It's clearly been too long

since I last posted anything to this site - the font colour of my posts appears as a murky grey on my feed and I have bugger all idea how to change it! This site is what taught me html, which I think I've also long forgotten. That's the problem with making the move to Tumblr; it's very easy to become lazy. I'm also purely a consumer of fan content

I've really been thinking about this the last few days; why I wrote and why I stopped, and it's made me very introspective and maudlin!

I've always written in some form or another, but I don't think I ever actually finished writing a story until I first published something online and people reacted to it, which gave me all the impetus I needed to complete the fic and then try my hand at more. I still get comments now about that story (good ole Fade to Grey!) I've not read it since it was posted so I can't comment on what it was actually like, but that ability to reach people through words... my goodness.

I would totally be up for being given prompts! I can't say that anything would come of it, but it would be lovely if something did. toblass has provided me with a little prompt which I'm finding very hard to fill, but the academic process of typing one word after another is proving to be rather satisfying. I don't think that the thing I'm writing will be worth publishing, but at least I will have a few hundred words of something of something.

So yes please, prompt me. But only if you're willing to wait six months for something that may or may not happen!

Right on!

Hmm... I suppose the first prompt would be "Finish Tyger, Tyger," so the second prompt would be...

- they meet up again ten years after the war at a vineyard
- they're on a magical research expedition to the jungle
- something set in Spain (because I hold to the irrational belief that Severus saved his mum as a part of his deal with Dumbledore, so she ended up living her best life with a new Spanish name, and I'm going to say that Severus does, too)
- they're now both employed at one of the OTHER magical schools
- Severus is now joining Hermione as a colleague at St Mungo's

I think Tyger is what finished me off in the first place! Who knows what I was planning to have happen next - I sure don't!

As for your other prompts, I'm going to save them somewhere to mull over.

Oh, and I followed the link to read all about the bookclub (I'm helped run two waterstones bookclubs and one of them was definitely that pretentious - i think it all depends if a man is running it!) I've not commented yet as I'm not signed it, but I love this Eileen! I don't think I've ever seen her made fun and interesting before, I love it!

THEN SCRAP WHAT I JUST SAID ABOUT TYGER!!!!! If it's a burden, just forget about it. Besides, you're the master of the long one-shot!

After reading oodles of sad sap Eileens, I thought there needed to be some that were drastically different! It always seemed like Sev struck a pretty crap deal with Dumbledore for just Lily-who-was-already-married, so... what if he'd added his mum to the deal? Once she was away from Tobias, she could FLOURISH.
