wherein Liz bounces quite a lot

As I was walking home last night, I had the most marvelously evil idea for a Harry Potter AU, and in the white-hot heat of inspiration, I wrote the first chapter last night and this afternoon... all 7,500 words of it.

(Yes, I'm still a little boggled over that.)

I'm not going to post it, though, because I want to get the first three chapters written, so the overall structure is clear. Also, chapter 1 needs a lot of revision before I can even send it to beta. But it's still the most wonderful idea I've had in quite a while -- all it takes is two small nudges in PS/SS, and the whole massive thing spins off in a different direction, picking up speed as it goes. *rubs hands in glee*

It's called "More Subtle Than Any Beast of the Field."

(Yes, that is a big whopping hint.)

----------------------------------

In other news, I came unstuck on "Lemonade," and am working through the fight scene that makes the final third of chapter 3. It might be up tomorrow.

Chapter 4 of "Guardian" will be delayed until next week. As for "Secrets," well, I seem to have my Harry Potter inspiration back full blast -- I can't get over how strange that feels! -- so we shall see how that goes.

ETA: Just finished another [livejournal.com profile] thirtyforthree Ginny/Harry/Draco ficlet, this one for theme #7 - Hugs. That brings me to fourteen completed themes! Hmm. I should probably post another one sometime soonish.

Whoops...that was me. Sorry, could have sworn I was signed in. Graah...its always so awkward apologising for that.
