New fic posts at metamorfic_moon

[shimotsuki]

Two of my fanfic writing resolutions for 2008 have been to work harder on plots and to try out writing OCs. One of the ways I thought about doing this was to write some of the HBP werewolf-mission scenes for the Kaleidoscope series. So I decided the "Beatles and the Bard Timeless Moon Ball" challenge at metamorfic_moon would be a good excuse to do this. But then I dithered and stalled, outlined and deleted, for most of the month.

Finally, last weekend, I pulled together what I had, and (it's hard to tell when it's your own project, but) I think it did more or less what I wanted. It's not that plotty, but it's setting the scene for some plottier follow-ups, and I did get to attempt some OCs. The idea was to introduce some of the members of the pack, and suggest some of the fault lines inside Greyback's organization that Remus may be able to exploit, while showing Remus being delusional about being able to revert to simple friendship with Tonks while he's away, now that he knows she loves him and he's admitted he loves her too.

• Out of Sight (3658 words | PG/mild profanity)
  As Remus sets out to join Greyback's pack, memories of his friendship with Tonks are his anchor to sanity. But there are certain things that both of them simply must forget, and time spent apart will let them do that. ...Won't it?

I also wrote a second (actually, a first...) submission for Meta while the werewolf fic was being stubborn -- a short AU story in the Warp and Weft ficverse. It was just something to have some fun with, and I did. :)

• A Matter of Opportunity (2390 words | PG)
  Remus is worried about Teddy, but Tonks is worried about Remus, and circumstances lead her to try something she's never done before. She can only hope they are ready for it.

Go you for writing two excellent fics for this challenge!! I really am looking forward to getting to know your OCs better after this little taster. :D

Oh, thanks! It was fun doing all that writing, but my housecleaning has definitely suffered. :)

What with trying to keep up at Meta, I haven't been following your Nanomango posts, but I hope to have a chance to do that soon!

No hurry. :D I will post 4 more pages hopefully Friday, so you can catch up later if you want.

And Meta has been really busy these days, just before the deadline.. And what is housecleaning compared to regaling your friends with fic? Nothing I say! ;)

I am looking forward to reading! You are awesome for finishing TWO fics! (I couldn't finish one, but I will, post deadline!)

I hope to catch up on reading this week!

:)

Hee. That AU fic was a totally unplanned plotbunny, but I went with it!

And what do you mean, you couldn't finish one? ;) I saw that chapter you posted from your WIP -- and now that I'm mostly caught up with things at Meta, I'm very much looking forward to reading it. (Also your post-Meta fic, whenever you get that done.)

thank you
