Ahhh! I voted for this!

I loved it!!!

Love love loved it!

In other news, gl with your list. I've had such a hard time getting things done this week. Blegh. But I'm so glad that you're doing NaNoWriMo. I see some serious encouragement parties in our futures.

[illusionrain]

/blushes. Really? I didn't think it was really ... vote worthy. I was pretty sure I'd be voted off first round, ffft. Idk, I'm thinking ldws might just kill me dead.

Thanks for the good luck, though <3 Gonna need it if I'mma stay awake long enough to see everything through.

And me too! So glad you're doing NaNoWriMo. It's a bit intimidating doing it alone. Yay for encouragement parties! we can invite dexstarr, too, to make sure we stay halfway sane!

[scarysnapey]

It was soooooo cute.

I definitely left feedback that said that.
But.

CUTE.

Also, how did you go about the outlining process, because I'm in the middle of it right now and I'm totally curious.

[illusionrain]

<3!

Well, when I start outlines, I always jot down the major plot points I want to cover. In this case, the Awakening of a reincarnated soul. The need to break the bonds of fate. And the eventual decision to sever that connection forever, even if it means giving up a best friend who he would only hurt in the end. Then went back and added small plot points I wanted to cover under that.

I've had the basic rough draft of this done for a while, but yesterday I went back and fleshed out the characters (giving the main female lead a very formal way of talking, giving one of the main guys a phobia of snakes, etc.)

All that's left is to straighten out plot holes, which will probably take forever because there are SO MANY, and get some events straight in my head. How's your outline coming along, though?

capslock AMAZING capslock.
I love Harry's insight and a small part of me admits Potter is insightful, and I can see this scene pictured so unnervingly in Seveus' mind.
I ADORE THIS!!!

[illusionrain]

<3!! Your comments always make my day. I'm glad you thought it was insightful in its own way. I had no idea why I went this angle after I scrapped the original submission, but I definitely like this one better.

[dexstarr]

I miiiiiiiiiiissss you! :D

Cute drabble, and now I see where that question came from!

And pffft. You better invite me! You guys have been keeping me sane, and it's only fair that I give some back <3

[illusionrain]

/flails. I miss you too! I don't even know how I got so backlogged on everything, orz. I blame the roommate who refuses to pick up her in end of the chores /curses. I cannot wait to move out of dorm life next year! ... but enough of that, haha. I'll try to be on tonight =D How goes fest writing?!

And thank you! You definitely helped with the lunula part <3

;) You know we will invite you to the party. We should just randomly have writing discussion/celebrating every month lol idk. xDD ... OOOH. For starters we should throw you a shindig when you're done writing fest stuff!! YES!

[dexstarr]

11,000+ words. I swear, you have my permission to bash my head in or something if I ever do this again - wait until so late to start a fest fic. Of course I didn't think it was going to BE this damn long.

Dorm life is so much fun, isn't it? I lived in a dorm all 4 years because I was too lazy to get an apartment, but I got singles after the first year.

I am in full support of these writing parties :D You can scrape my brains off the floor come November, and I'll do the same for you when Nano is over! lol

[illusionrain]

xD It's like a fest fic turned into a pet project that wants to consume your brain! be written no matter what!

Ack, understated sarcasm! Heh, I get a reprieve on weekends, though. I stay at my friend's flat that I'm helping her pay for. She has a little to look after so I try my best to help out when I can.

SWEET! <3!!

[starduchess]

I thought this was cute but wanted it to be much longer. It would make a great one-shot. How did Harry get to that time? Why is he eleven? How will the relationship develop? Will Lily be jealous? What will the Marauders do to Harry? So many questions spring up from this!

Excellent characterization of young Snape, haughty and demeaning and sullen and slightly insecure. Good job.

[illusionrain]

<3 You really think so? It was originally longer, I had to force it down to 300 to fit with word limit. I think I might expand on it, though. Add a follow-up to answer some of those excellent questions you provided~!

Glad to hear you liked young!Snape. He's kind fun to write xD

[starduchess]

Those darn word limits. It was problematic for keppiehed, too. She told me she kept cutting hers down and sometimes that makes it slightly incoherent.

[illusionrain]

Word limits can be a bit of a snag when you're writing something that baits those giddy little plot bunnies, haha. I usually don't mind writing under a word limit, but that one drove me nuts trying to conform to it! And yeah, chopping it down makes it read less coherently than it should. I tried to alter words to fix that, but idk. The thought of making this into a one-shot appeals to me, so I might just expand from here, who knows. Have to find the time! I feel like my time is out the window this week sjljdks.

.. and sorry, I'm babbling, I'll stop now!
