Is this almost political?

I finally got my copy of OotP back from the ex-boyfriend, who borrowed it back in June. *is pleased*

So my new friend lykaios is asking us to create our own personal investment in the outcome of this election.

I said that if Kerry wins, I will write more often than I do now.

And I said that if Bush wins, I will write...Remus/Snape.

OMG VOTE FOR KERRY PLEASE SAVE ME FROM HAVING TO WRITE REMUS/SNAPE.

In other news, upon entering my Government class this morning, all of us were given plastic red, white, or blue leis, because, apparently, we were having state conventions. After the Democrats turned our desks into a wide circle, one of the boys started dismantling his blue one, and, when he had a big long strip of blue plastic, passed it around the circle so that everyone was holding a bit of it. It became the Democratic Circle of Unity.

The Republicans...had big gaps in their circle.

While trying to figure out a party platform, the Democrats proposed that the US take the American bald eagle from pride of place as national bird and install the pterodactyl there instead. And that we immediately establish an underwater city in the Atlantic Ocean and call it Atlantis.

The Republicans, on the other hand, voted to deport my precinct to Canada because the most rabidly Democratic and aggressively argumentative person in the class (probably senior class as well, possibly school) is in my precinct. I am not sure whether to mind or not.

...Is there any doubt which is the better party? *g*

Aaaaaand I have updated this gigantic thing with seven more stories since my last announced update, so there is now a total of 207 fic links, plus the other stuff.

Does someone have an alternate link for "Thing" by Cimorene and Wax Jism? I DON'T WANT TO HAVE LOST THIS FIC.

Plus, I've finally got around to fixing the links to the first wave of celticmoonstar. Remember, if you find a broken link, TELL ME.

AHH I ALMOST FORGOT I'M SORRY! Happy birthday, hiddendaze! :D Hope it was brilliant!

OMG WHY AM I NOT OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE I MUST SAVE YOU FROM HAVING TO WRITE REMUS/SNAPE.

Also, the Democrats in your government class? Rock. So much. I can't decide whether I like the pterodactyl or Atlantis more. ^^

[rynne.livejournal.com]

I like the pterodactyl more, but that might be because it just came from nowhere. I mean, this guy was reading the list of proposed things to put on our platform, and randomly "That the US get rid of the American bald eagle as national bird and make it the PTERODACTYL" and every single Democrat in the class started laughing.

I sent it my absentee ballot today and thought of you. :D

Hi! Another new friend.

Random fact about me:
Kerry/Edwards is my pretend-OTP. XP

M'Kay, that's all I've got for tonight. :p

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

Yay! You've fixed them? Now that you've done that, I feel better about going through and deleting all the original wave postings. Thanks, dear. I wanted this to be updated before I did, and was going to let you take as much time as you needed as I have a ton of space and both versions weren't doing any harm where they were.

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

PS - *spams your LJ* I saved you from having to write Remus/Snape. ^^

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Ack, sorry for taking so long then, if you were waiting on me (even if you have plenty of space).

Also, yay for you for helping save me from Remus/Snape! :D

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

It's quite alright. Also me being really lazy too. *G*

You're welcome! ^.^

To be fair, I'm all in favor of writing new pairings as an exercise (hence why I've written Sev/Hermione (and rather liked it, asljkghslakhgALGJH)), but no. Just no.

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm all for writing new pairings too--do it rather often with queerditch_pub because that has the MOST RANDOM PAIRINGS and all, but. Remus/Snape. NO. *wibbles*

[latentfunction.livejournal.com]

Meh. I can see why people like it, and I've read some that I did like (The joke chapter in Stealing Harry for example, although that's Sam and therefore sort of cheating. And AU to begin with.), but I can say that about most pairings I've read.

And seriously yes. Those prompts are really and truly insane, sometimes. Again, good, but wooooooow.

[rynne.livejournal.com]

See, I can't see why people like or--or rather, I know intellectually sorta, but I don't understand it really. And I've never read any. The joke chapter? Once I saw where it was going, I skipped down to the bottom and saw that it was a joke and was immeasurably relieved. It's just...gah. There's no other pairing in any other fandom that puts me off as much as Remus/Snape does.

::is excited about personal investment::
::also eyes reclist excitedly::

i forgot to tell you the other day how crazily tickled i was to see one of my fics on there. so, i am telling you now. :D

[notions.livejournal.com]

OMG YOU GOT IT BACK! It was the psychic waves I was sending your way, I'm sure of it... XD

[rynne.livejournal.com]

It was! Stupid ex. And ahahaha, the first thing I do when I get it back is find the page where it was "Lupin, who was staying in the house with Sirius..."

XD

[hiddendaze.livejournal.com]

*hugs rynne* Thanks! (and, yeah, I think we could call it brilliant :)).

(and I wouldn't know if the greeting was early or late, as I am like a passing ghost in LJ now *sadness*)

[billywig.livejournal.com]

i'm canadian, but i'll use my mind powers to have some hapless american vote for kerry! no one should have to write sexy!snape. hehe :D

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Well, even if I did end up having to write it, I wouldn't make Snape sexy. o.O It's like, impossible for me to even comprehend Snape being sexy. I'd just...er...I have absolutely no idea, since I can't see Remus/Snape as being plausible at all.

PleasewinKerrypleasewinOMGpleasewin

[billywig.livejournal.com]

i feel your pain, dude. canon snape is greasy and nasty and, well, snape! i don't think i could write him paired off with anyone if not for alan rickman.

go kerry! i'm praying for kucinich in 4 years. :)

[monophobia.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the intrustion... but here (http://www.waxjism.org/pickle/stories/thing.html) is Thing. I'm right tempted to save it to disk since it seems to love disappearing on me... XD

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you, and don't be sorry!

(Randomly, I love your stick figure comics. *g*)

[monophobia.livejournal.com]

Alright, I won't be! XD

(And thank you! :D)
