I'm told I've improved as a writer. That's a good thing, too. I look back at some of my early stuff and go... oh boy.

Here's the order I wrote these (more or less):

- The Lord of the Rings series.
- An Irresistible Photo
- Primer to the Dark Arts
- Your Friendly Neighborhood Death Eater
- A Moment of Sin
- Hagrid's Hut
- Unexpected Guest
- First Signs of Magic: Hermione Granger (I had to clean my mind out with a toilet brush after Unexpected Guest, heh.)
- First Signs of Magic: Draco Malfoy
- Ante Up!
- Sweet Hypocrisy
- Beg Me For It
- Scarred
- Not My Affair 1-5
- Reunion
- First Signs of Magic: Severus Snape
- Drunken Domesticity
- Sex, Drugs and Death Eater Rock
- (various Beg Me For It drabbles)
- An Opening (aka, A Deserving Man)
- Rising Sun
- Animagick
- Guy Talk
- Name Dropping
- Oh, What The Hell (written when OotP came out)
- Skinny Dipping
- Hey You
- Special Delivery
- At Fauntleroy and Diagon Alley
- Weasley and Weatherby
- A Scandalous Interview

Hey, I thought it was interesting! I can't believe how much you've written.... I was all proud of myself for uploading my 11th fic to my website last night, and lookit YOU.



It's on now, missy! ::goes off to write something, anything::

And Icarus surges into the lead trails behind wikdsushi... brigantia_'s pulling around the stretch...

Well, some of these are pretty short. I guess I'd better start writing again, huh? Because I haven't been able to untangle hp_dungeons into something comprehensible.

By the way, I've been meaning to say for ages...as a closet Ron/Draco fan (my secret beloved ship), I loved "Beg Me For It." I actually ran across it a while ago before I knew you, and though "Ooooooh, this is nifty"; I didn't realize it was yours until a few days ago, when mctabby mentioned something and I found the equally lovely sequels. Mmmmmm yummy. Love the Ron/Draco, and love how in character Ron feels despite the tensions of working for the bad guys while still (mostly) being a good guy. Yeah! Plus it's hot. Bwhahahahaa. Awesome on all scores. Thank you and good night. When do we get the next real chapter after Hey You, though?!?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *beams* I just uploaded one more tidbit from this universe, Six Week Charade (http://home.earthlink.net/~dinkbird).

When do we get the next real chapter after Hey You, though?!?

fourth_moon has just been helping me with some ideas and it seems to be coming together. But SNAFU is aptly named. Wow, what a struggle.

I think you've got a faulty link somewhere in the Harry/Tom Riddle section; anything I click on below that heading takes me to the same Harry/Tom drabble!

(which is quite nifty, but frustrating for someone scrambling to get to her R/D fixation)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

That's weird. I haven't been able to recreate the problem. Is it the site map that you're clicking?

It's here anyway - Six Week Charade (http://www.livejournal.com/users/icarusancalion/95906.html).

Icarus

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

Nope, not the site map. In the long list of links, everything above the first Harry/Tom story leads to individual nifty things, but every after leads back to that one Harry/Tom story, which is why I suspect a broken link someplace. I am using Mozilla rather than MIE, dunno if that'd make a difference here.

Woot! *goes to read cookie*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Mozilla that might be the problem, but I'll check again. The links were working for me, though the page is displaying the Harry/Tom link wrong in MIE (it's missing a space).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

You're torturing other people with THE LIST!

*giggles madly*

The difference between primer, which I read again last night and liked (but was not completely overwhelmed) and something like Zen Taxi where my reaction was *Gah, Thud, Reach for respirator*, was in the choice of language, in primer you told a story, start to finish, in zen taxi you painted an amazing picture, and left a lot more up too my mind, and you had the lovely *thud thud* which drove me crazy!

Oh and btw - it was 6am when I messaged you, so I really did go to sleep :)

*hugs*
*whips icarus into writing more*

e.a.

You want to see a difference? Click on the Lord of the Rings stories.

I deliberately copied the detailed descriptions of Tolkien, but after the LotR fics I changed my writing style completely. I studied what worked for online fanfic and came up with an entire writing theory based on what I liked to read.

looks at maths
looks at LOTR

okay - in my break :)

[al-riddle.livejournal.com]

It is a massive list.

And you are massively talented. *fanboys*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

*Dries hair with fan.* Hey, thanks. ;)

I've been berating myself for slowing down.

...must... write.... more..stories.....
