Gacked from mctabby by way of lizbee. It's just too bad I don't have the brainpower to be either funny or clever with it, but oh well...

I have a trilogy. It's called Darkness and Light.
It's about truth, and courage, and love.
But really, deep down, it's all about grace.
It might also appeal to readers who aren't afraid of May/December romances.
It has: OCs, Hermione, funny bits, flashbacks, het, Snape, the Sorting Hat, present tense, angst, Draco, true love.
It doesn't have: smut, Time-Turners, spiders, Peeves, slash, cats, Lupin, grammatical errors, the Giant Squid.
It is not a WiP.
If you read it, I'll thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If you don't read it, I'll be all sad and mopey.
If you read and review, I'll write you a gushing letter telling you how much I appreciate it.
And by the way, it's written under the influence of the Bible and Laurie R. King.

Something like that.

You know, if there's one thing D&L needed, it was squid.

::re-considers, then confines squid to scenes in vicinity of lake::

See, this is why I love you. Everybody else who said something was lacking in D&L seemed to think it was the smut. :)

I am now trying to remember if there even are any scenes in D&L that take place in the vicinity of the lake. I think Maud passes it in IWS 6, but in that case the squid's activity would have to be rather limited:

As she trudged up the snowy road toward the gates, a strange sound caught her attention: a wet tentacular slapping from the direction of the lake. She looked down, and saw a large, undulating shadow below the ice; it looked as though the giant squid had risen to the surface and were trying to break through.

How very odd, she thought, and hurried on.

There. Don't say I don't do you no favours.

How very odd, she thought, and hurried on.

If she were Alice, she would have gone in the lake. Though I suppose she had better things to do.

*considers Alice/squid crossover, but only very briefly*

oh, and congratulations on being plagiarized, because I think that's really the only thing one can say...

LOL!

I can live without smut. I have a fair idea of how everything happens; I don't need a play-by-play. But squid, now that's important.

I'd send you a detailed essay explaining why I think the squid is an enormously interesting and attractive character, vastly underappreciated by most D&L readers, but you'd probably just throw things at me. ^_^

WiP?

What is Plot? Where is Pluto?

Surprise!

Rebecca, at the bottom of the page, there is a plagerism reporter. My mouth literally dropped when I saw that. How dare they copy your story! Grrr!

[rj-anderson.livejournal.com]

I looked and looked for the abuse report link, but it's not there whenever I bring up the page -- it just cuts off at the "Submit Review" option. I checked the FAQ, but it helpfully told me to use the same nonexistent link at the bottom of the story pages -- grr.

If the link shows up for you, though, would you mind reporting the violation on my behalf? Or maybe just mailing me the URL for the abuse report page so I can go there and do it myself? Thanks.

Just sent it. Hopefully, this person will no longer have an account tomorrow.

Whoa. You're not a real BNF until you've been plagiarised.

Doingggg! *blinks* I can't believe anyone would be that brash, as to nick an *entire* story like that! Gosh, it makes me afraid to post my stories up there!

I suppose I am naive...
