mhalachaiOkay, a poll! The voting will be open until the day I post chapter 43 (the one after next), as some answers will be received then. The person who gets the most right will get to choose an Inevitable missing scene of their choice. What I mean is, you can go back to any point in the story to date (or before the story beings if you so desire) and tell me to fill in the blanks (with the character POV of your choice).
So: Vote!
[Poll #645141]
As an aside, two things about skyehawke: is there someone way to look at all stories besides HP? All I can ever find on the latest page is HP, and the same thing on the "most popular" page (and those are all SS/HP or DM/HP or DM/SS or DM/SS/HP). Speaking of which, what does this mean: M/M,M/M/M,Anal,D/s,Slash, Mpreg?

Date: 2006-01-04 06:11 am (UTC)= This fic contains male pairings (M/M) and threesomes (M/M/M), depiction/s of anal sex, dominant/submissive, slash (o rly?), and male pregnancy.
I don't know what this says about me, that I can translate that. Probably that I've spent too much time wading through the Pit of Voles ;)

Date: 2006-01-07 09:54 am (UTC)On a more serious note, while I don't go out of my way to read bad fic (fanfic or otherwise), it is far easier to see what makes good writing when you're reading Really Bad Writing, as opposed to the most beautiful paragraph known to man. I have learned more from the Pit, and from giving crits to others, than from reading the writing I love or from crits received.
(the beautiful paragraph has its place in learning - it's just harder to see what makes it so good if that's all you've ever known)

Date: 2006-01-04 06:17 am (UTC)M/M = Male/Male pairing
M/M/M = Male/Male/Male pairing (I'm assuming)
Anal = Um... Ass...(Have you seen 40 Year Old Virgin, "Butthole pleasures."....Anyway....)
D/s = Dominant/Submissive
Slash = Same sex pairing
Mpreg = Male Pregnancy

Date: 2006-01-04 10:59 am (UTC)Asher has so many reasons to be irrational, it's hard to choose just one. We haven't seen him enough in the fic to really judge (or it was a while ago and I've forgotten, more likely) besides he could be angry for several of these reasons.
As for Richard, he's probably feeling very guilty, but nonetheless determined to get something good out of this -- if only so that his pack will be protected, and Harry will have a place to belong to; a way of repairing what he did.
And for the last, I put Luna because I'm wondering why she's even on the list if you don't plan on doing something with her. XD She's not THAT close to Harry, and she doesn't have "antagonist who WILL influe on the plot if they have even three lines of text" vibes like Snape or Narcissa. (of course it might also be them for that very reason -- or it could be Dumbledore because -- or Ron or Hermione got word that harry was coming back and they were worried and missing him, or --) So I chose Luna because I was wondering what she's even doing on the list, but really, they could all have a reason of being there. We don't know enough yet about where you're going with that. (which is why I want to knooooow~ I know it's bad to never review, but. I'll keep throwing myself at the next chapters as soon as they pop up for a long while, I think.)

Date: 2006-01-04 02:18 pm (UTC)RE: fanfic terms -- What everyone else said. ;-p
RE: first of Harry's wizard friends/associates/etc. Anita will meet in London -- Well, Dumbledore would probably want to be there, but I can see him sending Hagrid out to do the honors, just so he can visualize the look on Anita's face. But I also wonder if Molly Weasley might be the, erm, meet-and-greeter? ;-)

Date: 2006-01-05 05:31 pm (UTC)Hmmm...
Date: 2006-01-04 08:08 pm (UTC)Yeah, I think the fact I knew immediately what those meant means that my fanfic experience has taken a decidedly unexpected turn...
Mpreg took me the longest to figure out - you can imagine how surprised I was when I found out what that meant!
Loving the story though - can't get enough of it and gobble the chapters up as they come.
You have no idea how estatic I was when I read you had enough material for 20 more chapters, or till about June - for some reason I had it in my head that Harry going to England was going to be some sort of stopping point.
Rarely have I been so thrilled to be wrong.

Nope! That's the end of Part I. Part II is Harry in England plus other sooper-sekrut stuff. And 20 chapters is a rough estimate. I've got a lot to do, and it may possibly be more chapters. The story will end, however, soon after Halloween.
