Well, it seems that posting "Traitor" is slowly exorcising it from my system. That and getting some feedback to soothe my worried nerves. At this point I'm kind of wishing I had just decided to post it as three parts (probably 4 or 5 chapters), although, I must say it's fun to see how people react, chapter by chapter. I am really, really glad that no one is liking Snape. I would seriously worry if they did. I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how people react to the penultimate chapter. I'm hoping for some swear words, actually. Maybe a flame or two? (Nah... those who get through the first part probably aren't the type to flame.)
I've written an add-on to the story, and am waffling as to whether I should post it as the epilogue, or as its own story. The style's the same, the view points are different, and the tone is quite different. Either way, its title will be "Closure." That sounds hopeful, doesn't it? (Summary: If you're willing to sell your soul for freedom, what would you give for redemption?)
As that horrible story slowly gets excised, I'm finding myself able to start writing other things. Namely, I've managed to write the first "love letter" for SMHC!!! I think it works. I've also plotted out the next chapter and have written about a page. Well, maybe two pages counting the conversation I came up with for later on in the chapter. This is going to be a difficult chapter to write though, I can already tell. It's a major transition chapter. Not only does it transition the movement of time from plodding to something more fluid, but it also is that awkward inbetween period after the first date and before the trial. But, the love letter (and its delivery) is (more or less) written, so that's good.
I've also got the very beginnings of chapter 17 written. It's basically a paragraph saying how the rest of the week passes. Can you imagine that? An entire week in a paragraph! For this story, that's... positively dynamic.
