It was interesting doing this post, because there turned out to be more things on the list than I was expecting. Most of them are pretty short, though; the official count is eleven stories or chapters (1000+ words), eight ficlets (500-999 words), and six drabbles (100-499 words).

It's actually hard to believe that all my Chalion attempts are from 2009. It feels like I've known that world for longer than only one year. I also have to note that two of my new fandoms (Chalion and The Thief) were introduced to me by

gilpin25. So much of this is her fault. ;)

2010 resolutions? This will be the year I finish "All Will Be In Order," and it's always a goal to be working on "Kaleidoscope"; maybe I can finish the OotP part? I'd also like to write more Chalion or Vorkosigan, especially if there's a ficathon again this summer. And more original fiction, even if only a little.

I'd been planning for a week to make a gleeful post tonight about how I'd finished off a work project (that accursed book chapter) that had been plaguing me all winter, and managed to post a fic at

fandomfusion.

...Unfortunately, the book chapter is NOT DONE. *sigh* I can't imagine in the grand scheme of things it will matter all that much to the editor if he gets the chapter on June 2 instead of June 1, but I'm still feeling all bogged down and wishing it were over. One more day. Tomorrow I'm sending it in, no matter what.

At least the fic is done! :/ (And lest this make you question my priorities, heh, it was mostly finished a good three weeks ago, and just needed some final tweaking over the weekend when I was too tired to be working on the book chapter.) I'd been wanting to write another DH fic set at Hogwarts after having so much fun with The Sorting in 2007(!), so I was glad the

fandomfusion prompts sent me in that direction.

Stumbling in the Dark (PG | 1450 words)
Dumbledore set the wheels in motion, but he left no map. All they can do is hold on tight and hope that someone knows where they are headed.

Congratulations to my fellow deadline-stalkers, especially

duck_or_rabbit,

gilpin25, and

hrymfaxe -- we made it! And you'd better believe that I will be celebrating with a big ol' dose of fic-reading and graphic-novel-viewing as soon as that book chapter goes out. Tomorrow. Yes. (And you're first,

zia_montrose. ;) )

Okay, the last thing I need right now is another big WIP. But I have a feeling that I'll be fending off plotbunnies from time to time that deal with events at Hogwarts over the course of DH year, so I've decided to go ahead and call it a series. Even if it doesn't get updated all that often.

Under the Long Shadow
A chronicle of various happenings at Hogwarts during the year of Voldemort's ascendancy.

The Sorting (1539 words | PG)
Minerva has always been a Gryffindor. She has never been a coward. But tonight she is expected to come face to face with her new Headmaster, and she is not at all sure that she can go through with it. [Originally written for undesirable_no3.]
