caution: swearing

I swear to *god*, I have never been so close to abandoning Inevitable as I am right now. Think I can go back a few chapters and have Olaf and Nathaniel having a nice tea party instead? At this point, it would be less painful to spork my eyes out. This chapter is never going to fucking end.

yeah, yeah, back at it. No fic abandonage today.

So, um, today's link/rec/point: Today's Harry Potter news:

The Vatican's whipped out its head exorcist to say Harry Potter is evil. As anyone who's read [livejournal.com profile] mctabby's summary executions knows, he's right.

A blogger is comparing those recently unveiled claim that Judas was helping Jesus, as published in the Gospels of Judas, with the actions of Snape in HBP.

ETA: Sheesh, I'm whining again, aren't I? Somebody slap me. Really, I do enjoy writing. I do, I do, I do believe in fairies.

wow

While as a writer I understand how difficult it is to keep going when we're 'torturing' our characters, I implore you to keep going. LKH is always talking about how she struggles with it, and you've captured the characters so incredibly well, it is no wonder that you would o that same. I just read the entire thing for the first time in only two sittings (sleep did become necessary) and it is a very moving, compelling and oftentimes poiniant work. Keep with the writing, know that when you get to the part where you can sooth them, that you will feel so much more complete.

Take care,
Galen

It's hard to tourture characters I like. And really, I like Nathaniel. Kicking him is sort of like kicking a puppy: It makes you no friends. Thankfully, the chapter is now over! And I'm heading back to Hogwarts, to let Anita et al. have some time to heal.

2 sittings? Wow. That's a lot of words. I keep trying to go back and reread the story, but it's so wordy :) I do tend to go on. Got that problem.

Thanks for commenting :)
