Classic wildernessguru quote:

"I hate it when you're depressed, honey, because you're less sexy."

Gosh. I feel... wow.

"Was that the wrong thing to say?" he asked.

"Uh. Yeah, pretty much. I'd say that's about the worst thing you could say right about now," I told him.

"Because I'm not very good at this. I don't mean that you're not sexy, just that you're less sexy than--"

"Honey," I interrupted, feeling desperate. "Stop digging."

"Stop while I'm ahead?" he asked.

Title: Untitled
Artist: Serpenscript
Rating: PG-13 for Crossdressing?
Pairing(s)/character(s): Lupin and Snape
Challenge: Fantasy Fest 08
Prompt: short art prompt - Snape and Lupin in Japan
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters.
Warnings: Heavy reliance on anime images, crossover, cross dressing, shmoopy angst?
Notes:I feel horribly afraid posting this right after ships_harry (her artwork is so smooth and vivid!), but it's almost 5 am - I started this around 9 pm, so it's definitely not a 'short' art prompt anymore - and I want to sleep and if I don't post now I'll forget to later >_< Cookies to anyone (who doesn't frequent chat and so didnt' hear me say so!) who knows what it's a crossover with :)

I did a larger lineart piece, and then colored one portion of it. If someone wants to write something on it, I've a kissing scene I may have to draw and color as well, to go along! *g*

Title: His Favourite Pastime
Artist: ships_harry
Rating: G
Pairing(s)/character(s): Lupin and Snape
Challenge: Fantasy Fest 08
Summary: For the prompt: S in his lab, with warm afternoon sunlight streaming in a dusty window; R is watching from the doorway behind him
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters.
Warnings: Only that I failed on getting the dusty window done and the finish is a bit haphazard :(. There is a window... there is also craaaazy perspective.
Notes: I couldn't resist such a wonderfully visual prompt :). Whoever you are, you grabbed my brain with pointy nails and hung on; I think that even while I was making the short-list of prompts I wanted, I knew I was probably going to pick this one. There aren't as many details in the pic as I wanted, but I ran out of time; I do apologise for that and other flaws. Title is meant to apply to both of them :).

Hello All!

I've had to pull the comments module for the time being...I'm worried about the same security issue affecting that like the forum.

I'm having the website upgraded as we speak...and I'm also hoping to have some kind of a fix for the forum in the (hopefully) not too distant future.

gotta love the lads and ladies of Siteground.com they are really on the ball with this stuff! Love their support...well done, good job!

Just keeping you posted...even if you can't post back!?

Cheers,

D!

I know that there are a number of boards up and running to stand-in for dGeek.com but it might be fun to have the chatter happen on the A Dog's Breakfast IMDB.COM message board for the time being, as it may do wonders for its moviemeter ranking and get it a little more attention.

I had these two stories in mind to rec anyway, but then I thought about it a bit more and decided they should go together, because they have something in common: they are both woefully underappreciated, IMO, judging by the comments on them. (Which isn't the be-all, end-all of fanfic writing, I know, but still, it suggests readership hasn't been giantly huge). I want to point them out because they are both incredibly good stories - bold, non-formulaic, emotionally-charged... just, everything I want a story to be, really. I know: the rarepair-ity and/or warnings still won't be a draw for many of you, but if you're willing to give either of them a shot, I think you'll find it worth your while. :)

( Cut because I got squeeful and rambly )

Not your thing? No problem; scroll on by! Read them and liked? Go ahead and leave an author some feedback today. They will really appreciate it. :)

What's Ron up to?

Hi there!

I search for Dazzleberry's "Happiness Is Where You Find It" (also known as the "Un-Fic"). Either I'm too stupid to handle a search-engine or it really hasn't been updated to the Moonshadow Archive.

I know the fic is to be found on Eros & Sapphos; but it's only the first, not completed version there.

Can someone help?

Much love,
Night


EDIT: Found it! Thanks to xntrick!
