I updated TMTM just a few minutes ago.

It won’t be up at Pureblood until it gets validated.

Yeah, I promised many of you it’d be up long ago. I really meant it at the time, but things never go my way. I guess the moral of the story is, don’t believe it until you see it.

I have recently found myself ensnared by HG/VK. I am utterly astonished at few fics feature this pairing. I mean fuck, even wonky, implausible ships like Lucius/Hermione and Sirius/Hermione have more fics devoted to them. Thus far I haven’t found a single HG/VK fic that exceeds 30,000 words. Being a lover of long, long fics, I find this very disappointing.

Must I always be doomed to liking obscure ships with small followings? Woe is me…

I kind of long for the days when I was really into Harry/Draco. Back then I could find a new novel length fic to read every day if I wanted. At least there’s still plenty of Snarry to be had. I’ll never get bored with that.

In RL news, Desiree has to start wearing an eye patch. She has a slight lazy eye and in order to correct it, the doctors said she has to wear a patch for four hours every day. I thought she would protest it but she actually likes it. I had to fight with her to take it off. She thinks she is a pirate now and keeps yelling “Aye, aye Captain!”

Yes, she watches too much Spongebob. So do I for that matter.

Liked the new chapter. Very cool how you worked in Dean, and it worked well in Hermione's characterization too, adding to her sense of isolation.

So when do we get the next one? Your a/n made it sound like it was already written.

I'm glad you liked that bit. I actually thought about eliminating Hermione's not so good reaction to the news about Dean but I honestly thought she would act that way.

Yeah chapter 8 is written and has been since March I think. At one point I had almost twenty chapters pre-written but several months ago I lost everything past chapter 9 when my old computer died. It takes me so long to update because I hate editing so much that it takes me longer to edit a 5000 word chapter than write a 5000 word chapter. Yes, I realise how weird that is.

I am not going to say when chapter 8 will be up because I always turn out to be a liar. Hopefully, I can get my ass in gear and it will be sooner than later.

* Yay for update! I suck as I've been reading but don't think I've commented. *is guilty*
* Whee for Viktor/Hermione love! They've been my canon OTP since I read GOF ages ago but it's only recently that I've been able to sit and actually write them (Viktor was rather stubborn). There are some longer ones out there on Fiction Alley, I think, but it's such a rare ship that I'm shocked at how few fics I'd been able to find in the last, oh, year and a half that I'd been reading them. Some recs went up at [info]viktorhermione when the group first started and Stacie has written some longer ones here on her site, I think. She had a series that was pretty decent length, if I remember correctly. May I hope you try your hand at writing some V/Hr? *Grin*

Well, I'm glad you are enjoying it even if you never commented. :)

Thanks for the links. I'll check them out tonight. I also saw that you had written a V/Hr fic a few days ago. I bookmarked it for reading and will do so tonight. I had banned myself from reading fic over the last few days until I updated TMTM.

I think I will try writing some V/Hr. If only to boost the fic count. Though I am horrible at writing short fics so I am not sure how it will go. At least with this pairing, there is some canon foundation so I won't have to spend chapters explaining how an unlikely couple got together. I am still shocked at little fic there is. I guess I assumed there would be more as I encountered it as a backround pairing a fair number of times.

I am horrible at commenting no websites. I comment more on LJ than anywhere. I really enjoy the fic and am quite pleased when you update. Love the Dean interaction today.

I've actually written a few V/Hr lately *Grin* I'm just loving that VIktor is finally letting me write him. Heh. "Summer in Bulgaria", "The Lesson" and "Night in the Libary" are actually some of my favorite fics out of my entire archive so, yeah, I'm really loving the pairing.

I'm eager to read anything you write. [info]our_innocence has been writing some really good one shots for them. It's just such a small ship and I don't know why since they really were quite present in canon and she's still writing to him even in HBP (where we find out she'd kissed him at least once!) so I don't get it. It could be his dialect as that's one reason I kept procrastinating on attempting to write them. *shrug*

I am pretty bad at reviewing myself if the story is not on LJ. Plus, I guess I am more inclined to review if I am familar with the writer.

I wonder if it is the accent. Just now as I was thinking about a possible V/Hr to write I was feeling daunted by having to write the accent. I'm sure I'll flub it up. I suppose when in doubt it's best to not try it and have him speak normally. I do that with Hagrid.

Ah, that's funny and cute! =P Pirate!

=P check the [info]crack_van for some good fics! it's multi-fandom, but they are the fic-reccingest people ever!

God so many recs! I'll check them out. I looked over on crack_broom but there was no V/Hr.

I like HG/VK. I didn't read any fic of that pair, although I did read about him in several SS/HG fics. Wendynat is quite fond of him.

If you find a very good fic, I wouldn't mind a rec. I would like to read some HG/VK.

Oh, I think there are new H/D fics out there that might intrigue you, even now. *waggles eyebrows*

Spongebob = v strange. But amusing, in a strange way.

Also- it could be worse, you could be a diehard Dennis/Ginny/Colin shipper. THAT might be hard to find fics for...;)

oh really? And would you happen to know where I can find these H/D fics? I think I have read 5 H/D fics in the last several months. Hell, most of them were yours.

And I know I don't have it as bad as some fic readers. I am just glad I like a wide array of fics thus I always can find something to read, even if it isn't with my most favorite pairings. I noticed that quite a few HG/SS shippers ONLY ship HG/SS. I really don't know how they do it. I would have burned out a long time ago.

I think you should peruse [info]harrydraco on Christmas Eve morning. Just sayin', just sayin'. ;)

Is there even much new coming out in the HG/SS sector? I mean...wouldn't the same fic-types kinda be recycled? Or...yeah, that would cause a major burnout, I'd think. One pairing. That's it. Too...not enough variety, imo.

I found this journal through your Pureblood profile. I'm really enjoying TMTM, its so hard to find well written LM/HG fics and after HBP I'm digging that 'ship more than SS/HG. Your Lucius is so underhanded that he doesn' seem OOC at all. Difficult to find except in the darkest fics normally.
I agree about Viktor. He is an intriguing character who is underused or ill used in fics. Oh hell maybe I should write one myself.

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I have to admit, I do think my Lucius is a bit out of character as I think he has a pragmatism that canon!Lucius lacks. But I suppose I could argue that the war has made him that way.

And you should write some Viktor fic. He needs some lovin too.
