it's that time again - the third chapters of the intergalactic quidditch cup have been posted at the petulant poetess. team venus's chapter is here. remember, your reviews earn the team of your choice points in the competition.
in other news, i volunteered to pinch hit in the snupin santa gift exchange. if this person had wanted simple snupin, it would be much easier for me to write. having to integrate a third character into the story is posing a bit of a challenge. i wrote 719 words tonight (net) and i'm making progress, but i still haven't quite gotten it to the point where it makes sense. the deadline is november 30th, which seems far enough away, but i have a house guest coming on tuesday and staying until the following saturday, which cuts into that time quite a bit.
and of course, this story has been taking time away from my lupin big bang piece that i'm supposed to be writing. i was in quite good shape, having already written a big chunk of that particular story, but i'm losing that head start every day i don't work on it.
i'm sure it will all turn out fine in the end. but the looming deadline is making me very nervous, and i really wanted to at least complete a first draft BEFORE my friend arrives; i have roughly 30 hours to make that happen.
last weekend was spent helping my sister celebrate her 60th birthday in las vegas. and this week will be spent with one of my dearest friends.
in other words, life is good, but i really wish the writing would get there faster!

lupin_snape if you want to download it. i don't know if you have to be a member to download it, but if you do, it's totally worth it - more than 100 pages of quality snupin. and i don't just say that because i have a story in it. ;) a story that i wrote for

opaljade ages ago, called Surviving the Night. i'm so happy that the veil of silence is finally lifted and i can TALK about it. and even POST it to other archives at some point. seriously, i've only glanced at it so far, but it looks like a bonanza for the snupin lovers among us - really high quality art as well as stories, so if that includes you, go! (i noticed a pic of pirate snape and lupin, lulabelle!)

My team is awesome, very spirited, and I'm very excited to see what each member will come up with for her chapter. In addition to Lady Tuesday and myself, Venus has (in alphabetical order) astopperindeath, Clairvoyant, Hermione Diggory, kittyperry, and Livvy6.

some of you may recall a while back when i was blocked, i posted an offer to write some drabbles. erm. well, i started this one back then, and then went into a major tailspin and had to put it aside. yes, this is the story that nearly ended my fanfic writing 'career.' so you can imagine how happy i am that it is actually FINISHED and betaed and posted here. the prompt was from
opaljade: snape, lupin, and a flea problem.and if you are someone who also gave me a prompt and are curious as to whether i might ever write yours, the answer is, yes, i very well might. :D

Your result for The Lover Style Profile Test...
The Surprising Lover
59% partner focus, 29% aggressiveness, 75% adventurousness
You prefer your romance and love to wild and daring rather than typical or boring, you would rather be pursued than do the pursuing and, when it comes to physical love, your satisfaction comes more from providing a wonderful time to your partner than simply seeking your own.
This places you in the Lover Style of: The Surprising Lover.
The Surprising Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and, like the name implies, is often filled with hidden delights and talents that might not be apparent from a surface knowledge of the person. The Surprising Lover is rather like a geode--sometimes rough on the exterior, but filled with beauty and wonder. The Surprising Lover is thus a gem to find, though it can sometimes be difficult to do so because they often tend to be humble and unwilling to reveal their inner greatness unless they're in a rewarding relationship.
In terms of physical love, the Surprising Lover really shines, often highly imaginative and utterly devoted to bringing the heights of pleasure to the one that they truly love. Given a rewarding, reciprocative relationship, and the right lover, the Surprising Lover can be a delight in bed.
Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Carnal Lover (most of all) or the Exotic Lover, or the Suave Lover.
Congratulations!
If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in the following:

so last night some of my family met for dinner. my oldest brother arrives and sets a bag not so much next to me on the table as half on my arm. typical brother behavior, right? as his rude behavior is being discussed, he reaches to open the bag, and at the same moment, i recall my sister telling me that he has been making wands, and given the size and shape of the bag - yup. a bag full of wands. and i got first pick. :D

i really wish i'd had my camera with me - i would love to be able to show you more of what he made.

Lupin Big Bang
so, back when i was deciding about signing up for the severus big bang, i recall wishing there was going to be a lupin big bang because "i have an idea that could work for that one." i never came up with anything for severus, you see, and of course, for that one i could have written something a little shorter. but no, the muse was uncooperative. so now here's the lupin big bang, like i had wished for. so i looked at the story i have. it's true, i have a good head start - i've got 10,000 words so far. but - it needs to be at least 20,000 words. *gulp* i've never written anything so long. to do that, i'm going to have to do something drastic. something really unprecedented for me. i'm going to have to come up with ... a PLOT! yes, an actual story to go with my characters and their emotions and the smut. yes, there will be smut. yes, that part's already written.
note to self: never write all the smut first because apparently getting to the smut is my only incentive to write the rest of the story. it seems that once the smut is written, my muse does a happy dance and figures her work is done. ;)
wish me luck! i've added 249 words so far tonight. let's see, only 9,242 words to go.

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So ask me something you want to know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.
