Well, finally, some new HP material from me!

It's not posted yet, but it will be. And that's why I'm pimping now.

If you are attending Phoenix Rising, the pottercon this weekend, please please PLEASE consider going and auditioning for roles in the new Spellcast Radio Play. It's a new play, a new fic as it were, and I wrote it, and I adore writing for Spellcast. :)

Now, the cast is fairly large, and they need a lot of people. There are roles for those who can't fake an accent, roles for those who can, roles for men and women, roles for women who want to play men, roles for youth, and roles for every age after youth. I'll have more info eventually, but you can talk to anyone manning the Fiction Alley side of things, they can point you in the right direction, or drop a line to [info]heidi8.

If you aren't interested in performing, the audience also has an active role in "responding" to the play and I urge you all to go and sit in. It's not very long, and I promise there's at least one funny line. :D

The new play is titled The Three Trials of Severus Snape. The cast list is as follows:

Minerva McGonagall
The Examiner (Possibly an American accent)
Dolores Umbridge
Three witches/wizards from the Salem Institute (American accents)
Nymphadora Tonks
Remus Lupin
Draco (late teens)
Harry (late teens)
Young Severus Snape (age 15 or thereabouts)
Contemporary Severus Snape (age 38 or thereabouts)
Albus Dumbledore
Poppy Pomfrey
One audience plant
One member of the "second trial" examining board

The play is based around the theme of McGonagall narrating three events in Snape's life: the day after he was nearly killed by Lupin, his "hearing" to determine if he should be tried as a Death Eater following the first fall of Voldemort, and an examination post-DH regarding whether he knowingly murdered Albus Dumbledore. Lupin has a great speech, as does Harry, and the Examiner is a role I'd like to play myself.

I lay down for a nap two hours ago.

I woke up at 2pm tomorrow and realised that I had to be at work NOW and got out of bed to take a shower. Then I woke up. And it was ten am tomorrow so I didn't have to be at work yet but my neighbour, not thinking I was at home, had broken into my house. Then I woke up and went to roll out of bed but the bed flipped over and trapped me and as I was calling my roommate M for help I woke up and discovered that M had invited four friends to move in, so that I not only no longer had a bedroom but a private shower either, and while I was showering she gave me shampoo that had ground glass in it and forgot to warn me (the glass served some purpose) so I cut my hands up and as I was picking glass out of my palms I woke up and went to call her to tell her about this ridiculous dream and in so doing knocked the laptop off the desk and then I woke up.

So I'm not sure this is reality anymore.

And people wonder why I write AU so often.

I don't have a What The Shit icon. I have to fix that.

Edit: I swear I just heard someone through my window yell at someone else, "You gotta go to Albus tomorrow and get my package, you son of a bitch!"

I'm still not sure this is reality, because clearly someone is pissed they haven't gotten their Hogwarts letter yet. Calm down, woman, they don't even send them out until July.
