It came to my attention last night that today is three years exactly since I posted my first HP fanfic. (No, please don't go read it. Really!) Okay, so I still have a bit of a soft spot for it, and really, over the years there's only been one fic that I've posted that I didn't like (and I "didn't like it" so much that I never bothered to post it ( Read more... )

Saturday evening

1. Read entire Wiki entry with regard to "Chronicles of Narnia".
2. Checked Flists.
3. Skimmed quickly through "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe".
4. Tried to do some research on gaslamps.
5. Jotted down a few notes so it looked like I actually did something productive ( Read more... )

1. So. I'm writing a MWPP/Narnia crossover. Yes, I know I still have a Snarry fic that I promised to write. But this Narnia thing is eating my brain, and in my head, it's multi part and fucking epic, and it's scaring me. Why? I do not do epics.

I had started re-reading Deathly Hallows almost immediately after I'd finished it.

There was ficcage earlier. It's my Springsmut fic, and now that I've had time to let it ( Read more... )

This is such a bad time for me to be musing on meta-ish topics - I've got a busy few days ahead, I'm still feeling very out of it, and I don't know if I'll get around to promptly replying to comments… *eyes last meta post and other recent posts and blushes furiously*…but seeing as how I've been reading a lot of pairings outside my "usual" fare, ( Read more... )

Ah well, one out of three.

Oh boy.

Lots of kerfluffle over faithfulreader's opinions about gay sex and gay porn.

Contrary to several posts and replies within those posts, (not on my flist), I didn't offer up my fic/scene for him to tell me what was "wrong" with it as 'slash'. Not because I'm insecure about my writing, or because I need to sit at the feet ( Read more... )
