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 have always considered myself extremely fortunate that most of my reviews, etc were positive here. There are a couple of very well-known and influential people on LJ that don't like my writing, and it is what it is. I'd rather have the support of my friends than worry about the few that don't like me or what I do. I can't change their minds, but my true friends are more important to me than them. To be honest, it's been so long they probably don't remember me anymore. I was always a second-rate bit player in their sandbox, anyway.

I don’t think I even know who would be well-known and influential here on LJ, but then again, I’m less than a third-rate but player myself! 😂
