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

I would also like to explain the lag.
I have a rather elderly grandmother, she has Alzheimer's Disease and I am her legal guardian. The point where I began to slack off on posting (and writing) Seven Preposterous Things, was the point where her disease made itself impossible to ignore. With a professional writing career and three children, as well this slowed me down considerably, particularly her habit of calling me roughly 50 times a day from 5:30 am to 11:30 pm,
I stopped working on the story altogether after I was appointed her legal guardian by the state, her disease became all consuming for me as I had to care for her properties in addition to her person.
These days changes in her illness (it has worsened considerably) make it possible to write on non-essential projects again so I have returned to Seven Preposterous Things.
So there is the long and the short of it. I hope to have the story finished by the end of March.
