Hee :D At first I thought you were accusing -me- of calling Hagrid fat :)) ♥
I know what you mean about things having to be worked out more before hand post-HBP... which is probably why I'm less inspired to write it, also :)) I likes my hatesex, pretty... um. ^^;; No, I mean, it's just that I write one-shots and mood and character pieces a lot and this is v. difficult with this set-up, everything needs build-up, build-up, more build-up... then more build-up.... *tears out hair* I'm not a novel writer! (Yet? Er??) And my present story, the only thing I think I'll write that's novella-length & post-HBP (let's face it, that's pretty much true) is dependent (though I dunno to what degree) on their issues -not- being worked out & Draco going the worst possible path & going to Azkaban and etcetc. ^^;; Then again, I like writing darkfic, dammit :)) Even my novella where I tried exploring post-OoTP dynamics seriously was basically a darkfic... I can't actually imagine writing a fic that was H/D that was really positive all the way through rather than just hopeful at the end.... This is a personal thing, of course~:)
I think 'anything goes' is a good thing for a writer, it's just... less inspiring for a fanficcer?? I dunno, depends what your shtick is, I guess. I think I got used to writing Hogwarts fic and that's where my comfort zone as well as my imaginative home is, if that makes sense (like, I have a Hogwarts in my head but not so much a Hogsmeade or a London) though honestly, most of my DE!Draco fic isn't at Hogwarts. I'm really breaking all my own rules with this thing. Le sigh~:)
YEAY! :D Yeah, we did have time, before-- it wasn't my preference to have Big Bang again so soon, but everyone's all pumped & excited, so I was like, 'okay'. And not that I mind getting lots of fanart for my DE!Draco fic. HAHAH. *greeeeeeed* I won't be done by the 30th either, clearly, but I've been venturing forward with it, actually, and it's been helping me get small glimmerings of HBP!Harry, though he's still too reflective. My Harry's ALWAYS too reflective. WOE :D And ♥ *also excited now!*
