Hello and salutations! My name is Melodie, aka ISolemnlySwear934, and I want to start off by offering copious thanks to anyone and everyone involved in the process by which I was nominated for this. It is an honor and a privilege! I was sent this nifty list of questions which I have very creatively copied into this post, and presto, there's my

Congrats! I was so happy to see your penname when the 'featured' things were updated on the website - you more than deserve it, my dear!

Now, as for some questions (because I totally have to ask something) :

1 - I'm so glad to hear that you'll not be abandoning Seasons Without - I am in love with what you have started! - even if RL takes over for awhile. Do you typically plot out the storyline before you write or does that come to you on the fly? And are there possibly any vague spoilers (keyword 'vague', because I wouldn't want to be spoiled too much) in regards to SW/O that you don't mind giving out to tide us (me) over until you get back to it? Maybe something like length or character cameos?

2 - After you finish up with The Interred and Seasons Without, do you have plans for any other Dramione stories?

Alright, I have done my duty and given you something to answer.
(After all, what is Q & A, without any Q's?)

Congrats again! And thank you for sharing your lovely stories with us! It has been my pleasure to read them - even when they are epilogue compliant.

Why thank you so very much for the lovely comments/questions! Let's see:

1. I do loosely plot out stories in the sense that I always know where they're going (I find if you start blind it tends to turn into an incoherent mess), but I almost never know the ending at first. It's more fun that way. Seasons Without will be about two more chapters and an epilogue, by my estimation. Character cameos may include Sir Cadogan, Percy Weasley, Kreacher, and a Very Important Person who is one of a group of four, and will remain unnamed. (Cryptic enough? Sorry, I just don't want to ruin it...)

2. I don't think I'll be writing any more chaptered Dramione fics for a while due to time constraints, but I do have a few one-shots planned that I may be able to work on over Christmas. The first is an AU war fic with Draco working for the order. The second is a completely insane crack!fic of Draco as the Grinch, trying to steal Christmas from Hogsmeade.

I hope this adequately answers your questions, thanks again! Cheers :)
