Sneeze Your Womb Out? That's Your Plan?

[rionaleonhart]

Well, that's university over and done with.

...bit anticlimactic, really, isn't it? Hang on:

You defeated UNIVERSITY!

Thank you so much for your support, both in the comments to my previous entry and over the past four months of stress. I am so lucky to know all of you. (I suppose it's conceivable that You, The Reader might be someone I do not, in fact, know, but I'm sure you're excellent anyway.)

I feel a bit odd now. I don't quite know what to do when I don't have a massive deadline looming over me, it seems. What do people do when they're not panicking over dissertations?

Ooh, I can start writing again! Well, yes, I was writing before, but now I can write without guilt. The drive to write may well have scarpered now that the allure of procrastination no longer hovers about it, but let's give this a go anyway:

Give me a prompt (or several), and I'll write you a one-sentence fic.

(I should become slightly less terrible at responding to things now. Let's hope.)

Oh, excellent, I was struggling with that key piece of casting. Who do you think for Draco? Victoria Coren?

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

If we make Giles Pansy, does that become massively icky or kind of hot?

[amchau.livejournal.com]

Each to their own, but I'm afraid I find that thought massively icky. Also, I don't think Alan Coren as Lucius would work very well, so I take my suggestion back.

[rionaleonhart]

I actually think Victoria Coren could make quite a good McGonagall, if we make this a gender-irrelevant casting rather than a genderswapped one. She's certainly not going to take any of her students' nonsense.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

I approve of this addition of Giles Coren into things. Also, I feel that by including Shappi, we should include some of her science-minded friends.

Actually, if Giles is there, so should Sue Perkins. They can run around and be the Weasley twins together.

Robin Ince for Prof McGonagall, y/n?

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Y/Y.

Ignoring the genderswap aspect, Ben Goldacre for Snape - he'd get shouty and snarky at everyone who doesn't do Potions properly.

[rionaleonhart]

If they don't all have to be genderswapped, I think Stephen Fry would make an excellent Dumbledore.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Possibly because I was subjected to too many of her non-jokes at the last HIGNFY filming, I want Julia Hartley-Brewer as Voldemort.

(And Marcus Brigstocke as ... fff, I don't know. But I want to hear him ranting.)

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

I don't know who she is, but all right! Who're we having as Ginny Weasley? They need to be feisty and compatible with Shappi-as-Harry. Maybe Robert Webb? David is involved, so should Robert.

[rionaleonhart]

I was about to suggest Amy Pond, and then I remembered that she is a) not a comedian and b) fictional.

I'd still like to see Amy Pond/Shappi Khorsandi, though.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Shappi would make a lovely companion!

I'd still like to see Amy Pond/Shappi Khorsandi, though.

...I want this so much. And back on HP, may I suggest Mad-Eye for Marcus? then he REALLY gets to rant...

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

*excited clapping* POIFECK.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Yes! And he'd get to be a lunatic!

I still feel we need to drag Brian Cox into this whole thing, because I'm predictable like that.

[littlemoose.livejournal.com]

Well, he's kindly and knowledgeable with a bit of a dark side (seriously, 'we can't choose who die'!) so Lupin?

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

If we're ignoring the genderswapping for Goldacre-Snape, we can do it here as well.

This does make the whole Snape-Lupin hatred very interesting...

[littlemoose.livejournal.com]

Oh cripes, yes, I'd forgotten you had Goldacre pinned as Snape! You're right, that puts a whole new spin on it!

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

No clue who to use as Wormtail or Sirius Black, but I'm too busy with LOLling at the new Lupin-Snape spin, and a lab report :D

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I'd still like to see Amy Pond/Shappi Khorsandi, though.

I think one of my ovaries just combusted.

[inappropriately.livejournal.com]

I'd still like to see Amy Pond/Shappi Khorsandi, though.

I need this in my life.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I think Robert already was ... someone mentioned him as Luna Lovegood. Charlie! CHARLIE COULD BE GINNY WEASLEY.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

I am SURPRISED we didn't mention Charlie earlier!

[littlemoose.livejournal.com]

...this is the best thing I have read in weeks. No exceptions.
