Wow, they're all brilliant, your ficlets and the lovely drawings alike! I loved all the Lord Peter Wimsey ones, especially the two cricket scenarios. ;)
These are all wonderful. I can't thank you enough, you really do brighten my days. I know that's kinda pathedic, but my thesis is truely the devil, and is intent on killing me.
I forgot to mention before, but I'm amused how this is the second time you've written a flopsy for me that includes, Remus, Sirius, a hot drink, a blanket, and a book. :) That is truely Heaven, in my opinion.
I of course read the one you wrote for me again while I was reading these, and suddenly I'm struck much more strongly with the feeling that it is a scene out of a full fic that I want so much to read.
The one with blind Ron and pregnant Hermione makes me happy. So does the martial arts!Remus. (You know they must be good if you have me saying I like het and Marauder Sirius/Remus!)
The one with Remus caning Snape has got to be the first time I've ever seen the professor/student role playing doe with Snape being the student.
It FEELS like a scene out of a full fic. Actually, when I was making the list of stories to write (I printed it so I could work on the plane in my notebook) I added to yours the summary of what I wanted to do, because it jumped right up in my head. :D
It seems logical to me that Snape would be in the submissive position of a control-power relationship, because he's so controlled himself. He needs a release. I was really apprehensive about writing that one, but I ended up turning myself on (which nearly never happens when I write porn) and discovered quite a few things about why I feel the way I do regarding power relationships. I don't like pain, but I've discovered it's not the pain that's the turnoff, it's the "silly" factor. For the first time I could actually relate personally to someone on the Dominant side of a relationship like that (I'm not submissive by nature, so that side was never even in question :D).
So, amusingly, if Snape had been caned on the ass I would have thought it was just silly and childish, but because it was the shoulders (as schoolboys often were) with just one mischevious swat at the end, I was okay with it.
Love them all. Love them all. So much love. Even -- and I shudder to say it -- for the Lupin/Snape BDSM piece. But most especially for the Host Club dressed up as people from Star Trek. That just made my day. ^_^
The BDSM piece was really hard, I was apprehensive about it. But I know enough about "The Lifestyle" (friends in it) to get inside it a bit and figure it out, and once I did that I was really pleased with the result :)
I always love a flopsy-fest. These are all great, Sam! I'm especially impressed by the poems, as I can't come up with words that rhyme, let alone put them into an order that makes sense.
And as I've been away from LJ for several days and didn't get a chance to chortle over "my" picture of Baby Harry, I'll do it here. It's great! I love the Snitch and the stuffed Padfoot! Thanks, waccawheels!
Oh, the sonnets were wonderful, and the Studio 60 ones were absolutely brilliant :D (Matt/Suzanne, secret OTP of my heart, how lovely it is to see you for once.)
This is like finding a bag filled with halved Snickers fun-size bars: each one delicious but unsatisfying, but all together will most likely make you too full to eat anything else for the rest of the day.
I...meant that as a compliment. Really.
(I'm just very, very tired. It took me forever to write that analogy. Which I will not re-read, because I know it sucks.)

Bunter, sensing his master's distress, quietly bundled up the music that night and sold it to a publisher of popular instrumental music, who himself sold a hundred copies in a week.
::Hoovers up more Wimseyfic:: Splendid. I particularly like the first one - of course Bunter has to talk to the Duchess about her son – and the cricket (not that there’s much to like about cricket in England at the moment).
(BTW, Esquire doesn’t signify a solicitor in the UK, and Peter isn’t a peer until/unless he inherits the dukedom).
Just found these - I'm always on the lookout for Wimsey fic! Very much enjoyed these, although I'm afraid the cricket one doesn't quite work. Hitting the ball into the crowd doesn't count as a 'foul' (there's no such beast in cricket) and the batsman wouldn't retrieve the ball himself, because he'd be out for handling the ball. (Cricket is such a minefield) Shame, because its a lovely idea.
I really liked Bunter's conversation with the Dowager Duchess, though, and also the Wimsey/ Good Omens crossover.

Gorgeous art, all you guys.
And your words, Sam, moving as always.
Particularly "Well, I could give you a diagnosis of cancer if that'd be more entertaining."
and Another sad attempt to write free-verse,
Will you ever publish a book of Ellis's poetry?

It's been a few years since I read SH and the first year+ of LC, so I want to re-read and get current before I check out those ones.
Great stuff, cheers! ;D
