Can you believe it? It's snowing, and pretty heavily too. In Febuary. This is so weird.

On the plus side, Dethryl has finally updated his fic. Chapter 19, We-Hey!

If you don't know Dethryl's fic, shame on you. It's the only Harry Potter fanfiction I read at the moment, a very cool take on the old Harry-in-Slytherin idea. The best yet I think. It's called They Shook Hands, and it's just... great. Perfectly IC with everyone but showing a side to the characters not seen in canon. Harry has a character (Shock! Horror!) and it fits in perfectly. Dethryl's also not afraid to put some seriously AU elements, things that never happened in the actual HP books, yet still managing to tie in the threads (sometimes not particularly gracefully, but well enough that it isn't jarring). I side with the sorting hat on this one, Harry would have done well in Slytherin. Pity JKR's so prejudiced.

Still not off my I-hate-HP-canon binge, don't think I ever will be.

I am 20% White Trash.
Not at all White Trashy!
I, my friend, have class. I am so not white trash. . I am more than likely Democrat, and my place is neat, and there is a good chance I may never drink wine from a box.

Yeps, kendo again, two hours of running around hammering at people with bits of bamboo. But I have finally got my own outfit! The armor's too expensive of course, but I think I'll invest in a shinai soon (the aformentioned bit of bamboo).

Still, the cost of the cloths was pretty steep, £50 including posting, that's a bad dent in my funds, but I love this sport and if the trade off is living off cornflakes for a wekk then I can do that.

Plus, I look cool. It's dark blue, nearly black and it looks like robes... very Raistlin.

I've started work on chapter five.
