The Homeland Security folks claim the terrorists want to disrupt the democratic process. If they know anything at all about these conventions, then those will be the safest places to be at, since they are so irrelevant.

-my dad. who has left the state for the week to avoid the convention madness.

oh crap! i just reached for my phone and realized i forgot to charge it last night. damn. have no fear, gentle readers, it has a powerful and long-lasting battery. and i will charge it for this hour before i leave. and i'd better go pick a textslash topic.

TextSlash 9: Harry Potter and the Slayer of the Vampyres

anything that combines the hp world and the btvs/ats world. for those poor souls on my flist who want to play but don't really know buffy, you can wing it. :) i'm sure you know a character name - bring them to hogwarts. in 145 characters, you really don't have much to worry about. but i love the mixing of these worlds (remus/wes, omg!) and i'd love to see what you can do with it.

as usual, up to 145 characters, sent to me by text message today between 8:30 and 5 est. if it doesn't automatically say it's from you, put your name in the little box. 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.

more textslash

starbuckle's series of hott trio-ness continues:

13. it was time. hermione stepped back, and ron took his cue from her, pulling away only long enough to tug harry's shirt off over his head.
( the whole series )

more from camillafarfalla:

'This chocolate?" Viggo passes a bar. 'Or this?' He passes a bottle. Bernard looks hungry.

eeee!!! licking!

and ursulakohl had trouble texting me the following for the s/r challenge. and i didn't find them until too late. i feel badly about that, but you should still have a chance to read them (and if you like them, give her feedback, especially since it's too late for votes)...

1) "My brother killed me." It is dark behind the stars, but still he senses a familiar curve of shoulder, deceptively soft above wolf-fed muscle.

2) He says, "You don't have a brother." He reaches out.

3) "Did I have you, instead?" Black eyes, too round, too old. No city of marble and fountains. There is no time here.

ron and draco. closeted. or not.

Harry Potter and the Slayer of the Vampyres

i keep saying it and i'll keep on saying it: i love you guys. today, we have more than one crookshanks/miss kitty fantastico. we have xander/charlie (!!!) and ::tries to remain calm:: remus/doyle. meep. and many, many more. y'all are fabulous.

today's textslash comes from boniblithe, scottxwl, starbuckle, jacito,i_smile, annecatherine, coloredvision, and jjtaylor.

1. Xander had never really considered moving, but the dragon intrigued him. "Romania could be fun," he said. Even the man's freckles seems to smile. by coloredvision

2. tara and luna pause, fingers laced together, and watch the thestrals take flight. "strangely beautiful," tara says. luna nods, nearer earth for once. by jacito

3. Across the convention floor their eyes locked: Andrew in his Princess Leia costume and Neville in his Slave Girl Leia costume. It was destiny. by scottxwl

4. remus' hand is cool on doyle's forehead after the vision stops. they silently curse the powers that be and prepare to save the world again. by jacito

5. his face was a little squashed and his tail left much to be desired, but miss kitty had learned long ago to appreciate the crookshanks within. by jacito

6. "you have much to learn about magic," pansy smirked, drawing her wand down amy's skin, along the inside of her leg. amy shivered. by jacito

7. "Where did you learn that?" gasped Hermione. "Oh, my friend Willow taught me a few things," replied Dawn. "Now, here's what Tara taught me." by scottxwl

8. "Mine fell through the veil. Yours?" "Was a lesbian." "Have some chocolate. It'll make you feel better." by annecatherine

9. "No, no, you're holding it like a quill. Like this," Hermione corrected, and wrapped her fingers around Willow's. Red sparks shot out of the wand. by jjtaylor

10. Willow had watched the beautiful blonde for long enough. "So, you're a witch, too?" she began. "A wizard," Draco corrected. He scowled. by i_smile

11. "You're back." "Yes, Minerva," said Giles, pulling her into an embrace. "And the Slayer?" Giles broke into the sobs he had buried in Sunnydale. by scottxwl

12. "I can teach you control," said Oz, taking Remus' hand. "It will be long and hard--nono, stop that--and you should probably stay away from women." by scottxwl

13. The silence of the graveyard was broken by Draco's undead laughter. "Is that a stake in you pocket, Potter, or are you just happy to see me?" by boniblithe

14. harry and buffy stood alone together, the remains of all they held dear blasted to bits around them. "last ones standing are the heroes, then?" by starbuckle

15. "Meow?" asked Crookshanks. "Oh my god, dude, that is wrong on so many levels," answered Miss Kitty Fantastico. Crookshanks hissed. "Whatever." by scottxwl

16. A sudden appearance of another red-haired witch made Ginny suspicious at first, until Willow later confessed she thought the wand was a baton. by coloredvision
