Alright, don't like don't read

I know every sporker in every comm in every blog server in the netverse keeps on harping how it's a lame excuse, but this is MY playground and I can piss in it as much as I like so, if you don't want DH spoilers...



DADDY DEAREST

An epistulary dramalet.


epistle, n

1. A communication made to an absent person in writing; a letter. Chiefly (from its use in translations from L. and Gr.) applied to letters written in ancient times, esp. to those which rank as literary productions, or (after the analogy of 2) to those of a public character, or addressed to a body of persons. In application to ordinary (modern) letters now used only rhetorically or with playful or sarcastic implication. (O.E.D.)

Father,

take me out of this horrible place! I was hexed with what the uncouth Potter boy with the double-barrelled improbable name called the Bat Bogey hex. Apparently his mother taught him.

It's the most disgustingly vomit-worthy thing I have ever had the misfortune to see, let alone being hit with.

The reason? I was just passing by him in the hall. He informed me that I had no right to pass him by in the hall as I am a filthy Slytherin. Which is why he hexed me. Out of the blue. I hadn't even seen him there.

No-one did or said anything. He's the Chosen One's child and has a License to Hex. I will NOT stay in this place a moment longer. Take me out and tutor me privately or suffer the consequences of my running away, a lone, defenceless boy forced to merlin-knows-what to survive.

Love,

Scorpius.

Scorpius,

you are being melodramatic. Melodramatic is not elegant, or witty, or anything but pathetic.

That said, I know exactly how you feel. Pack your things and please forgive me for sending you to that Pit of Gryffindor Entitlement. I'll be there to take you home tomorrow at nine ack emma.

You shall have tutors galore and all the respect you've a right to.

With all my love,

Draco Malfoy

Finis






I really felt like writing this. So sue me. :P :P :P

I like that theory, and I may have to use it on people who demand to know why I can't take either Rowling or Tolkien seriously as a writer. Well, Tolkien was also BORING, so for him there's that angle. Sometimes I do fall into a story a bit, but never so far that I can't call the writer on being a complete idiot.

[baeraad.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

Yes, Tolkien was a complete ass also. You know, sometimes I feel sort of weird knowing that while I adore fantasy, I loathe Tolkien, Lewis, Rowling... pretty much every author who leaps to mind when you mention fantasy. The fantasy authors I like that are really famous are usually ones that are generally considered to be on the fringes of the genre.

[ingriam.livejournal.com]

I'm usually more into Sci-fi than Fantasy; you get less idiots there and I just enjoy it more.

[baeraad.livejournal.com]

I like sci-fi too, but I tend to find it a little dry. A lot of sf authors give me the impression that they're writing their characters from a psychology textbook as opposed to from personal experience with how people behave. =]

Mind you, there are exceptions, of course. I deeply adore the Gap cycle by... uhm... by an author whom I shall not mention in Jane's journal for fear of upsetting our fragile peace treaty on the subject... ^_^;;

[ingriam.livejournal.com]

I kind of like more techno thrillers and sci-fi; Tom-I-am-not-anal-I-am-just-VERY-detailed Clancy most of all. I'm also a fan of K.A. Applegate's Animorphs, Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist (though I'm really more of a fan of the Anime than the Manga) and Yoshiki Takaya's Guyver series.

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Speaking of Guyver, did you get the review?

[ingriam.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes I did. :D :D :D Loved it; thanks lots! :D

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Was my pleasure as always. DO correct chapter (my memory she is fried off by the heat) 24? whatever, the doubled one. :P

Will start the third one. Is it finished or not?

[ingriam.livejournal.com]

Unfinished. I don't know when I'm going to get either of them done, but I'll let you know when they are.

I don't really know what to do for 24, though. I looked it over; but I couldn't figure out what stuff to remove. Was it the dialogue, or the narration that was the problem?

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Hey, sorry. You're right, chapter 24 now looks alright to me. The first time I read it, it was doubled. I may have been allucinating, one never knows, or FFN may have been acting up. It's perfect now, sorry I confused you.

'm I forgiven?

Do let me know if you finish them, but don't worry. I'm the Queen of Unfinished Fics, y'know? I do understand how it may happen. :-D

[ingriam.livejournal.com]

Forgiven. :D

I'll let you know when I get them done; would you like me to tell you when they're updated, too?

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Oh, bliss! Forgiven! :P

Yup, give me a head up.

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

HA! Defensive! What did I tell you? :P:P

[ingriam.livejournal.com]

Buh?

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Sorry, aimed at baeraad. Should have said so in post.

[baeraad.livejournal.com]

Not defensive! (well, not this time) Just a bit antsy about bringing up the subject, since it would be very hypocritical of me to voice my pro-Donaldson sentiments loudly after I've specifically asked you to take it easier with your anti-Donaldson sentiments. ^_^;

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Was just teasing you.

Luv, mi casa es tu casa. In other words, please NEVER feel constrained when posting in my LJ, fuck knows I'm never even remotely constrained on yours.

NOT being hypocritical, refraining from insulting/hurting/irritating people I like and respect is not 'constraining' myself in any sense of the word.

[baeraad.livejournal.com]

You're a Good Sort, Jane. (*HUGS*) :)

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, don't get carried overboard. *does scary things with whip*

:P:P:P

HUGZ

[baeraad.livejournal.com]

Fine - you're a Good Sort with a few kinks. ;)

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Ahem. Thank you so much.
