No, I'm not doing the playlist one, because guess what, I am enough of a Luddite that I don't have music loaded on my hard drive, and probably won't until I get a newer computer and the time to set up the equipment to rip all my vinyl collection. I have some GREAT stuff on vinyl.

This is some newspaper's list of the "worst songs of all time," where I confess my guilty secrets by bolding the ones I actually like.

Anything for the woman whose "Slytherin Sky" and "Slytherin Fire" inspired eternaleponine to adopt Evan Rosier for an RPG character, which in turn got me drawn into co-authoring "Immortal Beloved" with her, which made my Snape-muse finally feel content and loved.

I think I put you on the filter that's still able to see the chapters after I locked them against potential mom-viewing, or you can look at Velveteen Thestral (http://www.harpertwilight.com/characters/evan/vlvteenthestral.htm) archive, if you want to see how we've played with your Evan.

Switchknife recced a new one of yours, I think, or someone did, anyway, which is how I discovered you had an LJ. So of course I had to friend you, out of deepest gratitude!
