Averygoodun's Personal File

Heya. In case you haven't noticed already, Chapter 14 (the last besides the epilogue), of Marry A Choice is up on both The Petulant Poetess and Ashwinder.

Story Summary: Hermione's week goes from bad to worse. She finds out an insane law is about to be passed and must choose a mate in three days to avoid the law's consequences.

Chapter Summary: Hermione's wedding day has come.


And as a rather snide note to one reviewer on a different site who wrote: ... However, as much as we all love Remus, he is a halfblood, which, according to the rules of the bill, would make him exempt. I'm not sure whether he could petion for her, but he's not a pureblood, so I dunno. Sorry to point this out. Seeing as how you have the story written with him in it, I by no means expect you to change anything. Just know for future reference that he's a halfblood...

Um... did you even read the story summary (see above), let alone the first chapter?  Do you know the difference between a bill and a law?  Whatever.  Glad you enjoyed something you obviously haven't read.


Sorry for that bit of snark.  Done now.  I really am glad she's enjoyed my story, but I actually preferred getting the review following hers saying that she didn't like the end because (of a valid reason that makes sense).  At least she was paying attention.

Of course, I've never been guilty of skimming through any story myself.

"Took long enough!" I hear you say, and you're absolutely right. But, the penultimate chapter 13 is up at both The Petulant Poetess and Ashwinder now. Yeehah!

Chapter 13: The Last Supper: Dinner with the 'rents.


( Snape's Journal )

I'm sick and tired of being interned in this house by one outbreak or another. If I had my druthers I would be out and about trying to get a life instead of confined in the basement writing yet another entry. (If I keep telling myself so, it will become so, right?) Well, I actually wouldn't be updating today at all as I have nothing to say, except I promised beletseri I'd post the next sneak peek today, so here it is.

Edit: ( Had to include this meme! )

Oh, and I forgot to add this peek into the next chapter (which is huge, btw). Hope you enjoy!

( My very boring Monday and Tuesday )

As for stories and other good stuff, I'm happy that The Petulant Poetess has accepted "25 Dates," my very silly serial (SS/HG) drabblet. I guess I'll submit the next part tonight.

As for the delay on MaC, I've sent chapter 10 to the cleaners, but my first beta is out of sorts right now (so everyone send her positive vibes), and I forgot to warn my second beta that chapter 10 is my favorite chapter (well, second favorite, now) and therefore will need extensive work as I was loathe to revise it.  So she's probably sitting there looking at it, thinking, "What the heck was Avery on when she wrote this?  She sure wasn't kidding about it being 'rough'!"  And to top it off, I refuse to pressure either of them  because RL takes precedence every time.  My story is only an insignificant dust bunny in the scheme of things.

 

Well, I'm about halfway through writing the first draft of the last chapter of MAC, and I'm snickering with evil delight.  I haven't decided whether or not to make it into two chapters or not, though it's possible I might need to due to length concerns.  Already it's about 5000 words.  I guess it depends on how long the second part is.  If I make it two chapters the readers are going to lynch me.  Hehehe.  (My mantra today is: I am not a tease.  I am not a tease.)

Maybe today, instead of writing the last half of the chapter I'll revise the "article" my mum wants me to write.  I'll have to research length requirements of most magazines, but I could probably cut it down (and definitely expand) if necessary.  I s'pose.  I guess it depends on how I feel and how much work Babe lets me do.  I should also write my next newsletter...  Hmm, so much to write, and so few prepositions to end with.

Oh, and I'm so excited!  Babe can go down the stairs properly now!  I started going downstairs this morning letting him follow me, and sure enough instead of crawling up to the edge of the stairs and cautiously peering over while pawing experimentally at the air, he turned around like a good boy and carefully slipped his knee over the edge till he could feel the next step with his toes, and then brought his other knee down.  I still have to watch him, as he has the tendency to get excited and start bouncing wildly in the middle of climbing, though.  He almost lost his balance twice in the climb down this morning.  Very scary.

I guess I'll get to work now.  Maybe I can avoid vacuuming for yet another day?

Hiya! As promised, I uploaded Chapter 9: A Letter of Consequence on Ashwinder  and it's in queue at The Petulant Poetess.  I'll be uploading it on Fanfiction tomorrow sometime.  Now I think I need to go to bed.  Yup.  Definitely bed. Bed bed bed bed bed ...  Okay, I'm going now.
