hp_summergen stuff
hp_summergen reveals are up! So I can finally lay claim to the fic I wrote. It's completely A/U now, as the main character is *sniff* dead.
Title: The Cycle of Reconstruction
Rating (which I forgot to give when submitting!): PG
Characters: Remus Lupin, James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger
Notes: The prompt, given by antonia_east, was 'the trio or the Marauders, or Remus at any age and something hopeful set in war.' I tried to put all of it together, and I couldn’t stop Remus’s childhood from creeping in.
cassibill was an absolute darling with all her help about planes, and snorkackcatcher was fantastic with beta work and Brit-picking. Thanks, guys!
( Remus was five when he pieced together his first model aeroplane)
So, now that it's over,
It was my first exchange, so I wasn't all that familiar with the ins and outs of it. Coming up with a specific fic for someone gave me a bit of nervousness - what if the story I wrote wasn't good enough? Especially when I discovered that my recipient was an amazing writer herself - not that I wouldn't have given my best for anyone else, but it was just a subconscious belief that I had a lot to match up to.
In the end, I think she liked it (even though it was all A/U by the time it was posted), so yay!
The whole secrecy thing was fun. Suspenseful and sometimes I was just dying to reveal myself ... and I probably made a mistake thanking cassibill and snorkackcatcher in my A/N, but I hope there was no harm done there. As I said, I didn't know exactly what's done or not in exchanges yet.
And I must be the only person in the exchange besides the pinch-hitters to receive two gift fics, even if one is unofficial. msmoocow's Summer Roses isn't part of the exchange any more, but it is beautiful, and you're really missing out if you don't go read it. I'm still quite tickled by the fact that she drew my request.
Yay for reveals now. I can go and find out who wrote my favourites! :)
