(no subject)

Now seems like a good time to write. Boss is at a conference and I have no pressing work. Read a pretty good story, called 'cake', on snapeslash. One of those whirlwind PWP's that make me go all hot and bothered. It was a follow-on from 'Lost Feeling', which I wasn't as convinced by. It did though have a wonderful sex scene at the end. The way this person writes about sex just brings it alive. She can make it intense, yet with touches of reality and humour that make me melt.

Very entertained by the nappy-rash of Snape-baby stories on list, although I find the idea of Snape in labour quite brain-boggling.

The Said That Could Not Be Said

"No," he hissed. (somebody wrote this, don't know who).

How do you hiss the word 'no'? Try it, you can't. The best I can do is to wheeze it.

"No," he wheezed. Not quite the same effect. I always thought the safest way was to just have people say things. Otherwise you are in danger of ending up with a veritable farmyard of growling, barking, yipping, hooting, snarling, purring, and not forgetting hissing, characters. I know, I've been on that farm. It's noisy.
