Scottish Question for my Flist

  • Aug. 14th, 2008 at 8:49 AM
for home family love etc
I'm writing a fic with a Scottish character and his Dad.  Are there some affectionate names they would use with each other instead of Mum and Dad?  Also, are there names that the parents would call their grown son that would be somewhat child-like but tolerable?  I know I've used (in English) poppin (archaic, I know), and in Welsh, there's bach.  Even a variation of son or wee one, although the character is tall and muscular, so wee one might look a bit odd or punny.  Also, is there another word for Oi! or that type of exclamation?  Any other language/cultural hints for dialogue would be most helpful.  I like their dialogue to sound natural and at home.  They live in the Highlands near Inverness if that makes a difference on which words you would use. 
Thanks for your help.

The Quidditch Pitch +

for home family love etc
My story After Effects is starting to go up on The Quidditch Pitch, and once I get the hang of submitting there, I may put more stuff up.  It is being re-beta'd because that's how they do things there, and some of my chapters were never beta'd.  The only thing up right now is the Prologue, but that's as good as any place to start.  Right now, it's under new stories, and I'm working on getting chapter 1 back to the beta there.  The story is complete, so if you haven't read it already, it should all be posted there with some changes by the end of the month.  Maybe.

I'm actually having trouble seeing - had my eyes dilated, and I can't see properly, but that is for another post and rant about my craptastic day.  Actually, craptastic doesn't seem to scratch the surface of my day all things considered and there will be more crappy fun on Friday as well.  Having trouble concentrating.  Might be back later.  We'll see, I suppose.
I know that the icon doesn't go with the post, but it makes me feel good, so there you have it.

Romancing the Wizard - 5 Drabbles in 5 Days

  • Jul. 27th, 2008 at 1:32 PM
Fanfiction Library
 I actually did them in two days, and they are posted over at [info]romancingwizard.  I will list them with their links and pairings.  Drabbles and author's notes will stay over there, but you can pop over and read them if you like.  They had to take place over summer holiday and have a recurring theme.  Mine was pregnancy.  Don't ask why.  I don't question the muse.  It's better for everyone that way.  The original theme was supposed to have been The Leaky Cauldron, so just pop in there, have a drink and read some drabbles.

Lovely to Look At - George Weasley/Rhiannon Jones

Loch Cibeirdraoid - Ernie Macmillan/Susan Bones

The Leaky Cauldron - Neville Longbottom/Hannah Abbott

Anything - Fred Weasley/Verity

Clever - Arthur/Molly

For rarepair_shorts for the prompt: let the tempest howl
Disclaimer(s):
Canon Statement:  Canon comes from eight sources, which include JKR’s Harry Potter series of books and thanfiction’s Dumbledore’s Army and the Year of Darkness.  All HP characters belong to JKR and her associates.  The characterizations and pairings belong to thanfiction.  All the rest (minimal that it may be) belong to me.
  Expect SPOILERS for both.
Rating: R, Word Count: 944 (not including introduction and author’s notes)
Summary: see introduction below.  This incident follows the extensive graffiti the DA have left all around Hogwarts in the early part of the 7th year term.
Author's Notes:
This takes place during the 7th year at Hogwarts while Harry was off on his Horcrux hunt.  Many of the situations described, including the violence and character deaths are from both DH and DA.  Canon has been followed for both books unless otherwise noted.  Beta by thanfiction

Introduction to prompts 2-13:

                Hogwarts was not the happy place it had been for the previous six years.  Now with Severus Snape as Headmaster and Death Eaters not only welcomed through the portcullis, but also responsible for teaching classes as well as the discipline and punishment, it was a very different place.  Sometimes, life at the castle was insufferable, but Neville Longbottom reformed the DA and they met in secret, training for the day that they would face Voldemort and possibly sacrifice themselves.

                These prompts follow the “missing moments” from the seventh year for Neville’s lieutenant, Ernie Macmillan and his relationship with fellow DA member Susan Bones.

GIVE YOUR CHILD A FUTURE
GIVE YOUR CHILD A BOOK



Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

"...the existential moment when we
saw the couple in the coma and...

You don't know me at all"

"I think I'm in love, but it makes me kinda nervous to say so"

"if you talk too much, my head will explode"

"I was just sipping on something sweet
I don't need political process

I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
I got this feeling they they're gonna come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it's been getting to me all this time
And it don't stop dragging me down

Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I'm a travel man
But tonight this engine's failing

I still hear the children playing"

"Something is not right with me!
Tryin' not to let it show!

I tryed to call you collect
You said you would not accept
Your friends are laughin' cause
No body uses pay phones"

"Love just keeps growing the more you divide it, but pain is cut in half each time you share it.” - M.Blake


The Ragged Truth
Music Lyrics I Just Love

"They say that all things come in threes, well here comes the third degree"

"How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me, it's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language you just can't read"

"You're an office park without any trees"
"You call me up drunk, does the fun ever start?"

"If you love me, won't you let me know."

"I'm gonna do the things that I want to do, I ain't got a thing to prove to you."

"You make me come,
You make me complete,
You make me completely miserable."

"Some people call it a one-night stand, but we can call it paradise."

"I beg for some forgiveness, but beggin's not my business"

"You're a glutinous queen,
Narcissistic and mean"

"Comin' on strong like an intervention.
Back and forth and crazy
and we ain't done yet.
Does me no good
cause I'm sick of sex."

"Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back up to the shore
No ones in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
And the blinds are down"
