Saturday morning musings

I'm knackered, groggy and, blissfully, I'm drinking strong coffee. And the spouse just took the kids to the park.

Recs:
~ A Lesson in Breaking [Snape/Harry, Snape/Draco, NC-17, warnings] by fleshdress
fleshdress is one of the few people who can get me to read Snape/Harry, which is one of my no-no pairings, but I thought this was brilliant. Full of ouchy emotions

Are you kidding? I'm still on the edge of my chair for updates from mistful She's got a post HBP WIP and a Draco's a Ravenclaw WIP. Both are fantastic. Furiosity and imadra_blue are working on their sequel to their BBBII collaboration. It's going to be a trilogy. Plus the two you've already mentioned.

I forgot about mistful's, but I just haven't felt the excitement that I used to have about reading WIPs. And I don't really see much talk about them on my flist either. YMMV, of course:)

At the moment, Shadow of his Wings is the only one I will drop everything to read. The rest are: I'll get to them when I have time, or I'll wait until they're complete.

Oh. In that case, yeah, I'm kind of feeling that too. I don't know if JKR has taught me patience, but I don't seemed to get as worked up about wanting an update. I think if they were on a more regular updating schedule it would be easier to get excited... as it is, we can go weeks/months sometimes. Still, it sort of makes my day when they post and I've got time to read it right then. ;)

Maybe I should have clarified that and said event WIPs. There certainly are a lot still being posted on harrydraco and other het comms of varying degrees of quality.

varying degrees of quality
*snort* indeed. ;)
