Fiction -- As Sharp as Any Thorn

[argosy]

This was originally posted at dmhgficexchange's Celebrate the Season with Draco and Hermione.

Here it is in a slightly revised version. Unless you memorized the old draft -- which of course you should have -- you probably won't notice much difference. A few moments have been expanded, some lines that made me cringe have been rewritten and so on. So no need to

Okay, I did practically memorize the first version, so I'm going to really pore over this one with a fine-toothed comb! Actually, I imagine that if you're happier with this one, then it is certain to be superb.

In any event, I popped in before I read it to mention that you should submit this to the On-line Wizarding Library or OWL. They're wonderfully welcoming, and I've just recently moved most of my work there.

All the best, and I'm going to read this again as my dessert, but for now I must make dinner for the eager sons who are salivating at my elbow!

I lied, because I just revised it since I posted (a couple of typos and about 15 words *grins*) But now it's done honest and for true. It's a relief!

[bambu345]

I completely understand, and I have yet to tackle "Paladins" which I must, but I fear I've just had some very real work dumped in my lap which will take precedence over everything. It's a short-terms hard deadline sort of project and I've just been pulled into the team.

I will be commiserating with you about lack of time to write... even if my project will be great in the back end.

Anyway, I hope to see your name pop up on OWL one of these days. They really are very nice over there.

No, I mean this is it now, the final version (sounds ominous). So you can read it if you so desire. :P Good luck with your new project.

I have registered at OWL, and I'll try posting over the weekend. Then I shall await fame and fortune. ;P

[harmony_bites]

Submitted to OWL eh? I'll wait to read and review there then so you'll be sure to have a nice welcome

[argosy]

Thanks for all the advice. I definitely appreciate it. And I also appreciate you going into detail! I need to learn this stuff somewhere; I didn't pick it up in school. :)

I'm about to try posting to OWl. Cross your fingers...

[ordinary_magic]

You don't have to cross your fingers. I appreciate the trust in uploading your story to OWL, and we're working it in the validation queue now. Should be up on the site in a few minutes.

[argosy]

Awesome. Thanks! *grins*

[happyeaster]

That was fun. :) Somehow, I missed the pumpkin juice scene when I read it on dmhgficexchange, so I'm glad I re-read it.

Spelling error: The older Wesley nodded.

Thank you both for the compliment and the typo-finding. Although perhaps for a moment I was writing Angel fic. It's possible. ;D

[anonymous]

nicely done.. Fanfiction is a place you can always post it..

[argosy]

Thank you, Anonymous Person!

I absolutely adored this story. I read it over in Pureblood and fell in love with it, it is in my favorites over there, and I made sure to put in my memories here. You are a very good writer. I love it!

[argosy]

Aww, thank you! Feel free to friend me if you like, or just wait for more fic on Pureblood or OWL. There is another Draco/Hermione that you can track down via my LJ, or even better, you can wait for the new and improved version which should be up within the week.

I really appreciate your kind comments, and that you took the time to let me know you liked the story!

[chavelaprincess]

Oh! Totally awesome! I will be more than happy to friend you, you are more then welcome to friend me as well.

I will look forward to any and more of you Draco and Hermione stories that come.

[argosy]

Cool. Nice icon -- my Sirius /Bella I just put up here has some BDSM, if your interested. *wink*

I will definitely friend you back. As for my fiction -- I'm never going to be as prolific as a lot of people, but there should be more on the way. ;)
