long and boring and too much coffee

Oh, God... soooooo tired.

went to bed early last night - like asleep by 9:30 pm because I was beat after running around after the kids at a Fall Fair yesterday. Then at 1:00, Eldest is thirsty (damn carnival food!) and the water by the bed is done. At 2:00 (just as i was falling asleep again), he comes in to tell me that he can't sleep, and then again 10 minutes later to tell me his blankets are all twisted and he can't untwist them. So I go 'untwist them' (they really were a mess) and Littlest starts chatting to us like it's the middle of the day -- something about flies on the walls... flies on all the walls every where... -- um. Right. THERE ARE NO FLIES. Go to sleep. (he instantly crashes and starts snoring.)

Do you think I could fall back to sleep after that? Nooooo... so I finally fall back asleep around 4 am. Alarm goes off at 6. *headdesk*

then at 8:00am this morning we have a meeting to discuss (in painful detail) life insurance and wills and trust funds and RESPs and RDSP and Critical Illness insurance. OMG. Kill me NOW. no, wait until i get my affairs in order first.


blah, blah, blah...

Anyway - have had three coffees now and I'm ready to WRITE THE LAST SCENE of my hd_holidays jfgkdlgjdfkljgdfkl!!!!

I'll be hanging out at word_war all day. come join me!



On a final note: Harry/Scorpius! (sorry - I had to get the attention of everyone who scrolled past the boring ass shit above.

I got a PM from soloshootsfirst looking for a Harry/Scorpius that sounds like this:

All I can remember is that Harry was raising Hippogiffs for racing. Harry and Draco became reluctant friends and Harry was involved in Scorpius growing up, a sort of honorary uncle. He gives Scorpius a snake necklace, I believe. Scorpius helps around the hippogriff farm. After much fighting of feelings they finally get together when Scorpius is older, with Draco's permission.

Found: The Living Years by DementorDelta. (it's actually Snape/Harry - with young!Snape)


I can picture bit of the fic in my head, and I'm sure I've read it but it's all jumbled up from having read too damn many fics. Anyone recognise this?

I feel like I'm going to be embarrassed to have forgotten the minute someone links it.

Did I mention how much caffeine I've ingested? HAVE I?

General Call for HP Next Gen Recs

Hey guys! Remember when I asked you to list me your favourite Next Gen Fics of the past 12 months and then I made Next Gen and Next Gen Cross Gen rec lists?

Well that was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in spring of 2009. And I’ve checked the stats and people still use these regularly (I know I do!) But they are massively out of date, right? So let’s do that again.

Using the header below list me your favourite Next Gen Fics since Spring of 2009. I’m not going to go crazy on the dates here – I’m just looking for stuff that is not already on the original rec lists. These recs can be het, slash, femslash or gen. They must contain ONE Next gen character in the main pairing (or as a main character if gen). Duplicates are fine, but they are only added once to the rec list so you might want to consider picking fics not already listed.


The list below will not include Albus/Scorpius recs, only for the sake of keeping the size manageable. The lovely besamislabios is collecting AS/S RECS HERE.


How do I find these old fics to rec?
A few fests to remind you of: hp_nextgen_fest, hd_sas, hp_cross_fest, nextgendarkfest there are also next gen fics in the hp_yule_balls and hp_springsmut... and others that I fail to remember right now.

As well crack_broom’s Next Gen tag and Next Gen Cross Gen tag. snegurochka_lee’s Next Gen Rec Tag is also a fantastic resource.

Here's a header to use for your recs. (please use this format, it will really help in my cutting and pasting later)

Feel free to pimp!

eta: I took out the rec limit, to encourage more recs.
