Another weekend gone...

[lightofdaye]

But the question is where. Where has this weekend gone? I'm sure I meant to do some writing. Kinkmeme writing at the very least if not the stuff for harryhetbigbang whose first deadline edges ever nearer.

Instead nada.It's not like i've done nothing. I went around the town centre looking for birthday gifts for a friend. I couldn't find anything new or original gift. So... choccys from the supermarket it is. (nice expensive-ish choccys mind you) And for myself i got a new book, Post Captain By Patrick O'Brien. and I watched a couple of episodes of DS9

And today I did my weekly food shopping and watched Gran Torino on dvd. So I know where the weekend went. I just don't know how no writing got done.



hp_darkfest sign-ups are weird. Apparently there are only mod picked image and quote prompts. Which is sad because I had a couple of prompts I might liked to have donated. I guess I could write them myself but I'm not really a dark writer and i'm not sure I want another fest anyway.

But it looks like i won't have to worry about asoiafkinkmeme distracting me anymore. They're running a two day round this weekend and then shutting down for a couple of months. Still I seem to be totally out-of-sync with the people prompting at the moment anyway.


eta a random question: How do people and the show for that matter pronounce the name Margaery, as in Tyrell. In my head I'd always assumed a hard 'G' like Marr-Gory. But recently i realised its probably just a fantsyish spelling of the name Marjorie.

Good point about Narcissa. But my thinking was also that saving people's lives in HP as we see with harry and wormtail it produces a literal magic bond between them. OR at least that was my reading on Dumbledore's words. It also seemed possible to me that Wormtail didn't intentionally let harry go when he invoked that bond. Which makes his death (all the more tragic for him at least) but that may not be the correct reading of that sequence as intended.

All we see from Narcissa is some low-level pureblood bigotry in a shop and everything else she does is just motivated by looking out for Draco. So I'm guessing she's not a true believer in voldemort's doctrine. Though she was presumably brought up with pureblood=best attitude she's not compelled to actually act on it.



As to Myrcella; Gosh yes. I mean the implications just from Robb not being able to get into the Frey marriage alliance for a start. He either has to find another way across. Or just man up and try to take Tywin in battle.



I did a brief fic for it. But that was just Robb deciding not to chop her head off. Because y'know, he's not a dick. It's another pairing where most of the prompts just put so much of a scenario in, it never works. I like the plot implications. I'd also just like them to bang each other.

I tried to prompt an angst take on the Dacey pairing. The general response was 'but what would be the point?' I may have to fill my own prompts for them though sooner or later.

As for Sansa. I'd like her to end up being happy with Tyrion. And i think now petyr's explained his plan. It's probably

I think you're right about the bond thing, and in the instance between Harry and Wormtail. It seemed like his hand was pretty much out of his control. I remember that scene as being especially creepy.

I'm sure Narcissa is a fairly prejudiced person, it just doesn't seem like she has any aggressive attitudes about it. After everything that's happened to her family I'm not surprised at the disillusioned attitude the Malfoys seem to have. In the end they were very Slytherin in just wanting to look after themselves and not actually caring that much about the ideology.

There are some good Robb/Myrcella stories out there, but not enough. I will have to go look for your fic. Sometimes I really do want an angsty story with some porn thrown in--like that Arya/Benjen fic I wrote. I'm not above filling my own prompts, since no one else seems to write about Jon/Arya like ever.

I'd much rather see Sansa with Tyrion than any of the other options that have been thrown around.

Robb/Myrcella Fic is here I should do a masterlist some time since I have comment fic that's not on my own journal.

I'd write Jon/Arya if only I though I could do it well. Definately see where you're coming from though with it.
