I think it might have been for WIP Amnesty day, but I'm not sure.

[amanuensis1]

Who was it on my friendslist who posted a large chunk of WIP that had heavy influences from the fairy tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses? Because I have this big plotbunny trying to bite my butt right now but need to see how much similarity there would be to that work, 'cuz plagiarism sux.

I'm assuming it was ntamara? She just sent a draft to me for beta-reading.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

AH! That was my first guess, believe it or not, but I despaired of having to go back and pick through all the subject headings. So is it truly an adaptation of that? I'll send her a message too...

[atdelphi.livejournal.com]

It's very faithful - if you've read her "Whitebeard" for the Buggering Bee, then that's about the same closeness of adaptation. Written in the original fairytale style. Er...except with orgying instead of dancing.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Drat. Down, bunny, DOWN! Back to your garden, GIT!

*waits for ntamara's cool fic*

[ntamara.livejournal.com]

I already emailed you on it, but yes that was me (and I'm waiting for Delphi's beta before posting it)

I closed the entry to private because it became unabandoned and I wanted to keep people unspoiled again, but I've opened it up for you if you want to check it out in the meantime: http://www.livejournal.com/users/ntamara/170942.html

so I stay pretty close to the fairy tale, try and tell it in that style, and then lots of smut, and then back to fairy tale ending (sticking to the story as much as I can)

but anyway, as soon as I get it back from delphi the real thing (which has had some changes done) should be up on my journal

*just hangs out there for plotbunny bites, because alas, she has none*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*sends plotbunny to your house* (Look, bunny! See Hannelore's tushy? Bite, bunny, bite!)

Ooo, The The! You've just given me a mad urge to hear that song, immediately. :D *shuffles through CDs*

And do look after your butt. Beware of the bunny, and don't go losing any buttocks - unless it's for serious kink research purposes.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

That, and Uncertain Smile are two very inspiring songs when I wanna write. Or dance. Or anything.

And thank you for the butt concerns. You are a sweetie.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Uncertain Smile by The The? OMFG - NOBODY has heard of The The.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Surprise! Long live 80's music.

[absynthia.livejournal.com]

Ummmm....


*runs and hides sad 80's addicted self*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's only eyebrow-raising if you bought it on vinyl in the last few years, I'd say!

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

How can one connect THAT fairy tale to the Potterverse? o_O

(do you know where I can read it on the web? Last time I read that tale was...god..too long)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Here's an annotated version I found during a quick browse:

You always rise to the occasion, don't you. *pinches cheeks, all cheeks bahahah* :>

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*is pinched and likes it*

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

I know you like it. That's why I'm doing it. Ever your semi sex-slave.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

And my ever-reliable giggle monster, you!

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

Only giggle? I'd say also Monster of the Incoherent Noises. ;D

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

No, you make ME giggle! A lot. In a really good way.

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

*tickles you* gigglegigglegiggle. fuckablefuckablefuckable. >:)

[lunadeath02.livejournal.com]

Hey dear! I have an idea. Will you be interested in having Lupin be the new DADA teacher? The rpg needs one asap, because poor Harry can't do it alone. Dumbledore might owl Lupin (owls are in cuts, btw, and there's no comments) and ask him later today. Would you be interested? *puppy dog eyes* that way he can be interacting with Harry and the teachers more. :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Certainly! That makes a lot of sense, and I'd love to have more interaction time. Tell Dumbledore to send away and Lupin'll respond back.

[harry-j-p.livejournal.com]

Dumbledore owled Remus about two hours ago.... just so you know. :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm lost. I don't see it in the community.

[harry-j-p.livejournal.com]

we don't send owls on the community. It's in Dumbledore's journal. Just go to the community's friends page and you should find it

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

....okay.

I have a biiiiig problem.

I had no idea there was rpg'ing going on in the individual lj's. I thought everything was happening in the_hogs_head.

[lyricalnights.livejournal.com]

Dude, I love "This is the Day!" *scrambles for her copy of Empire Records*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, I so love The The and other 80's phenomenons!

[lyricalnights.livejournal.com]

Sdaly, I didn't even know they were 80s.

Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam

[lagoonlady.livejournal.com]

I'm spamming your journal about two topics totally unrelated to this post. You have my advance apologies.

1) Hey, you joined both groups I co-mod. *squee*

2) Do you remember a conversation we had on your journal ages and ages ago about how the LJ "friend" concept was a misnomer and led to weird misunderstanding and stalking and such? Well, if you don't, it happened anyway. ;)

In case you have not been following LJ news, the powers that be at LJ have finally decided to make major alterations to the friends system. So, if you want some input into what they are going to do about it, you might read and comment:

Re: Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ooh, interesting! Well, I'm not so hung up on the display stuff...but I need to read further into it, I see. Thank you for the heads-up; I wouldn't have known about it otherwise!

Icon Spam

[lagoonlady.livejournal.com]

Your welcome.

Um. I just have to inquire about your icon. Where was this image from? Who are those cosplayers and is there some place I can gawk at them some more...? (I'm really seeing the virtue of cos/roleplay. *snicker*)

I also adore your Frodo kissing Sam icon. So many icons use the image but the text usually is some totally inappropriate quote from a pop song. I mean, using a Tolkein quote on a Lord of the Rings icon... It's practically revolutionary!

(The journal it comes from -- if x_flamingicons_x is an LJ journal -- doesn't seem to exist anymore. Do you think there would be drama if I gacked it?)

Re: Icon Spam

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

The Harry in that icon is played by kamapon, so she tells me! Isn't it cuuute?

And I can't remember if x_flamingicons_x was the full name of the lj user...or just the name s/he wanted to be credited by. In any case, s/he simply asked that that name be used for credit, and of course you may use it! (And I agree with you--pop song quotes on LOTR icons rarely move me. That's why I loved this one in particular!)
