Chapter eight of Valet of Anize is up! Orphans, meteorites, and mine mysteries abound. You can find it here. Feedback welcome, as always!
btw, someone -- god, I've lost track of who, if it was you please tell me so I can credit you -- linked me to an article about organogenesis, which seems to imply that Carry's nuskin bandage may not be far off in our future.
Fascinating stuff, though I can't avoid thinking of it as wearing foreskins.

Dear Flist,
I need help! I plan on writing a grand and glorious teacher!au fic for Merlin. My question is this: what is the hierarchy in the school staff in public education in the UK?
For example in public education in the US we have: support staff, special education, general education teachers, vice principal, principal, superintendent and other administrators, school board and upward into the state and national government.
I have attempted Googlefu to no good results.
Anyone know?
Lots of love,
Me

Sunday Meanderings
In the form of a list!
- Deadline to sign up for a holiday card from me is December 7 -- that's when the art supply place claims it will deliver my blank cards, heh.
- I launched my fine art site and totally forgot to tell y'all -- Antemortem Arts is open, and I've even put stuff in my Etsy shop.
- I have exactly 3 pieces of fan art left to do, and then those commitments are fulfilled. Since they're all due for Xmas (2 HP Holiday Card Exchange cards, and my own HP Xmas card), I'll be all done by the end of the year. Weird!
- I found betas for
![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) accioslash's LLM fic, and it will be posting in ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) santas_lap along with the Sirius/Neville I still have to finish, oops.
- I've been making some quiet writing progress on various things, including a certain person's incredibly belated prize fic (one more scene and it's done!), a chapter of the no-longer-New Thing that I probably ought to post to swtalmnd_nano, and little dribs and drabs to my other three WiPs that aren't for any fest or person or anything.
- Coconut Cocoa Tea ftw.

We've discussed what SSC, RACK and consent means. Today we're going to look at some other terms – negotiation, limits, contracts - break those down, and hopefully provide those reading with a better understanding of what those terms mean. ( Let's talk about Negotiation first. )

MY MUM SENT ME PEAPOD.
She is the best mother I have! :D
Sourdough bread, olive oil, apples, a GIGANTIC TURKEY BREAST, my favourite hibiscus tea, stuffing, dalmatia fig spread (omg nom), two small pumpkins, and cookies.
Guys, I'm going to brine the hell out of that turkey breast. I can buy the cooler tomorrow and put the turkey in on Wednesday and cook it on Thursday. And then eat leftover turkey for the REST OF MY LIFE. I can even make apple-onion stuffing!
Also, I love the Jamaica Tease Co. Hibiscus Tea, but I find them very weird. The "Jamaica Tease" phrase is branded everywhere on the bottle, but if you read the label or go to the website they are very proud of the fact that they use only the finest Mexican hibiscus tea.
Maybe they get it from, you know, Jamaican Mexico? Like the Dutch East Indies.
The pot from Jamaican Mexico must be amazing.

My leg feels better this morning! And miraculously I am not hung over from last night. (Uh, Jean, I totally meant to email you but then I fell asleep. :/ )
So I just made the MOST DELICIOUS OMELETTE EVER.
Here's how you do it:
Fry some bacon and set the bacon aside. (This is the traditional start of every southern recipe ever.)
Into the bacon fat put chopped up leftover french fries and onion straws (like onion rings, only not rings) from last night's meal.
Fry until crispy!
Add two beaten eggs. Cook. Flip! Sprinkle with cheese and then cook some more.
Consider briefly photographing it for your blog before being so enticed by the omelette that you go NOM NOM NOM instead. With bacon.
The recipes tag on this post is very much in airquotes. "Recipes".

I'm busy, busy, busy, trying to finish working on a piece, but I just wanted y'all to see how much the Impertinent Daughter's artwork has improved.
She's come to the attention of the art teacher at her junior high, who has encouraged her to participate in this year's art UIL. And that, in turn, has encouraged her to sign up to take art in high school. Of course, you know I'm incredibly proud!

Looking for a fic...
http://community.livejournal.com/snarryficfind/1441956.html I know I have this one but I just can't seem to find it! In the fic Draco and some other Slytherin boys have kidnapped Harry for Severus to have fun with. I remember the entire story is told through two letters. One written to Severus from Draco and one from Severus to Draco. It's a NC-17/kink story. Any ideas? Thanks!

