did you see the pairings?) castrati
Word Count: 1520
Summary: Quirrell lays in his bed at night, fidgeting. He used to sleep well, find comfort on his back in the softness of down blankets and the firmness of a good pillow and equally supportive mattress. But now he lays awake for hours, unable to deal with his own bony elbow poking into the side he has to lay on or to adjust to the soft pillow he must use now.
Author's notes: I'm sorry. Where was I supposed to go with this pairing? I mean, really? I think writing Morfin Gaunt in a fluffy romance would be far more terrifying than having him in a darker fic. Right? Right? :P

Hey all,

I was wondering if any of you could recommend any good fics where Harry is totally crazy for Severus' feet. Toe sucking, arch-licking, in actuality or just Harry's fantasies (especially if just Harry's fantasies!). Bonus if Harry has to explain this to Severus. I vaguely remember a fic where Harry was wild for barefoot!Severus, but I can't remember anything else. No idea how I'm going to tag this...

Thanks in advance,

Gwen

P.S. what is the difference between a fetish and a kink, and if there is a difference could a fetish tag be added please?

I'm looking for a story in which Snape was characterized to never ask questions, even though Harry wants him too.

Sound familiar?

Mostly greens this time: collards, something that's either chard or beet greens, some greens that I can't identify but are clearly for cooking, green cabbage, a small head of broccoli, and cherry tomatoes. Still have last week's collards and beets, too. So - I found a recipe for beans and greens, cooked white beans w/ the greens then cooked in them, with garlic and olive oil. Should be okay and seems easy, which is a plus. Also going to make herb-baked chicken breasts and Russian potato soup, along with cooked radishes (SO is dubious, but willing to try) and cooked beets for me.

We're having Thanksgiving at our neighbors' (J & C), so I'm not responsible for the turkey, yay! SO is supposed to go over later today and find out what they'd like us to bring; he's already volunteered to bring the butternut squash and apple dish, but probably I'll make at least a couple of other things also. Thus I will not do the grocery shopping until after that's been determined. Sometime this week or maybe next weekend, I plan to make cranberry-nut bread for local gift-giving, too.

In the meantime, back to work on the pathfinder. The library catalog was being uncooperative last night; here's hoping it's working right this morning.

Say, I was just chatting with my friend from Germany, and she has never heard of the so-called "End of the World" that has been predicted to happen on December 21, 2012.

Have any of you heard about it?

If you have, what's your thoughts on it?

If you haven't there's a few websites about it.

Here's one called, funny enough, December 21, 2012. *g*

I've suddenly got a craving for fics where Harry is romantically interested in Severus but Severus does not pick up on the hints dropped (or unintentionally left) his way.

Severus is probably mystified by the looks he might catch from Harry, meanwhile Harry might not want Severus to find out he's got a thing for him. Basically, a resulting drawn out start to their relationship is what I am looking for.

Note: I'm not looking for an inexperienced/virgin!Severus, just fics where he does not realise Harry's attraction to him and/or not realise that he's attracted to Harry. If the story happens to also factor in inexperienced/virgin!Severus, that's fine, but not really what I'm looking for.

Anyway, any fics along this line would be great!

So, today Trina wanted me to share with her some of my favourite music videos from when I was a kid. The first one I thought of was Too Funky by George Michael.

I played it for her and she asked me, then, why it was a favourite. I sat there awkwardly for a while, not quite able to explain it. My favourite was the model in the metal bikini suit thing. Embedding was disallowed. I still love this vid. After, I showed her Jeremy and Black Hole Sun. Then I showed her Schism, which she thought was cool, and Thunderkiss '65, which led to a very short viewing of Beavis and Butthead so she could understand the context in which I first saw the video.

Listening to Too Funky also makes me want to write porn again.



What are you favourite music vids?


Also, I snuck over to fanficrants today for one reason and another and was struck but the plethora of crap. I mean...most of my rants consist of "use the right word, plz" and "get a beta before I spork my eyes" and stuff like that. Though, I don't usually make posts about it. I just think it. REALLY HARD. I get rants about subtle bigotry/misogyny/etc within fics, but for other things, sometimes I just want to say stfu and read something else. I mean...isn't this what google chat is for? Bitching to your friends about stupid shit you've read but are too polite to comment on, and in that fashion, in public?

I've been re-reading iulia_linnea's GSM and it's up to chap. 46 on the site i'm viewing. I was wondering if the fic has been updated since then and if so, where can i find it????

You know what?
I love Galaxy Quest. I love it so much that I got the Blue Ray and I just spent an hour watching it dubbed in Thurmian. O.o
*g*
I think it's time to go to bed.
