Roundup Meme (Fics Meme) 2009
Every end of year I post this meme. You can read the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 versions here (LJ) or here (IJ) (scroll down).
Surprisingly, I wrote three flashfics this year. (I hadn’t written any fics in 2008 and didn’t expect to write any fics in 2009 either.) But it’s still too few stories to do the meme properly, so I’ll just comment briefly on the three stories.
The first one, Du oder Sie, is a Snarry ficlet in German. Extremely short, just 72 words. Unfortunately, I had to stop studying German again. It’s not an easy language for someone whose first language is a Latin one, and I had more urgent things to do.
The second one, What it really matters, is a Gen flashfic featuring Snape and Dumbledore after "Deathly Hallows". Totally canon compliant. It’s a strange short story, especially because the scenery is a kind of Gothic Heaven.
The third flashfic is another one that I didn’t translate into English. I wrote Sempre o Herói (Always the Hero) for the Open Fest Magalúdico, a fest in hommage to my beloved friend magalud. It’s a Gen (or perhaps pre-Het) flashfic featuring Snape and Lud herself. A Snaplud ;-). I posted it on potterslashfics, a friends-only community for HP slash in Portuguese.
I didn’t write any original fiction. (I’ve been working on my Master’s dissertation, which has already about 65,000 words.) A few days ago I had an idea for a new original story, but I’ll tell you about it in a future post.
