teddy_radiator | I Think I Must Be Crazy

It's been over 3 years since I participated in the

sshg_giftfest. Before that, I had such a negative experience with HP_Promptfest (thank you,

madeleone for clearing that up) I vowed I'd never do another big fest again. Three years since I've written Severus/Hermione as a pairing. I have wondered if I have truly done all I can with these characters. But I signed up. And lo and behold, I was assigned someone with some excellent prompts, and I thought, "The minimum is 1000 words. I can do that in a day. Piece of cake."

I've been at it for roughtly 3 days, give or take. 6400 words have been written. Not all of them bad.

stgulik has been extremely encouraging. I think I can do this. I'm on the home stretch; its not going to be another Lay Me Low by any means. It won't win any awards for originality, and those people on LiveJournal who have always called me a hack will not not have a change of heart because of this fic, but I don't hate it. I even hold out hope that the recipient will like it.

I'm really looking forward to the

hp_halloween assignments now.

Wanna get a free Audible? C'mere. Let me know and I'll send you a code for a free Audible for either Her Minder, or The Chine. Hell, if you'll promise to give me a short, not too brutal review on Amazon, I'll give you both. Seriously, I have a few freebies to give to friends in exchange for reviews. Let me know if you want one.

I’m sorry to hear you had a negative experience with any of your wonderfully written ss/hg works! Having read this pairing for many years (literally hundreds on works short and long), you are, without any doubt, one of the great authors for this pairing. Your Severus is spectacularly written, your Hermione comes to life on the page. I’m over the moon excited to hear you are again playing in this sandbox. Shag the haters.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so thrilled you feel this way. Yes, it was a long time ago, and there have been a lot of changes since then, and the people that matter to me have always been loving and supportive and caring. It's all of you that inspire me time and time again. ♥
