[sesheta66]

Christmas Gift Drabble #4:

So ... I just went with it! Warning for crackish tendencies and cheesy poetry.

This is a continuation of the "Crazy People" series (3 parts) which starts here, but can stand on its own.



"What are you looking so perplexed about, Harry?"

"What? Oh, it's nothing."

"If it were nothing, I would have said nothing. Clearly it's something, so fess up!"

"Well, you know how we've been reading ... well, how you've been reading that stuff on the dracoharry100 community?"

"Right ... because you haven't read anything posted there." Draco gave him a bemused look.

"Whatever. Anyway, I noticed that a bunch of people are doing what they call 'gift fics' for Christmas, and ..."

"Gift fics? What on earth is a gift fic?"

Harry sighed. "One writer asks another writer for a prompt, and then the first writer uses that prompt to write a drabble or short story using that prompt. Then the first author gives it to the second author as a gift. A gift fic."

Draco raised an eyebrow. "And there's a point to this, I'm sure ... something that has you looking bothered." Draco's face suddenly fell. "No one is asking for a fic that has us doing ... well, you know ... something really crazy, are they?"

"No, no. Well, yes, but that's not my point. It's just that this one author asked this other author for a prompt, and she didn't give her one."

"And this concerns you why?"

"Well, the second author is one of the mods over at dracoharry100 and this other author really seems to want to do a gift fic for her."

"Again, this concerns you how?"

"Well, I looked up her profile and ... well ..."

"Well what, Potter?"

He looked a bit hesitant. "It seems her aim in life is to earn enough money to get a Draco look-alike rent boy for herself."

"What?!"

"Well, she said that since the real you is with me ..."

"Do NOT tell me you are considering this?"

"No, no ... I just thought a rent-boy Draco might be a good prompt for ... you know ... the other author."

"Oh, for the love of Merlin ..." Draco continued mumbling something unintelligible as he exited the room, leaving Harry to send an anonymous little tip to a particular author.

---

There once was a rent-boy named Draco,
On assignment to a Muggle he did go,
All the way to Australia,
To meet with Diana,
Some whipped cream in hand for the show.


A/N: I tried to incorporate the comm, your love for whipped cream, your [curious] interest in my cheesy poems/limericks, and your aim in life. All wrapped up in a sort-of crackified bundle. Merry Christmas, honey!!!

LOL! This one completely cracked me up. Absolutely insane but Harry is too adorable. All in denial about reading the fanfiction. And sending people tips too. Too cute!

Thanks for sharing!

And for inspiration, here's a pic for you:

We had a couple of weeks of insane challenges over at dracoharry100, and this sort-of pics up where that left off.

*goes to add link*

Part 1 is here (http://sesheta-66.livejournal.com/100861.html), if you're interested in reading the insanity called "Crazy People" - 3 parts.

*stops to gawk at pretty pic*

[thrnbrooke.livejournal.com]

Oh tooo wonderful!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Just a silly little something. ;)

[winter-june.livejournal.com]

Hahahah. Isn't Harry a true hero through and through, always wanting to help people?

Do you imagine, LY profiles turning into wish lists, instead of a possible way to be tossed to the wolves? This would be a better world. *ponders what she'd put in it*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! I think that might actually be frightening, because I'm not exactly sure how 'interests' on LJ would translate into RL ... *giggles*

[gurliemoviegeek.livejournal.com]

There once was a rent-boy names Draco...

ROTFLMAOPMP

*reads limerick again*

*falls off chair laughing*

Too funny, dearest!!!!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Glad you liked it. You should have seen some of the ridiculous limericks I used to write for the hd_boardgame when it was still going. Many of them were most certainly groan-worthy! But fun to write.

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness, I- *cracks up*

...

Gah, you wrote me a fic despite my refusing to give you a prompt. :/ I'm very touched, and your header was really sweet. *sniffles a bit*

Yes, your limericks have always delighted me. ^_^ Yay to you for incorporating whipped cream and rent-boy!Draco, and for pimping out the comm, and- *glomps you hard*

"Well, the second author is one of the mods over at dracoharry100 and this other author really seems to want to do a gift fic for her."

Awwww... I didn't realise that (though in retrospect, you were asking a lot. Silly me for being so vague. *g*), dammit I'm feeling all sappy now. :/

Thank you for the hilarious read, I'm chuffed you'd go out of your way to check out my aim in life in order to write me a fic. It's been wonderful knowing you all this time (hee, one year anniversary as friends! :D), and I know next year's going to be just as awesome. ♥ cuddles ♥

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!! *bounces* I'm so glad you liked it.

