God, I have such a headache. I foolishly decided to get some cornrows and now I look like Queen Latifah in Set it Off. But the damn stylist made them too tight. These fucking things are coming out today.

Anyway…

I finally updated TMTM with chapter 6 a few days ago. LJ was being a ho and not letting me post then.

Yes, I know. It took me a pathetically long time to update with a chapter I have had written since March. I did a lot of editing. I’m still not pleased with the final version but it will do. I’m sick of looking at it.

One of my friends had a huge problem with how Lucius reacts to something that happens to Hermione. I think she forgets that it’s a L/Hr fic, not, say, a R/Hr. Ah, well.

I’ve gotten a few more reviews from people who dislike Doris. I didn’t write her as a character to be disliked but I can certainly see why some would. And well, actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if even more people dislike or even hate her when other things come to light.

I’m just glad they feel something for Doris. Even if it is dislike. In my mind it would be worse if they were indifferent, as if she is just an easily dismissed OC. I actually spent a lot of time thinking about Doris’ characterization, maybe even more so than with Lucius and Hermione. Although Doris stays mostly in the background she is involved a few important subplots. The biggest one explores how a Muggle parent feels about loosing their only child to world in which they have no place. Her feelings on this lead her to do some shockingly manipulative things. Doris may come across as a dizzy scatterbrain but let me assure you, if the woman had been a witch, she’d definitely be sorted into Slytherin.

I spent all night reading some atrocious Lucius/Harry mpreg. Yes, I was bored. What’s always been odd to me is that the L/H ship contains a ton of mpreg. Yes, most slash ships do have a lot of it. Hell, there are probably more Snarry mpreg fics then there are L/H fic in total. But ratio-wise? It seems like every other L/H I find is a mpreg while it’s like every fifth fic (or even less) for Snarry or H/D.

I’m not complaining as I like m-preg. I just think it’s kind of weird.

Very true- some sort of reaction, negative or positive, imo, is better than apathy.

Really? Are there really that many H/D and H/S mpregs? Perhaps I'm not reading in the right places. Or I'm too picky. *loves the occasional mpreg*

I think so. A lot of them are very bad but I'd say if I wanted to, I could read at least one Snarry or H/D m-preg every day and not run out of fic for many many months.

I didn't like Doris either. But then Hermione has to get that ruthless streak from somewhere.

I am still enjoying it and if fangirling would make you write faster, I would post everyday to squeee.

You know, it's never occured to me to comment on Doris. I think she's trying, but she just doesn't understand. It makes it frustrating and funny.

I'll add my voice to the squeeing. :)

O/T, but shiv, where did you get that amazing pic for you icon? I love that one. :)

Yup, she got it from Doris. I fully expect to be flamed when some of the darker aspects of Doris' personality come out.

You will be pleased to know that I am halfway with the final edits of chapter 7. I won't give a date for posting though. I always turn out to be a liar.

So, I'm finally getting notifications of replies. LOL It's nice to see that LJ is catching up on the lost notificatiosn. LOL

The next chapter is posted. I just had a HUGE hurdle to get over. I hate having brain lock.

hello! I found you at skyehawke and all I can say is: finally! a decent lucius/hermione fic. I often feel that this pairing is neglected by the better writers which is sad really because I am rather fond of this ship.

I just have to say that I hate mpreg. Dispite the un-naturalness of it what really bother me is the unbelievably bad way its written.

Anyhoo I've added you, I hope you'll add me back.

Hi! I've added you back. :)

Yes, the pairing is sadly neglected. What's odd is that a lot of people seem to be interested in the pairing but few attempt to write it. I suspect it's the challenge of it. I was kind of scared to do it myself and I know that Lucius and Hermione are a bit OCC in TMTM but I tried my best.

I like mpreg myself but tend to avoid fics where the mpreg is the sole reason for the fic. HP is the only fandom I can read mpreg in because I can convince myself that magic can make it possible. But, yeah, most times it's done very poorly.
