Bunny in progress
Crossover Harry Potter/Practical Magic (Surely this has been done before? Did no one else think Gilly should have been a Slytheren – just from the snake tattoo alone?)
AU, of course, starts two years before TSS, but possible spoiler of all seven books… or is that eight since PM should be included.
Warnings: violence, death, slash (surprised? I didn't think so)
Suggestions for title appreciated – preferably something not beginning with letters 'RE'
( Story - part one )
Unrelated - part 38 of Reconciliation is up here http://community.livejournal.com/humaninterest/ |

Okay so I was saving a doc an clicked wrong on the mouse and moved the file I as saving it to inside the file next to it... no big deal I think, I closed the doc and tried to just move the file back to where it came from.... whimper. It's gone. I tried to search for the docs in it, I checked the recycle bin, I though I
found in ready to be burned to disk but when I tried to move it back its gone... I even ran a system restore from this morning ...
Have I lost everything... is there any hope at all of getting any of it back...?
I have Reconciliation saved to my LJ memories... so I don't have to hunt that down, but all the notes and scene snippets I had completed for future chapters... whimper. It will probably be better for the story if I start them from scratch, but I was attached to some of them... like when Jake and Heph got their first place together.
Any ideas at all.... is there a program I can buy online and download to rebuild the files... or is it to late since I did the restore? |

For those of you not currently caught up in Brokeback Madness – I'm writing an AU on an AU over at the Human Interest Community – its on chapter 20 as of today
http://community.livejournal.com/humaninterest/
I seem to write more the worse the outside world gets – that's probably why my stories are all sweetness and light, its escapism
( Family Crap )
And to that nice man who sent me the e-mail about not letting people make me feel guilty for not writing faster. Thank you. Kind impulses like that often go unspoken, give yourself a karma-cookie, and may you too get a hug when you most need it. |

Reconciliation Cast List
'Reconciliation' is fanfiction based upon the fanficitons 'Human Interest' and 'Two Crows Joy' pieces which were/are written/being written by MadLori. Those series are based upon the movie/story 'Brokeback Mountain' and create a rich AU of what would have happened Jack and Ennis had built that sweet life together of which Jack always dreamed in Farmingdale, Vermont.
So some of the characters herein belong to Annie Proulx and others to Lori Summers and some just wandered out of my head. This story starts about two years before 'Human Interest' and due to the events in this story people and events in those stories would be different. (which means that while Lori is more than welcome to have her way with any of the OCs in this, events/people here will not be influencing or altering anything she plans in that world)
Eventually this will be posted on my site http://wordsmith.populli.net/ but is not there now… nor will it be until it is finished and cleaned up.
This is completed (I think) as of chapter 17

Now I feel massively guilty for not being more patience. I realize this has hit him totally out of the blue (that's sarcasm, you smoke 3 packs a day and have a triple bypass and several strokes, and you know you've pushed the odds) but he is making me crazy.
I leave at 5:30 AM & get home around 7 PM – 4 days a week. I do not like this schedule but it leaves me a day to schedule his doctors' appointments and other things that are hard to do on weekends. Before I even get the door closed he is screaming for me from his chair (he is perfectly capable of moving around the house he just has this super recliner and he prefers to stay in it about 90% of his waking hours) – he needs me to call on two bills he received (he's also perfectly capable of using the phone, except he yells at recordings).
If he could figure out a way to send me to the bathroom for him – he would.
Please go read 'Reconcilation' over at http://community.livejournal.com/humaninterest/ (of course you'll have to read "Human Interest" first or it won't make any sense since it is fanfiction of fanfiction) and tell me you love me inspite of my typos. |

