My journal is mostly friends only. Tell me how I know you and I'll add you. Or ask why I friended you and I'll tell you.

Writing! An Evening at the Burrow
Nov. 19th, 2011 09:52 amSo on the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
wrisomifu front... I finally wrote something! And I don't hate it. Granted, it's not the bleeping femgenficathon story I'm supposed to be writing, but since my muses aren't completely dead, I'll take it. Am considering tossing the femgen story I'd started (which is here, btw, but it needs to be twice as long), and writing something for Downton Abbey from the same quote. I'd do Daisy's point of view. Would anyone be interested in betaing if I do?
Anyway, on with the story. I tried not to Ginny-bash, but there might be light hints of it. I don't hate her, I just think she's like the least ideal wife possible for poor Harry. (As Sarah![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
avonlea_dreamer and I were saying the other day, she's the Miss Bingley to his Mr. Darcy; Hermione's his Elizabeth.)
Betaing/character suggestions/Brit Picking encouraged and you will be profusely thanked. Only pre-reader was hubby. PG rating.
“I don't think so,” Harry replied quietly. It had been a little over two years since Voldemort's death, and his girlfriend made less-than-subtle hints like this around him often. She was clearly dangling for the Potter engagement ring that she knew full-well was in his vault. Somehow, though, something was holding him back from giving it to her. He supposed it was only a matter of time, though shouldn't that thought make him happier?

An Evening at the Burrow
“And someday I'll have your son and we'll name him James, of course,” Ginny gushed.
“I don't think so,” Harry replied quietly. It had been a little over two years since Voldemort's death, and his girlfriend made less-than-subtle hints like this around him often. She was clearly dangling for the Potter engagement ring that she knew full-well was in his vault. Somehow, though, something was holding him back from giving it to her. He supposed it was only a matter of time, though shouldn't that thought make him happier?
“What do you mean? Of course you'd want to name him for your father.” Ginny was clearly surprised and a bit confused.

dynamicsymmetry at Congress wants to take away your internet.Folks, I know you're tired of me yelling at you, but you should be aware that there's a hearing this morning being held by the US House Judiciary Committee on a "copyright" bill that will essentially break the entire internet.
You like the internet, right? I mean, you're here.
From the link above:
This is being framed as an attempt to fight hackers and pirates. Don't buy it. And don't think for a minute that it's going to stop there. This is bad. And at the hearing today, only one opponent of the bill is being allowed to testify.
Please do whatever you can to fight this. Email congresspeople. Sign petitions. Yell about it in every venue you can.
And/or
You like the internet, right? I mean, you're here.
From the link above:
As drafted, the legislation would grant the government and private parties unprecedented power to interfere with the Internet's domain name system (DNS). The government would be able to force ISPs and search engines to redirect or dump users' attempts to reach certain websites' URLs. In response, third parties will woo average users to alternative servers that offer access to the entire Internet (not just the newly censored U.S. version), which will create new computer security vulnerabilities as the reliability and universality of the DNS evaporates.
It gets worse: Under SOPA's provisions, service providers (including hosting services) would be under new pressure to monitor and police their users’ activities. While PROTECT-IP targeted sites “dedicated to infringing activities,” SOPA targets websites that simply don’t do enough to track and police infringement (and it is not at all clear what would be enough). And it creates new powers to shut down folks who provide tools to help users get access to the Internet the rest of the world sees (not just the “U.S. authorized version”).
This is being framed as an attempt to fight hackers and pirates. Don't buy it. And don't think for a minute that it's going to stop there. This is bad. And at the hearing today, only one opponent of the bill is being allowed to testify.
