Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings

Ruthless!Remus has been around quite a lot recently. About time, too. Would you believe that when I first started reading HP fanfiction, I seriously wondered whether it was an established mythological fact that "werewolves mate for life"?

An excellent example of Ruthless!AndYetCanon!Remus is mousapelli's The Most Riduculous First Name I've Ever Heard. After reading the fic, I forced a Remus discussion upon mousapelli, the result of which can be summarised in a few words: Remus is a friggin' psycho. Forget Snape and Sirius. You want a deranged man? Go for Mr. Lupin.

Some weeks ago I was indulging in reading essayel's fics on ff.net, and apart from laughing my head off at her parodies, I realised that I very much enjoyed the (non-sexual) interaction between Remus and Draco. There don't seem to be many Remus/Draco fics around, and so I had to write my own. It is not pretty, and not quite as smutty as one might wish for. I can't bring myself to write inter-generation sex, I'm afraid.

To finish this highly chaotic post on a completely different note: I decided to enhance my friends list tonight by adding a number of people whose LJs I've been checking frequently because I like:

a) their fics
b) their recs
c) their artwork
d) their opinions
e) their interests
f) them

'kay?

The way I spent last weekend might be a good hint as to what my priorities are: In spite of all this important work awaiting me on my desk (and my computer), I drove 350 kilometers to get to a party on Saturday and drove all the way back home on Sunday, where I decided that I was too tired to do anything in the evening, anyway, and postponed it until today. Now there are still things left to be finished before I'll leave for England on Thursday. Tedious, annoying things such as writing three pages of company profiles for work, starting working on the film reviews and actor profiles for the other work, filling in boring forms for the tax office (who's been perstering me for ages now, because apparently I always get things wrong), and preparing for an important meeting on Wednesday. But seeing as I've got my priorities right, I will instead:

a) add LJ users to my list of friends (so if you suddenly find yourself on the list, it's most likely because I enjoy your HP slash)

b) start editing my Snape/Black fic

c) sketch an outline for my Tonks/Ginny fic and my Buckbeak/Padfoot fic (the latter one started me worrying about my sanity, but still, I feel compelled to write it)

d) post my Remus/Minerva fic:
