cluegirl:
I had my last evaluation interview today, wherein the SACVAP volunteer coordinator went over my case studies with me. At the end of which, she gave me my ER escort paperwork, we shook hands, and I added my name to the January on-call list in three places. I don't have the piece of paper yet, but I think I'm prepared to call it official --

I am now a Sexual Assault and Crive Victim's Advocate for the State of New York.

Go me!

Kristmas Wish Fulfilled for: shellydkitty
From: A Majestic Member!

Title: Most of what is good dies fast
Characters/Pairings: Sirius/Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Kinks/Themes Included: Crossdressing, implied spanking, implied striptease(ish)
Other Warnings: Small, easy-to-miss tattooage/piercings! Mild cousincest! Mysteriously alive Sirius! Improbably high heels! A sex-god!Sirius sandwich! Harry's collarbones! No chan, though.
Artist's Notes: Deviant #62, I tried to incorporate as many of your kinks as possible -- say, have one of them sit alone in a shady corner while voyeuristically masturbating to the post-striptease crossdressed roleplay spank fucking -- but all of the boys wanted to jump in on the action and I was nigh powerless to prevent them. Hope you enjoy this anyway! It was loads of fun to draw. Contrary to whatever the title may imply, this piece contains absolutely zero character death. Photo reference used. :)

Rating: PG
Warnings/Content Info: highlight between brackets if you prefer story warnings:
[None]
Summary: Horace Slughorn has quite looked forward to the Special Christmas Edition of the Daily Prophet. And it doesn't disappoint: a two-page spread on what really happened at Hogwarts' the year Snape was Headmaster.
Disclaimer: The world of HP and its characters belongs to Rowling. The author of this fic has borrowed them for the purposes of storytelling. No profit was or will be made.

You asked for Snape is Headmaster. Horace Slughorn figures out which side he's on and manages to provide some form of invaluable assistance. (Another staff member would also be nice. More Hogwarts staff fic, more!) A dream of a prompt. I hope I did it justice. Have a lovely, snapely Christmas!

ptyx:

I have already covered all the cases where the use of comma in English differs from that in Portuguese. Well, there are some cases where everything is different, like the way you English speakers write dates. It's so different that there's no way to compare or mix up.

Because we're approaching the holidays, I'm going to discontinue the posts on punctuation until next year, when I plan to discuss semicolons, dashes, ellipses, and so on.

Thanks for all your comments! I've been learning a lot. I wish I could have concentrated the discussion in one journal, instead of splitting it among four journals, but alas, it's hard to please everyone. (Some people don't like being redirected to other journals.)

[ETA: No, I'm not leaving! I'm just discontinuing this specific thread for now.]

No real theme today, just more stuff that Dusty likes. Including my favorite movie poster of all times. I've never seen the movie, but I can't stop staring at the poster... By the way, you can click through to my scrapbook to see a larger sized version. I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

Enjoy

(because they are For Me, and they are Awesome)

Veiled Science (Sirius/Teddy/Victoire, NC-17, warnings): (Okay, this is hard. I want to flail and glee and grin all over the place, but I also don't want to give away any spoilers ... ack! Bear with me, please!) This is a Really Smart Fic that is (maybe at First Glance) a plot-what-plot fic, but even the most cursory reading of it will make you think Deep Thinky Thoughts about life and death and the afterworld and What-Exactly-Is-Behind-That-Veil-Anyway. And one of those Really Smart Fics that do an amazing job of characterization via seeming plot-what-plot, and the characterization is amazing.

Also, it is Really Hot. Did you see me mention the plot-what-plot bit? Like I said, it is not exactly that, but there is a lot of Things What Maybe Should Be Happening In Bed (or not in bed, as the case may be. But if there was a bed, that would be okay, too.) Really Hot, all right? So mind the warnings, since there are some, and maybe you shouldn't read this if you don't like the warnings (although, you know, it is meant to be Kinky Kristmas, right? So maybe you will like this, Dear Reader! Because - like I said - it is Awesome.)

Persuasion (Pike/Spock, R): Okay, so there are Many Excellent Reasons why you might think of a Jane Austen novel upon reading the title of this fic. (I mean, there are ships and starships, and the title is the same, and all that...) But fortunately, Spock is not A Very Persuadable Silly Girl, the way Anne rather was, and he doesn't let anyone muck up his life for seven years. Because that would be Quite Tragic, and we would have missed out on all the Wonderfulness that happens in this fic.

This is like, perfect Spock. He's clearly alien - and watching Chris figure that out is delightful - and trying to understand human customs, and through it all, he's beautifully characterized. And he and Chris are perfect, the way they come together in this. This is My Sort Of Romance, really, because it is not-too-sappy and not-too-sad, and passes all the other tests that Goldilocks would go through before determining that it is Just Right For Her. (Although ... really, Goldilocks? Too hot? I'm not sure there is such a thing...)

Go! Read! Make the holidays merry and read a lovely story ... and make the authors happy by leaving them a comment! :D
