marguerite_261) Someday I would like the courage to write something long. Just to know I could do it.

hd_fanart fest starts tomorrow!!! *grabby hands*
3) putting not enough butter into your Rice Krispie Squares causes nasty dishes
4) I wrote out 3k of my hols fic in my notebook ALL IN PRESENT TENSE. Now I have the horrid task of flipping the tense while I am typing it in. I have a feeling my beta is going to murder me for all the shit I'm going to miss. eta: It is not that I don't want to write in present tense, it's that the first half of the fic is all past tense. :D
5) Luffs you!
6) Alaana_fair's top/bottom fic rocks my socks off.
7) Lee's not yet written squeal to Scorpius Malfoy's Very Bad Week has me squeeing with delight. Teddy's POV is jfksdjkflsd!!! ♥ *gropes Lee's muse*
8) I so loved: Don’t Let’s Stop, or The Case of the Dead Philandering Politician (A Draco Malfoy Mystery) *pictures Harry with David Boreanaz's cocky/sweet smile*
9) History of the War was EPICCALLY fantastic. (mind the warnings, but know that it is all important to the plot and not gratuitous)
10) Anybody out there that has not yet read Small Blessings? it is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. It's a kids and snowball fights and hot chocolate kind of fic. :D
hmm... 10's a good number to end this on. Have a lovely day, my pretties. ♥
ETA item 11!!
11) Discovering that you are TWO chapters behind on Truth in Advertising and that a new chapter will be posted soon is like Christmas morning! Except that I might EXPLODE from the UST. nnnnnnnngh. Sansa, dear... you fucking KILL ME. They are just like fucking 'standing around' and I am squirming in my chair.

Erm... speaking of stories, I meant to ask you. Remember my career_fair prompt? Well, there's another partly-written story for that. One that includes the next-gen kids, which I had to discard because Draco kept not showing up, and er... well, it kept turning into Harry/Scorpius. Would it be okay, if I finished that story some day? As a Harry/Scorpius story (even though it was a Harry/Draco prompt)?

Date: 2009-09-30 04:36 pm (UTC)Oh I hate that.
I'm in the middle of editing a 60,000 word fic and mentioned to one of my betas it needed to be checked as I'd changed tense during one rewrite, and she said "Oh but surely that's a detail you can worry about later?"
O_O
Nope. Not actually.
Links! You give me links when I should be writing? Shame on you! *goes to read*

Date: 2009-09-30 05:22 pm (UTC)ME TOO. Well, not a hols fic, but about 3k of somethingorother. It's no big thing as I usually write in present tense but I decided to change it to past and ugh. I keep spotting ones I've missed.
no subject
Date: 2009-09-30 05:22 pm (UTC)ZOMG!!! I LOVE your CF fic. :DD
4) present tense. Hee! the issue is the 3k I have already typed in is all past tense! *g*
5) YAY! ♥

Date: 2009-09-30 05:22 pm (UTC)Art Fest, Art Fest! :D
Just read Small Blessings yesterday afternoon!!! I'm soooo in love with it, and I need to go leave a good comment. History of War and All That Remains are the only ones left at the moment that I want to read. Will get to them eventually!
no subject
Date: 2009-09-30 05:25 pm (UTC)I actually do like present tense sometimes, it's very intimate. Just... I am not re-writing the entire first few scene (I luffs them!) and you!!!

no subject
Date: 2009-09-30 05:27 pm (UTC)And I'm seriously psyched that you like the story. *beams*
Ah, yes, switching tenses is bad. I've done that myself, though, and it's a bitch to get out.
no subject
Date: 2009-09-30 05:34 pm (UTC)heh. indeed. God, flipping tense is just not so easy sometimes. There are words that just sound better in present tense. Like 'opines' Great word. Not nearly as pretty in any other tense. :D
Links! hee! enjoy.
no subject
Date: 2009-09-30 05:36 pm (UTC)Totally the worst part.
Also, somethings just don't sound the same when you flip them and I find myself re-writing sentences. It's taking forever to type in. :(((

Date: 2009-09-30 05:41 pm (UTC)Reading present tense is another issues. Especially when I am reading fics back to back (as I have been for the last few months *cough*) I find it hard to read a present tense without getting jarred out of the fic but the 'unexpectedness' of it.
*luffs, too*

Date: 2009-09-30 05:47 pm (UTC)LOL! What I really need is a spell to put my scribbles in my notebook into Word and fix all the typos and SPaG. Can you do that for me? :DDD
YAY for ART FEST!!!
I'm glad you are enjoying CF! comments! *meep* I am so behind. Well behind in the sense that I think I have left two. *headdesk*

Date: 2009-09-30 06:15 pm (UTC)I'm VERY sure you could write something long, darling. It's just a collection of short things with a lot of cheerleading and smoothing. I'd love to see anything of yours, long or short.
I am in love with Concerto for Two Voices (http://community.livejournal.com/hd_career_fair/14079.html) from
Wasn't Alaana's bottom war fic just AMAZING? *hearts*
no subject
Date: 2009-09-30 06:24 pm (UTC)bwahahahahaha!!! Very true!
I think might make it a project for 2010. Write something longer than 20k, even if it takes the entire year.
Have not read Concerto for Two Voices yet! but I have it printed out beside me. :D
off to read!
glad to see you back around, darling. ♥

Date: 2009-09-30 06:26 pm (UTC)Speaking of which, I might need you to look something over for me. That is, if you can :-)
no subject
Date: 2009-09-30 06:29 pm (UTC)Why do I have a feeling you know who wrote that? *G*
no subject
Date: 2009-09-30 06:34 pm (UTC)Depending on how quick you need fb. Might not be able to get back to you until Monday-ish.
Also, you know I don't do SPaG, yes? *g*

Date: 2009-09-30 06:38 pm (UTC)CF has been wonderful. And I'm really making an effort to leave comments, especially since I've been in a bad habit of not leaving them.
no subject
Date: 2009-09-30 06:45 pm (UTC)I'd love to read History of War because everyone is squeeing over it, but I can't because of the [spoiler], you know? Ah well, I just know there are lots of other goodies for me to enjoy.

The world is a lovely place.
Oh and by the way, yes, I read your fic and I really enjoy it. You should grace us with more! :D

Date: 2009-09-30 08:00 pm (UTC)12. Done. Tentacle porn has 6K words. No, really. I've sent it to Cheryl, but she might get it back to me and tell me it sucks. It's very likely actually. But y'know, DUDE, 6000 words of tentacle porn. Wtf, fever?
Edited because I can't count.
