Sex, Drugs and Death Eater Rock

[icarus]

So at long last, after much soul-searching, banging my head on the keyboard, decorating tboy's office and my last temp assignment... two Beta's dead and one gasping, a story that has passed through six people... the cursed fic is done. I spent two weeks doing inserts to balance the story. One Beta loved them, as it was done to resolve an issue with the story. Then she told me 'bear in mind I don't like rambling PWPs'. Oh. We both agreed we had been working on this story until we were blind. We needed a fresh point of view. Lovely, lovely switchknife volunteered. And says: "Leave it alone! Let it breathe! No inserts. They don't add to the plot and are sometimes jarring."

Sigh. Time to call it done. I will post both versions on my website, but the version of 'Sex, Drugs and Death Eater Rock' (part two of the 'Beg Me For It' story arc) without inserts goes up on the Boozefest. Now.

Okay. I'm off to write "SNAFU - Situation Normal: All Fucked Up," part three of my Ron/Draco 'Beg Me For It' series. And to write Hagrid/Buckbeak, to be Blamed on gmth. Urgh.

Edit: Whoops. Typo on the Boozefest address. But it's just been submitted. Unless tboy moves at the speed of light, it's probably not up yet. (So in the meantime read 'Mai Tai of Doom' and 'Man, Being Reasonable.' Oh, and 'Drunken Domesticity.' 'Pale Green' is good, too. 'Oral Sex.')

LOL, so you're the one who got it, eh? I haven't looked yet to see what mine is. You can actually blame the idea on everrivers, who asked me to think about tackling it ages ago. I just never got around to it. ;-)

Don't worrry, it's Ron/Hermione

You got mine (of course). It's just Ron/Hermione. Should be no trouble at all.

Heh-heh-heh.

Yeah, I just saw it. *blargle* LOL, believe me when I say this will be just as much a challenge for me as mine is for you. ;-)

I got the idea from reading CLS's Fashion Sensibility (http://www.thedarkarts.org/authorLinks/CLS). So, check that out if you want some ideas.

Oh my... thank you thank you THANK YOU for not proposing a Rita/Hermione femmeslash scenario...

Read the story. It's not Rita/Hermione femmeslash, and it ends with a kind of subtle realisation and understanding of herself. And then there's Ron. You'll see.

Oh I know. I did read it. That was just the first thought that crossed my mind when I finished.
