I recently emailed Bloodcult of Freud to ask if there was any chance of “Seven Preposterous Things” being finished. The author pled real life and other writing, but also said, “The dwindling feedback was a factor in the stalling of the story.” You have to join Digital Quill to leave a review (which wasn’t always the case--as I pointed out to BcoF a possible reason for dwindling). However, you can, as I belatedly realized, email BcoF directly with feedback. It’s a marvelous AU (from the end of HBP)—featuring Severus/Hermione and Draco/Millicent. Great characterizations (Millie is the best, but they’re all good), wonderful dialogue, an interesting and different Pureblood culture, a plot that twists from hysterically funny to tragic to sexy unexpectedly… really you want to read it. And having started it, you will, really truly, need to see it carried to completion. So go read it, and then let Bloodcult know you’re not content to be abandoned. BCoF’s own warnings on the story were:
Dark Comedy and Angst. Graphic Sex, Character Death, Pimples, Gore and Unflattering Characterizations.
Not a one of which were inaccurate. So now go read. Or reread. Bloodcult of Freud, Seven Preposterous Things

    And you are getting mad at me because you could not make that clear in the first post, why?

      Sorry if I seemed mad, that's not it at all! I mostly wanted to be sure I clarified the matter, since you seemed to take my personal, third-party clumsiness for an authorial demand for feedback, and to take offense at this presumed demand.

      Ascribe the ineptness of expression to me, not to the story's author, I guess is mostly what I'm saying.

      And ascribe the assumed eagerness for feedback to me, if you truly do think the desire (or need) for feedback that reprehensible.

      Bloodcult of Freud was content simply to stop writing, after all. I, me Terri, am the one who stirred the waters here, the one who implied that increased feedback on this story might inspire the author to continue writing.

      Thanks for your response.

      Terri
