New layout, new OTP and searching for new fics.

[starsthatshine]

I have gone back to my favourite thing about LiveJournal (besides my flist): icon changing. Seriously, I have probably millions of new icons it feels like and soon I'll do a complete icon make over. That does sound nice doesn't it? Also, there's a new layout in my blog: aliasagent. It's no longer Boxer but Opal. From Mischa Barton to Harry Potter. The colours suck though.

What else? Hmm. I dont have hosting by Fan-sites.org which completely blows because I did do this fantastic layout for my Tom Welling site. I need to either apply back in a while or find someone who's willing to host me with about one gig as space and perferrably unlimited brandwith. Which is just as likely as I find a fish in the desert.

I have a new pairing that I love beyond everything else (sort of) - Remus/Sirius (which I guess isn't the most original pairing in the world). I love fics that are set when they are at Hogwarts.... Can anyone rec me those kinds of stories and maybe some good Lily/Snape if you've come across any? I'd love you forever.

pretty layout! :o *pets*

shoebox_project is your number one place for marauders fic! It's awesome. I love Remus/Sirius.

Would be nice to change icons.. but I have now space only for three. :/

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie :) I'll go and friend that community :)

Ohh... Only three? *hugs you* I'll give you wishes of more icon spaces for you, although I can't buy you any myself :) So I'll stand here and wish that you get some more lovely icon spaces.

Ah, my first comment was deleted! Oops. :$

Ok, so I guess now I'm going to second the shoebox_project rec. I could also recommend to you some authors I know of that write purely smut... would you be interested?

As for Lily/Snape... I've been dying to find good fics for this pairing, too (actually, good and angsty would be the right word). It's hard b/c they're not popular b/c of Lily/James, but have you ever read this essay? It's amazing. At the end, there are some fic recs. Not all of them are all that great, but some are definitely worth it.

[moonlite-fading.livejournal.com]

*this (http://www.livejournal.com/community/ship_manifesto/38312.html) essay. Sorry toi spam you! I don't know what's up with me this morning.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

hehe. I loooove spam so there's no problemo :)

Lily/Snape... *sigh* I've been planning for ages to do a fic.... would be interested to read if I wrote? And it's very hard to find fics... We should make people write more of them - very soon :P

That essay made me consider the pairing and then made me a fan. The essay is fantastic is it not?

[moonlite-fading.livejournal.com]

I would absolutely be interesting in reading your Lily/Snape fic! In fact, I encourage you to please, please write it! :D I'm considering writing a one-shot, but I keep getting distracted by other fics and I only have 10 days left before I leave for college, so it probably will never happen. :/

Yes, that essay is what opened my eyes to them, too! After reading it, the evidence was SO clear that I couldn't believe I'd never seen it! I definitely see the infatuation to be more one-sided, but after reading HBP, I am more than convinced that the two of them are connected on a much higher level than just classmates.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Never say never ;) I can write one shots in a day or two so I encourage you to write that one shot.

After HBP I'm more than everlasting convinced, like you, that they are connected. Perhaps they dated in Hogwarts? Or had a secret fling 'cause... Snape's worst memory and the fact that both were fantastic in potions just... says it :P

[moonlite-fading.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I've been feeling horribly uninspired as of late, and I'm working on another fic at this very moment. But you're right - never say never. We shall see. :)

Oh, there is, without a doubt, a connection between Snape and Lily. Aside from the fact that, when asked if either Remus or Snape had a crush on Lily, JKR only answered for Remus and easily side-stepped the Snape part, the whole potions thing is certainly a factor.

I happen to see it as more of an unrequited love, on Snape's part, than mutual, but Lily probably felt SOMETHING, as well. In regards to the pensieve, I think that Lily's willingness to defend Snape probably has a lot to do with whatever relationship they had, especially since she seemed SO surprised that Snape insulted her after she had tried to help him.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Exactly. However, with fanon you can turn that one-sided crush into a two sided crush ;) And I have a pretty good idea on how to make that happen... *feels a half-bad fan fic take form in my head*

[moonlite-fading.livejournal.com]

Very good point! Sometimes I have trouble straying from canon. ;)

I'm sure it's not half bad, but full parts good! (Or something that makes more sense. Heh.)

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

lol. I guess we'll see how it turns out. Although, I can say to my defence that I've never written young!Snape or Lily before so when I publish it, I will have a reason to why it sucks so badly.

[eirian.livejournal.com]

I love the new layout, I adore the header and the colours. I also adore Sirius/Remus and the Marauders, I will therefore third the recommendation for you to go check out shoebox_project. I'm currently on a search for good fic myself, if you happen to find any could you perhaps point me towards it?

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) I'll point you with my fingers and toes to some good fics if I find ;)

[ieleni.livejournal.com]

Lovely new layout, sweetie! :D I'm going to buy myself 50 user pics once I've got that card, you know. I really need that space, LOL.

Why don't you have hosting at Fan Sites? :( *cries for you* You are so good at websites, did Gertie turn you down? In that case - why? I know I'm asking too many questions, sorry.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

*jealous over that card deal*

Yeah... I guess I showed the wrong website to let her look. I mean the layout I did is fabilous ;) lol. You aren't asking many questions so dont worry :)

[ieleni.livejournal.com]

I should never have told you I would get a card right? ;) I didn't even want it until my dad said I can shop on the internet. :D lolz.

Aww that's just sad. :( I'm sure it's fabulous and I really REALLY hope you will find a host because I was so looking forward to see your site!

