gilpin25: (Red Dress)
If anyone fancies a Friday afternoon/evening fic to read, I happen to have one handy. I can honestly say it's taken me months to write this, in between decorators, holidays, bad shoulders and procrastination, and if I take as long with my Meta one there may be trouble ahead...

Title: Under Cover of Darkness
Characters: Charlie, Tonks, Remus
Rating & Warnings: PG-13
Word Count: 3865
Summary: Tonks was shaking her head. “I think one day someone will come along and I’ll – I’ll be so bowled over from lack of practice and by him, that my only chance of surviving it all is if he’s the same.”
Author’s Notes: I seem to have been writing this for about two months on and off, mostly off. It was inspired by the lovely [livejournal.com profile] hrymfaxe and her request for a fic about Charlie and the prompt ‘eclipse’. This was intended to be much shorter and a less angsty, rather different story, but the characters seemed to have ideas of their own and… I let them have their way. Hopefully, I shouldn’t have stuck with Plan A. ;)

If you don't fancy that, I can offer a filmstar meme I've nabbed from [livejournal.com profile] enomis57. I'm not too sure about this as I couldn't make up my mind between two answers, and now I'm thinking I should have gone for the other one as I sound so much fun! Still, the pet peeves made me laugh as did the fact that it's quite true, I really wouldn't like a bulldozer to come on to me. But would anyone?!

I is Gracie! )

Hope you all have a good weekend!:D

In 2007, gilpin25 resolves to...
Give up writing.
Take nfwbls acting.
Lose ten films by March.
Cut down on my moonlighting.
Admit my true feelings to molly_coddles.
Spend less time on theatre.
Get your own New Year's Resolutions:


Can't help feeling several people will be cheering loudly if I do some of these...

And as for [livejournal.com profile] molly_coddles - I didn't know I had to say it out loud! But okay, I'll admit it - the recipe is half-typed and should be sent sometime today.

Hope everyone has had a great Christmas and that you all have a Happy New Year.

I'm really impressed with this. Especially with those two forming the band, though I had no idea [livejournal.com profile] ladybracknell was a pipe smoker... ;) Oh, and I pinched it from [livejournal.com profile] bratty_jedi, because it looked like fun.


On the twelfth day of Christmas, gilpin25 sent to me...
Twelve bratanimus drumming
Eleven ladybracknells piping
Ten films a-walking
Nine castles acting
Eight wales a-reading
Seven books a-writing
Six musicals a-moonlighting
Five de-e-e-etective stories
Four sherlock holmes
Three historic houses
Two lindsey davis
...and a sport in a roman history.

It was obviously asking for trouble mentioning the Round Robin letters as, apart from one, they've all been entertaining but swank-free. A lot of interest, though, was generated when one couple proudly told us how well their "body-boarding" was going this year. We spent two days thinking this was possibly slightly too much info about their sex life, before I remembered that the previous year they'd been obsessed by surfing... We're going for that version of events.

I've almost finished my Advent Fic, and those are words I doubted I'd ever type at times. So I've started reading everyone else's now and writing very belated reviews, for which I'm sorry. But Christmas is clamouring for my attention this weekend - so many presents and so much wrapping to do. Still these are a few of my favourite things... ;)

Comment and I'll give you a letter. Then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. After, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

My letter from [livejournal.com profile] bratty_jedi was G.

1. Gold.
2. Green.
3. Gambling. (To a degree;))
4. Ginger. (As in the spice and neighbour's cat).
5. Gee Gees. (Because I have to get horses into everything).
6. Galaxy.
7. Gardens.
8. Google.
9. Guillemots.
10. Gilpin Lodge Hotel.

And following on from my exciting visits to supermarkets, I popped to the newsagents this morning, and for a minute thought I'd discovered the Remus and Tonks of the West Midlands. The girl in front of me was proclaiming loudly to her mate: "I know he's dangerous, but he's so good in bed what can I do?" Turns out he'd just been done for dangerous driving for the third or fourth time (she couldn't remember), rather than a werewolf problem...

Nicked from [livejournal.com profile] joely_jo because I'm having a moment's worried consideration about whether I can really do such a thing to Tonks in the Jumble Fic. Still I'm sure she'll think it's worthwhile if she ends up on Remus, on a chair, in the apothecary, enjoying a Day of Satisfaction. (Sounds more like Cluedo;)) Also my husband's just come home and told me my hair colour does look different - it's shinier! Obviously I was going around like Snape before and nobody told me...

Is it me or are her arms very long and skinny?

So you come back from holiday and you have homework. The best part seems to be that I have five new stories to read, I'm not quite so sure about the Battle Cry thing which, apparently, I just had to discover...

What Is Your Battle Cry?

Striding on the wasteland, carrying a vorpal blade, cometh Gilpin! And she gives an ominous bellow:

"I'm going to bludgeon you with such reckless abandon, you will drink poison and piss honey!"

Is it me being paranoid or do I sound a bit Xena-like? Well, Xena-like if she was a shot-putter with hairy armpits, strapping thighs, and probably a beard that [livejournal.com profile] ladybracknell would recognise... No, I'm not convinced by this one, although there's a fair few people I could bludgeon with a lot of abandon, and obviously I do have an interesting turn of phrase there. ;)


Next I was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] bratty_jedi, [livejournal.com profile] pandorajones and [livejournal.com profile] celtmama to do a meme. I thought I'd given these up, but obviously it was only for a week's trial period.


Six Very Random Things About Me )


That's it. I'm going off to read other people's fics so as to distract me from all thoughts of tomorrow when it's fic posting day. [livejournal.com profile] mrstater says I'm not allowed to tweak any more. I think I need some earthy potato drink...
