Where have all the muses gone?

Am I the only one really craving post TDH fics?

August, I could understand there being so few post TDH fics.  WIPs that had been started before needed to be posted. September, again,  I could understand.

But half a year later... I don't understand that.

There's so much backstory and a nineteen year gap to work with. So why not write about that? That's what I think a lot of us are more interested in.

I mean, I don't mind it if people don't want to stick to pre-TDH universes, I just don't know why more people don't want to work with the new canon.

Interestingly I didn't really get into the fandom until AFTER DH. I've been reading the books for eight years but full on fandom obsession didn't kick in until after I read DH. I'm so in the minority. *lol*

DH came out at the best fandom time possible for me. I was becoming so disheartened by my other main fandom and it really helped ease the fall.

And every single one of the fic ideas I've had (outside the one I wrote for a secret santa- the prompt was pre DH) has been post DH. Although, there is a strong lack of post DH fic regarding a lot of subjects I'd like to see...

I feel the same way. Where's all the Dumbledore fic? The fic on how the heck Scorpious got such a horrid name? The fics where little Teddy looks up to Harry? Etc.

For Lupin fics, you can't beat FernWithy.

At least She's still writing (although she's very miffed about losing Remus and Tonks)...

No, you're not alone. I'm the same way, so hi there :D.
