Fic: The Unintended - for Shadowclub

[brighty18.livejournal.com]

Title: The Unintended
Author: brighty18
For: shadowclub (a fellow Ohioan!) Happy holidays! I hope that you like it!
Rating: PG13 (for swearing, non-graphic underwater wanking, rude mistletoe, and implied sexual activity)
Prompts: Remus finds himself locked out of the room in nothing but a towel and Sirius gives the worst gifts. Fond of dialog, comedy, and drama.
Summary: Remus becomes the unwilling victim of a prank intended for James and engages in a perilous journey from the Prefects’ Bathroom to the Gryffindor Common Room. Other characters include James, Lily, (implied) Peter, Moaning Myrtle, the Mermaid’s Portrait, and some random, over-sexed Ravenclaws.
Disclaimer: These characters are not now, and have never have been, my property. All belongs to Rowling.

With apologies to Jane Austen…

( It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman, in possession of a secret should allow it to remain so.  )

Title: Of Love and (Mis)Understandings
Author: theatresweety
Written for: batmanboxers / dalekdisaster
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: 2) A fondness for Doctor Who!
Summary:Doctor Who. " "Well, then that's a bloody stupid title for a show," he huffed, thinking himself quite amazing for that deduction.
If Sirius wasn't mistaken, he thought he saw a slight twitch start to form above Remus' left eye. He flashed a wicked grin. He'd made that twitch. "
Any other notes, warnings, etc.: A bit of boy!kissing and cuddling, that's all. And, I don't own them, don't sue me.

The First Deadline Approaches!

[smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com]

Hello Everyone,

1) The Deadlines

The deadline for first-timers at rs_small_gifts will soon be upon us. Anyone who has not participated in the exchange in the past should be planning to submit their gift by Sunday, November 30. If you need an extension, please let us know as soon as possible.

The deadline for returning participants is December 7.

If you are offering a second gift, you do not have to abide by the same deadlines for the second gift. Second gifts do have to be posted before December 30th and we ask you to give us an estimate of when you will have it completed so that we can stagger posting.

2) Posting

When you post your (beta'd) fic or art work, it will be entered into a moderated queue and beginning on December 1st, we will select a couple of gifts to post each day. A few things to remember about posting:

-Guidelines for posting and a text box for headers can be found HERE.
-Please check the formatting of your gift by choosing the "preview" option on your journal before you post. If you do post and there are formatting problems, we will reject it so that you can post again. If you notice before we do, please let us know.
-If you have trouble posting, let us know. If you need help with html, mindabbles has a handy little guide for html basics for the formatting challenged (and by that, she means herself). Comment with your email to this post if you would like it.
-You will not be able to post a second gift until your first one is out of the queue.

3) Betas

If you are a writer, please use a beta. If you can offer to beta for someone else or need one, drop by the Beta Lounge. If you have trouble finding a beta, let us know.

ETA If you need to contact us regarding the deadline or with any other questions, you can comment here or email us at smallgiftsmods@gmail.com.

Happy Holidays everyone!
