Excuse the non-Teddy-ness. :) I just felt like writing some Potterlets. For the heck of it. I know I once named James's friends, but I can't for the life of me figure out where, so they're getting renamed here. Less a story than just a little vignette. (Sorry about that momentary lack of cut, if it happened to be the moment you were looking at your f-list. Dumb typos in tags!)

Hmm. Still blocked on opening Safe. I know that once I get the opening right, everything else will start working, even the end, except that I'm starting to think I might have to write the last couple of chapters first to get to the beginning. But in the meantime, Teddy has yet to let me down (bless him), so I thought a Teddy story would be fun. Maybe I'll do another long one if another of his Hogwarts years occurs to me (nothing's particularly coming to mind just now), but there is one more thing I know he has to do, if I'm going to square with JKR re: a certain mischievous magical item. ;p

I have sincere and complete writer's block. I've tried working on Safe, I've tried original, I've even futzed around in other fandoms. Can't get anything togeter.

So, in typical form, I'm going to lean on you guys to get me going.

Challenge call. Since I'm trying most to get going on Safe, I'm going to keep it to HP. I'll keep it open for anything that goes up for the next two hours. My little computer clock says 12:08 now; I'll take anything that comes in before it says 2:08. (ETA: I'm on Mountain Time now, so I'm two hours behind the east coast.)

ETA2: It's now 2:18 by my clock. I'll get the ones that are here!

ETA3: Writer's block makes me slower. :) I'm hanging it up for tonight, and will get back to work tomorrow.

Well, after the challenge call last month, a few people asked for some James/Ruthless. The problem with these two is that they're both sarcastic and unserious, and firmly resist any attempt at giving them an epic love story. So instead of trying to make up a falling-in-love moment, I figured I'd just write them as I see them. I don't think Harlequin is going to call me in for their reserve writing team any time soon, I'm afraid. ;p

Well, I haven't seen a lot of questions going to JKR about Minerva McGonagall or Alphard Black, so I thought it would be good to play with this story that I found in my notes.

Chapter 5 of Teddy ("Teacher's Pet") is up at SQ. Some grammar clean-up, a clarification of why the famous witches and wizards coloring book has no pictures of Remus and Tonks, and... something else, which I'm blanking on. An "until" is missing in a place where I put in a beta recommended edit--which was therefore a post-beta addition--but I've sent in a correction on it. :eyeroll:

I've really gotten addicted to writing every day. I felt very out-of-sorts not having anything yesterday! And sadly, the reason I didn't write something anyway was less because it was Yom Kippur at sunset--I could have rushed something, like I did on Rosh Hashanah--than because I didn't want to look so weirdly obsessed with daily writing. Also, because I couldn't decide what to do next, and didn't feel like committing to anything that would take long.

So what to do when I really feel like writing but don't feel like committing? Challenge call! ;p

I know a few people are new since I last did this, so the essence is, you ask me to write it in the comments, I write it in a reply. Just short stuff, drabbles or marginally longer. I try to stay compliant with other things I've written as well as with canon, though I've been known to joss myself. This time, since my head is still in Teddy-land, I'm going to limit it to HP next gen (canon characters or mine), or, if you'd rather, "excerpts" from Andromeda's book, Noble and Most Ancient--ad libbing the Black Family history. Because I'm bored.

:headdesk:

Fire away!
