urbandruidI've got to get my act together, get my sites up. I write something I actually want to share with people, I want to be able to do it right away.
Sent this one to Fiction Alley, so eventually it will be up there. Also finally got it uploaded to fanfiction.net, and hate myself for going to the effort...
Anyway. The Secret Hours
Harry Potter. Snape/McGonagall. A Chamber of Secrets what-if. Probably first in a series. Because don't you ever wonder why, when things happen, no matter what strange hour it is, Snape is always followed immediatly by McGonagall, or vice versa?
I probably should have started with Sorcerer's Stone instead, but I was reading Chamber when this one hit me, so...
I've also got two multi-chapter fics that are going up with the Urbandruid pages; one is the post-GoF fic I'm trying desperatly to finish before Order of the Phoenix comes out; the other is a serious epic, starting with Voldemort's first rise and probably going clear through to his second. I'll probably do some fast-forwarding after Halloween of '81, skip forward to Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts, maybe... haven't gotten that far yet on the outline.
Silly thing about that story, really- I started it as a vignette, just a short Minerva point of view. And then it just started growing, until I started sketching out the chapters- and I used to hate outlines- and realized just how large it was going to be when it grew up. I was trying to keep it within canon, but I already had to fudge it a little.
I was just going to sit on both of these fics until they were done, but it seemed silly to only have my single completed HP fic on the sites.
Yep. I'm going through a Potter phase.
And I could kill FF.N for having that lovely little 'select your main characters' thing and not bloody listing Minerva McGonagall.
They have Filch listed, though. Argh!

Re: Ooh! "Emerald and Ebony" :)
Date: 2003-06-01 06:33 pm (UTC)Removing fics from FA...hmm. Not sure really, but I would think you could email them and ask them to take your fic down for you if you really wanted to. As long as you leave it around somewhere- I'd like to read it.
Oh, ff.net just bothers me sometimes. It's always crashing, and while they say they accept HTML files I've never been able to get one of mine to upload right. Little things like that which annoy me a lot sometimes. Plus, a lot of the fic is...kind of bad. The downside to the automatated process- but I do like that. It's easy to get things up, when it works.
I absolutely agree about exploring what isn't in canon- it's half the fun. But I'll tell you, never in any other fandom have I gotten so much crap about going outside canon- actually that's not what I've been told. The phrasing people use is, this is wrong. Which pushes my "Slytherin sarcasm" buttons real quickly. And if I hear Minerva McGonagall is 70 one more time...
Yep, it's the snowball fic! It would have made a nice vignette, too. Not that I mind, really- I'm having fun with the snowball.
Shudder. Please never say Filch and sexy in the same sentence again. Yeesh. I can't imagine why- Maybe they should be emailed about this. Strange how they think around there, though; Voldemort is Lord V. I'm sure most of us can figure out who that is, but what if they'd done You-Know-W.? Look kind of silly, wouldn't it?
Thank you for the long, rambly comment; I like long rambly comments, and I also like responding to them.
Hope you like the fic, but don't feel obligated to tell me it doesn't suck if you think it does. :)
