A Couple of Updates


Not much has been going on recently as my beta is currently on holiday, although I have continued writing. I’ve got about half a dozen stories almost completed, but they all involve scenes that I’m not in the mood to write at the moment so I have no idea when they are likely to get finished.

My love affair with Dramione is still continuing though, with several of the stories being about them. It seems however hard I try to move away from that pairing it’s just not happening.

I have published the second chapter of ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’ on Lumos (it’s currently taking about a week for the chapters to be verified and uploaded to the site, so expect the third this time next week) and have now also added the first two chapters of the story to AFF.Net.

I have to admit that whilst I love the Sycophant Hex archives as they contain a wealth of good quality and well-written stories that I feel happy to be a part of, it appears they no longer attract as many readers as in years gone by and as the point of writing my stories is for people to read them I have to place them on the most popular sites as well. I’m not sure yet how this story will go down on AFF.net as there’s not a lot of sex in it, but it seems to have attracted a fair amount of readers with the first chapter so I can only hope that will continue.

Additionally, the second and final chapter of ‘The Real Thing’ has been added to Ashwinder. This too has now been added to AFF.net.

So as ever, enjoy reading and if you want to review I would be most grateful, especially if it’s nice. And if you have any stories to recommend that I read, feel free to add a link in the comments and I’ll definitely take a look.

More Stories Than You Can Shake A Stick At

Well, not really, but I did finally get round to doing some posting.

First up is the first chapter of  'Some Kind of Wonderful', the Draco/Hermione fic I've been promising for ages. It's been posted on Lumos, the general HP site run by Sycophant Hex, which may unfortunately be for over eighteens only. It's a shame really as most of the story is actually kind of tame, but as the final chapter will contain lemons it isn't suitable for FanFiction.Net, especially with their newly enforced policies (I have heard many writers complaining recently that their work has been deleted without reference to them for containing language no longer considered suitable on the site).  

Anyway, Chapter One is here, if you want to go and have a look.



Secondly, having rediscovered the Sycophant Hex world I posted Chess on Occlumency, the dedicated Severus Snape archive. 



Finally, in flurry of activity, I have added "The Real Thing' to their Ashwinder site. This is an unashamedly lemony story featuring those old favourites Snape and Hermione. Definitely for over eighteens only and not featuring much in the way of a plot, if you know what I mean ;)

Chapter one has been posted and the second and final chapter is currently going through validation and hopefully should be up in the next few days. 

Chapter One - Desire

Time for me to take a break from posting and get on and do some writing, although I am hoping to get some reading done too. If anyone has any recommendations, I would be happy to hear about them. I would like to recommend 'Finding Remus' by BrownRecluse which I found to be an interesting and well written story.

Until next time. Enjoy reading and please review - I like reviews.

Perfect Match

So I still haven't got round to posting my Draco/Hermione story that I've been banging on about for the last few weeks as I'm still debating where to put it, but I have posted a sweet little first-person one shot on Fanfiction.net, which was the result of a plot bunny that was getting in the way of another Draco/Hermione story I've been working on. If you're interested in reading it the link is below.


Perfect Match


So it seems that my current pairing of choice is Dramione. I can't seem to stop writing about them. I even tried killing one of them off - in a story yet to be released - in an attempt to move onto other things, but they don't want to let go of each other just yet.


Enjoy the story. Reviews would be good, but aren't expected.

Three Wishes - Chapter 11

So we're onto the final chapter of Three Wishes, which can be found here. Time to say a fond farewell to Lucius and Cindy and wish them a happy future. 


I was pleased to at last get some reviews for the story, as it's always hard to judge whether it's hitting the spot when you don't get any feedback. You can't help but wonder whether the story is bad or whether the readers are unable to interact with it enough to comment. But I guess the truth is that most people just like to read and can't be bothered to give feedback unless something happens that affects them strongly, i.e. a plot they hate and whilst I'd like to see more reviews this obviously isn't likely to happen with my work. I can see from the stats that people are reading the story, so I just have to assume that they are enjoying it.
