11:33 pm: Fic: Side Effects, Chapter Six
Title: Side Effects
Disclaimer: I don’t own Final Fantasy VIII or Harry Potter
Summary: After killing Voldemort, Harry had planned on taking a long overdue vacation. However, Harry is Fate’s favorite toy, and she has plans. Two hexes and an accidental portal later, Harry finds himself dropped in the middle of another reality where people fear magic and a Sorceress is intent on taking over the world.
Pairings: Ron/Hermione, hints of Squall/Rinoa and one sided Quistis/Squall
Warnings: Swearing, death, violence, and eventual slash as the main pairing.
Author’s notes: I like to think the wizarding world is less prejudiced than the muggle world. Realistically, my best guess is the only stupidity they don’t share with their muggle counterparts is hatred based on skin color. Unfortunately, they’ve replaced it with hate based on bloodlines. So, um, yeah…as much as I’d like Ron in this story to be the open minded person I wrote him to be in ‘A Polyjuice Mishap’, he’s not. Although Ron’s not as bad as I thought he was going to be.
Chapter Notes: As I’m trying to work the little glimpses of the HP verse into the story instead of having them as intermissions or breaks, this chapter starts off with Ron and we find out who made the photo album, then it goes back to the prison where Harry’s presence creates the first major hiccup in the FFVIII timeline (which allows me to tackle two of the things that always bug me when I play the game).

01:48 pm: Fic: Snapshot Sixteen
Title: Snapshots
Disclaimer: I don’t own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter.
Notes: This isn’t what I wanted when I originally plotted this one out, but it introduces Yumiko and she’s turning out to be a semi permanent fixture so I’m sticking with it.
Snapshot Sixteen: Explosions

06:40 am: Calmer than yesterday, but...

Now that I'm not stuck in 'Oh God, I don't want to do this!' mode and researched for more than ten minutes what went on during the past couple of days and took some time to think, I'm a whole lot calmer but a bit more pissed off at the massive stupidity of people in general.  Specifically, I'm pissed off at the owners of LJ and their imitation of fanfiction.net when it's being stupid.  I'm also annoyed some moron who shall remain nameless who decided screaming FIRST! was an appropriate response to the apology post.   I'd also like the smack that woman from the vet's office, but I'll be the first to admit that's a completely emotional response that needs to be restrained.

I started posting here because ffnet has/had (I haven't heard about any account/story deletions lately that have no real reason behind them, but I haven't exactly been active at the Pit lately) the habit of deleting people's work without checking if the complaints are valid.  I wanted to be surprised LJ did the same, and I guess I was a tiny bit, but I'm really not.  People do rash things when their income is threatened, and a group of morons threatened LJ's source of income.  

I'm a realist most of the time.  I'd like to think my refusal to renew my paid account would have an impact.  Realistically, I don't think it would.  I'm one person among millions.  A number of people are completely moving to other sites; I'm tempted to move to another site.  But I don't think it's going to be enough to make LJ realize how badly they screwed up, as they now have advertisers to back up our money.  They mess up again and more people leave, then they might have some idea.

Free speech is important, but it ends when one person threatens another, whether they're an adult or a child.  LJ attempted to curtail some of the more dangerous people using their site.  I commend them for that.  However, the way they went about it was extremely irresponsible.  Not only did they suspend/delete many innocent people's accounts/communities, they let the predators know what not to put in their profiles and to friend-lock their journals so others who stumble across them don't have the information they need to report them to LJ admin and/or the police.  For that, LJ's owners won the second place spot in the Darwin Dumbass Awards, internet only version.  First place is a tie between the morons who started this whole thing and the creators of FanLib.  LJ's owners also made the mistake of going to the media before us, but in the grand scheme of things that mistake is minor compared to the other, much bigger one.

With all that said, I am, for the moment, sticking around while posting at other sites as well.  I'm still going to use this site and post here, but I've also started journals at other sites to test them out and see which one I like best in case something like this happens again.  I may or may not renew my account here.  I find the ads annoying, but I'm also comfortable here.  Right now, it all depends on LJ's ability to learn from their mistakes and their ability to remember to research is necessary, so the next time a group of nutcases come along LJ knows better than to react from the gut.

ETA:  http://news.livejournal.com/98733.html?thread=47214509#t47214509  Frickin' Hilarious.  Not for kiddies 'cause it's porny.  Someone was gonna do it eventually, I'm just glad I saw it.  I needed a laugh.

05:35 pm: Hello
I'm from LJ. I wasn't personally affected, but I started my LJ because of the stupidity of FFnet and their habit of deleting stories and accounts without checking if the report was accurate. Here I am again, doing the same damn thing all over again because LJ didn't bother to double check the journals and communities they were deleting. Go figure.

