4:22 pm - Pre-fic study on Steerpike from Gormenghast
Two semesters ago I attended a course called "Academic and creative writing" at university. One of the tasks tapped into the realm of fanfiction: after being told about the rough content of the book series Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake and being shown extracts from the BBC miniseries, we had to imagine why the character Steerpike developed the way he did, from servant to a murdering traitor trying to overthrow Lord Titus.

It's not really fanfic, more the thoughts you have before writing about one character, but I told a couple of people I'd post it here, so here it is.
Please let me know what you think, even if you don't know the books.

What made Steerpike what he is? )

1:23 pm - Wand Meme
Yes, I am procrastinating. Thanks, [info]rakina :)


Wood type: maple
Length: 14 inches
Core: Gryffon Feather

get your own wand!




Maple:

Maple is a favorite wood for magical wands and has an excellent longevity. Maple wood often symbolizes attraction, luring, drawing in, or bringing things together. It has very positive energy. This wand tends to choose those who have a love an appreciation for beautiful things. It is an excellent wand for love spells and also for Divination.

Gryffon Feather:

The gryffon originated in Greece, having the head and front legs of an eagle, but the hind quarters of a lion. Gryffon feathers are used in wands of wizards or witches who posses great strength whether physically, magically or emotionally. These wands are especially good for both offensive and defensive magic.

I like that :)

current mood: should be busy

12:36 pm - My Patronus Quiz






What is your Patronus (from Harry Potter)?




Your patronus is the snake. The snake is a creature often feared and disliked by others, often only because it is so different. The same is probably true with you. Although you have a knack for making people run the other way, you are very intelligent and have tremendous insight into things others can't comprehend. You are secure in yourself. Other people don't know what they're missing.
Take this quiz!

12:31 am - Arrival and art rec
So, here I am, and I had totally forgotten how straining I find the whole process of setting up a journal. Especially as I haven't found out how to make my dear journal all purple. Yes, again. I love the colour.
So... help? Anyone?

What really annoys me is that I can't upload any icons as I don't have access to my harddisk drive and all the great icons waiting for use there.

And just because I don't want my first post here to consist solely of showing off my non-existent computer skills (and computer), click here for lovely DH compliant art work showing one of the many wonderful scenes for Drarry shippers by one of the greatest fan artists, imho :)

She has a journal here, too, but the work is still over at LJ.
