    lay out two or three good hits tonight
    Dear Sam,

    I am trying to get you laid. It would be easier if you weren't such an angsty motherfucker. Stop being so difficult! It's sex! It's supposed to be fun! No wonder most of the porn I write is about Dean. He rarely gives me this kind of trouble. Why can't you be more like your brother?

    frustratedly,

    me

    PS: Yes, I understand everyone you sleep with dies. I...am not breaking that streak. Um, sorry? I blame canon. Still, though. Sex! You should be less angsty about it!

    ***

    Holy shit, Jane Lynch is doing commercials for X-Box in which she is in character as Sue Sylvester. And they sing "Carry On Wayward Son." And the mother is a fan of Greco-Roman wrestling (i.e., oiled half-naked men getting sweaty together).

    I feel like this is some kind of crazy fannish collision. I am amused.

    More blathering about Star Wars tag wrangling
    Here's my first draft of notes on how I've been wrangling, which is being posted in the internal documentation for Tag Wranglers (and will be kept updated there).

    OMFG.

    Long long long details... )

    I am currently seeking input on how to convey the multifandom concept of "Apprentice (or Student) Dominating Master (or Teacher)" as well as "Master (or Teacher) Dominating Apprentice (or Student)"... because the concept is bigger than Star Wars. :-)

    Title: Troth

    Author: [info]celandineb

    Excerpt:

    It wasn't a wizarding restaurant, nor even a particularly high-class Muggle establishment for that matter. Cheap and mediocre Italian was the cuisine on offer, but the place close by and perfectly adequate for the days when neither of them felt like cooking. Severus confessed to liking the tagliatelle alla bolognese, while Remus was fond of the bread basket placed on every table. The owner's son was the baker, and the bread was always hot, fresh, and delicious.

    Commentary: Bread. Good Italian bread with rosemary - how can you go wrong? And I would totally have Remus's response to Severus, having been fed this bread first. (Well, I would anyhow, but you know what I mean.

    Recipe Project: Cheese and Onion Pie
    Title: Breaking Bread Together

    Author: [info]celandineb

    Excerpt:

    Remus glanced down and realised that he had reached across the table and taken Severus's hand in his enthusiasm. It was warm and bony and he could feel the calluses on Severus's skin before he hastily let go, murmuring an apology. To cover his embarrassment, he took a sip of wine. Severus had already had a bottle open, and it was excellent.

    They changed conversational topics to the less sensitive one of Quidditch as they ate the main course, another dish that Remus had never had and that Severus called a quiche. It was a sort of an egg pie, with bacon and onions and cheese mixed into the egg, and seasoned with subtle herbs as well. Like the rest of the meal, the flavour was simply marvellous, so much so that Remus was unembarrassed about asking for a second slice. Accompanying the quiche were cooked tomatoes, their sweet acidity complementing its richness.

    Severus, not having taken an additional helping, finished eating first, and watched Remus as he ate his last few bites, again with that inscrutable expression on his face. Remus's breath quickened under the heated gaze, and when he laid down his knife and fork, aligning them neatly on his plate, he ran his tongue over his lips to see how Severus would react.

    Commentary: Again, not exactly what Severus cooked, but I don't make real quiches. *g* This onion pie has onions and cheese and tomatoes (although no bacon) so it's kind of a combination of the two dishes mentioned in the story.

    Recipe Project: Russian Potato Soup
    Title: Breaking Bread Together

    Author: [info]celandineb

    Excerpt:

    Remus stood uncertainly in the kitchen doorway, watching Severus bustle around. His movements were deft and sure and altogether he gave off a rather depressing air of competence. Well, he had been first in their class in Potions every year, doubtless earning an Outstanding N.E.W.T., and cooking wasn't perhaps so different from potion making, when you got down to it.

    He didn't like to interrupt Severus's concentration and so he stood silently as Severus worked.

    "You could carry these to the table now, if you would." Severus indicated the several bowls and dishes that were ready, and Remus gladly complied.

    "It all looks marvellous," he complimented Severus as they sat down.

    Severus flushed. "Thank you."

    They began with three oysters on the half shell each, something that Remus had never before eaten, but which to his surprise he found delicious. The starter was followed by a light yellow soup, potato, he thought, but with something else as well, and bits of what he guessed might be mushroom, woody and complex in flavour.

    "This never came out of a tin, did it?" Remus asked, although he was certain in his own mind as to the answer. "Is it difficult? Do you have a recipe?" Not that he himself was much of a cook, but for something like this, he would be willing to put in more effort.

    "My own invention," Severus muttered. "No recipe. Er. How is new your job going?"

    Commentary: The color of this soup is very much what I imagined the soup Severus makes in the fic to have looked like, although there are no mushrooms in this recipe and certainly no aphrodisiac herbs!

    Quickie Mod Post, lots of reminders!

    There is exactly one set of Snape/Lupin offerings in [info]hp_art_tales, and it's mine. Submissions close today (November 29).

    The first point has been awarded in Stuff the Stockings! Remember, you have to go back to the main post and leave a link if you've been advertising [info]snupin_santa for the contest. Don't forget, there are fabulous prizes at stake, including your own copy of Chocolate & Asphodel, v. 2. (While you're waiting for the exchange to start, you might consider perusing C&A2 and offering some comments to the contributors)

    The Recipe Challenge is drawing to a close. November 30 is the last day for posts on the community. After that, it will be up to [info]drusillas_rain's discretion if she'll accept e-mailed entries as she works on compiling the book.

    Be sure to read over McKay's "Coming Soon" post for Snupin_Santa. There's lots of good information there, especially if you plan on participating in Stuff the Stockings.

