Starting Up
Hmmm… how to start (tapping my finger against my chin)…
I signed up to LJ for the first time yesterday. I have delusions of a fan base - on fanfiction.net I am on the favourties list of 161 members and 178 members have me on author alert. I am positive the vast majority of those are double-ups but I’ll take what I can get. On Granger Enchanted I am a favourite of 20 members and on The Maple Bookshelf it is 16 members. I am happy with that :)
All that is by way of saying that if even one of you click over to here and have a look then YAY!
At the moment I am working on the prequel to ‘They Married Who?’ This will be a chronological tale from the moment Harry and Ron leave on their quest to ‘find themselves’ up until they return and find that Ginny and Hermione have married and procreated with Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy respectively. I am trying to get a lot of it written before I start posting it though so the updates can be fairly regular.
I am also trying a multi-chapter ss/hg fic but it is fighting me a bit. With that one I guess it doesn’t matter if I just go back and forth to it until I get it right. Snape is *very* OOC in this, I have written him as the man he wished he always could have been now that he is free to live his life. A few glimpses of our favourite Potions Master will pop up now and then but ultimately, he is a different man.
In the meantime I will be posting a one-shot every two weeks in The Quidditch League Fan Fiction Competition. I’ll be honest, some of these stories aren’t that great and I am undecided as to whether or not I will leave them up after the competition has finished. When you are on a strict deadline and given a prompt to write to, it can be difficult to produce your best work. It is one reason I include in my summary that the story is for the competition, if someone who has no desire to read something like that then they are free to click back.
So, these are my thoughts on a Saturday night in September. Kevin Rudd is currently conceding the election but it looks like he will stay as leader of the Labor Party… let’s see how Tony Abbot does now…
