The stuff of drama-queenage
Dec. 31st, 2008 02:18 pmI've been hanging around on the forums of Catholic Answers, a mixed group of Catholic layfolks and priests who gladly answer people's questions about Catholicism. It's generally a good hang-out (aside from the one or two people who've nagged me for odd things, but there's always going to be one Mrs. Tolliver somewhere...).
But once in a while you get a thread dealing with something genuinely odd. The background: someone came on the forum asking if it was possible for a person's baptism to be annulled (like a marriage, apparently). It seems this person is the godparent to a relative's now-14 year old daughter, and they had a falling out with the relative. Now they're trying to mend bridges and yet, the relative is telling them they aren't the daughter's godparent any more since the relative "had the daughter re-baptized". Head-scratching and speculation ensues, till a priest sets everything right on "re-baptism":

Heh, I spend time with angels quite often, if you count my angel-themed MxO faction as such.

FIC: "The Dresden Files" -- Fallen Star
Dec. 31st, 2008 10:05 pmMy first ever Dresden-fic and I hope I got it right...
Title: Fallen Star
Author: Matrix Refugee (aka Morraeon on the JB forums)
Verse: Combined book/TV-verse (don't kill me, I like 'em both equally since I found both at exactly the same time)
Characters: Harry, the Carpenter clan
Prompt: Stars
Word Count: 3,386
Rating: PG (for teenage rebelliousness and language)
Spoilers: Takes place a few weeks after Small Favor
Summary: Helping the Carpenters get the house ready for the holidays turns into a lesson in tough love between Harry and one of Molly's siblings.
Disclaimer: The Dresden Files do not belong to me, just playing in the universe and shying snowballs at Jim's fanfic-phobic rules-lawyers (not such a bad thing, since it cuts down on the risk of badfic.
Author’s Note: Minor self-insert of myself and my dad, and this story is probably going to get majorly Jossed once “Mean Streets”, the anthology featuring Jim’s new Michael-centric novella, “The Warrior” comes out in a week. A bit sentimental and sparkly, but hey, it’s a holiday-fic and they tend that way.
( I've never been a huge fan of the holidays... )