    There are some new holiday icons here from [info]whitestar, but artists, we're still looking for more. In fact, Whitestar has offered to add her iconing touch to any art I can send her, so consider submitting some art soon if you want to see it receive the delux icon treatment. ~_^

    If you're involved in the Print Calendar project, your art is due December 15, don't forget in all the holiday madness!

    Speaking of calendars, I'm going to go ahead and remind you to switch to December's desktop calendar now. The art is by the very fun, very talented [info]tripperfunster, and it should be very useful in such a busy month!



    Finally, I want to thank all of the members here for being such great, generous participants in the community. There's been lots of searches and requests lately, and I'm seeing many new and different members speaking up to help out or volunteer. I'll never stop saying this - you are the reason this community continues to be a warm and friendly place for Lupin/Snape fans, and you're each wonderful and invaluable. Thank you all!

    LJ-only users, please forgive me for not making a post with LJ links, but I promise you that all the posts linked here have a LJ equivalent post. I'm just super-rushed because company is on my doorstep!

    [info]snupin_santa in less than two days! EEEE!

    Smallville Slash Archive status, WhitFic Archive status
    Another perspective on the saga of the SSA: http://enderwiggin24.livejournal.com/133864.html

    Short version: Yes, the archive contents will be sheltering at AO3 at some point. Now that the archivists-in-absentia problem has been dealt with, that work can begin to proceed.

    <3

    Also, Minotaurs was the sole-archivist for the WhitFic Archive (also Smallville-related, but separate from the SSA), and I'm connecting his Dad with the AO3 (which I expect to proceed very smoothly), so that archive will be sheltering at AO3 at some point as well.

    (Yes, Minotaurs' server is still functional and DNS is still working in the meanwhile, for his fannish and nonfannish customers.)

    Uh-oh.

    My requestee for [info] sga_santa requested a rarepair which I couldn't resist.

    And it's ending up with a totally different rarepair in the final scene. Shit.

    Any volunteers for a beta? I've been chopping at this fic rather ruthlessly trying to solve quite a few problems.

    who got the will and the way
    Writing is hard.

    So I updated [info - personal] unfitforsociety instead, with 15 recs for November 2009:

    * 3 Supernatural
    * 3 crossovers
    * 2 White Collar
    * 2 Harry Potter
    * 2 Star Trek Reboot
    * 1 each Big Bang Theory, Dark Angel, and Psych

    ***

    Every time I listen to the Black Keys, I wonder why they haven't been used on SPN yet (if they were, I missed it). Dean could shock Sam by listening to something that was produced after 1979, but that still sounds like it came from the early '70s. Heh.

    Update
    Takes the Cake by Arionrhod and McKay has been updated with another chapter. It's up to ~32,000 words. Non-magical AU, rated R.

    Note: I realize this story is being updated more slowly than our collaborations usually are. It is finished, but I'm the one who does the editing and posting of our collaborations, and I'm not withholding it on purpose to make people wait for more; I'm editing and updating as I can after being body-slammed by the usual end-of-semester grading madness plus an unexpected RL event that has eaten up what little free time I have at present.

    I promise I will get the remainder edited and posted as soon as I can. However, I'd appreciate understanding and patience, rather than pointed comments about withholding feedback/ratings/whatever because it isn't finished.

    Thanks very much!

    Looking for fiction
    May I ask if anyone has on file the story "Revelations" by Adrienne? It is the third part of her (unfinished) trilogy, "Perdition", "Redemption" and "Revelations", one of the best early Snupins I've ever read, in spite of the depressing themes it addresses (incest and child abuse). I thought I had saved it, but have recently discovered that in last year's computer crash, it has been lost.

    Challenge #310: "The Unwritten Pairing"
    (Remember: drabble posts now appear on livejournal and insanejournal and dreamwidth)

    Challenge #310: "The Unwritten Pairing" This week's challenge might be a bit of a stretch in that you're being asked to write a drabble focusing on Snape paired romantically and/or sexually (but not necessarily graphically) with a character with whom you've never paired him before. (Note: for the fight-to-the-death OTP folks in the community, feel free to tell your drabble from the perspective of the "delusional" imagination of the other party. *g*)

    The uploading continues apace. I am almost ready to stop for the evening and maybe try to write. Or something. I miss writing. It's been days since I did any. Sigh.

    I was uploading a lot of the codas I wrote in season 2, when I was still in the first flush of fandom love, and wow, season 2 was good for codas. I think I wrote at least one (sometimes more than one) for almost every episode. I miss that, too.

    *

    Tonight for dinner I made a roast loin of pork. It was very tasty. I combined garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and basil in about a tablespoon of olive oil (for easy spreading), along with a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar and a large splash of vanilla (for years, I wouldn't tell my mother about the brown sugar and vanilla, and she couldn't replicate the taste. Heh.). Rub that on, top with a few pats of butter, and then cook until the internal temperature is 160°F. It was very tasty and juicy and good.

    Don't eat while reading this. Eeesh.
    By the way, hearkening back to my earlier post--this doesn't spoil anything, since you can see on the Yuletide list of requested fandoms that no one asked for it--I did not get assigned to write for Richard Adams's The Plague Dogs. I decided, when I accidentally included it in the list, that rather than redo my list I'd just go read the book once and for all, even before the assignments came out, so I got it from the library.

    I got through Ulysses easier than this. This is...guys, I have written some interesting metaphors myself in my time, some of them admittedly more purple than should be seen outside of crackfic, but this takes them all:

    ...Rowf's rump slid suddenly forward as smoothly as a turd from a healthy anus...

    I can't even facepalm. It's too squicky.