Well. Dad has lung cancer. The PET scan also shows it may have spread to an area of the tongue. (ack, ewww) He is scheduled to consult with the specialist on the 23rd... I think brother is taking him - he is better behaved with brother and listens to him. I feel so bad for him... Dad is afraid of pain, needles and pretty much deals with anything bad by just avoiding it.
The oldest nephew called him today. The kid has been out of jail for weeks and made no attempt to call or just send a card to say 'I know you worry about me - just wanted you to know I'm okay' but then for the 3 months he was under house arrest across town he called the old man once. Dad told sister yesterday so she must have told sister-in-law which prompted the call, since none of the kids call or visit their grandfather (they all are within 10 miles of him) because he will not disown/turn on their father.
I need a new job and to get the hell out of town. Dad is the only one keeping me here and at his age and with cancer...
So, where would a good place to move to be? Let's play 'anywhere but here?' |

Anyone (like me) who sobbed publically during 'Brokeback Mountain' and wondered why all of these talented people went to so much effort for everyone to end up dead and/or depressed can find a welcome AU where Jack and Ennis end up together thanks to MadLori a very talented professional writer who has woven a rich tapestry of their day to day lives in 1983 Vermont. Go read, laugh, cry - join in my addiction.
I found it here http://community.livejournal.com/humaninterest/ but, there is a new community just for the series and planned sequel at http://community.livejournal.com/humaninterest/ |

I have hopes she is leaving soon but given that she is not paying for her own hotel, she may never go. She is very disruptive to my dad's routine and although he wants to see her and worries he won't see her again before he dies, she drains all the energy from a room and from everyone she comes into contact with. She is a very difficult guest. I realize the almost 12 years difference in our ages translate to us having very different parents. Just as I am not the same person I was ten years ago the people who raised me were more mature and mellow than the ones who raised her. As such, I grew to adulthood keeping an eye on my parents, knowing there were limits to their physical abilities and they relied on me more than they had on the older kids. She grew up expecting them to do for her and the she need not reciprocate in any way. But most only children or in her case, the oldest with a huge gap, grow out of that center of the universe mentality - I guess it is a little late to ever think that that will happen for her.
Friday, I came home from work (around 7 PM) to find my father alone. Not unusual even with the Sister-monster visiting but he looked so pathetic. He said he didn't feel well and that his throat was so sore he couldn't eat or drink - he hadn't had anything since about 9 AM. She's an adult, granted she never had kids but neither did I and I know how to take care of someone. She just left him their looking all white/grey and drained. She'll be 55 years old in May and later, after I called my brother and the 2 of us took him to the emergency room and had him admitted (with pneumonia) I called the Sister-monster who told me she knew he should go to the emergency room but that he didn't want to. ::Insert creative cursing of her intelligence and judgment::
He was released from the hospital today and is back home, but we have to A) follow the doctor's instructions about medicine ect and B) go in for additional testing as the X-rays of his chest lead them to believe he may be developing lung cancer.
Selfishly I am not ready for him to die. I can't say I ever will be. It's not like a year or two years from now will be any different. I know he takes up a lot of my time, but as much as I bitch about it I like having someone to fuss over. |

Happy Holidays, whatever those holidays may be -
REC/PRESENT to all of Days of Our Unlives - http://www.ficbitch.com/daysofourunlives/frames.html
It has become a bit of a annual tradition with me to pull up this long lovely series and read it this time of year (my version of 'It's a Wonderful Life') I don't know what made me read it in the first place because I am not normally an Angel/Spike shipper (Xander/Spike is my OTP) Maybe it was the title of the site "Sex, Violence, Strip Twister, These Are the Days of Our Unlives", really who could pass that up. It is 43 chapters and covers quite a bit of time but has a hearty Christmas section and Jeffrey and the Christmas cockfight have made me laugh so hard I have hurt myself on repeated occasions. So to anyone feeling a bit blue, or who wants a pick me up, go, read, laugh loudly it will frighten visiting relatives and nosy neighbors. |

The Sister-monster has convinced dad to see the doctor, and is taking him tomorrow morning.
(That spiteful voice in the back of my head tells me that's the least she can do since she whined at him about how much it costs her to come visit until he offered to pay for her hotel AND SHE'S LETTING HIM)
Times like this I wish she and the brother were still speaking 'cause he could shame her with sarcasm. |
