Fic Posting & Twilight

[gilpin25]

Just to say what you probably already know, that the awesome mrstater, graphic manipulator extraordinaire, and myself have posted the first part of our joint letter-writing fic Between the Lines, which you can find either at her LJ, or here at mine. Yes, there's really no escape from it, however hard you try. ;)

Sign-ups are underway at metamorfic_moon for The Beatles and The Bard Timeless Moon Ball, and it's wonderful how many of you have done so already. The two people who've got the lyrics/quotes I really hoped for will be receiving bribes in due course, lol.

And for those on my f-list who are Brits and Twilight fans, there's a two page article in today's Times newspaper supplement about the books, the film, Stephenie Meyer and some comparisons with JKR. :) I'm very taken with the fact that she works on a marble desk and thinking of changing mine to see if it speeds me up!

Comments like that are welcome anywhere, lol. I actually had a lot of doubts whether Remus' first reply was too much, but then the one thing you know he's being completely honest about is that he would never, ever have imagined she meant him, he was having a completely crap day, and he did really regret it immediately. Besides, we did need Tonks to get to the sober soul baring, as opposed to the tipsy one, or Part I might still be ongoing. ;)

I really want to make the acquaintance of sticky toffee pudding now -- those photos are evil. I'll have to content myself with a piece of rapidly-going-stale cake left over from my department's graduation reception on Sunday. Can you have sticky toffee pudding at all? Or is wheat one of your nemeses?

When you come visit England again, it's a promise that I'll treat you to one. They're actually a speciality that started in the Lake District - we thought we ought to send Remus to Ambleside for his mission, where I frequently holiday, and where picturesque postcards of the Lake etc. really are available. The puddings travel from the Lake District to be sold at my local supermarket, along with the complimentary cream, sauce and a million calories to go with it all.

I can manage about a mouthful, and live to tell the tale, but they are incredibly yummy. Mr Gilpin likes them served hot with vanilla ice cream... Let me know if I'm making you hungry!

the idea of a HBP fic, with Remus off with the pack but unable to get Tonks out of his head, started hijacking the proceedings. I've been wanting to do more with the HBP part of Kaleidoscope, anyway; I've even had an OC werewolf or two living in my brain who've been hoping for a chance to make their debuts, especially since I'll need them for my AU post-war fic later on...

Ooh, that's sold it to me already. I was thinking the slightly predictable romantic comedy route, but that's much more interesting. :)

Let me know if I'm making you hungry!

You most certainly are! Especially now that you've brought vanilla ice cream into it. ;P

(I do hope someday I'll be able to take you up on your offer of my very own piece!)
