1. First, my BPAL order finally shipped this evening! I am so excited. I can't wait to start smelling all the things!

2. I need a perfume icon or two methinks. I will gift fic to anyone who feels compelled to make me one. *bats eyelashes* I found a couple cool pictures of perfume bottles but I don't know if they are suitable for iconnage, so I'm open to anything. :)

3. Today before I knew my order had shipped I was feeling all impatient to start smelling and reviewing things when I remembered that we do have a couple perfumes in the house right now that I could start with.

However, this perfume deserves a better home than with someone who will rarely wear it and possibly force it to commingle with radishes against its will. Free to anyone in the US (or outside US for my friend's list only) who thinks this might work for them.

4. And now for the fic. I decided that I wanted to accompany each of my reviews with at least a drabble's worth of fic inspired by the scent. So have a double drabble of HP. :)

thelastgoodname wrote Five Times Hermione Granger Punched Draco Malfoy and this is the same fic from Draco's POV.

I have gone completely cross-eyed and simply cannot write any more of my column that's due on Monday.

And yet, every night this week as I lay down to sleep, I have coughed and coughed and coughed until I kinda think my esophagus is eroded. These are not the abs of steel I wanted! So, not really relishing bedtime.

Let's do this instead. Give me a fannish prompt--pairing, character, situation, *something*, and I'll write you one hundred words right now on the spot, insta-fic.

Title: Be One Flesh

Word Count: 1,081

So, I signed up for that Forty and Over Smutathon that kindkit and wisdomeagle are running and the person whose request I drew wanted Lucius Malfoy/Anyone, a sort of Choose Your Own Smutty Adventure. I thought, I can do this, no problem, and then proceeded to write the kinkiest, dirtiest thing I’ve ever written. At first I was all proud of myself. Look at you, Lorraine. With the filthy, filthy mind. You rock! and Ooooh, you’re writing CANONICAL HET SEX! You go with your subversive self. And then when I was done, I started thinking, what if my recipient is appalled by my self-perceived awesomeness? I checked out her journal, which is primarily friendslocked and could determine nothing more substantial than she is gaga for Lucius; then I checked out her fic of which one had some BDSM elements according to the header, but still left me unsure if what I’ve written is something this person would really like to read.

So, here’s my question for you guys: I’ve only participated in one ficathon, back in Aught Five and I don’t really know the etiquette. If you don’t know the person you’re writing for, is the polite thing to do to stay away from kinky stuff in case she doesn’t like it? Should you email the person and say, “I’ve written this fic with ropes and orgasm denial and the misuse of tea. Is that okay with you?” Are you supposed to keep the recipient a secret, which makes emailing her doubly faux pas-y? I need answers. LOL

As a result of my quandary, I’ve decided to just treat this fic as practice for the ficathon and write one of my recipient’s other requests instead.

So, third time's the charm. Yay for lj getting its shit together. LOL

This is for shannon730 in inadequate payment for the amazingly awesome icons she made me, one of which is showcased here. Thanks, Shannon.

I want to write a Snape/James Potter fic, but I don’t think I’ve got the voices or the canon down enough for it. If I could write it, though, this is sort of how I think it would go:
