Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Completely out of the blue I felt like writing something today. And something happy, to boot. I've never written happy. I'm prettty sure it's not me, but that's what came out, so go figure. *shrugs* Really short , 30 min and unbeta'd.

Title: A Perfect Day
Characters: Lily/James
Word count: 461
Rating: G, just completely G


( Smile now... )

Title: Chocolate
Rating: R (for everything implied)
Characters: Remus/Sirius
Wordcount: ~200
A/N: Yay, an actual drabble for that crazy, crazy person who prompts me with "Food. And Angst." (a.k.a. manraviel).

( Does chocolate count as food? )

Now, a good indea in theory, ask for drabble prompts to take up three hours. I hit a glitch with the first one. The damn thing decided to mutate into a ficlet. :p

Title: In the Dark
Characters: Snape/Bill
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: ~1650
A/N: For lisamarie0921. Her prompt was: Severus Snape/Bill Weasley. Wartime affair. "Bill wonders how he could possibly stay with Fleur now that he knows..."

( Strange things happen in the night. )

As you can see, it's been a busy night/morning. ;)

Title: Whispers in the Night
Rating: PG-13 to be on the safe side
Wordcount 2914
Disclaimer: Nothing but the plot is mine
A/N: My thanks to misscake for being wonderful and betaing this fic super fast. This is a genfic companion piece for The Darkness Within. It can stand on its own, but it contains major spoilers for the last couple of chapters. Consider yourselves warned!

( The aftermath of the final battle. )

My very stressed but always lovable beta Jenn has delivered the epilogue of Darkness to my inbox. Since she is the first person to read it, I was obviously chewing my nails during the wait, but it's here now.

The conclusion of this 'sort of dark' fic can be found here.

*breathes in deeply* There, now it's online in its entirety and I can't change anything. Not that I'd want to, but...

*bites nails and stares off to space*

Oh, and - *points to icon* That's my second cat, Minnie Mouse. She is the very, very older half-sister of the kittens. Before you laugh, she is shy as a mouse. And I kinda liked the Mickey Mouse comics when we named her.

Oh. My. God.

I can hardly believe it myself, just a couple of hours ago I got to write the words - The End - for my novel-lenght fanfic 'The Darkness Within'.

I wrote the first three chapters right after OotP (that's more than two years ago!) but worked up the courage to post online only this April. And now it's done.

I'm so confused right now. I thought I'd be relieved I can move on to new projects with a clear conscience. But as I wrote the last words of the epilogue I got almost teary eyed. Damn, I'm teary eyed while writing this post. I'm desperately going to miss my Harry, I've enjoyed living in his head so much.

I have the last chapter online here and the epilogue is sitting in my beta's inbox, waiting for her exams to be over.

Oh god, it's the most bizarrely sad and happy feeling to finish a story that has been a part of your life for two years.

Thanks to the lovely conversations captainjames has with his sister I find myself writing my first ever R rated (and slash) fic at four in the morning. As though that were not enough, it's historical RPS.

I'm also blaming this Wellington quote: Hard pounding, gentlemen. Let's see who pounds the longest.

Characters: Wellington, Napoleon

This was possibly the weirdest thing I've written.

I've uploaded Chapter 13: Amongst Friends to FF.net.

Also, the prologue of the same story is now up at The Dark Arts.

I'm trying to decide whether to start plugging the FA version instead of the FF.net one. I already have readers on FF.net, but, of course, I could do with some more. The problem is, the first few chapters are not good. I mean they really aren't. The first four chapters were written straight after OotP came out. It just took me almost two years to work up the courage to post them.

So, if I direct potential readers towards TDA version ... they probably won't even want to read the rest of the story. And FF.net hitcounters and favourites and author alert lists are really good for my ego. :p

I have a question I feel I should know the answer to. Can I plug the same fic on FA Lead, etc threads twice, if it's on different archives?

I had real trouble with this chapter, but in the end I think it turned out alright. Not my favourite, but my sister, who always get to read them before anyone else, says it's one of hers.

So I guess it's just a matter of taste.

I got too impatient to wait until my Betas appeared, so the un-Betaed verision is posted here.

Enjoy!

I have recently discovered drabbles.

This is my first attempt.
