Mod Post: Extensions

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

In view of the fact that some of you have new canon to deal with, and that many of you are also dealing with moving, college, new jobs and what-have you, and that all of us have severely distracted by LJ/6A's behavior and have been considering what to do about this:

I hearby bestow upon you an extension of the posting dates.

You've all got until September 30th to post your story.

I hope this will make it easier for all of you. Take care.

A Mother's Love

[redvelvetcanopy.livejournal.com]

Title: A Mother’s Love
Author: redvelvetcanopy
Fandom: Harry Potter (No spoilers for Deathly Hallows)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mention of violence, death
Prompt: 40. Life is easier than you'd think; all that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable. -- Kathleen Norris.
Summary: Prudence Pettigrew suffered a mother’s agony when her son died. When Peter reveals that he’s alive and needs her help, the decision to assist him is a simple one compared to what she’s withstood.
Author’s Notes: Thank you to laudomia and seaislewitch for beta reading this story.

In The Light of Power, Ginny Weasley, R

[tourdefierce.livejournal.com]

Title: In The Light of Power
Author: Loony4lupin
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: Light R for language
Warnings: DH Spoilers, some swearing, first person, and a light, barely, if you squint H/G but only because it’s canon.
Prompt: 149. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. -- Maryanne Williamson.
Summary: -Love does not stop; it may go dormant in times but will not be laid to rest completely. And the power that it gives is truly enough to save the world if we are willing to embrace it.- I would really like to think my beta for this piece such-heights. I would have been lost without the help since I have never written anything like this before. Feedback is really appreciated. Enjoy.

Second Sakura, Juli Mizrahi, PG-13

[skylar-inari.livejournal.com]

Title: Second Sakura
Author: skylar_inari
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Xenosaga
Word Count: 2805
Prompt: 3) I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own. -- Margaret Atwood.
Summary: One daughter, or is it two? Juli Mizrahi can only follow her heart.
Author Notes: Mention of suicide. Prompt unused. Much of the dialogue comes directly from the second game in the series. I do not own any of the characters, or the situations. Monolith Soft and Namco do.

Many, many thanks to thegiantkiller for the beta!
