Tonks love! And If you're going to tell me I suck, send evidence

[mhalachai]

First off: Tonks love! theregoesyamum has a great character profile up on Tonks: The Deconstruction of a Miss Nymphadora Tonks. In which Gun goes into the character, how Tonks is smart and blunt and fallible and real, and then the writer backs her shit up with evidence. Good times.

Second: You know, if you don't like what I'm doing in my stories, tell me. But give me evidence and specifics, not just "yeah, this licked, you hack." I'm willing to take criticism as much as anyone, but give me a hand and make it constructive, KTHNX.

PS No one actually said that my writing licks, or called me a hack. I'm paraphrasing.

I've got about 2,000 words in the chapter so far. How's that?

considering that each chapter is about 9k words? well... you're getting there, hehe.

But first, the job application de jour! Anyway, this chapter's gonna be a biggie. I have five scenes, and they're all packed full of woe. I swear, I may go crazy. But on the up side, we get some Asher in this chapter!

sorry, left over tension. ahem. omg, the woe!! THE ANGST!! somewhere, out there, the goddess of discord is snickering at harry and anita. they are, after all, her favorite meals.

No biting of Harry! At least, not by any St. Louis vamp. Not yet.

The angst is over! At least for now. I need that to all STOP before people start killing me.

Next: Action! Magic! Shiny things! Luna! Not in that order.

Considering that Nathaniel's channeling Asher right now, it only makes sense. And yes, JC knows all about being blamed by his loved ones for bad shit that happens to his loved ones. :-)

As for the whiners (and I hope I'm not in that number! Please don't do or not do anything on account of anything I've said, unless you judge that I'm not totally full of shit on the subject): When people do crap like that, my inclination is to do more of the things that are causing them to whine. (femmeslash femmeslash femmeslash!)
