It took me long enough to get my hpcon_envy fics done, but done and posted they are. Probably just about in time for the next round for Dragon Con. *rolls eyes @ self* Also, these were meant to be drabbles. Only one came close, and one got completely away from me and threatened to keep going. Oops?

Prompt: Perhaps the moment before Cordelia sees Aral after having escaped her own planet? She's left everything for him, but hasn't seen him yet after having made such an enormous, bridge-burning choice.
A/N: Once I revisited this bit of canon, I realized I had to go a tad earlier, as we actually do get Cordelia's interior monologue as she goes from meeting Count Piotr to finding Aral. Hope this suits.

Prompt: I would love to see what happens when Doctor Ten, Captain Jack and Unspeakable Snape all arrive to investigate the same crime scene/alien phenomenon/magical occurrence.
A/N: Set just before “Reset” for Torchwood, between the “Voyage of the Damned” & “Partners in Crime” for Doctor Who, and way after Deathly Hallows for the Potterverse.

Prompt: The post Voldemort era leaves Lucius disillusioned and (according to Jason Isaac) emasculated - and therefore in dire need to regain his self-confidence/masculinity/virility and a new perspective at the world. Unfortunately, everyone in his own world is too busy building up their life to offer him a helping hand. I'd like to see an encounter between him and captain Jack, a man who has seen it all, done it all but never lost his touch to celebrate life.
A/N: Sometime in 1999, well after Deathly Hallows and before Jack assumes control of Torchwood 3.

Most likely, if you are someone who reads or has fics archived on the Online Wizarding Library or OWL archive, you learned before I did that they will be closing the site effective April 30. But as the announcement was only made via the front page, and I wouldn't have heard if someone hadn't mentioned it to me in chat, it seems worth passing along.

Apparently the site is down right now. This is part of the stated reason for closing: the servers are showing their age. Hopefully it will come back up, as people are trying to save their reviews and fics.

There are efforts on the LJ comm owl_tauri to help authors save their fics, tips on how to save reviews, and that sort of thing. The comm is going to be kept open by juno_magic until January 1, 2013.

While I understand nothing is forever, I am sad to see OWL go.

winkingstar has done podfic of one of the ficlets I did for haro's fandom_stocking. She has a lovely reading voice, and it was a treat for me to hear it read.

The ficlet is Possibilities, which is a G-rated Neville/Luna, and the download link for the podfic can be found here.
