Ron Fiction Awards

[icarus]

I'll be darned.

The Hat Trick, a story I sweated blood over, that drove me crazy, that I thought was too dark, that I feared my Ron Fic-A-Thon recipient would hate, that turned out to be a story that impressed my father (always a difficult task) has been nominated for a Multifaceted Award in the category of Best Ron Fic.

*blinks* I needed good news right about now.

I gotta say I really liked this picture of the Trio's future (must be the angst-slut in me). It's one of those stories that pulls everything in the HP books into a world I can almost believe in, because it's magical but mundane (in a good way).

Oh, and I like your Harry, especially since I've just written something that sort of paints him in the same colors :)

Thank you. It's a lot... darker isn't the word. More dreary I suppose than what I usually write. Ron's job really sucks, but not nearly as much as the corruption he encountered in the Quidditch world.

That was the part that garnered me the most complaints from the youthful audience. "But Harry is more noble than this." Hmm. Actually, he seems pretty normal to me, and it's normal for a guy his age (especially rootless after his victory over Voldemort) to sleep around. All that fame's got to be good for something, right? Glad to see I'm not alone in this opinion.

Same here, I got a lot of "well, that's a really...interesting view of Harry" when I posted a few fics with that theme, but it makes a lot of sense. I get the vibe that Harry's almost expecting to die by the end of the war, so if he survives I think he'd kind of go buck-wild, for lack of a better term.

Dreary is a really good word, sums things up perfectly. I'm glad this got nominated, it's a good fic and I hope you win :)
