I'm so happy I didn't sign up for Yuletide.
I also think I damn near outed myself as a ficwriter tonight. But we were talking vids! And my friend knew who Sisabet and Lum were!

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

I'm waiting on beta response before I commit seppuku. If it turns out my story doesn't suck, then I just have to keep myself from signing up for a pinch hit.

I have a first paragraph! Also a piece of dialogue from later in the story. So, hey, only 975 words to go...
I have some notes...

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Funny woman.

Good stuff.

Hey. New board.
Heh, I actually JUST copied it to wholesale to my Treo. Airplane reading!
Now if only he would finish Laocoon's Children Year 2 in the next couple of days. I think I like his AU Sorceror's Stone as much as the original, possibly more, and I can't wait to see what he does with the Chamber.

True. I have to wonder, though, how he's going to handle Year 3, given how wildly Remus's and Sirius's fates have diverged from canon.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, that is a problem. He'll have to introduce some completely different overarching story to frame his characters. More with Peter Pettigrew, perhaps? I dunno. Or maybe Harry will actually get a fairly normal year in the Laocoonverse, that would be cool.

Oh, Anne. Why do you hate me so? Do you know how long this thing is? And when my yuletide story is due?
Actually, I've finally started really getting somewhere. That is to say, I've gotten over a thousand words, and it turns out I'm only in the first, sort of establishing, scene, and haven't done any of what's been requested of me yet. But that gives me a pleasant buffer, that I already have a bunch written. Thank goodness.

Countdown to yuletide. Is anyone else still finishing their story, or am I the only total lame-o taking advantage of the final six hours?
