Since my last 'puter sort of died I've been using my work laptop, a piece of equipment I'm best off not polluting with HP fandom... But now I've finally bought a new one so I may become a bit active here. :D

Anyone for a helping of Silly!Vee on video? :)

Props to starcrossedgirl for printing out cluegirl's Everybody's Fool WIP Snarry for us :) pitchblackrose read it in Paris (while I read Smurf comics) and I'm reading it now. Must have something going for it since I'm still reading and I have the attention span of a... what was I talking about?

Apart from stocking up on the latest Smurf comics (hey! I like them, and the French is simple enough for me) I bought a BDSM comic with the title Éducation Anglaise (cover here). It was awful, of course, with no rhyme or reason to the sequence of events. Thinking that D/s fiction does not always have to be awful pitchblackrose has a challenge.

We woke up this morning from Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on our door. I usually love talking to missionaries. Not many people knock on your door or address you on the street with the intent of discussing something interesting like ancient literature or the theory of evolution. Since I'm keen on topics like that I usually react favorably and chat for a while.

But I wasn't quite up to that this morning when I stumbled out of bed and into my bathrobe thinking that our Amazon order had arrived. So I didn't exactly have any witty repartee about why I didn't think the end of the world was coming. And I couldn't very well invite them in. So I just took what of their literature I hadn't read already and we agreed they could come again for a chat about repentance and forgiveness of sins at a more convenient time.

When I crawled back into bed Dunya asked: "Why didn't you tell them about the orgy?" Good question. Wonder what they'd have made of that. If they come again like they promised I could even show them some photos.

More to the point I can show you t00bs who were there yesterday some photos if you ask nicely :) So e-mail us at pitchblackrose@gmail.com and we'll send you a zip file.

A few things I like:

• t00bs


• t00bages


• avi files of Dunya spanking Kye OMGsohot!!!

( And here's a pretty picture of him frotting against her leather-clad leg. )

First balefully prompted pitchblackrose to write RPS on son_of_darkness and Mistress and me. And then she did and it was totally hot and then lizardspots drew a hawt picture of it.

So I'm happy and life is wonderful - to an unusually large degree :D!!!!

Hello world! Again :)

I haven't posted here for ages but recent events have made a post appropriate.

So pitchblackrose graciously took me along for the t00b showing of Goblet of Fire. Fun fun fun.

Meeting people who appreciate me wearing leather trousers was a somewhat novel but very pleasant experience. And the general costume silliness and hotness was lovely too.

( I thought the movie was great. )

The movie, of course, was a very insignificant and subdued affair compared to the rampant paganism at generous lazy_daze's and balefully's place afterwards. Everyone was so great and friendly - and appreciative of leather trousers!! SQUEE :)

It was nice to finally meet starcrossedgirl who has been pitchblackrose's friend for a while now. They did, indeed, seem very friendly and close that night.

fidgetknickers is incredibly sexy, both in body and attitude. And kuteki is the cutest thing I ever saw. But of course my little chest monster was set on son_of_darkness from the start and I felt so lucky that he wanted to have anything to do with me. That was fun :)

My throat isn't that sore and it's definitely worth it.

*hugs* to everyone for being so friendly and welcoming to a t00b n00b. I love you all. Extra *hugs* to everyone I talked with that night and didn't specifically mention above. And even more hugs for everyone who's sick.

You lot are great.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone:

Great Uncle Algie came round for dinner, and he was hanging me out of an upstairs window by the ankles when my Great Auntie Enid offered him a meringue and he accidentally let go. But I bounced -- all the way down the garden and into the road. They were all really pleased, Gran was crying, she was so happy. And you should have seen their faces when I got in here -- they thought I might not be magic enough to come, you see.

-Chapter seven, The Sorting Hat

jkrowling.com:

Everyone who shows magical ability before their eleventh birthday will automatically gain a place at Hogwarts; there is no question of not being ‘magical enough’; you are either magical or you are not. There is no obligation to take up the place, however; a family might not want their child to attend Hogwarts.

Yay! I wrote a thingy on hp_essays :) And then there was like discussion and stuff.

Gloomy predictions on the future of canon

I just read Wrapped Around Your Finger by Jade_Orchid and I rather liked it. Review with spoilers follows. Also contains thoughts (with spoilers) on some of Isaac Asimov's works.

Now, obviously, I'm partial to the theme and find it inherently believable. Nevertheless I don't think my judgment is too impaired when I say that this started as a fairly convincing extrapolation from canon with a post-war emotionally scarred Hermione. Killing off people's parents is certainly a time-honored way of darkening their character.

But the conclusion of the story managed to touch two of my pet peeves at once, let's take them in order.

1. Endings where we find out that Things Were Not As They Seemed. Now, when done well this can of course be excellent - but it's hard to do well. It tends to be far-fetched. It tends to be what people do when they want "more plot" in the story and it usually doesn't work for me. I'll take convincing characterization and character development over "intriguing" plot any day.

2. Mind control explanations. Finding out that someone's emotions/opinions/thoughts were, contrary to what the authorial voice suggested at the time, being directly manipulated by magical or technological means. I can't stand that. It drives a dagger into the back of my "believable characters" fanaticism. This is, in my opinion, what stopped Isaac Asimov's The Robots of Dawn from being an excellent work. At the end of the story we find out that mind-controlling robots, secretly manipulating the future of the human race, are responsible for a good part of the book's plot. :) Asimov also managed to spoil his Foundation's Edge with this sort of thing. Come to think of it that book also had a hefty dosage of Things Were Not As They Seemed. And it wasn't done well, in my opinion. And if Asimov couldn't always pull it off I'm skeptical of mere mortals trying it :)

That said, as you might have gathered, I'm a big fan of Asimov's works despite all their faults. In the same spirit I really liked Jade_Orchid's story - even if I didn't fancy the ending. :)

What She Wants by kai
I rather liked this one. It's playful.

Control by Zephyr
Smutlet. I don't know about the literary merits but I liked it.

Bad Little Girl by Isis
Drabble. Skirtfic :)

Mistress Hermione and The Magic Dildo
Something, I think, from outside the usual HP-fandom. Over the top. Silly.

I figure I'll post what I wrote into my user info here by way of introduction to anyone who happens upon my journal. Still getting the hang of this ljournal-thing.

I'm a mostly (but not exclusively) heterosexual male in my mid-twenties. I am whipped, figuratively as well as literally. When my wife suggested this name for my journal I protested that I was obedient rather than naughty. She said that while I might be obedient for a husband I was probably fairly naughty by house-elf standards. Can't argue with that. :)

Other things about me... hmm... I've almost completed my second university degree. I like reading although I mostly read non-fiction. I live a fairly quiet and thoroughly happy life.

In Harry Potter fandom my preference is femdom!Hermione :)

So, here I am :) Wonder what to write.

Oops! I think Mistress needs her ice-cream now.
