I've never done anything fully in present tense before. It was weird, but the story insisted.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

I want to write more stuff. But it's like the tide's gone out on the writing brain. Kind of a nice feeling, actually. Especially knowing the tide'll be back in.

Have just written HP femmeslash. I'm thinking the characters are maybe 16 and 17, or 17 and 18, at time of story.
Is here - will post link rather than story, as I'm aware that HP fic isn't everyone's cup of Darjeeling.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Fay, it's just fabulous, in spite of the fact that HP is usually not at all my cup.

Thank you! mops brow
The funny thing is, HP isn't really MY cup of tea either. Inasmuchas, I've read a handful of fics on a rec basis and enjoyed them, but I've never gone trawling and I don't know the fandom well. This despite having written the longest piece of fiction ever in my life within the fandom. Bonkers, I know. I wrote this because McTabby linked to a fracas over plagiarism, and I wondered how extreme it might be and went and read the story. Twice, as it happens, because it was a cut'n'paste'n'slaponanewname job. But it was so thoroughly GHASTLY a story that I found myself wanting to write something in which the characters were actually bordering on plausible developments of their present canon characterisations, rather than generic people-with-tits.

Hey. New board.
Oh dear. Now I have to friend you cuz that story was far too excellent.
Actually, friending you anyway. Cuz, you know, you're Fay. Therefore, entertaining.
Am I the only one that doesn't think Ron deserves Hermione anyway? She should hook up with some Ravenclaw we don't know...

Isn't the new character in the Pheonix, Looney, a Ravenclaw? If we are going to continue the theme, that is.
BTW, do we know if the reason why Hermione isn't a Ravenclaw a plot point or not?

Hey. New board.
I think J.K. just wanted Harry to have a really smart friend, so she casually ignored her own sorting hat system. I think it was mentioned once that Hermione could certainly fit in in Ravenclaw, but had plenty of bravery, so the sorting hat sort of let her choose. Like Harry had Slytherin/Gryffindor, and basically got to choose.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Fay, you are a wicked, wicked woman who will lead me into temptation yet. Loved the fic, very sweet and entirely believably inevitable.

Always Anti-fascist!
Thursday100 is having the worst drabble challenge evah this week. A story that is one hundred word sentence, grammatical and exact. Why? And I think it can't be done, either. And ew. Signed, short, choppy sentences' bitch. (resignedly dusting semicolon.)