Strange request, too long to explain in a title XD
http://community.livejournal.com/snarryficfind/1441543.html Recently I finished reading A Year Like No Other, and have found I really adore scenes where Snape must torture or abuse Harry in his guise as a death eater. Whether Harry grows to trust or love him before or after doesn't matter, but I like it best where Snape abhors what he's doing and struggles with hiding guilt/emotion. Slash or gen is fine, nor am I fussed on the type of abuse or torture. Can you rec me some more like this??

Searching for Specific Mpreg
http://community.livejournal.com/snarryficfind/1441318.html Hey, new here! Thought I'd ask you guys for help finding a specific mpreg I read a looong time ago. The set up is: Hogwarts years. Harry and Snape spent the summer together and got close. But once they returned to school, Snape pushed Harry, even though they both had feelings for each other. I can't remember much of the middle, just that Harry continually tries to get back together with Snape. Draco is on Harry's side with this. Snape ends up marrying a woman. And Harry, desperate to keep some part of Severus, starts planning a way to get pregnant and carry Severus' child in secret (with special complicated potions). He even uses Severus' wife for help, claiming that it's for Sirius and Remus. He and Severus have a tryst in a shed around Christmas time. Harry carries the child in secret, getting a special waist band thing that's covered in protective runes, and it hides the belly. He manages to hide it. He has the child in secret with house elf help. Remus and Sirius find out and agree to pretend it's theirs. Then Harry ends up getting separated from the baby and put into a secluded training hall. And that's as far as it got when I was reading it. I don't know if it's abandoned, completed or still a wip. Ringing any bells? Thanks in advance!

Sam: Wait, who is 'this guy'? Like, a guy at a department store? Or, ahahaha, some guy on the street?
R: YOU LAUGH BUT HE SOLD ME SOME GREAT SHOES.
Sam: You bought shoes from a random dude on the street?
R: And they are the finest footwear I have ever acquired. So, it was two in the morning, right --

LOOK AT MY NEW JOURNAL HEADER ARTWORK! JUST LOOK AT IT! IT WAS DONE BY THE INCOMPARABLE MASTEROFMERCURY AND IT IS THE MOST AWESOMEST THING EVER EVER EVER! I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO USE IT AND TONIGHT I ASKED IF I COULD AND SHE SAID YES AND I AM HAPPY CONCEPT, HAPPY, HAPPY CONCEPT!
It is so awesome, in fact, that when she gave me permission to use it I promptly flailed and knocked over my tequila--three times.
I'm so happy it's not even funny. It's even better than seeing a house I liked. For serious. That says something about my priorities, but what the hell. It's so pretty it could even go with For a Reasonable Fee or Comes at a Cost.

Romantic comedies?
http://community.livejournal.com/snarryficfind/1441235.html Hi all! This is a general search for any romantic-comedy snarries -- a little romance, a little misunderstanding, happy ending.Not entirely out of character for either Severus or Harry. I don't really have any squicks, so pretty much anything is fine. I'm just looking for something upbeat, and ideally between 10 and 15 thousand words.
Completed fics only, please. Also, if anyone has stories that fit that are not on the main snarry archives/lists that would be great (though I'll be happy for anything)
As examples, two that I really like in this category are:Along the lines of "Bottom's Up" and "The Idiot's Guide to Courtship"
Thank you!

It's over now the music of the night...
http://community.livejournal.com/snarryficfind/1440937.html My second request in 4 days. Sorry! It's over now the music of the nightSo a good while ago I read a fic wherein the various houses put on musicals and Harry, Severus, Hermione and a bunch of others got involved in Phantom of the Opera. It was beautiful, heart wrenching story and in fact almost made me cry. Anyways, I can't remember its title or where I read it so that's my first request...
Does anyone have a link to this fic? First request was solved by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) yarrowandthyme
Havoc of the Opera by Romanhttp://www.hpfandom.net/eff/viewstory.php?sid=805&i=1Now, that leads me to my next question. Are there any other slash Snarry fics in which musicals are used in this way? And by that I mean in which Severus (or Harry) quote musicals or are involved in performing a musical? I just loved that scene so much so I'm wondering if there are other fics out there like that one. Also, does anyone know if there's a sequel to that fic? Thanks for any and all help. :) -Leander p.s. no clue what to tag this, also there's no musical!fic tag

