emony linked to this text HHGTTG game. I need sleep but I somehow can't stop.

elspethsheir linked to the The Encyclopedia of Silly Sex and worst romance book covers, both on a romance books website.

"He could feel her tensing within, and then her quivering little flutters of satisfaction as she crowned the head of his manhood with her own sweet honeyed libations of pleasure. The warmth of it sent him out of control, and his own love juices burst forth in greater measure, searing her hidden garden with an intensity of ecstasy. . . ."

"I could not allow anyone else. . .to plow a furrow in your love fields, my darling"

"Your love juices have begun to flow, sweetheart."

Hidden garden...love juices...plow a furrow...can't breath, laughing too hard...

Now I really need to go to bed and stop flicking between Farscape and the guilt trip that is Red Nose Day.

Fic Rec and Cats

Drive by rec before I go to bed.

No. 12 in a Series by lykaios. Sirius/Remus. Letters written at two in the morning.

I love this. ♥

We've got two cats arriving at the field in the morning - two black little one-year-old females. They're not feral but they're quite timid apparently. They're rescued and were living only on what they could catch before. We'll keep them in the caravan for a week or so and then hopefully they'll stick around and sort out the rat problem for us. I bought them some fleecy beds today as apparently they like to curl up together in one. Awww.

Now to bed as I'm feeling a bit strange.

Oh, for goodness sake

Okay, so I haven't gone to bed yet. I was reading the Remus/Hermione essay over on ship_manifesto. (Ah, my secret HP het ship, why isn't there more of you?) Anyway, I went to one of the commenters journals and found an absolutely charming rant about Harry Potter of which this is an excerpt of:

I'M SORRY IF YOU DO A LOVELY JOB OF 'BOYSEX' -- IT DOESN'T BELONG IN FICTION WHERE THE CHARACTERS ARE, BY DEFAULT, INTERPRETED AS HETEROSEXUAL. GO READ A SERIES WITH CHARACTERS THAT DO, AND THEN WRITE TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT.

I AM SIMPLY SICK AND TIRED OF WATCHING HELPLESS CANON BE PILLAGED WITHOUT REMORSE TO SATISFY EVEN THE PERFECTLY NORMAL FANTASIES OF (OFTEN) THE FEMALE READERSHIP ENGAGED IN FAN-FICTION. IF YOU WERE TO DO SO TO ME, I WOULD INTELLECTUALLY KNOCK YOUR BLOCK OFF. IN FACT, I PLAN TO FIND OUT JUST HOW ANNE RICE DID WHAT SHE WAS ABLE TO DO TO PROTECT HER CREATIONS FROM THIS MINDLESS SELF INDULGENT BEHAVIOUR. IT WAS A BLOODY BRILLIANT MOVE.

And yes, it's all in caps. Urgh. So apparantly, by default, all HP characters are interpreted as heterosexual. Do you think JKR used a drop down menu like the following for the default sexuality setting of the characters?

And she invoked the name of Anne Rice - Supreme Goddess of Wank. Priceless.
