The Masterlist at HP_Creatures is up, so I present my contribution to the fest:

Title: The Last of All Illusions
Author/artist: [info]elfflame
Pairing/Characters: Harry/Draco
Creature Type: Incubus - Spoiler for story, highlight to read.
Rating: Heavy R, verging on NC-17
Warnings: dub-con, mentions of murder
Disclaimer: The characters and setting are not mine. They belong to a lovely lady who is gracious enough to let us play with them. No money is being made on this story.
Notes: I’d just done a Vamp fic when I claimed this prompt, and I’ve done Veela and Werewolf before as well, so I really wanted to do something different here. I hope you like what I ended up choosing. I loved doing this prompt. The story is extremely different from anything I’ve done before, and I love the way it turned out. So many of the things in this are things I’ve never done before, and because of that, it was both a challenge and a joy to write—I do my best writing when I’m challenged. I’m usually Top!Harry, Bottom!Draco, so I hope this Harry is bottomy enough for you, Alexis. Thank you for the excellent prompt. And sorry that I couldn’t manage Snape in here.
Huge thank yous to [info]kabal42, [info]wolfish_cat, and [info]ceria for looking this over for me, and holding my hand through the entire writing process. You all helped immensely, and this fic wouldn’t be half as good if you hadn’t been there.
Original prompt and submitter:
30.Prompt Presented by: [info]alexis_sd
Creature Type: other (of your choice, but please no were-creatures)
Characters/Pairing: Snape/Harry (preferred) or Draco/Harry, or threesome, (if it's bottom!Harry you'll have my heart)
Prompt: Snape/Draco is in Azkaban… until his trial/serving a short sentence. While the Dementors are no longer there, the residue of their magic is thick enough to stir dormant genes in Snape/Draco. The desperation and unhappiness that the Dementors' residue invoke not only trigger a trait to life, in its attempt to save its human the creature (of your choice) takes over the control from its human. When out of Azkaban, the human manages to gain control back, but the creature is now there, demanding the fulfilling of its needs. (This can easily go into D/s if the creature is Dominant but it's not a requirement.)
Feel free to make Harry a mate, a soothing force or anything of your choice.

So, I had this idea a few months back, and it bloomed into a story idea that will be my NaNoWriMo come next month.

The idea itself is Harry as a sultan, and Draco as his slaveboy. Before I decided to write it as my NaNo, I put it up as an idea for HD_Fanart over at LJ.

The picture went up today, and all I can do is squee. It's absolutely gorgeous. So if anyone were to want to go see it, here it is: On My Command. Go check it out and tell the artist how gorgeous it is. :D

Three-way tie.  I was thinking about asking for a tiebreaker, but I decided to just do them all.  This one will go beyond Seattle a bit more, because there are some wonderful animal attractions in the greater Seattle area that I have to include.

Creature Attractions )

Museums )

and a bit about Music )

And I've probably missed a number of things, but I think that's a good starting place for now, don't you?

I have a great idea for NaNo this year, but first I have several stories I have to write, and if any of them aren't mostly finished or completely so by then, then I'm not going to let myself. Because work + NaNo = no other time for anything.

Fic list:
October D_D (H/D, Plugs)
Kit's Birthday
November D_D (Genderplay)
Snapely Holidays
Ceria's Birthday
December D_D


Eep.

* Comment on this post.
* I will give you a letter.
* Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.


[info]kennahijja gave me P.

Polgara who was one of two great female characters from the Belgariad, the other of whom also begins with a P...  Possibly the strongest female in the series, and that includes her mother.  Definitely a kick-arse woman who doesn't take no for an answer.

Porenn is the aunt of my all-time favorite character in the Belgariad, Silk.  There's a bit of angst going on between them because she married his uncle, but he's madly in love with her.  Even though she knows this, she always goes out of her way to make him comfortable.

Phoenix.  Whether Jean Grey or her future daughter, Rachel, I was drawn into X-Men because of her.  It's not just the power, either.  It's like she wasn't fully realized until she became Phoenix.  Of course, now we have a good notion why, but even so...she will always be my favorite X-Man.

Peter Pevensie.  I actualy quite like the eldest of the Pevansie children.  Strong and protective, and I love how he watches after his baby sister, even if he's not quite as good with his little brother.

Peter Parker.  Always a favorite Super Hero, and I have to admit, I did identify with him...


Gah... P sucks!

A different year, a different attitude. One step away from 40, and somehow, I just feel calmer all of a sudden.

Landmarks in the past year:
Got a new job. The first "real" job I've had in over ten years--since I went back to school.
My sister had her baby. Whom I adore like nothing else. Spent yesterday with the two of them. She is the happiest baby... I love them both. :)

Other than that, nothing's really changed much. Still write slash, still do too much at once. I'm trying to be more pragmatic about it, though.

Got sick this past weekend, so I've spent most of this week at home, trying to cough up a lung or something, but I've been able to distract myself with a new game: Spore. It's a lot of fun. I've only made it through the first two levels so far, but I'm looking forward to finding out more about the game, and I've already started three different races. :) If you're a Sims or Sim City fan, I highly recommend it.

Finished my D_D. Just waiting on one beta before I post it. Not what I'd intended to write, but I like it. I think others might, as well.

Plans for my boys today - Harry and Draco are renewing their vows in a legal ceremony today... And I think one of my other boys will be happily distracted as well. We'll see. :D

Thank you to everyone who has so far wished me a happy birthday, and thank you to Ceria and Snapesgirl for the special presents. I enjoyed them both very much. :D

Subject: Things to do in Seattle
Security: Public
Tags:seattle

So, [info]dacro had this idea to share information about the places we live after coming down here to the states and dealing with some idiots who had no clue BC even existed, apparently.  So I've had these lists on my hard drive for a while now, and I thought I'd share a bit of my knowledge about Seattle with those who would like to visit, and anyone else who's interested.  Any requests or suggestions for future lists are more than welcome.

~Things to do while you’re visiting Seattle short-term~

1) View Seattle from the top of the Space Needle – eat at the restaurant if you can afford it, otherwise you can eat at the Seattle Center Centerhouse or the EMP
2) Visit the Science Center & check out one of the Imax films that are playing, then go to the EMP and look around there. Don’t forget to check out the Sci-fi museum. You can even eat supper there.
3) Ride the Monorail from the Seattle Center to Westlake Center and shop – it’s easier to park near the Seattle Center.
4) Shop at the Pike Place Market and get coffee from the Original Starbucks shop. Don’t forget to go watch the fish-throwers!
5) Visit the Waterfront – see the Aquarium, eat at Steamers or Ivors, ride the waterfront trolley & don’t forget to visit Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe. And while you’re on the waterfront, don't forget to pick up some smoked salmon.
6) Visit Woodland Park Zoo
7) Take a daytrip to Tillicum Village on Blake Island & have smoked salmon
8) Take the Underground Seattle Tour
9) Go to any of Seattle’s great MuseumsSAM, MOHAI, SAAM…the list goes on. Then go to one of Seattle’s fabulous restaurants before taking in a show at one of Seattle’s many playhouses
10) Go to the Locks and watch the boats and look at the fish go through the ladder.

Oh, and before I forget--each of the above points are generally a half a day to a day's worth of activities on their own.

Subject: Sarah Palin
Security: Public
Tags:politics

One warning to the Republicans on my flist--this is very anti-Republican. And as such, skewed in favor of Democrats. Feel free to pass this by. You're not likely to convince me not to be annoyed by this situation.

I've kept quiet about the elections for the most part, but after listening to NPR today, I had to say this. Already said it in a comment, though there's more here...


I have so many issues with this woman, but my main issue is that she's Republican. The party of White middle-to-upper-class men. And anyone who doesn't fit that image but still wants to vote for them had better sit down and shut up and just come along for the ride. They think nothing of a family with a disabled kid because the wife is the one who has to take care of it (in their view), and therefore it wouldn't be an issue for a candidate, right?

Granted, that's a very narrow view, but look at how many Republicans are non-whites or women.

Which isn't to say that a Democrat would have a much easier time of it if she ended up having a Downs baby, but honestly? I think she'd be far more realistic about it, she'd have more support from friends and family, and quite possibly would retire from office given the responsibility it would take.

I do admit, for all I know, her husband will be the one to take care of the child. But in even a modern-day Republican family, that still feels (to me) like too much to expect.

And if Palin can't see how much work having a Down Syndrome child will be, which she doesn't seem to, because she keeps saying how it will be no issue, she certainly has no right ever being Vice President.

And then there is her daughter. Leaving her daughter's choices in this aside, it's quite obvious that Palin wasn't available to be there during a time when she should have obviously been talking to her about these sorts of choices. I'm not talking about whether they were the right choices or not. But I can't believe that Palin or McCain, or indeed, any Republican could really think this makes her look good. To me, all I see is a woman who chose between politics and her family. And her family lost.

Even if I were a Republican, I couldn't see voting for her. She's not groundbreaking. She's a mess.
