i don't even....whatever

Sep 22, 2010 20:28

I have no life, even now that I'm in college. I had too much free time so I decided to start writing again. I mean, it's not like I'm not writing much in school, what with all the massive papers i'm being assigned left and right. pfft.

It's been a looooong time since I've written anything, and that's probably evident. This is me getting my feet ( Read more... )

Stop berating yourself. This was good. I always felt Harry would feel guilty for living when others didn't, especially since they died because of him. I can see everyone going "Congrats, Harry, you won! Be happy! Those others will be happy that they died for something good, for freedom and life." and then Harry thinking, "Yeah, but I should have died too."

thanks! I am so hard on myself, and I know it, and i'm trying not to be, but I haven't written in a while so I'm thinking "wow, this is terrible" about everything even if it's not.
but I'm glad you liked it.
And yes, I agree (obviously haha), I can see Harry going one of two ways after the war-having survivor's guilt, like here, or diving head-first into the reconstruction of Hogwarts and the Wizarding World in general. I'm really glad you thought it was... believable, I guess. lol

This was really excellent. You write a lot like I do. I liked it a lot :)

aw thanks, you have no idea what that means coming from you. I've always adored your work, so thanks! :)
this was my first time writing like this. So I was nervous about it. I was worried my point wouldn't come across, or that I'd give too much or too little detail. So I'm glad it did. :) :)

"Mum can't lose another son, mate."

What a beautifuly executed line, so sad and heart-achingly true at the same time :(. I loved this, so much said in so few words, the true gift of a writer. The ending was just perfect, unexpected yet inevitably the only logical ending :).

aww, thank you. :D
I'm glad you liked it. I'm sure I'll be writing a hundred more angsty drabbles like this over the weekend now that DH is out and I'm all sentimental ;)

It was really good, don't worry! :)
Haha, oh I know! xD I'm seeing DH in aprrox 11 hours *flails madly* and I can just smell the angsty remus/tonks drabbes that will inevitaly come! :P

lauraelizabeth9 November 20 2010, 01:03:51 UTC

i'm already anxious to see it again. :D
oh man, if they don't have Remus's and Tonks' deaths I'm going to be so angry. I'm going to be bawling like a baby the entire time. As in, I'll be inconsolable. haha. No one in my theater cried when Dobby died last night, and I felt like such an idiot but it was sad! how can you not? :(
