Under the wide, wide sky

Claiming my HD Erised 2018 fic: Of Wands and Trees

2019-01-07T19:04:49Z

Last year I left it almost a year, this year I'm doing this the day of the reveals. This total inconsistency is very me.

I wrote Of Wands and Trees for Saulaie and korlaena, for HD Erised 2018.

I wasn't going to write for Erised this year (I had a lot going on), but ended up signing up as a pinch-hitter, being asked to write about TREES, and then writing 45k in a huge leafy rush. I enjoyed every second of it. Also there is some smut in the fic (also involving TREES), and it had been so long since I last wrote anything remotely sexual that I had to look up my own guide to writing smut. Which was very helpful! Many thanks to my beta readers ICMezzo and Evilgiraffe, although I still snuck some typos past them. Thanks too to the mods for modding, proof-reading, and dealing with extension requests (cough).

I will be back with a proper rec post for some of the amazing art and fic in this year's fest, there was so much that was wonderful. <3

Long overdue post - fics I wrote LAST year

2018-12-05T21:29:23Z

I wrote an Erised fic, oh yes I did. A year ago. I think this is my most late posting of anything, ever. But hello there, friends! Nice to see you. I think this might actually be my first time posting to Dreamwidth (and crossposting to LJ), too. I think all these things represent just how with the times I am - i.e. not at all. I am ancient, apparently, and it is not an accident that my fics rarely feature technology.

So, to the fics. Last year I wrote The Malfoy Conundrum. If you didn't read it then or in the intervening year, go read it! It's fun. Draco watches Countdown. Harry is depressed but finds his way out of it. Dudley makes an appearance.

Also last year I wrote a little off-shoot of a fic, Second Chances, about how Dudley and Gregory Goyle became friends (as mentioned in the Malfoy Conundrum). I wrote it as a birthday present for EvilGiraffe, It is again her birthday and so I posted it today.

So there you are, two fics to read.

Enjoy!
