Art Post: After the Die is Cast

[mudblood428]

As promised, we have an art update. This is a scene out of Chapter 10 of my fanfic, After the Die is Cast in which Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Draco find Harry after Snape, in his dying breath, tells him what he must do in order to survive (yes, that's Dead!Snape on the ground there). Here's the moment:

"Let me through.” Ginny sprang forward and

Purty, as usual. =) I love each of their expressions, and you draw such nice hands! I'm particularly noticing Ginny's and Hermione's right now. Which would make sense as those are the main visible hands...

Ah well. Very good. I may have to make some time to go read your fic after all. =)

Many thanks :). I'm a hands fanatic - it's one of the first things I notice about people, so I tend to put a little more effort into drawing them.

So happy you're thinking of checking out the fic :). The first chapter is somewhat cumbersome and will be rewritten in the near future (since I was too eager to skip to the final battle to start the fic at the beginning of Year 7 and wound up writing a prologue to get people up to speed instead), but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless :).

I shall certainly let you know if I do, which I'm sure I will. =)

I usually don't read many 'what should/might happen' fics. I tend to stick to the odd, never ever going to happen variety, like dark fics, and Voldy victory fics. And humor/parody, of course. =) Probably because that makes it easier for me to separate them from what JKR is actually writing... =)

But your artwork is intriguing me, so yes, I shall check it out sometime in the near future.

*art love* =)

Ah yes, I love the subversive genres :). I followed one of your fic recs to a brilliant Harry/Draco fic and it damn near made me cry.

It's funny, because I had never even thought of doing HP fanfiction until someone came to me with the argument of "Harry (nor his scar) could never be a Horcrux because it's implausible and he'd have to die." I was like, "Dude, you're talking to an English MA student. Is that a challenge?" So I sat down and mapped out a plot that is based 99.9% on everything we've read so far and takes on the Harry/Horcrux issue just for the sake of saying "not so implausible after all, is it?"

Thus, AtDic was born and it quickly took on a life of its own. If my art has nudged you towards reading it, even if you never get around to it, I'm still gratified to know it :).

Ooooh... so you're going with the Harry/scar=Horcrux idea? I'm even more intrigued. =)

I'm also wondering which fic rec of mine you may have followed, because I don't read slash, as a main pairing anyway. o.O Though many of my favorite authors/darkfic lovers are quite fond of H/D, so I can see how the breadcrumbs could lead there. =)

You know... I honestly can't remember now... Bizarre, I could have sworn it was you, but it's possible I've confused things and perhaps associated a comment of yours with an actual entry and goodness gracious my mind is going down the crapper! I'll have to take a moment and see if I can relocate it.

PS: I've started posting the chapters of AtDic on LJ. Chapter one is up on hp_cafe and is rather brief and perfunctory, if I do say so myself. The ones that follow it are considerably meatier and finally get to the heart of the Harry/Horcrux issue :). Anyway, if you're curious or just looking to kill 15 minutes, I hope you'll check it out!
