september 07 writing round-up

[thewlisian_afer]

Note that here "canon-compliant" is really more like "not blatantly contradicting canon." Whereas hpsixwords stuff ... is. Because we're on crack over there, yo. It's "19 years later" and a whole bunch of dead people are back. I don't think we really know why. They just ... are. I guess because it's fun and we're not bothering anybody except maybe occasionally each other. XD

And guys? I'm usually not one to actually ask for feedback but I'm kind of proud of a couple of these even though I've been really despising my writing lately so it'd be cool if I got some encouragement and/or concrit.

from shy_sly_lupin:

The hpsixwords AU got a little intense and heavy for some of the players, so another community was created. grownhp6words takes place ten years after the events of its mother community. In this universe, Remus (r_moony) and Tonks (pinkhairedauror) have three kids after Teddy; twin girls named Andrea Cassiopeia and Annabella Minerva, and a boy a year younger named Harry Alastor. I have the immense pleasure of writing Anna Min.

Here are some fun facts about her, including what she thinks about each member of her immediate family.

As I was reading The Book of Werewolves by Sabine Baring-Gould, Anna Min had a reaction to a passage. I turned it into a scene/ficlet which you can read here.

As always, comments are welcome. Rule(s) are as follows: if you comment on either of these journals when I write in them from a first person POV, I'll answer with the character if the replies aren't marked as OOC. So comments on characterization and the writing in general and things like that should have an "OOC" label in the subject line. I'm more than happy to talk to you as the character, though, as long as the post was from a first person POV to begin with.

Yes, hello. Would it be possible for our muses to talk so that my muse can get some pointers from your muse so I can finally get this storyline out of my head? Thank you.

That being said, wow. I like your tone of writing and your pace.

I'll never stop loving that icon. It's exactly the smart-ass sort of thing I used to do in high school when I didn't know how to find the real answers. XD

Anyway, yes, of course, muse chatting! The little me's in my head might pop in with some opinions, as well. Toss an email my way and I'll be happy to get my crazeh on. hahaha

And thanks! :D

If my freshman math teacher hadn't been the varsity football coach and athletic director, if my sophomore teacher I hadn't had a bit of a crush on, and if my junior/senior teacher hadn't been a former bouncer/extremely scary, I would have done the same. And thanks, I love it too.

As soon as I start finish this PowerPoint for my development psych class, I will do that.

I just finished reading!

My two favs are probably:

Remus/Tonks as kids "I wont forget you, ever" Heartbreakingly sweet. That could've been tears if I hadn't just read...

Remus/Severus. Too funny. And sad, and sweet, and cute. And funny again. The mental image of a sleep-drunk Sev flopping over ZOMG ENIME!Remus (from sev's POV, that is) accidentally proclaiming his secret love of Lily. Poor guy. I really hope he doesn't remember any of that in the morning. And I hope it was James who messed with the potion.

Remus' concrit of Sev was very accurate. Well played!


I also REALLY liked Remus' Writer's Block on McGonagall. It was a peek into McGonagall's .. (um, words fail...) inner workings?

Honestly, there really weren't any I didn't like. There were some I didn't truly understand because they had characters I don't know anything about (Alice, Andromeda, etc.)

And over all, I enjoy reading something that really does feel as if Remus is actually writing it in real time.
