Phew!

I had the best weekend. I did nothing but relax. I actually got to watch a couple of videos, which I never seem to do. One was an old movie called The Garden of Allah with Marlene Dietrich and Charles Boyer. It wasn't the greatest movie ever, but it had some great angsty doomed love, and I think Charles Boyer might be Johhny Depp's secret grandfather ;) He definitely had the soulful brown eyes and vulnerable yet masculine vibe going on.

Speaking of doomed love, I got through The Scene in my Tom/Minerva story!!!!! Hurrah, my first lurve scene and I can actually reread it without my eyes burning. I am actually excited about how this story is going. I hope it gets read at some point :P I need to get the first chapters ready for the Dark Arts section at Fiction Alley, since FF.net isn't really a good place for this story. I think it is now officially NC-17. Woo hoo!

I also made a Strange and Wondrous soundtrack. Tee hee. I love this fic writing stuff. Now I have to sit down and work on a little Blame Someone ficlet for mctabby: I was given a Narcissa/Gilderoy theme preferably involving lots of mirrors. Finally got a good idea to go from today. Man, why do I have to work when there's so much fun stuff to do?

Oh, we watched Manor House on PBS - the latest historical reality show. These are like crack to me. This time it's an Edwardian mansion with the upstairs/downstairs trials and tribulations. They're two episodes in and have already gone through two scullery maids. It's great stuff.

your Minerva/Tom fic rocks. Really, it gives the pairing the usually lacking shade of deep, intense, unavoidable tie between the two of them...

spoil me :)

Eeeep! You've read and liked? How wonderful! The next part is almost done. I am having some extra added beta-ing to get the sexy bits right, and then I just have to finish the day after Christmas events.

I'm so glad you like it!!!!!!!!!!!

the pleasure is all mine- it's very difficult to get Tom/Voldie right as you did.

So...um, wouldya like to do a little beta-ing for me? Not necessarily to catch all the grammar mistakes, but for general feel of the story, character voices, etc. And where did you read it - on Riddlefics? Just curious.

Yes! I would be very, very glad to beta it for you (yum!). And yes, I found it on Riddlefics...
