I'm too tired to write any of the posts I would like to right now, so I'm going to talk about more Phoenix Rising planning.

I want to be costumed for everything except (assuming they get accepted) my workshop and fanfiction presentation -- it's important to me to be neutral for those two things for different reasons, that I think should be obvious. If I get to do the fanfic presentation, I'll probably wear my sari, because it is not everyday-wear for me, but also not a costume and no HP specific.

Anyway -- my full men's Regency outfit with scary horned leather mask will be perfect for the ball. I will probably wear my silver Regency gown to the opening feast. I'll probably wear my Severus stuff for all in-hotel con stuff otherwise. the real problem is off-site events: I'll probably get a better handle on that when I hear what other people are doing -- but there's also the temperature isue. I've been to New Orleans in May and it can be brutal, and while Kali might well find the idea of Severus swooning hillarious, I don't. Okay, i think it's hillarious too, but not when it's me having heat stroke. I should do a basic Slytherin Hogwarts uniform probably too, if I want to be a little more chill than the layers and layers of potions master armour.

It's going to be wonderful dressing in all the weird ways that suit me best for days on end.

Also, dude, Kali's Internet is restored. Descensus RSN.

I MUST go to the tailor tomorrow.

(no subject)

I have got to get on a better sleep schedule, although I think it's dependent on my room getting cooler. It's a real hassle.

I bought new dance shoes yesterday and then promptly lost them. This is beyond annoying. Kali can testify though at how mellow I was about it, which is nothing more than a product of being gluten-free, which is bizarre.

Phoenix Rising is going to have special wheat-free meals for those of us with allergies, so I need to email them this week and give them the hidden gluten list, or else it might not be as safe as it could be.

Hey, I've found gluten-free sausage! Life is better.

I sat bolt upright at about 6am, as it occured to me that I might have fucked something up in the latest Descensus chunk I mailed to Kali (she's better at cannon than me), but she'll catch it, and if we're disinclined to fix it (which I thnk we should be) I feel like I can make an argument for the way it is. Also played with some Harry/Draco stuff. Don't ask.

I really want to see Mother Courage in Central Park. It sounds like a fascinating, potential disaster of a production, and I actually like Brecht a great deal.

I feel tired and discombobulated today. Not sure why.

Author’s Notes:

If you don’t know what this is, please read this: http://rm.livejournal.com/727358.html

This story was originally written in late-2001; despite a recent tune-up, it is in no way compliant with the current state of the HP universe.

Your feedback and commentary are always welcome, even for a time capsule such as this.

Each chapter of this story has now been tagged. You can find the whole thing here.

If you’re looking for slash, het, poly, Book-6 compliant Slytherin backstory please visit Fascilis Descensus Averno a WIP written with kalichan. It features Severus Snape, Lucius & Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix & Rodolphus Lestrange and Regulus Black and mostly takes place in 1979 – 1981 but has forays both significantly forward and back in time. It is also a multimedia project.
