Because Just Asking Is Boring!
Hey guys! If any of you are familiar with me at all from drabble nights (I'm Ellie in there), you know my 'drabbles' are more accurately ficlets, ranging from 500 words to, rarely, up to 5k. Not drabbles at all!
Now, over the course of the last - year? Maybe? I've written a nice pile of these, but I think a grand whopping THREE got posted. Like, out of - thirty? Ish? And like one, maybe two, got linked on L_S. Shameful, innit?
SO. I recently got motivated/shamed/organised and made a huge honking document with aaaaaaaaall my rough, unpolished, and in many cases unfinished ficlets, and I'm in the process of slogging through them. They really do run the gamut from fluff, to angst, to PWP kink, to comedy and crack, to rip-your-heart-out darkfic and horror. And smut. Oh my, lots and lots of smut. I do like writing the smut. :3
Some of these ficlets are decent on their own. I haven't really had a beta in years, and I'm not really that awful of a writer, so I can do my own SPaG and I can generally give my writing just enough polish to not give folks a conniption (and we just pretend I don't have a secret, sordid love affair with commas and purple prose, nope, not at all). But some of these ficlets are rough enough, or in a style I'm not as comfortable with, and could use a beta's tender-loving slaughter. I mean love. Red-ink tough love. I do like it kinky, after all!
My GOAL is to polish up 30 little Snupin ficlets - and post one a day for the month of November. A nice little treat for everyone waiting impatiently for December, when the trickle of fic and art becomes a veritable and inescapeable avalanche, like a trail of candied breadcrumbs leading into a gingerbread house wherein Remus is shagging Severus on the kitchen table and -
Oh, sorry. Mmm. But it IS delicious imagery. All those miles of skin and long, long legs and the pervasive, sweet smell of baking cookies...
Where was I? OH. Yes. Beta. Fic. So I can foist more smut on your (not-so-innocent) eyes. Hmmmm. Any interest? Yes? No? DO let me know. In the meantime, I'll just be....watching....Remus and Severus.... :O
