An important announcement

hmpfHP fanfic, or rather, S/R fanfic has corrupted me. Totally. So, today, while I was trying to listen to Dr. Copestake, a pair of muses sat on my shoulders and started whispering to me, or rather, started holding me hostage at wandpoint. . . to write slash. Harry Potter slash.
Laugh if you have to. It might be the best reaction. It's probably what I should have done, although the class would have certainly thought I'd lost my mind (and they wouldn't have been half wrong, either!) Instead, alas, I started scribbling, and I was still scribbling two hours later in 'Introduction to Cultural Theory' (Bourdieu and DeCerteau - see, I *did* listen, at least a little bit.)
Of course, the frelling muses had to turn up at a time in my life when I have *absolutely* no time to spare due to a multitude of demands from too many directions on the sparse time I have left before I leave for my semester in England. Luckily, this Friday through Monday I'll be on an excursion (sharing a tent with someone I can only describe as the last true 'gentleman archeologist'), which would prevent me from getting anything 'serious' done, anyway, and so I'm planning to use what little spare time I will have on that excursion to write. If I manage to sew the bits and pieces I have now into something resembling a coherent story by Tuesday, I may even submit it to the Fill in the Blanks challenge.
Sheesh. I never *asked* for a slash muse, did I?
Let's hope tomorrow's Farscape Season One night won't wake the Farscape muses, as well. I really couldn't feed any more muses right now.
And now, to make up for the loss of time of the excursion, back to my regularly scheduled Zwischenprüfungsvorbereitung. I still have a whole book on the bronze age to read today, and it's already 23:00!

I don't know how soon you're gone, but if you stumble over a Ringwraith there, say hi from me, ok?
My compassion on the book. I am having a test on cataloguing tomorrow and am supposed to have memorized a thick file full of rules and paragraphs...Unfortunately I can't keep them in my brain...*sighs*
Good luck on the test...
Date: 2003-07-02 03:49 pm (UTC)Hey, what do you mean by 'she's just the same...'? That she's a Remus/Sirius shipper? That she's a reluctant slasher? Or that she gets muses who visit very rarely and only at the most inconvenient times? ;-)
I'll be leaving for England in September.
Re: Good luck on the test...
Date: 2003-07-03 02:19 am (UTC)Well, in September I am hoping to have her back, driving me insane.*g*
And thanks for the well wishes.Test was not as worse as I thought.*I* think it went better than feared.Let's see what the prof thinks.;-)
Well, you know what happens...
Date: 2003-07-02 09:46 pm (UTC)Yeah, but I also know what happens if you treat university badly!
Date: 2003-07-08 09:55 am (UTC)Too true