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

LMAO. Maybe... I'm just so frickin' jealous that I can't see straight ;) Soon you're gonna tell me that you are going to London or New York or somewhere :P

Yeah. I hope I find a host too but I can pretty much kiss the site goodbye... :( It's sad 'cause I have a little waitiing list for people who wants to see it and I'm up to like... five people, who wants to see it.

[ieleni.livejournal.com]

Well you can have 100 userpics and I can't! *jealous* And no, I'm not going anywhere, not right now. *hint hint* LMAO J/K. Jag bytte i kattens låda och jag får inte ens låna 100:- av pappa för det! Taskigt! :P

Yes it's sad. I so wanted to see it! Now you start looking for a host right away, missy, or else...! ;)

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

lol. Jag har bytt kattlådor mycket i mina dagar. Pröva att laga middag istället ;)

lol. I'll go and search for a host right this minute :)

[ieleni.livejournal.com]

Hm, ja det kan jag testa. Jag kan faktiskt laga mat rätt bra. :P

Goodie! :D

[eponinethen.livejournal.com]

Wow, you do change your layout a lot, hehe... But it always looks good so I'm not complaining or anything =)

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

lol. Changing your layout is love ;)

[cheapcrowd.livejournal.com]

I love the new layout :D

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm so happy you like it :) (I made it look like a Hr/H layout on perpose :P)

[tettee.livejournal.com]

I totally love your new layout :D And the colors...


I'd like to have some more icon space myself.. 3 is not much in any way, especially not for people which love icons.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like the layout.

I just found out that I have 100 spaces so I'm happy and lucky. 3 can be really hard to have.

[vibrantsarcasm.livejournal.com]

I love the new layout. I cannot wait for that movie to come out. I've been counting down the days. Because I obviously have no life.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

The movie is gonna be great, I know that. The actors are getting hotter, the ratings are going up... It's gonna be a fantastic movie

[vibrantsarcasm.livejournal.com]

I have no doubt about that.

[motoredxheart.livejournal.com]

i have seen you almost everywhere i go. we have a lot of the same friends and you joined lark_stillness when i first started it. i just had to come visit your journal. so uh, yeah here i am.
i have 1 gig worth of space you can use, but the bandwidth thing is a problem. i have about 30 gig of bandwidth a month, if we can share i wouldn't mind hosting you. i don't have much on my domain, but my site is here-with-me.org (http://www.here-with-me.org). let me know if you're interested.
also i was wondering if you wanted to be lj friends? i added you, hope ya add me back. :)

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Visit all you want :D Hell, spam me up all you want - you are just making me all happy :) Welcome welcome to my journal :)

Do you have any idea how much you are my favourite person right now? *attacks you with hugs and sees how the good karma is flying over you* I'd totally love to be hosted. The brandwith isn't really a problem since 30 gigs are a whole hell of a lot :)

[motoredxheart.livejournal.com]

yey! spammy spam spam. ;)

cool, glad to hear you said yes to the hosting. i will email you with all the info and need and we can set it up asap.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Spam is wonderful in LJ:s :)

Wonderful :) I got the e-mail and replied (naturally) and well.. just wanted to let you know :)

[heaven-eyes.livejournal.com]

OMG, there is *HEAPS* of Remus/Sirius fic. I cant think of any that are at Hogwarts right now except for this :

Tales of a Librarian (http://lowercasek.mediawood.net/botherbother.htm)

I should read more R/S fic. I havent read a lot. I love Marauders ♥

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Wonderful :D I'll sooo read that... I wonder why there are so little of those fics even though they are such a huge pairing?

[heaven-eyes.livejournal.com]

I really don't know! Well Im not a huge R/S shipper so I dont know all the fics there are..;)

Btw, I love your layout :D

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

lol. Okay :) I know none so you must be a bigger fan than me ;)

Thank you. I'm happy you liked it :) (I made it seem Hr/H on perpose :P It's so damn shame that all ships that I dont ship are so begging to be used as headers or icons. Hell, one time I tried to force myself to be a Spuffy so I could use the icons :P)

[heaven-eyes.livejournal.com]

Lol, you know what, you're making me want to read Remus/Sirius fic. Im going through rec lists and looking at fic instead of doing my awful french assignment!

I think it's really nice! Why'd you make it H/Hr?

There are some really nice Spuffy icons. And there are great scenes too in canon that would make really nice icons :( Ookay, I've never forced myself to like a ship, hee! How'd that go?

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

lol. Go through those recs and point me to something good :P

lol. I felt like it and they were just placed in a such 'Make me be seen' way so... Couldn't help myself :P

It doesnt go actually. You might use the icons and talked like you liked them but you really dont :P

French rocks :)

[heaven-eyes.livejournal.com]

Well, Im not actually reading fic. I'm just looking at it, going 'this looks good!' and adding to to my memories. I might never ever read them, hee. But, there appears to be lots of good fic! Okay, if I find anything good, I'll tell you about it ;) *g* Why is there so much good Harry Potter fic?

Yeah, Hermione is totally clinging on to Harry's arm. But..I am totally not an H/Hr person. ;)

Lol, well, Buffy/Angel all the way :D

French rocks except NOT when Im trying to find french articles on WW2. I cant find any except for ones that you have to pay for! Argh :(

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

lol. Weird way for searching for fan fics :P

Buffy/Angel foreva. Correct :)

Well... I heard there's this thing called books that lives at this placed called library... Have you looked there? :P (sorry, my lame attempt for a joke :P) I be they have... although finding stuff in french might be a challenge.

[heaven-eyes.livejournal.com]

We have to find like newspaper articles but thanks for the suggestion :D

Lol, that's how I usually find fics. 'Cos I cant be bothered to go digging through websites so I look at other people's recs. But it takes a while finding something I like in recs. ;)
