Lissa's HP-Related Wank
Jun. 21st, 2006 09:10 amBecause everybody's wanking and I have no interest in the current topic and feel like complaining...
Things I can wank about:
1.) I have no time to read the good fic that may be on my flist.
2.) I haven't seen many recs. Are people still reccing? Especially R/S? The problem with R/S and some of the comms is there's a lot of great stuff out there... and a lot of not-so-great stuff. Plus, I think I'm really getting the "been there, done that" feeling. We need more creative stuff.
3.) TIME! I need time! I have an awesome idea for my challenge fics, and I have AIL, and I have that paper, and I have reviews....
4.) Writing Peter sometimes sucks, you know that? I'm at a critical juncture where he's making a move on someone (um, that's a move to lead them into a trap, not have sex), and it needs to seem like James, Lily, and Sirius aren't colassal idiots for continuing to trust Peter. It has to be obvious to the reader, but in such a way that it's understandable it's not obvious to the other three. :P And not THAT obvious to Remus, but Remus is allowed to be a little more suspicious. Especially when the scene is Sirius's POV. God, I would LOVE to re-write AIL from Peter's point of view, but that time thing....
After all, James and Sirius aren't Dumbledore. (Why yes, I did just read
gehayi's spork at
hbpspork
5.) Dieting SUCKS, and I'm sucking at it right now. :P
6.) God, I want a nap. The last two aren't HP-related, but they're true.
There. Six whines that make me feel a little better, even if there's nothing I can really do about several of them. (I might get the nap sometime today, I shall live through the dieting, and I'm going to come back to Peter's scene after writing another.
So vent. What's bugging you?
