Whoa. I had no idea it had been quite so long since the last time I posted.

Um, OK, so two three things:

1. Any Harry Potter fandom folks still reading this? Anybody feel like betaing the first half of a long-overdue fanfic? It's George/Lee.
   
   
2. Check out Snowgall's STATS FOR ALL HDS_BELTANE FESTS, 2007-2015. Guess who's the wordiest and has two thumbs?
   
   
3. I, uh, had been writing a Captain America fanfic when I started the George/Lee, and ended up finishing it... and writing a bunch of companion fics, mostly standalone one-shots. They're all done now (almost) but rather than cut and paste them all here, I'm going to post a listing of them on AO3 and send anybody who wants to read them over in that direction.
   
   AO3 does this awesome thing where you can put fics into a series and they're all gathered together like ducklings. Bless AO3.

PLEASE NOTE: AUTHOR IS BAD AT TAGS

I got in a crapload of trouble over this series, for not tagging for warnings, triggers, and squicks. A lot of people got very angry at me. So I decided to write a blanket warning:

DO NOT READ THIS SERIES IF YOU HAVE SERIOUS TRIGGERS OR SQUICKS.

I honestly did not intend to upset anyone, but did, even after carefully considering what I was doing and trying to do it right. Turns out that Hurt/Comfort didn’t mean what I thought it meant (apparently it only applies to fluffy hurt, not serious trauma), non-con/dub-con isn’t enough of a tag if people assume one person is the victim but it’s really somebody else, infidelity can seriously piss people off even if it happens when the OTP are not currently involved, one-night stands are a dealbreaker for a lot of people, happy endings don’t count if characters are put through the ringer before the end...

I threw my hands in the air and gave up.

So: please don’t get mad at me if these stories don’t go the way you thought they would go. There’s Major Character Death, period-typical homophobia, one-night-stands, infidelity, serious trauma, sexual assault, underage, very unhappy people, and probably a dozen things I had no idea were traumatic for anyone.

The people who got angry at me before I figured out that tags were not my forte? I’m very sorry I hurt them.

Anybody who reads this stuff after being duly warned that Who Knows What-All may be hiding here? Your funeral, dude.