Hee! I had fun with it, and actually it worked out that you didn't give me a prompt, 'cause I ended up making it just for you!

No worries, because I knew I was going to write you one anyway ... I just didn't really know where to begin ... okay, not true, I knew whipped cream would somehow get worked into the mix. Then when I thought about it, well ... voila!

I really have enjoyed knowing you over the past year, and yeah ... I'm looking forward to 2008 too!

♥ ♥ ♥ smooches ♥ ♥ ♥

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Hee, love hearts!!

♥ I ♥ love ♥ Sesheta! ♥ *waves pom-poms*

Awwww... 'just for me'. What a lovely phrase. *feels special now*

Heheh, you still remember my fondness for whipped cream, and yay to you for managing to slip it in! ^_^

(Since we're reminiscing, you know it took me months to figure out how to spell your username? Every time I tried typing it out in a comment, I'd get it wrong, so I'd have to come to your journal and check the spelling. :/)

Thank you again!! *cuddles you like the kittens* :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*\o/* Woo-hoo! Yay for pom-poms! ♥ And love hearts.

I know that gift fics are written for the recipient, but most of the time, they end up being for the enjoyment of others as well. This one may have everyone else rolling their eyes, but I don't care. 'Cause it's just for YOU, honey! Muah!

Hard to forget your fondness for whipped cream, when I have the same fondness. *nods* Remember ... there's no such thing as too much whipped cream. It's my mantra!

Awww ... but now you know!

*cuddles you back*

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

*snickers* I hope other people enjoyed your crack as well, but

Ahahaha, I was hoping to see your pom-poms again. ^_^ (They're really cute, and they look a bit like 'lol'.) Look, I'm cheerleading too! Se-she-ta! */o/*

:D

Yes, I recall I'd adopted your mantra, and yay to you for sharing whipped cream love! *cuddles some more*

Heheh, it's been a year, I should hope I know your name by now. *g*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*\o/* Yay for crack!

*\o/* Yay for pom-poms!

*\o/* Yay for whipped cream!

*\o/* Yay for LJ!

... I shall stop being really silly now. :D

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, I've been practising cheerleading, watch my new routine...

Se-she-ta! *\o\*

Se-she-ta! */o/*

Se-she-ta! */o\*

Se-she-ta! *\o/*

(Yes, I have to work on the actual lyrics. See why I'm very impressed by your limericks now? ;D)

... and you're probably right. I blame Christmas for all the silliness. *nods*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

I love the routine! Um ... lyrics ... yeah. ;)

*hugs*

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

Buah! This is hysterical!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Glad you found it amusing.

[sassy-cissa.livejournal.com]

*iz ded*

OMG! You totally rock with this - it is priceless. *hugs for sharing it*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! Silly, crackish, fun to write. So glad you enjoyed it too.

[kaykayen.livejournal.com]

This is such a funny little universe! And the limerick is absolutely priceless! After he's done with Diana, send him on over to me, please!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! I was inspired by the community, what can I say?

I suspect he might be out of whipped cream once Diana's done with him, thought. I'm just sayin' ... ;)

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Just following your mantra, sweetie. ;D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*grins wickedly*

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

Yes! This was terrific! Thanks!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Glad you liked. :)

[kbybee.livejournal.com]

*ROTF!* Ohmigosh this is wonderful crack. Absolutely adored. For this, I am friending you. I adore crack!friends. ;)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'm so glad you enjoyed this, but I hope you're not too disappointed. I'm afraid I don't often write crack!fics. But, every once in a while ... ;)

[kbybee.livejournal.com]

No. *Grins* I was just shy about friending you in the first place.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Pfft! I'm not scary at all. :o) No reason to be shy!

I don't bite ... well, not unless I'm asked to very nicely. Heh. ;)

[kbybee.livejournal.com]

Has nothing to do with being scary. *smiles* Im just shy. It's stupid I know, even over the internet. *Shrugs*

Oooh really? *leers* I look forward to asking in the future then. ;)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Aww ... *hugs*

Heh.

[idontgiveafaux.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA! brilliant, babe. i love the limerick at the end and the fact you incorporated the group into the fic :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Glad you enjoyed it, cheesy limerick and all! :D
