Quote of the Day

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore.
---Ralph Waldo Emerson


...

You know, Isaac Asimov wrote a story about that. It's called Nightfall. And 'adoration' is not quite the right word for the characters' reaction to the stars.

It's a very interesting story -- so much so that Asimov later expanded it into a book, with the help of Robert Silverberg.

[Fic] "An Ounce of Prevention" chapter 17 -- Naruto/Harry Potter

This is part 17 of An Ounce of Prevention, a Naruto/Harry Potter crossover that I started as a giftfic for askerian.

Technically, it's an insertion of one HP character/plot device into the Naruto world, but that does count as a crossover of sorts. "An Ounce of Prevention" will not affect canon in either series; that is, it takes place during the Naruto timeskip, and significantly before CoS in HP. (Which gives away at least part of the ending, but whatever. *grin*)

( An Ounce of Prevention, chapter 17 )

I had way too much fun writing that chapter... but seriously, what's not to love about Sakura kicking ass? And a cliffhanger. I love cliffhangers -- don't you? *angelic smile*

---------------

Apropos of nothing in particular, I find that I like hand-coding the minimal html that lj doesn't do for you. It makes me stare very suspiciously at every use of italics, which is good and useful, since I have a tendency to overuse them. When I'm typing [i] and [/i] around every slanted word, the editing corner of my brain takes the opportunity to shove each one in my face, sigh in disapproval, and say, "Liz, you poor silly creature, are you so scared that your words might not say exactly what you want them to say that you're going to put them on steroids?"

And I frown, and waver, and end up putting one to two thirds of the italicized words back into normal type.

You should all be grateful. Italics abuse is not pretty to read. *grin*
