When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

WIP, huh? Yeah, we got lots o'that!

( Witchblade fic I haven't looked at since second season made me WTF? )

( Coming of Shadow, Promise of Light -- Marauders-Era Potter fic, derailed by stupid revelations of character in Book 5 )

( Waking the Circle, DiR fic not so much abandoned as being stonewalled by a stubborn Welsh bard )

( Dark is Rising fic that I had the good sense not to post as a WIP )

( Sirius didn't go after Peter AU, abandoned, though I do like the opening... )

( Night of Sorrow -- original fantasy piece that started - believe it or not - as one of those stupid 'use these vocabulary words in a story' assignments )

( Sailor Moon, scrapped all but the best bits upon realization that it was unconciously duplicating someone else's story. Now trying to retcon a plot. )

There are a couple more I wanted to post, but it seems they only exist on physical paper at the moment. Perhaps later I'll type a bit of them up and post.

(gakked from psyla)

So I went and took the quiz at http://www.personalitylab.org/tests/ccq_hogwarts.htm, and it came out Ravenclaw! That's the first time I've ever returned a non-Gryffindor result -- or maybe there was one Slytherin in there somewhere... -- anyway. Final results were:

95% Ravenclaw
90% Gryffindor
83% Hufflepuff
40% Slytherin

I might try it again in a couple days and see if I turn up the same results. It's a very different sort of test than other Sorting Hats around. For starters, there are 112 questions; the most I've ever seen before was about 25.

Oh, by the way, agatha_b, it seems you have a fellow Hufflepuff out there in the form of psyla.

In other news, the rooms are entirely painted (although the bedroom seems to be rather blotchy and is requiring another coat) and almost all the trim is done, too. I also got a nice desk for the study. But no chair. And no bookshelves, yet.

And, last night I was assaulted by a story! Or more accurately, by a chapter of a story that I've been trying to write for... uhm, I think about 4 months now. It's still in fragments, but I have about 500 words, which is 497 better than I'd been able to do in the last 4 months. Yay!
