it's the textslashiest!

today we have not one winner, but two! it's a tie, ladies and gents.

1. "Hey, Fred, George, really funny, mates," Oliver shouted, thumping his shoulder against the cupboard door. "Now why don't you let me out. Now. Please?" by jjtaylor

and

4. Piercing wails woke them. "This is wreaking havoc on my Keeper practice," Oliver sighed. "Hey, I didn't screw up the contraceptive spell," retorted Percy. by kaalee

so, we could have a runoff election or something but, eh, i'm busy today. so you both win! what do you want, ladies? drabbles? icons? all expense paid trip to downtown noho? ok, not really that one. in fact, nothing involving money, sorry. :) oh, and, if it's a drabble you want, text me your pairing of choice today, won't you? and then as long as the boss's son doesn't make good on his threat to sit with me at my desk all day, maybe i can work on it at work.

ok, on to the next challenge, with thanks to iore for the idea...

TextSlash 6: professors behaving badly.

and it can be any professor, doesn't have to be hp. so that could be... x-men! x-men has professors. or... tolkien! he was a professor (ahahahaha). ok. so, the spiel: left to your interpretation, of course. as usual, up to 145 characters, sent to me by text message today between 8:30 and 5 est. and for the love of god, people, DON'T PASTE FROM WORD. it doesn't work. and to be cautious, it may be best to avoid apostrophe use. i'll fill them in when i post them here, not to worry.

i have to take rach to the bus station in springfield this morning before i go to work, so i'm in a rush. but i need to post camillafarfalla's text to me from yesterday:

"Your paintings, your poems... you are magical to me," insisted Remus. "You're sweet," Viggo said, "but i still wish i could do that thing you do with the boa."

ahahaha, the boa? ahahaha.

and i've just decided that when people use caps for emphasis - as is one's only real option when texting - i will change them to italics here because that is less offensive to me. deal? k.

(no subject)

what? how am i posting in the middle of the day??? :) i'm home for lunch, since rach is away and i have the car. and i wrote a drabble for jjtaylor this morning as her prize for yesterday's textslash. so i thought i'd post it.

it's 118 words but i don't feel inclined to cut it back. so there.

( comparisons are odious. remus/viggo. )

and btw, the textslash entries so far today are hilarious. y'all rock my socks. and now i have to go back to work. wah.

oh. my. gahd. i am sooo tired. driving rach to the bus at 7:30, working all day, going to the gym and then to the laundromat is apparently the very maximum i can handle in one day. i'm exhausted.

i just looked back at my remus/viggo drabble and i was like huh? i wrote this? this morning seems like forever ago. but i'm pleased. i think it's one of the better wee things i've written.

and now, to type um them text messages. whew. there are quite a few...

(no subject)

have i mentioned? i love you all. we have professors mcgonagall, snape, sprout, flitwick, hagrid, lupin, dumbledore, potter, malfoy, granger, tolkien (eee!), lewis, monaghan, walsh (brilliant!), and one appearance by a music professor from my alma mater (omg, i'm scarred for life!).

these are by camillafarfalla, jjtaylor, princessrugger, jacito, i_smile, antheia, scottxwl, novembersnow, annecatherine and thefourthvine.


1. As she slipped out of Severus' study, Minerva couldn't help smirking to herself. He'd be trying to put those papers right for hours. by antheia

2. "Headmaster wanted to see Dobby?" Albus pats his knee, then strokes one large elf ear. "I understand we share a love of socks," he murmurs. by novembersnow

3. "Mrs. Norris hasn't caught any students lately," Filch fretted. "Maybe she's sick." "I'm sure she's fine," said Minerva with a smug, feline smile. by novembersnow

4. "Hermione's really gone mental, Harry. She tried giving Snape and Lupin detention for making our without telling her. She wanted to take notes!" by annecatherine

5. "No, Hermione, we didn't see that. We didn't see Hagrid tied up in chains and Buckbeak with a whip in his beak. No, absolutely not!" "But... Ron." by annecatherine

6. "Another incomplete sentence?!" thought Professor Maggie Walsh as she graded her umpteenth term paper. "That's it. I'm building a demon robot." by scottxwl

7. "oh dear," said lewis affectionately, watching tolkien scamper through the yard. "best cut him off. he's seeing hobbits in the garden again." by jacito

8. the rapid, frantic pants emanating from the warbeke room were followed by a pause, and then, a gentle "i'm sorry, larry. my bride is waiting." by princessrugger

9. Harry was having a bad day, so when Draco had a period free from Potions, he barged into Harry's DADA class to give him a cookie. And a snog. by camillafarfalla

10. "Did you see that pink hoodie Hermione was wearing today" McGonagall asked. "Tell me about it!" said Snape. He sighed. "I'm a bad, bad man." by scottxwl

11. "Neville, you're blooming nicely," Sprout said, smiling approvingly. "I've always said all that's needed is the right pot for the root to grow." by i_smile

12. Billy entered the room and burst out laughing. "Take off all your clothes at once, young hobbit!" Dom slapped a ruler on the table for emphasis. by camillafarfalla

12a. "Dom, how many times do I have to tell you?" Billy unbuttoned his shirt. "You don't have to pull this Professor Tolkien stunt to get me in to bed!" by camillafarfalla

13. After, they each had their own favorite memories of the night... Minerva quite enjoyed TPing, Snape reveled in his purposeful potions disasters... by camillafarfalla

13a. ...but it was agreed that the most fun was had by Albus, who enlisted Peeves to help paint murals all over the walls, right under Filch's nose. by camillafarfalla

14. Harry couldn't hide a smirk as he observed Snape's wand use. "You call that kinky? Please. Guess you didn't share a room with Neville for 7 years." by thefourthvine

15. She was sleeping in class again. Heat spread on Walsh's face, then moved lower. She smiled. Buffy was going to miss some sleep again tonight. by thefourthvine

16. Something that looked distinctly like Snape flew past them as they walked down to the greenhouse. "Is that a... a dirt bike?" Hermione gasped. by jjtaylor

17. McGonagall had on a strange hat and pads on her knees. She zoomed around the room on a flying board. "Muggle studies is important," she said. by jjtaylor

18. Prof. Flitwick was careening down the corridor, shoes with wheels strapped to his feet. "Blimey," said Ron. Flitwick giggled and pirouetted. by jjtaylor

omg, why am i not in bed? well, because i've been reading things, of course. like hackthis's ron/draco. omg♥ and just now, jjtaylor's woman eater - a hermione/mcgonagall fic for the tribute to switchknife. it's so frickin cute, people, you must read.

and i did the cleverest thing! when i got home from the laudromat, i put my clean sheets in a plastic bag and into the freezer. so now i'll wash up and all and just at the last minute, take them out and put them on the bed and be lovely and cool as i drift off to sleep. that's the plan anyway. i'll let you know how it goes.

and now, to search for some dean/seamus while i brush my teeth. any recs out there?

note self: tomorrow you want to read minervacat's dom/billy.
