blamebramptonHurrah for hd-holidays reveals! I even have new authors to stalk from the small number I've managed to read. And am pleased to see that I recced a few friends! (And embarrassed to notice the fics I meant to rec but forgot about. Will try to get to a few of them over the next week or two along with my full recs for Fearless and Coffee, Cakes … damn rec-eating LJ.)
I wrote A Young Radical's Guide To Love, which whispered gently in my ear that it would be a well-behaved 30K fic, before bursting out into a 66,000 word one that secretly wanted to be about 100,000 words, but that would have involved going without sleep through September and October as well as November and a bit of December. I kept having to remember that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cassie_black12 wanted lightness to the tone whenever I was tempted to make an overt Guantanamo Bay analogy, and raitala, who was indefatigable in her shouting at me to write 'More! Faster!', was also very good at the 'This requires more kissing. I am certain your recipient requested kissing!' To the point where my inestimable beta jadzialove said 'There is a lot of kissing in this for you. Have you been drinking?'
Which means that the three fastest winners of Monday's guessing game arephoenixnoor, astardanced77 and snegurochka_lee, with goddessriss being the most amusing. Not all my stories contain dreadful puns, Riss! A couple have even contained sex! (I think one of those may have had dreadful puns, though …) astardanced77 has already asked for an extra for Little Red Courgette, if the rest of you could leave requests here, I will set about meeting them!
nenne also guessed rightly, and oakstone730 wrongly but flatteringly. If you two have an extra you would really like, I will try to get to it, too!

Date: 2013-01-17 08:56 am (UTC)Oh dear. That one will take me a little time as I have to read through it all before I can write in it again and it's rather long! But I am sure something will pop up. Any preferences? Something after the end, something from before the start? Something from the middle? Something from someone else's point of view?

Date: 2013-01-15 03:49 pm (UTC)Oooh, I would like anything more about Young Radical! Either outtake or just author's notes rambling. Where would it have gone if it was 100K? Or, since I have no light-hearted requirements, what were your Guantanamo-analogy ideas? The opening scenes are definitely darker than the rest of it; Draco as the hero of a dystopian Ministry nightmare would have been just as captivating!
Or, you can just write me more kissing. :)

Date: 2013-01-17 10:13 am (UTC)Damn you
Date: 2013-01-16 06:04 am (UTC)I should do the math of exactly how many words/hour that came out to, so the next time you warn me how many words long something is I will know that starting it is a Bad Idea (tm).
Why couldn't you have posted the announcement on a day/time when I would see the announcement during morning situps, so that I wouldn't click the link at all? (since it is no use wishing you would write stories I could walk away from once I start them)
Re: Damn you