Either my flex spending account thinks I'm trying to rip them off, or they're trying to rip me off.
Maybe they think no one person can sustain this much injury in a year. It's baffling sometimes, truly.
For those of you outside the States -- health insurance, which I pay for every month, pays 80% of all my doctor bills. I have to pay the other 20%. To make up the difference, my company offers a "flex card" which is a credit card where a fixed amount is taken out of your paycheck pre-taxes and put on the card to pay for medical expenses. You tell them yearly how much money you want on the card, and they take a little each month to make up that amount, even though you get all that money on the card immediately.
Yes. Welcome to the reason we long for socialised medicine.
Anyway, I carry $600 on my flex spending account, which I've been using to pay for medical treatment for a broken leg, chiropractic adjustments, a sinus infection, and various over-the-counter painkillers and band-aids and such.
Every month, now, my flex card kicks a letter out to me saying JUSTIFY YOUR EXPENDITURES, SEND US RECIEPTS. It's not supposed to do this; the only time this is supposed to happen is if it's something hinkey, like you bought a Nintendo on your flex account or something.
Instead, my letter has WHAT ABOUT THIS BILL FROM NORTHWESTERN MEDICAL CENTER printed on the request. What the fuck do they think I'm buying at a MEDICAL CENTER if not MEDICAL TREATMENT? Prostitutes? Can I get those at a hospital? Maybe they think my theraputic massages for the left arm I CAN'T MOVE have a happy ending or something.
Relatedly, I decided to go for a walk today and now I can't put any weight on my left leg. I've had it elevated and I'm applying ice on and off, but if it's still nonfunctional tomorrow it's back to the Immediate Care centre for me tomorrow.
Argh.

Foot Kink
http://community.livejournal.com/snarryficfind/1440601.html Hey all, I was wondering if any of you could recommend any good fics where Harry is totally crazy for Severus' feet. Toe sucking, arch-licking, in actuality or just Harry's fantasies (especially if just Harry's fantasies!). Bonus if Harry has to explain this to Severus. I vaguely remember a fic where Harry was wild for barefoot!Severus, but I can't remember anything else. No idea how I'm going to tag this... Thanks in advance, Gwen EDIT: okay, so apparently I'm looking for foot kink, not fetish, thanks car8iss5 for helping me out with that :)

11/21/09 05:02 am
Harry wants Severus... Severus has no idea.
http://community.livejournal.com/snarryficfind/1440220.html I've suddenly got a craving for fics where Harry is romantically interested in Severus but Severus does not pick up on the hints dropped (or unintentionally left) his way. Severus is probably mystified by the looks he might catch from Harry, meanwhile Harry might not want Severus to find out he's got a thing for him. Basically, a resulting drawn out start to their relationship is what I am looking for. Note: I'm not looking for an inexperienced/virgin!Severus, just fics where he does not realise Harry's attraction to him and/or not realise that he's attracted to Harry. If the story happens to also factor in inexperienced/virgin!Severus, that's fine, but not really what I'm looking for. Anyway, any fics along this line would be great!

On BDSM, Part I
So, the_minx_17 and I have been talking for the last couple days about making a specific post. Minx put hers up already – you can find it here - and now I'm putting up mine.
Hello, my name is Irana, and I am a Top. This means that within the BDSM community/The Scene/Lifestyle, I am what many refer to as a Dominant.
This post will hopefully not only explain why I read very little BDSM, D/s, lifestyle themed fics, but also will allow those of you reading who are not a part of the community some knowledge. Because really, some of the crap out there being called kink is shit. Please, for the love of life, seriously, go fuck up someone else's kink, okay? Leave mine alone. Some of those fics have no actually basis in reality, they do not acknowledge RACK/SSC at all and it drives me batshit insane. What are those two things you ask? ( Let me explain. )
I have a lot more to say, so I'm going to stop here for a bit. Got questions? Ask. Really. Next topics will be limits, total power exchange and negotiation.
Edit: Part II of this discussion/meta is here. It covers Negotiation, so if there are questions about consent, SSC or RACK, please leave those here.
