Have obviously spent too much time thinking about Tom Riddle, in my effort to start writing "Secrets" again. This is demonstrated by my writing, last night, chapter one of a dark AU story in which the newly-disembodied Voldemort, instead of lurking around dark forests waiting for Quirrel to show up ten years later, notices that he has a link to Harry, and sets out to do something about it. *hides face in consternation*
I sent it off to beta this afternoon.
Damn it, where have all my cheerful ideas run away to? All I have now is angst! "Secrets" is angsty over Colin being Petrified, this new story is angsty, the Ranma 1/2 ficlet I wrote is angsty, the Hermione monologue I'm revising is angsty, and the Gormenghast story I'm editing is about the most angst-filled thing I've ever written (barring the attempted-rape story I wrote when I was twelve, which still gives me the creeps to reread). I want my happy fluffy bunny ideas back! (Not that they were terribly fluffy to begin with, but at least they weren't unrelentingly depressing.)
I so need to get a job.
