Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Countdown: 144 days

Um. Lance? I liked you, you fucker. (I want my mummy!)

*eyes bank account* Dear self: You don't have enough money to buy the FotR extended DVD. No, really. No. Really. Edit: Ha! Can borrow it off my coworker. Yay!

Ahahahaha!

Bwahahahaha! (Especially this one. Yes. Yes, you do, Frodo.)

I'm taking a break from the Evil Het Story to write more drabbleage. I still owe people RP drabbles, and then there's the Bodyswitching Story I'm writing purely for my own (and rsadelle's) amusement. Hee!

God, I'm boring today.

Bodyswitching, whee!

I'll trade you some of your caring about writing for some of my not caring, because I now seem to not care to the extent that I don't even want to write anything down, and it's starting to drive me crazy.

Re:

Sounds like a good trade! Would it help if I whine at you a bit about wanting to read all the story ideas you've talked to me about? :D

And the bodyswitching is so much fun to write! Especially cause I'm in third person omniscient POV, so I get to be snarky to my heart's content. Mmmmmm.

[rsadelle]

You never know. At the very least I can tell you all the problems with them and you can help me hash out the bunnies.

I did manage to write a snippet down yesterday, so maybe I'll clean it up and post it when I get home from work.

Yay! for things that are fun to write, and for bodyswitching. (Also, I had a Snape/Hermione bodyswitching thought this morning. Damn you!)

Ahahaha! Yay for sharing the bodyswitching love! I'm telling you, this is one of my favourite freaky plot devices from *NSlash fandom. Love it.

And it works quite well in HP fandom.

"Albus, you have to find some way to undo this." Snape noted that his usual tone didn't work quite as well in the voice of a seventeen-year-old girl.

The beauty of HP fandom is how easy it is to mess around with plots like this. A spilled potion, a spell gone wrong, and suddenly you're in Weasley's body, right Draco?

Draco: *sulks*
Ron: *eyes fingers* Do you manicure these or something?

[rsadelle]

I know!

Um. What if Draco puts his own clothes on Ron's body? And what about Hermione? Or is this a Ron/Draco thing?

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Hermione is highly confused, because Draco-in-Ron's-body is being charming and gentlemanly to her, and the contrast with Ron!Ron (whom she's been crushing on for quite some time) is rather big, and yet she's finding herself oddly attracted to Draco!Ron, and sort of ignoring the fact that he's not Ron. (Did that even make sense?)

Snippet:

There is something inherently dangerous about putting a few dozen teenagers in a room with a few hundred dangerous substances. Hormones and bat ears do not mix, as the most recent exposion illustrates quite nicely. Professor Severus Snape sighs and wades in to do some damage control, and Hermione Granger mentally adds another notch to her Potions Accidents Which Could Have Been Avoided Had People Paid More Attention To Their Cauldron Than To The Person In The Next Row count.

[rsadelle]

Makes sense, and eee! But then how does she react to Ron-in-Draco's body?

The snippet: Ha-ha! I love it.

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Mostly, confused. And Ron is feeling neglected ("She obviously only wanted me for my body!") and Harry is sort of daft. (Which seems to be a theme in my HP stories. Um.)

I really like doing third person omniscient POV, sometimes. It's tricky to know when you can pull it off, but in this case, it adds a certain Douglas Adams-esque flavour to the whole thing. plus, it allows me to be semi-amusing. :D

[rsadelle]

"She obviously only wanted me for my body!"

Quite the ego, eh?

Re:

Indeed.

Ron: *huff*
