The Harry Potter Starter Kit needs more one-shots!

Starter Kit recs are still coming in. I owe people who commented later responses, but don't worry, this project's important to me.

Later in the week, probably Friday, I'll assemble the list.

There have been many good points about knowing the person's tastes, and that's very true. But if we have a variety of stories, people can pick their own entry point from the starter kit (or have friends pick it for them) based on what catches their eye.

I need more one-shots, since bite-size fics are a good way to try out new pairings. Yeah, I know, it's harder to remember the name of that great fic you read six months ago. I'm struggling, too. But it's all in a good cause.

In other news:

I'm writing the climactic scene of SNAFU now. Page 43 of what looks to be slightly less than 50 pages. And once again, Draco is in deep doo-doo.

Holy cow. I might actually finish this thing.

But the rare and wonderful thing about S. is that she can actually debate without resorting to personal attack or silly straw-person arguments, and that she follows a line of thinking.

Oh, she's quite an excellent debator, and when I stumble across her posts, she's usually one I'm nodding to, "yes, yep." We even have very similar tastes and an appreciation for "guyness" in fics. It's a pity we don't get on.

I can like and respect someone while at the same time understand that our personalities are a bad mix. The two of us get into a debate, and only shift our positions a millimeter to the right or left as needed, not giving any ground.

The discussion remains static and doesn't develop because neither of us will give an inch. So we don't learn anything.

I recognise my part in it, that we just bring out the worst in each other. I get harsh and blunt, and she gets dramatic. Nothing personal against her.
