Some of my favorite quotes from: Very Secret Diaries:


Day Four:
Ran into Gandalf. Turns out he did not actually die but instead was forced by Balrog to sell out to laundry detergent company and is now Gandalf the Sparkly White. - The Very Secret Diary of Aragorn, Son of Arathorn, Part Two

Day Fourteen:
Standing on battlements of Helm's Deep. Absolutely ridiculous number of Orcs headed this way. Who are we kidding anyway. We are so ***************. Perhaps this place has a side door. - The Very Secret Diary of Aragorn, Son of Arathorn, Part Two

Day 200075:
Council very boring. Got to say "DOOM" a few times in v. dramatic voice but am afraid Ringbearer was not impressed as was busy fending off advances of Aragorn, who was making all sorts of suggestive sword comments. He better watch it. Sam will kill him if he tries anything. - The Very Secret Diary of Elrond

Day Sixteen:
Heroic self-sacrificing death scene ruined by arrival of Gandalf and still-insufferable Eomer. Why did Gandalf wait until dawn to arrive? Suspect is so he would be most attractively backlit while riding down hill. Drama Queen. - The Very Secret Diary of Theoden

******************
some of my favorite quotes from: Draco Trilogy:

"What are you thinking?" Ginny asked.
"I was pondering the immortal words of Julius Caesar when he said "Brutus! You stabbed me in the back, you ************,'" said Draco.
"I don't think I remember that from my edition of Shakespeare," said Ginny, stifling a smile.
"I'm paraphrasing."- Draco Sinister, Ch. 5

"We're not 'at' anything," said Harry, with dignity, although he stepped away from Hermione. "We were just talking."
"That's right," said Charlie, with a grin. "You just got to talking, suddenly tripped, and fell on each other's lips. Happens all the time."- Draco Sinister Ch. 5

Lupin snorted. "Don't try to get me involved in party planning, Sirius," he said. "The last party I was at was James' bachelor party, and that was twenty years ago."
"And yet I remember it like it was yesterday," said Sirius, with a grin.
Lupin raised an eyebrow. "I'd be shocked if you remembered any of it. In my recollection, you stood on your head in the front garden, and sang eighteen verses of a song entitled 'I May Be A Tiny Chimney Sweep'. Then we had to carry you home."- Draco Sinister Ch. 5

She looked up at Draco instead. ?So he passed out??
?Well, he woke up briefly, but he called me Professor, and then he demanded to be taken to the king of the Potato People to plead for his freedom, which would have been fine except he insisted on stealing a traffic cone as well, so I knocked him out and here we are.?
Hermione shook her head. ?With friends like you, who needs severe head injuries?"- Draco Veritas Ch. 1

*************
well those are some of my favorites. post your's, opinion of the fics, favorite charaters or diary, etc. just post!

Liz Edit: Swears, and links to slash.

 

Yeah I have read the very secret diaries before adn found them very hillarious! Make sure you read them in the right order, though.

And just incase anyone would be offended, there are a few bad words and slashy tendancies (ie some gay implications) but nothing in the slightest bit graphic. Just like inuendos. Did I spell that right?

 

yes i think the web site that i listed has them in the correct order. and to forewarn anyone about the very secret diaries, as droideka27 said, they can be slashy(but in no way graphic) and have some language. as for the draco trilogy, they have language and crude humor. also the most recent instalment of Draco Veritas is rated R. i havn't read it yet so i can't tell you what is in it. a friend of mine is editing it for me. if you would like the edited copy, PM me. and i think you spelled it right.

innuendos

"Pointy Hat Trick"

 

Excellent!

I've been wondering where I could find the secret diarys.

Cheers BriaTharen. These have got to be some of the funniest stuff I've read on the net.

 

I haven't read the Very Secret Diaries yet but I love that Draco series. It's funny because my friends are always talking about the Very Secret Diaries and I'm always talking about the Draco series and never have I made the connection that they were written by the same people.

I've read what she has so far of Draco Veritas. The most recent chapter is the only one so far that is actually Rated R but I don't remember anything that was particularly Rish.

I have to figure out what I did with my other favorite quote from the Draco series...

 

Thank you for the address!! Woohoo...more Secret Diaries! Mwahahahahaaha!

 

sure, no problema, to all who needed the address. the very secret diaries are also posted on her live journal if you want to read them ther. i don't have a link for that, but it should be pretty easy to find. to all who have only read the draco trilogy- read the very secret diaries! to all who have only read the very secret diaries- read the draco trilogy!

uppers

 

I fell in love with the VSDs and named a sock after them Even have a sock army... but that's another story.

Sill waiting on a Leggy TTT VSD... and I hadn't really planned to, but after the quotes in the first post, I suppose I must go read the Harry Potter bits, or risk missing out on some very good humor.

And I want a "Still the Prettiest" or "Wizard Wrestling Federation" t-shirt!

 

*hops in delight* Thank you soo much for making this thread, Bria! I'm a huge fan of Cassie. The 'Draco' series is my favorite fanfic ever. She's an amazing writer. I have to go find some good quotes. Love the ones you put up.

A question for all of you who have read DV: Do you think Draco and Ginny will get together eventually, or will he always be hung up on Hermione?

 

I adore the VSDs... many of us girls from the Hotties thread were quoting Cassie's brilliant works in our sigs a while back.

 

Dunno. In the third story it doesn't look like Draco is doing too great in general and Ron's predictions don't look too great either.

 

The Theoden VSD is the best!

Where is the horse and the rider? No, seriously, where are they? That was my favorite horse.

 

I loved that quote as well, Lurking_Around. It looks good in your sig.

 

I cannot believe what Ron did. I was shocked. I hope Hermione finds out what was up with the charm that Pansy put on the letters. Poor Ron. He's always getting abused.

 

Love this one too:

"Necklace returned to me by Legolas, yay! He muttered something in Elvish that could have been "You're late" or could have been "Throw me down and shag me rotten." Not entirely sure which. Must brush up on Elvish as do not wish to presume." - VSD of Aragorn, Son of Arathorn, Part II

 

Still not king yet

My favorite running gag, right after the infamous,"Sam will kill him if he tries anything."

 

I knew sometihing would be done to the that scene. Heh heh heh.

Also loved Gandalf the Sparkly White, detergent salesman!

Oh yeah, another great line by Theoden in Aragorn's VSD:

"Are you King here? Last time I checked, I was King here. I'm lookin' around and I don't see anyone else with a crown on his head. Eh? Eh?"

Was forced to admit I am indeed still not King.

*dies laughing*

 

Legolas, Son of Weenus (*snicker*)

Day Six:

Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day Ten:

Gandalf fell into shadow. In other news, I think I am developing a spot on my nose. V. serious situation, as Elven spots likely to last for 500 years or more.

Still prettiest, despite blasted spot.

That's our boy!

 

ok, guys, here's the thing. One, no links to slash (why can't Aragorn be into me???), two, swears have to be completely edited.

In short:

Post by Liz. Stupid Liz.


(ah, yes, who else owns the "Sam will kill you if you try anything" shirt? )

 

I just read the body-switching Draco story... and [face_shocked] !

I loved it! I always hated Draco in the books and movies, but now I'm finding him strangely... attractive?

And it was scary, funny, and heart-breaking all at the same time! I'm hooked!

*runs off to read the other three stories*

 

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember any blatant slash being in the VSDs, only innuendo. Would the link have been deleted if it were heterosexual relationships that were hinted at instead? There should be equal standards when it comes to censorship.

 

Bithy, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. And the rules are no slash. This was recently (two months? three?) brought up in comms and in the modsquad. There were no changes made to the rule. Josh says no slash.
