Wheeee!

Go all, look at the pretty icon manraviel made me for Christmas!!!
*points to the upper-right corner*
Isn't it cute? Of course if I'd be a cat!Animagus, I'd never turn out this cute, but I adore it so much :).
*snuggles kitty, and gift-giver*

By the way, have you ever noticed that there are basically two cat-face expressions? They come in 'cute and haughty/aristocratic/cool' and in 'cute and cuddly' in the sense of 'couldn't pull off aristocratic on a cold day in hell'. Yep, they can all do stern, but it looks rather different. My best friend has two female cats, sisters, same litter, looking alike, but their expressions are as different as day and night...

Bunnies and Beta

For dinner tonight, I'd like one-half plot bunny, broilled, lots of spices, thanks a lot.

I'm up to my neck in deadlines till about the end of January, only to wake up yesterday morning, on a day off!, after 3 1/2 hours sleep, knowing I *had* to write down this piece of one-sided Barty Crouch junior/Harry pr0n or it would hound me to the end of the earth. Never mind that I really could have used the sleep. Never mind that I should have sent out a chapter to the betas two days ago.
*shakes fist at fic and yells "I really didn't need you!"*

But speaking of bunnies... I've noticed that the ones which are vivid in my brain when I wake up are the most impossible to ignore. It's like an image stuck in my head that needs to get exorcised or it'll drive me bonkers. 'Beyond This Point' started like that, or that Lucius/Ron/Harry threesome monster I'm struggling with. Better to surrender to those immediately rather than putting up a struggle resulting in neither the bunny nor any other piece getting written...

I much prefer the type of bunny that goes "yes, I'm far too brilliant not to be written, and nicely fleshed out too, but I'm willing to wait till kingdom come you'll actually have the time".

So tell me - what are your favourite/most hated/weirdest types of plot bunny?

Oh, yeah, and... does anyone want to give that Barty/Harry thing a beta once-over as soon as it's presentable? Meaning Sunday or Monday (because that *other* chapter *will* go out tomorrow night even if hell freezes over or the cat decides to bear young!) About 1500 words, and you shouldn't be allergic to GoF movie!canon and channish tendencies and lack of niceness altogether...
