For sale: One fanfic writer.

Yes, the day has finally come that I have given up all pretense of being a respectable, upstanding citizen and am shamelessly whoring myself out. But it's for charity!!

If you want me to write a story for you, and at the same time help with Katrina relief with no extra effort, here's your chance. I will write anything that I don't list in my "won't write" section, which isn't very much, relatively speaking.

Always wanted to torture me with Dumbledore/Dobby? Here's your chance.

Love Sydney/Sark but can't find anyone who writes it? You can make me do it.

Is your OTP Angela/Brian from "My So-Called Life," but no one writes it anymore because it's so old? I'm your gal.

Or maybe you just want some plain, old-fashioned Draco/Ginny | Snape/Lupin | Harry/Hermione | insert ship here with a guilty pleasure premise that you don't want to taint your own name with. Well, taint mine!

My auction is now up at propheting, and you have until Wednesday at 8 to submit your bid. Now you're probably asking, is that 8am or pm? Truth is, I'm not sure, nor do I know which timezone it refers to, so if you're at all interested in bidding on a story by me you should probably do so sooner rather than later. Unless you're actually going to request Dumbledore/Dobby, in which case, later rather than sooner.

Good luck! (I'm not sure whether I'm saying that to potential bidders or to myself.)

Happy birthday Jade!

Today is the birthday of one of my dearest friends, jade_okelani. She's been the Julius Campbell to my Gerry Bertier, the Bart to my Milhouse, the Monica to my Rachel, the Kumar to my Harold, the Thrall to my Jaina you get the point, for a number of years now. I don't recall how many, but it's somewhere between 3 and 6. I think.

To paraphrase that bastion of wisdom, Jack Handey, this is what your friendship over the years has meant to me, Jade:

The memories of my adventures with you are still a source of strength to me. I remember we'd pile into a car - I forget what kind it was - and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some games there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we read whatever book we read. I remember an older, picky girl we called "Robbie." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess some things never leave you.

On today, the esteemed day of your birth, I am going to name your favorite things. But ah, there's a twist to this game -- I am only going to use the letters of your name! Yes! I know, where do I come up with these fiendish plots?! It's a mystery of life.
