Attn: H/D fic help

[lettered]

...the whole five of you who would even click on a Harry/Draco fic, much less read one:

I seem to have found . . . 45,000 words worth of a crack, massive, lame, embarrassing H/D WIP on my hard drive that I don't see myself finishing, and yet every time I check it, filled with innocent bewilderment, the word count goes up another 5,000 or so.

I was wondering whether any of the <5 of you could:
a. explain to me how this got on my hard drive,
b. read it and help me,
c. shoot me now,
d. hold my hand and pet it while I dissolve into tears of despair and self-loathing, while not letting anyone involved in Jossverse know,
e. all of the above.

<:O I WOULD READ THAT.

Hannah said she'd talk about it with me, but I would send it along to you if you're interested in seeing it in it's NOWHERE NEAR COMPLETE state. And then talking about it with me.

I'm reading your Sparrow/Norrington and it's even better than I hoped for! So good! So funny! Wheee!

I would LOVE to do just that! I also get that some people are protective about their writing, so I won't be offended but PUH-LEASE. I'd love to read your H/D fic, even if it was never finished. I just like your writing, period. And talking about fic? Yes, please!

(Awwwwww!! I can't tell you how gratifying that is. I think it's one of the best things I've written - it has funny and story and swashbuckling and adventure, and I just love that thing to pieces. AND YOU.)

I'm protective of some stuff, but the long stuff, I get to a point where I just want to dump it all over everyone. But then I feel bad about inflicting WIPs on people, so I resolved not to do it any more. I did start posting this one at an H/D archive though, just because I was so "gaaaaaaaaah gotta share!"

I think it's one of the best things I've read by you, definitely, and one of the most true-to-canon fics I've ever read, in the sense that I seriously felt like that could've been filmed and part of the PotC universe. Some bits were frankly better. You've a right to be proud.

I very recently discovered your writing and I've enjoyed what I've read so far. I'm also a H/D shipper, so I was wondering: Which archive?

Hey, thanks for being interested. And it's nice to find H/D shippers in Buffyverse because HP fandom is kinda...big and scary to me.

Um, this fic is on a hiatus at the moment. I want to rewrite it completely, and you may not like what's there. It hardly has any H/D. But, here is the link: Of Lost Time.

Thank you very much!
