Go on, Tep. It's fun. There's snarkage, there's swashbuckling, there's romance, there's more snarkage. There's woobiedom and heart-in-mouth moments. There's Big Gay Love, and Big Heterosexual Oost, and a host of really lovely original characters. And shitloads of research & little touches that root it very firmly in Modern Britain. Hell, in the North of England.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

woobiedom? A new word.
Loved Draco's Post Traumatic Stress issues and his reaction to the castle.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Chalk up another convert. I just read the first chapter of LoP, and I'm still giggling. It's so well written that I despair of ever writing anything I'd be willing to show in public.

Fay, when will you be eligible for the 9-piece dining room set?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's Big Gay Love
But not enough of it, damnit.
No, I'm not going to let this go. But it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it.

At least there's some smoochies. A couple of snuggle scenes would have been nice. Plus the whole reunion thing. Sigh. Would she let us write missing scenes?
Love his mother and the reporter.

wrod.
But if you can stand the torture of an opening chapter all on its lonesome, she's posted the start of the LoP sequel in her LJ
'Course, reading it just leaves you going "...and? And then what? Aaaaargh!!!!!"

I can't go "Aaargh!!!!" at work so I'll have to wait. Do we have the duel? Do we have reference to the duel?

Oh, I'm all about the self-torture.

If I only had a brain...
Don't torture yourself, dear. Let us do it for you.
