It's an addiction, I swear...

...'cause every time I say I need to stop writing fanfiction, or at least limit myself to no more than one at a time, guess what? Yeah, I go start another bloody one. Sigh.

This time I feel like a jerk, though, because after polling people and saying I was going to write that Gorendil fic next...what do I do? Start my next Snape story, of course! Sorry, the guy's in my blood. Maybe it's just a reaction to the way JKR killed him off. Maybe my subconscious is saying, "Oh, yeah? Well, I'm going to resurrect him! And just for good measure, I'm going to kill off Ron and have Snape end up shagging Hermione! What're you gonna do about that, bitch?"

It's funny, because it's certainly not a pairing I would normally think of writing. I think part of the reason it used to squick me out was that so many people had teacher/student sex stories, and I have serious issues with that. But if it's with Hermione in her early 20s and Snape in his early 40s...well, then, suddenly it doesn't seem to be such a big deal. After all, I was in a long-term (five years) relationship with someone 23 years older than I. If nothing else, I'm probably more qualified to deal with the ramifications of such an age difference than the fangirls who usually write HG/SS.

See, if I could get wonderful reviews for my original fic instead of rejection letters, maybe I'd feel a little bit more hyped about it....

I will love you forever!!!!!!!!!! You're supporting the seriousness of my ship, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to start reading, but I think I have to finish your other one first. Bah, so little time and so much to do.

"Oh, yeah? Well, I'm going to resurrect him! And just for good measure, I'm going to kill off Ron and have Snape end up shagging Hermione! What're you gonna do about that, bitch?"

Oh, I need an icon with that!!!!!!! =)

Don't worry -- Chapter 1 isn't even finished yet! It's about halfway done...I'm hoping to have it up on ff.n and various other archives by the end of the week. And hey -- you'll get to it when you get to it. I don't take my fics down, so they're always waiting for you whenever you do have the time to read!

Do you think all that text would fit on an icon?? :-P

Hey, you have to go where the muse takes you!

Well, that's true. After all, it's not as if I'm getting paid for this stuff!

Yay!

I'm not really into the whole HG/SS milieu but anything concerning Snape being alive, getting shagged and being happy, will do fantastically. Plus, you're writing so it's bound to be loads better than all the other HG/SS hogwash I've come across.

Anyhoo, follow the muse! Gorendil can take a break, poor guy.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I've only read about two other SS/HG stories, and well...'nuff said. :-)

We'll see how this one goes!

I have to say that I am quite happy you are writing your Snape story. I loved the first two chapters and I'm dying for more. I, too have started a story in which Snape is still alive. I just can't allow him to remain dead, and writing is just such a good outlet.

I still can't believe she killed him off!

Thank you! I think I was prepared for Snape to be dead...I just thought he would have a more meaningful death than that. So now I'm determined to resurrect him as often as necessary!

I think a lot of us Snape fans are working through the anger by writing more Snape fics, which is always a good thing!
