Me? Plug my own work? Heck yeah!

I have a story. It's called Primer to the Dark Arts.
It's about Dark Magic and men's attitudes about sex and relationships.
But really, deep down, it's all about moral dilemmas and ethical grey areas.
It might also appeal to readers who aren't afraid of smut.
It has: [smut, OCs, Hermione, funny bits, flashbacks, slash, het, Snape, ghost cats].
It doesn't have: [Time-Turners, spiders, flashbacks, Peeves, present tense, the Sorting Hat, (much) angst, grammatical errors, the Giant Squid, Draco, true love].
It is not a WiP.
If you read it, I'll grin from ear to ear and rub my hands together in glee.
If you don't read it, I'll worry about the quality of my writing and get neurotic about the sequel. This is my ego you're propping up, and it's on a very fragile stick.
If you read it and review it, I'll answer and direct you to more stories, both mine and others.
And by the way, it's written under the influence of pure unadulterated escapism.
You can find my story here: <a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~dinkbird/_wsn/page4.html>here</a>!

I just ran by your lj, and wanted to tell you how much I loved this story. Also, I didn't know that you had a sequel planned. Can't wait. I'll probably be stalking you now.

Grins! Right on

I loved this story. It's how I found you...and your live journal and all of your other stories. You even made me like Draco/Ron you evil talented wench. *G*

Yes, I've rec'd this several times to friends. But you know what...re-reading it just reminds me that there is SO MUCH more that you haven't been sharing with this story. Still planning to post a sort of sequel? *hopes*

I really left people hanging about Snape Manor in that last chapter. I am working on it. I just finished the prologue yesterday, did part of chapter one, and then chapter three.

And you can blame Fred Cole for the Draco/Ron. I never would have imagined it until Fred Cole challenged me.
