Whoo! I dance the dance of victory.

I did actually consider writing Dana/Casey for a while, but it got too oogy.

Dana/Casey just feels wrong.

Sam, on the other hand.

It wasn't that it was wrong for thematic reasons. It was that it could easily become a little too Mary Sue, you know what I'm saying?

Ah!

See, that would happen if I wrote, say, Dan/Rebecca, maybe.

But not Casey/Any female.

Jilli? I've got to admit that I've not read much in the HP fandom outwith LoP and Fearless Diva. I mean, I've read some, but not extensively. Um. And teacher/pupil is kind of an issue for me, for obvious reasons, even with both people over the age of consent. I mean, in the real world age gaps don't squick me, if people are grown ups. But I feel kind of antsy about HP. But I can understand that Snape/GrownUpHermione could totally have a MrKnightley/Emma thing going on. Or, you know, MrRochester/FeistyJaneEyreWithABrainTheSizeOfManhattan.

(My other issue is that I totally identify Hermione with my baby sister. [That pic especially - just the epitome of my overachieving wee sister, bless her. Only WeeSisterJay is blonde.)

I don't think I can promise you Snape/Hermione, but I'll try to get back to Snape at some point - maybe Snape/Lily, maybe just Grumpy!Snape. 'Cause he's fun.

Does anyone know if there's any good Dead Zone fic out there, incidentally? I'd quite like to read stories about whatchamacallim, the cop. The chap who married John Smith's fiancee. I like him, and his character's situation interests me a lot. (I'm all about the peripheral characters, baby.)

Then I'm a happy girl. Because you write Snape wonderfully.

No, I can totally understand the squick. In fact, that's why I'm a little wary of most of the S/H fic out there; I just don't trust the authors to write it well enough to make me ignore the faint shouts from my conscience.

But I can understand that Snape/GrownUpHermione could totally have a MrKnightley/Emma thing going on. Or, you know, MrRochester/FeistyJaneEyreWithABrainTheSizeOfManhattan.

Yes. And again, some of it works really well. Some of it doesn't. Which is why I'm whining at the writers I know to write me something, because I trust them. I just want well-written het Snape fic; I don't have a OTP, just a fascination with Snape.

I probably should have put this in Bitchy Fic, but this is a Fic Challenge along the lines of Secret Slasha.

It's called FlashFic a thon, write a 1000 word fic for someone and someone will write one for you. You send in two pairings (or threesomes) you like, plus a sentence saying your preferences about the style of writing you like (dark,happy, torture,etc) by April 8 and the stories are due in by April 21.

Details are at marguerite26's lj Flashficathon

By the way--it's any pairing of any characters that have appeared on the show at any thime. Het or Slash.

Thanks, Allison.

Hey, I'm like a magpie, picking up odd bits of this and that. I try to pass on the good stuff.

Finally!

'My fandom' lj icons for M*A*S*H. I'm happy now.
