Have you ever had a professional relationship that bordered on friendship once, then faltered, and you're stuck in a semi-friendship where in reality you found out don't like each other? Or rather, you still try to like the other person, and they show every sign of attempting to like you, but every now and then the dislike seeps through... a little comment, a nasty observation... and you suspect that your own disdain for that person is also showing. It's poisonous and I'm tempted to just end it, but I've gotta work with this person so....

Is it unhealthy to grit one's teeth for any great length of time?

Stargate Recs Page fixed.

Okay, I discovered the Icarus' Stargate Recs page was corrupted and missing, oh, 90% of the recs. Fortunately I'd first made them in LJ so I was able to recreate the list (with some missing information).

It's fixed, so enjoy. Gosh, this rec-list would be easier to navigate with eFiction but hey, 140 Stargate recs. *shrugs*

ETA: Oh. The page is white. Hmm.

Review

Review to a recent story of mine:

The ending's kind of sudden. :( Otherwise, it's very, very pretty.

I agree. I wish you'd left your email so I could say so. I haven't posted this story in a lot of places yet because it doesn't feel quite finished. The ending is just not there. I'm rethinking gray_bard's suggested additions. I don't want to add any scenes, they won't fit, but there's something unsatisfying about that ending for me too.

P.S. Sorry for the spamage. I've had to repost entries from earlier today. Backdating issue.

HP Shortfic drabbles.

So I have a lot to do tonight to prepare for tomorrow, and I've asked WG to hog the computer, please. Of course, I'm staying at school for as long as possible, because I picked a really tough subject for my Lotus Sutra class. What do I know about Japanese poetry?

In the spirit of avoiding work (and continuing to spam my f-list before I give up on distracting myself), here are hpshortfics drabbles, unedited, written in roughly 30 minutes apiece.

( Our theme was 'weather' and Narnia crossovers. Thunderstorm! And must include soap. Bonus points for het and/or Percy (goseaward) )

---

( The theme was missing scenes from the HP books - Remus, waking up in the woods after running loose in PoA )

---

( The theme was missing scenes from the HP books - Severus and Draco, right after their escape )

Cartoon protests - yes, still spamming.

In a new turn, a prominent Iranian newspaper, Hamshahri, invited artists to enter a Holocaust cartoon competition, saying it wanted to see if freedom of expression — the banner under which many Western publications reprinted the prophet drawings — also applied to Holocaust images.

Good point. Suddenly the Islamic cartoon protests make sense to me (if not the violence).

Harry Potter fans, lest I neglect you...

sqkiwibird has just an awesome list of 173 176 fics! (1736!) Some I haven't read, a lot of them stories that I consider HP fandom classics.

176 (wow) HP Fics

ETA: Er. Can't count....
