I hate writing summaries for fic. Now I know why, when surfing FF.net (for example) you see countless "JUST READ THIS IT IS AWESOME!!" or "R/R!!!!!1eleventy!!!!!!" Because really, writing a summary is kinda beastly.

In other news, tigger, my old computer, died last week. I lost almost all my HP stuff. Am a wee bit devastated but will get over it. Maybe this will inspire me to try something new.
Current Mood: [mood icon] pretty okay thanks

I am having the most interesting experience betaing for a young HP Fan who is making the transition from all that isn't FanFiction.net to all that is FictionAlley.org.

It was totally frustrating at first as her work is full of these really awkwardly phrased things and most everything is written a bit like something that was originally French translated into English. Her things are...backwards.

In English we say, "The red sweater." But French, it's " The sweater red." (Un chandail rouge.) Pages upon pages of sentences formatted like this. Phwoar, it made me feel bad at first, as I was changing things up all over. But then I found out she's only spoken English for less than four years so that is probably why her phrasing is wonky.

So yes, this is frustrating, but on the flip side, she seems like a nifty little kid, and sure she isn't writing something that's going to go down in fandom history as amazing, or that's going to be recced on any of those newsletter things, but she is happy:) And she's writing! Which is all that counts.

I am late with this. I'll walk myself to detention.

I reviewed three pieces by [info]honeycakehorse for the Review Challenge. I wanted to pick three different pieces but ended up picking three based on who was in them! I went with fave characters/pairings each time. I'm glad I did!

Reviews and Links as follows:

TrioFics are my guilty pleasure in the HP Fandom. It was a wonderful treat to discover that I could review one for the Feedback Challenge.

09:48 pm - *nsync fic rec
Did a lot o' reading today. Because it's Saturday and I'm lazy and I qualified it as "inspiration" for my work. Hah! Not bloody likely, but I did come across a little gem of a fic.

I Only Eat Things That Are Already Dead by Rhys@ Experiment V.

The line that sold me?
"Cheap ass motherfucker," Justin said, which Chris knew was Justin-ese for "yes, I am."

Definitely worth reading if you are into *nsync fic.

10:32 am - Fic Rec
I just read the awesomest fic this morning. It's over at Fiction Alley

Eradicated by Kailani.

It's from Draco's POV, contains some really evocative description and ends up with Lucius dead in the end. If you are overly attached to him, you might not like that aspect of it!

What made it so powerful was a combination of the emotions expressed and the words used to express them. This author has an awesome vocabulary and she really puts it to good use.
