hello hello.
I promised myself no more memes, but this one looked like fun, what with the surfeit of anonymous fics we shall be having shortly. Also, I never pass on an opportunity to poke fun at my own writing.

10 Ways You Know You are Reading a Fic by xylodemon:

1. Sirius has sex, or tries to have sex, or talks about having sex. Failing that, there's at least one reference to Sirius being naked, or to Sirius having recently been naked. Failing that failing that, Sirius talks about that one time, when he ended up naked.
   
   
2. At some point, someone will end up trapped in a broom cupboard.
   
   
3. While the pairing list fails to mention Remus/Sirius, and Remus and Sirius are in fact shacked up with other people, the Remus/Sirius manages to be implied.
   
   
4. If it's not a threesome, it probably should be. Or, it would be, if the three people involved would stop shagging by twos long enough to sort themselves out.
   
   
5. The POV character is under the impression that Grimmauld Place is trying to tell him something.
   
   
6. James is so far back in the closet he can see Narnia.
   
   
7. The people having sex are not having sex with the people they actually want to have sex with.
   
   
8. Regulus and Sirius are not entirely sure how they feel about each other, or how they are supposed to feel about each other, but it doesn't really matter, because they end up naked with each other, or naked with other people while thinking about each other.
   
   
9. Dialogue and action sequences are interspersed with random commentary on things like the scenery, the décor, the weather, the colour of Peter's socks, and the approximate weight of the most recent uncomfortable silence.
   
   
10. It's all about Sirius, even when it isn't.

I'm sure I missed something. <.<

Since I have you here, allow me point you to some fic, newly posted:

Undercover, by trailingoff
HP | Remus/Sirius | R

See, I wanted a nice, long Remus/Sirius fic before bed. I was all set to read Combat Rock for the second time today, and then this turned up. I mean, I read Combat Rock again anyway, but this is also fantastic and you should go read it now.

Also, the long-suffering and much-neglected rs_prophet is back in business. Under new ownership, of course, because I shouldn't be trusted with the care and feeding of a house-plant. I handed the whole hot mess over to wook77 and thescarletwoman, and it's already got two new issues.
