Post-war fic!

Jun 28, 2006 23:25

Well, the recent JKR interview was going to be the starting point for a discussion I've been having with myself about the various endings it's possible to have for favourite characters - do we always want the happy ending? However, I was then going to end up with a fic which has already taken me a ridiculously long time to finish, given that it was ( Read more... )

I like how...piece-y this piece is. No long, complicated backstory or sweeping, moral statement or over-simplification of after the war. It's jsut three people who were thrown together due to circumstances outside their control and who are trying to make the best of it. It feels like a touchstone, and as soon as I read this I started getting all kinds of wonderful before and afters going through my head. It's people being people, and that makes it perfect.
(Plus, Luna and Neville are spot on, and I do like your Theodore. Yay for non-icky Slytherins!)

Ooh, new commenter! Hallo, and thank you so much for your kind words. How did you find me? I hope you enjoyed your before and afters - I haven't decided on most of them myself, so feel free to make up whatever you like!

Theodore is being rather insistent at the moment, just as I'm meant to be writing for femgenficathon... I might well end up having to write more him soon. Yay for non-icky Slytherins, indeed. But very glad you thought Neville and Luna were in character. I hadn't tried writing them before.

Neville weekly newsletter or something like that. Ran a sarch on Alice/Frank cuz I'm weird like that, found the newsletter, and found your piece- which isn't Alice/Frank, but is very good regardless.

Best of luck with Theodore and the whole him not being properly female. =D

That's very interesting - I'd not heard of that comm before, and it's good to know there's somewhere I can go to find Longbottom fic. Suspect lyras must have let them know, bless her! Thanks very much for dropping by and commenting.

Nothing weird about going looking for Alice/Frank, by the way - admire your taste!
