Mil insists you can....

OMG, there's a dedicated domain to Harry Potter fanfic!

I can't actually read fanfic, as bad grammar brings me up in hives, but whenever I check whether certain types of fanfic exists, I'm generally disappointed. For example, when I looked, I couldn't find any Thomas the Tank Engine fanfic.

Oh, here 's the big site I found.

Oh, and by fanfic, I really mean slash.

Search for Harry fanfic slash and see where you may end up (I am not getting sucked into searching right now or I will never be seen again )

NQC, I am the Queen of the Bark Suckers. It's a new cult.

Oh thanks NQC I googled and came up with that site too, but what a load of garbled nonsense. Tamba is much better at it.

Yes, well, the quality of free online Harry Potter porn is about what you'd expect.

Honestly, I can't imagine anyone actually getting off on material that was as badly written as I expect that stuff to be.

What sort of bark, Franny? Link?

So why is there no Thomas the Tank Engine slash?

Wait! There is ! And it's kinda funny and not actually badly written!

(Ok, it's not actually arousing, at least not to me, but still, I'm happy it actually exists ...)

NQC, this thread which I shamefully took over explains it, a bit. I run heuristic play classes for babies and when I was starting it up I was nervous that it wasn't offering very good value for money. I told HC that "sooner or later they will realise £3.50 is a lot to pay to sit in a hall and drink tea while your baby sucks bark". So it sort of got rechristened as bark sucking.

Hey this is the second thread today I have tried to hijack with my bark suckery

LOL at the Thomas fic - that was funny and I think I felt a vague stirring in my engine

I hadn't heard of heuristic play before. But DS2 is an expert. He spent much of this afternoon carrying computer cabling up and down the stairs. In Mexico, he was a big fan of the dust and dirt in the streets, and would often bend down to pick up handfuls of it, to let it run through his fingers, and pick up handfuls again.

You've got it. When you explain to people what it is, they say "Ah, I do that already!"

There are a lot of kids who don't get to play with "stuff", though. Particularly first kids.

I got so fed up, when we were away, of people taking inappropriate things off DS2. If he wants to walk around with a fork, why not?

Harry Potter comes of age - the unread chapter.

Harry potter was dozing by the fire when he heard a noise. He'd been having that dream again, feeling that familiar tingle when he woke up. It couldnt be normal, maybe he should ask Dumbledore - No, something like this he couldnt share with even the closest of friends...

Then he heard the noise again. Could it be? Yes! Dobby appeared in the room almost as if called there by the power of his thoughts alone.

"Harry Potter sir, how dobby has longed to see you. Dobby has been sneaking up here at nights hoping for just a glimpse of the noble Harry Potter"

It was so tempting. Dobby wouldnt argue, he was so eager to please...

"Is Harry Potter alright sir, you look worried. Can Dobby help?"

Harry decided that it was time to take a chance, Dumbledore had told him over and over that his ability to love was what made him who he was, but his need to share that love was over powering. After all thought Harry, Im 17 years old. Im shut up in a big drafty castle with ghosts watching my every move, they make me wear a dress ffs. Its not right, its enough to send any lad a little crazy...

"Dobby, I need a favour... I need a room where I can be alone, where I can be undisturbed, Where i can not be watched..."

He expected the house elfs ears to droop, for him to say he was sorry but couldnt help. Too his surprise though the house elf grinned!

"I know a room where Harry Potter could go! It appears only when needed"

Harry thought he was going to burst with his excitment, He threw on his invisability cloak and tucked his copy of play-wizard inside it. Off they went.

Dobby led the way, twistings and turns taking them all over the castle until finally they came to a door deep in the dungeons of the castle.

"Dobby will leave you here Harry Potter, for us house elves are too scared to enter this room at night time, Good Luck harry potter" And with a loud crack his disappeared.

Harry pushed open the door... and gasped as he looked around, there were soft cushions and silk scarfs, lotions and potiens... Harry looked around and there from the seemingly empty room he heard a voice... "Harry my dear boy, we've been expecting you..."

PMSL Tamba, this is far better than the stuff I have just been reading.

Just a thought, so that is what the Room of Requirement is all about. Wondeful imagination JKR has don't you think? A room where you can go when you need to be alone and undisturbed, with everything in it you might require...

A visit to Hogsmead - the unread version.

The sun was shining on the third sunday of April, Harry and Ginny were looking forward to there first offical date into Hogsmead. Harry had already made a mental note to avoid Madam Pudfoots (The memories of it still made him shudder)

Filch was waiting by the castle doors as they lined up to leave, Mrs Norris was rubbing around his legs as usual. Having cleared the security checks they set off down the path and began the walk into Hogsmead.

They had decided to go to the three broomsticks for a butterbeer, put as they approached the door Ginny pulled him to one side

"Harry, lets go to the Hogs Head, I feel a little wild today - maybe we can even order a fire whisky!"

Harry, eager to keep Ginny sweet, readily agreed. They pushed open the heavy doors and entered the dingy pub. It was almost empty with the majority of hogwarts students prefering the pleasent atmospehere of the 3 broomsticks. Harry couldnt blame them. This place was a dump.

Ginny went to find seats and harry approached the bar. Putting on his best 'big boy' voice he asked for 2 fire whiskys. Eyeing him suspiciously but saying nothing the bar tender handed them over. Harry carefully carried the drinks over to Ginny who took a big gulp and sighed.

"thats better, Im so fucking sick of butterbeer and all the goody goody two shoes like bloody Hermonie. I dont know how you put up with her harry, seriously shes so uptight, she needs a damm good seeing too"

Harrys jaw hit the ground. This wasnt the Ginny he knew. Trying to look cool he took a sip of his fire whisky. It burnt his throat and bought tears to his eyes, he spluttered and was trying to recover quietly when Ginny said "ready for another?"

A few firewhiskys later and the burning had stopped, he felt so happy, Ginny was so funny, The room was so spinney and he had a wand! A real wand! He stood up and wobbled precareously

"I feel sick" he mumbled and headed for the toilets...

After throwing up uncerimonisously into the toilets bown (which must have been bewitched as it would not keep still) he heard the door to the cubicle open. He looked up and saw ginny (well actually he saw two Ginnys but what the hell they were both gorgeous)

"So Potter," she said "how about we cut the crap and you show me the real Harry"

Harry sighed feeling a strange sensation, it was all he could do to nod as ginny lent closer...

Afterwards, walking back to Hogwarts, Harry concluded that this had been the best Hogsmead trip ever! And Ginny - so imagenative, so forward so......

The next thing Harry knew, he woke up in the hospital wing... was it all a dream???

Just to go back to the original post(!?)
I 'm sure I read somewhere that you can, epecially if combined with cropped/ short tops. The reasoning is that the cold causes the urinary system/ bladder to contract and hold onto the wee to conserve heat. This then can lead to a build up of urine back into the ureter and kidneys and cause an infection.

I'm sure this was from a medical page in a "chat" type magazine that also warned against fat chicks wearing too tight hipsters as it can compress a nerve and lead to numb legs!

there is a fic somewhere where Hermionie and Snape get together!