Anyway, my name's Kelly. I write fanfiction, mostly Harry Potter and crossovers, a good bit of slash and a little bit of het. Like my LJ, this will probably be a mostly fic journal. I'll put up some fics later after I play around a bit and see what I can do here.

07:07 am: Just in case and Nikki update
I'm sure everyone knows about LJ's recent stupidity.  Hell, I just signed on this morning for the first time in days and I found out how bad it was in under five minutes.  Some people are friend locking their journals in case these morons who went on a wide spread report spree try to come after their journals.  From what I understand, though I might be wrong, these people are hitting google and other search engines, searching for things on interests lists and reporting the LJs that they get.

While I'm cleaning out my interests list (not like there's anything particularly damning in there but my momma taught me never to underestimate stupid people in large groups), I'm not friend locking this thing.  Nothing I have here could be considered above an R, and I personally think that's pushing it.

However, just in case, I did get an account at Greatest Journal.  I'll upload everything there over the next week.  So if for some reason this thing disappears, my fics will soon be at  http://brennanight.greatestjournal.com/  There's nothing there now, but tomorrow or much later this afternoon there should be.

On a more personal note, I'm taking Nikki to the vet in a few minutes and having her put to sleep.  I still don't like it and my gut is screaming its wrong, but she's into much pain for me to be selfish.  I'd like to get back to everyone personally, but I don't think I'm going to be in the mood when I get home.  So thank you to everyone who helped me stop and think about everything clearly.

12:09 am: Title: When I Grow Up
Disclaimer: I don’t own Harry Potter or Final Fantasy VIII
Summary: It’s time for first year Garden cadets to pick their weapons, and Harry is forced to accept something he’d rather not.
Warnings: Nothing much, just some morbid thoughts from Squall and Harry.
Universe: Connections
Timeline: This falls between ‘Little Terrors’ and ‘Nightmares and Chocolate’. Squall’s been at Garden for six and a half, maybe seven months and Harry’s been back in the HP verse for roughly six months by this point.
Author’s Notes:  Something involving Harry and the Dursleys pops up in this that I didn't know about.  When I tried to take it out, my muse said no, it was staying.  Then she provided me with another little story that gives a little background on what happened.

10:08 am: Fic: A Flip of the Broom
Title: A Flip of the Broom
Disclaimer: I don’t own Harry Potter or Final Fantasy VIII
Summary: A flip of the broom. In Quidditch, it’s a sudden gust of wind that can make or break a game. In life, it’s a twist of fate that can change everything.
Author’s Notes: I feel icky since this idea smacked into me while writing Side Effects. It just…*shudders*. I feel like Side Effects is incest and I know it isn’t. Also, this plot bunny is free to anyone who wants to adopt it. I might write more in this universe one day, but I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

10:04 am: Real Life rears its ugly head, and fic progress update

I'm putting the first part here because I keep getting 'Are you stupid?' looks and various forms of "You do know she's like six hundred in dog years, right?" from my mom and friends for the past month and a half.  I really need to get a journal for RL stuff.  Feel free to skip it.  I just needed to get it off my chest without getting The Look.

Okay.  Okay...

Chapter Six of SE is roughly half done, but I might have to cut the latest bit and redo it as it's refusing to go the way I want it to.  This muse is occasionally taking trips to the future and binged on chocolate a couple of days ago, hence I have their first kiss written and some of the lead up, but not much extra stuff I can use for this chapter.

My muse for Snapshots is skipping through time again.  I have stuff for later, but the next snaphot is still in its rough outline form with bits and pieces.  Connections is doing the same thing, but I haven't been posting that in order to begin with, so there will be one from that verse later today, just not the follow up to 'A Furry Perspective' but something that comes earlier in the time line.  The follow up to Furry will be split into two pieces, I think, with one from each universe.

The immediate follow up to Unfulfilled Wishes is almost done, so that will be up tonight or tomorrow.  I also have another FF/HP bunny I'm posting right after this I most likely won't be touching again anytime soon.  If anyone feels the urge to play with it, go right on ahead.  Quite frankly, I'm disturbed by it.  It interests me, I just can't write it without getting the willies because of Side Effects.

I have a couple of little one shots in the works, one of them is a sequel to one of my fic reacts and is currently titled Living Family Portrait, that I'm working on.  I should have those up sometime in the next two weeks.

I think that's everything.  See guys in a few minutes.

09:57 am: Fic: The Furry Perspective
Title: The Furry Perspective
Disclaimer: I don’t own Final Fantasy VIII or Harry Potter.
Summary: What happens when someone attacks a sorcerer with Legilimency?
Universe: Connections
Author’s Notes: My cat prompted this one and is completely responsible for it being from Rabbit and Angelo’s POV. Mr. Cuddles talks to me a lot, and I keep wondering what he’s saying. You know, other than, “Hey, human slave, my litter box smells and I knocked over the dry food. Clean it up. And pet me when you’re done.”   And yeah, I'll admit this one is a bit silly and strange.

