Another Harry Potter related post, although applies to all mediums and fictional universes in which one finds themselves invested.

Twelve years ago, I went through a terrible loss. I was mostly just shocked; I didn't really process it until the next morning, when I cried into my pillow. Mostly I was numb. Then sad. Then angry.

Linda (lindalupos), one of my best friends, signed onto MSN Messenger. It was like finding someone you love in the crowd following something terrible. I IMed her immediately, and all I said was "Linda..."

In response, Linda said, "I hate her."

"Her" was JK Rowling. She'd killed off our favorite character. After giving him a... very WTF-filled story arc in Deathly Hallows.

Installment one of my A Very Potter Holiday Anthology, an anthology of the holiday themed Harry Potter one-shots I've written over the years.

Title: Rufus Scrimegour's Annual Christmas Party

Words: 3,767

Rating: PG-13

Ships: Remus/Tonks

Summary: Each year, Tonks dreads the Auror Department Christmas party. When she mentions it to two veteran pranksters, the party becomes significantly livelier than usual. Takes place during Order of the Phoenix.

Originally written for rt_morelove's Twelfth Night Tales.

I originally wrote these for [livejournal.com profile] rt_morelove, and figured I'd edit/repost them.

Author/Artist: author_by_night
Title: The Beholders
Part I: Sirius
Rating & Warnings: PG-13
Word Count/Art Medium: 1,164
Prompt(s): 4. Style: Multple narrators, not to be Remus or Tonks.

Summary: For better or worse, Remus and Tonks didn't always know how to see themselves. At their worst, they were too similar for comfort, yet too
different to grasp. At their best, they were deeply in love, and that was all that mattered.

Who they were, then, was in the eye of their beholders.

Notes: This is the part I of an anthology of sorts, all using the same prompt but having different characters (apart from Remus and Tonks, of course).

Also, constructive criticism is welcome.


Part I: Sirius )

Ultimately I thought it was pretty good, especially compared to the other movies.

Spoilers )
Now, I know some of you did your own reviews, but I've only found two of yours, so if you reviewed the movie already, link me to it! I missed out on the excitement as I was saving the movie for the holiday.

The gist: Start typing something ficcish, whatever comes to mind. The less sense it makes, the better. If possible, make a serious fic out of it - or a funny one, but a funny one that makes sense.

Mine is here:

I am steering all of you towards rt_challenge. True, some of the fics are, well, a bit overdone, but there's loads of good ones that I think have gotten less attention than they deserve. The comm's in slight danger of becoming like a room where everyone is talking, but  only a few people are acknowledging.

So fellow R/T people,  (and non-R/T shippers who still read anything), let's show some support - and that goes for me too, I've been really bad about reviewing.  But I think we ought to make an effort. I've been a bit put down by how few reviews I got for the two I put up, and I've been even more put down when seeing all these other fics that aren't getting reviews! A comm I used to be the mod of died because of that - nobody was reviewing anyone's stories, and people just gave up. Don't want that to happen to rt_challenge!

Like I said, nobody feel guilty, I've been awful but reviewing too. I just think it's important to appreciate your fellow writers. 


So, let's review! :D

Title: The Undeath

Characters: Remus, Tonks, Hermione, Ginny, Harry, Ron, Fred, George

Author: Author By Night

Genre: Dark parody

Rating: PG-13 for dark humor

Summary: Remus’s soul is being tragically ripped from his innocent skeleton. To make matters worse, Tonks is pregnant. Oh noes!!!!! 
Notes: A parody of (bad) Remus angstfic. However, it's also dedicated to my friends who know perfectly well how to write a good
darkfic.

Warnings: Dark humor. Also very poorly written, albeit completely on purpose. You have been warned.
