I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure Tristan as of 5 minutes ago, is now pregnant.

I noticed they were really active this morning, tails twining, swimming round together, his pouch clearly open. So I watched and sure enough, up they went through the water together, most definitely joined and when he came down, he went and hitched with his tail and was swaying back and forth like he was settling eggs. I'm not sure, but I think he could be pregnant...and they've only been in the tank 5 days!!!! I squeaked out loud when I saw them, what an amazing thing to watch, what a privilege!

5 days!!! Randy little buggers...*squeeeeeeeak!*

This is the last time I'm going to crosspost this to ron_draco, weaselandferret and princeandpauper - I feel bad clogging up the communities every day ;) If you want to follow this story, please join/watch mamalazfics for (almost!) daily updates.

Title: Anything You Can Do (3/?)
Episode: #3 - Spotted Dick is the Dessert of the Day
Rating: R - for now
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Ron/Draco
Disclaimer: The characters of Harry Potter aren't mine. I just like making them shag each other. A lot.
Summary: An on-going Ron/Draco. Being the resident 'it-boy' of the Wizarding World, Draco doesn't appreciate it when Ron Weasley stumbles into the scene and steals all his coverage. This means war.
Notes: An on-going Ron/Draco, that'll be updated every other day.
Link: 'How do I look?' Draco asked smugly as he eyed himself in the mirror, smirking at his reflection.

Basically, though, I'm sick and miserable. I've had some kind of gastro thing for the past three days or so. At first, I thought it was stress related, but now I'm not sure, because I'm still ill. My sleep cycle is so fucked up that it's not funny. I'm sort of getting three or four hours here and there every now and then with no discernible pattern. I don't know what to do about it. I went to bed at a decent time this evening, and I woke up three hours later.

( As for Torchwood... )

Happy Birthday, chaotic_binky, the most prolific writer I know!! How do you do it? I hope you have a great day!!

1) io9 has a great review/reflection post about Season 3. Definitely spoilery.

2) ( Torchwood within the British television format-spoilery )

And now I promise to start talking about other stuff!

There were quite a few refs this past week related to the inclusion of "fan fiction" in the latest edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, with the Associated Press, PR Newswire, Canwest News Service, and Reuters all including the term in articles.

There were two refs related to Harry Potter; I expect more in the coming weeks. In a piece on wizard rock for TIME, the often-fanfic-friendly Lev Grossman wrote Potter fan fiction continues to flow onto the Net, extending the Potterverse out toward the horizon in all directions, with the blessing of J.K. Rowling. And, in The National (UAE), Ed Lake ranted a bit about the HP phenomenum: Few literary characters have found themselves the object of such intense romantic speculation – and so much eye-watering fan fiction – as Harry Potter. I'm cutting the dude some slack because apparently he looks like Harry.

Jonathan McIntosh wrote about his mashup Buffy vs. Edward on Women in Media & News: I was inspired by women who have been creating fan fiction as self-conscious creative communities since before I was born. He's so earnest, I want to hit him over the head with a fourier transform. Or give him a cookie.

On American Chronicle, Tracee Gleichner interviewed fantasy author Carolyn Wada, who said, in response to a question about when she started writing, I've always had an imaginary story in my head, every day of my remembered life. A lot of it was "fan fiction," extrapolated stories about He-Man or Transformers characters, for example.

Finally, on Examiner.com:( Six more references! )

Okay, so this is sort of a meme, but this is mostly me needing your help. My life has become kind of stressful lately, and one of the things that makes me calmer is making lists. Today I made lists of stuff to pack for my trip and stuff to do every day up until my trip and then I made a list of lists that I need to make, but I know all the stuff that's listed in my own head, so I need you guys to requests lists from me. They can be real lists or fandom lists or just crazy stuff.