07:21 am: Fic: The Clock
Title: The Clock
Summary: Minerva McGonagall’s answer to Jack’s job.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Stargate SG-1 or Harry Potter
Warnings: Spoilers for ‘Fire and Water’…but you might need to have seen this one to get the story. The basic plot line of the episode is Daniel was kidnapped by an alien and Jack, Sam, and Teal’c’s memories were modified to believe he had died.
Timeline: Follows Second Chances. Takes place during ‘Fire and Water’, episode 12, season 1.
Author’s Notes: Okay, bunny breeders, it took longer than I thought (I was distracted by a bunny from the Connections ‘verse), but here it is.

12:42 am: Fic: Second Chances
Title: Second Chances
Summary: Petunia’s dead and Minerva’s not taking any chances this time. She’s placing Harry with someone who won’t risk loosing a child a second time.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Stargate SG-1 or Harry Potter.
Warnings: Implied child neglect and verbal abuse with some definite hints at rough treatment bordering on physical abuse. Basically, everything implied in the books, just more of it. (You know, trust issues aside, I still can’t figure out how Harry came out as normal as he did.)
Pairings: Petunia/Vernon mentioned.
Timeline: Sometime between the movie and the first episode of the Stargate series. The HP timeline is screwed all to hell.
Author’s Notes: Oddly enough, this was inspired by a story with a Jack/Harry pairing and my inability to see the relationship working because Jack would see Harry as a kid. The vague car crash idea from Curious Little Seer got moved into this.

03:41 am: Title: Revenge
Disclaimer: I don’t own Harry Potter or Yu Yu Hakusho
Characters: Kurama, Yusuke, Hermione, Harry, and Kuronue
Pairings: Kurama/Hermione
Warnings: Mentions of kidnapping and slash.
Author’s notes: OMG!  I killed my keyboard!  With my ice pack!  *whines*  I hate the old keyboard.  It's so small and dinky!

03:39 am: Drabble: First Kiss
Disclaimer: I don’t own Harry Potter or Yu Yu Hakusho
Summary: The first might not be the best, but it’s the most important.
Characters: Hermione, Kurama.
Pairing: Kurama/Hermione, a little Harry/Luna

Snapshot Title: Remembering

11:05 pm: Snapshot Fourteen
Series: Snapshots
Disclaimer: I don’t own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter.
Notes: Snapshot Fourteen
Author’s Notes: Someone asked why Sirius and Harry didn’t live in a bigger apartment since Mrs. Black was dead. I couldn’t remember a canon date for it, only that she died while Sirius was in prison, so I checked it out on the Lexicon. It turns out she’s been dead since 1985 (probably kicked the bucket right around the time Sirius hightailed it to Japan). So, for the purposes of this story, Sirius didn’t feel comfortable coming back at all until Dumbledore backed off. On a side note, I really get a kick out of making up goblin names and the odd little stories behind them.
Snapshot Title: Bumblebees

03:06 am: Title: A Slice of Normal
Disclaimer: I don’t own the Harry Potter books.
Summary: Somewhere out there is a Harry Potter who never heard of Voldemort.
Author’s Notes: I’ve never been able to enjoy an AU high school HP fic, so I challenged myself to write one to see if I could. This is as close as I could get.





Tags: au, hp, one shot

02:37 am: Title: Unfulfilled Wishes
Disclaimer: I don’t own anything in here.
Summary: AU: Every child has a special wish they desperately want granted. Harry and Irvine’s just happen to be a touch more complicated than a pony or a new video game.
Warnings: a curse or two, and some OOCness because this originally was never meant to go beyond my scrap folder.
Fandoms: Harry Potter, Final Fantasy VIII, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Author’s Notes: I was playing around in my scrap/rough ideas folder and found this. Before I knew it, I started cleaning it up a bit and playing with it, and it developed into a one shot. This is the path Connections almost took.

01:41 am: Fic: Curious Little Seer
Title: Curious Little Seer
Summary: Harry liked to poke things.
Disclaimer: I don’t own the Harry Potter books or Stargate SG-1
Characters: Daniel, Harry, Jack and Sha’re mentioned
Timeline: Definite AU for both universes
Author’s Notes: To me, it feels like there is more to this, but nothing’s coming.




Tags: crossover, gen, hp, one shot, sg1

04:25 am: Title: Fragments
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Harry Potter belongs to Rowling and the Kingdom Hearts games belong to Square Enix and Disney.
Summary: As Naminé steals Sora’s memories away, what happens to the memories of the people he saved?
Characters/Pairings: past Leon/Harry
Series: Not really, but it could be looked at as a sequel to ‘Too Much Information’
Author’s Notes: I’m supposed to be working on Side Effects…
