Follow Your Inner Moonlight

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.

Author's Notes: In making this a 100-word drabble, I lost the bit where you're told that this takes place during the first couple weeks of their first year. I've just realized that's a little bit important, so I thought I should point it out.

I love writing dialog, so that's what I've done here. This is my second drabble that's entirely talking with no written action, but it's the first one where there's not actually any action going on. The other was a bit of a tiff between Minerva and Moody, and in my head I could see them moving about and talking with their hands and such.

This one's just two boys laying in their beds, one curled on his side with his eyes shut, the other laying on his back staring up into utter darkness, talking back and forth.
