Stories with Lucius and Regulus

So glad to have my Harry Potter Big Bang’s done – at least the rough draft stage. Now I just need to get them edited and spruced up a bit for posting at the beginning of October. I think I’m still in shock that my Lucius Big Bang ended up being a hefty 35k in length, and the short but fun Zombie Bang was 5k.

If you’re curious about the Bangs I wrote for, or the summaries, here’s a quick run-down.

Summary: Regulus Black discusses life as an inferi, living with his new deadbeat neighbors, and then gets a surprise visit from mister tall, dark, and reptilian himself. Apparently Voldemort wasn’t quite finished with him, even though he is technically dead now.

A Horrible Husband

I might be wrong, but I think I just finished this piece! *Jumps up and down for joy!* I know, it’s no original novel, nor a short story to be published somewhere, but I had a helluva lot of fun writing it. This story kind of plays on an idea I had for the final book of the Harry Potter series, that kind of grew into this duel-plotted fanfiction. My word count for the day is a little under what it might typically be at, but I’m not to worried. I wrote over last night, so I’ve got some breathing room to not quite meet the daily word count.

Besides next up I have the very short (and I mean ~5k short) Zombie Bang piece, and I have to think on that one for a little bit. Get myself in the right mindset, and out of Lucius Malfoy’s head for a while. Though it was a fun, amusing place to be for a little while.

No more word debt!

I think I finally caught up with my Camp NaNo requirement today! I had a major fight scene to close out with an unexpected dark creature suddenly showing up. Lucius and company do the best they can though, even though there are a number of injuries left in the aftermath. I think I may have one or two more parts to write to this story before I’ll be completely finished with it. Yay!

It’s about 9:30 now and I’ve got kitties on both sides of me. Watson’s sitting on the couch with me, glaring and wondering why I haven’t gone to bed yet, and Salem’s decided to head to sleep on the ottoman. I have such cute, sleepy kitties!

In other news, I watched the last episode for the first season of Sherlock. Let me just say that I was surprised they left it on such a dangerous cliffhanger! Reading over the setup info for the show, I was under the impression that this was a test run for the series to see how it would be accepted. After that final episode, I guess there was no worry! Now I just have to wait on Netflix to come out with the next seasons already.

The Pit and Other Nasty Places

Today was my attempt at catching up, and I think I did a pretty good job all things considered. My word count for the day was truly epic considering my great lack of words the last few days, and I’m pleased to say that I’ve written enough words to make up for just over two days of Camp NaNo this month. True, I’ll be the first to admit that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 definitely disrupted my usual writing schedule, but I think I’ll be able to handle it. If you had asked me this morning, I wouldn’t have been *nearly* as optimistic.

It’s just after 9:00 here and the day is winding down. Getting ready to start the new week and not exactly looking forward to work starting afresh. I’ve been enjoying the ability to be awash in one of my favorite fandoms all weekend, and it’s never fun going back to the real world. If I had my way, I’d be able to stay in my fantasy worlds more often.

Words Behind in Camp NaNo: 555 (Boo!  But at least it’s not too daunting…)

The Order of the Phoenix working with two Death Eaters on a potential suicide mission. What could possibly go wrong? Lucius finds himself along with Dumbledore and Sirius on a task that’s quite a bit more disgusting than he expected, and then learns a horrible fact about this pit of dead bodies they stumbled upon. Hopefully they didn’t miscalculate the dangers that The Maligned Hand truly pose!

Coming Up: The Boss fight and dealing with The Hand once and for all.

Dumbledore’s Gone Crazy

Well HP 7.2 was AMAZING last night! I signed a guy’s T-shirt, watched an impromptu Very Potter Musical rendition, and finished off the night with pancakes and iced coffee! Not a bad round-up for the evening, especially since I ended up getting around 4-5 hours of sleep too! I admit I was amazed by my own ability to get shit done today, and not be too off from the late-night movie. And I’m slowly catching up to my days from lack of writing. Slowly but surely I’ll get my daily wordcount back to being on time. This weekend will be filled with much more writing!

Lucius has to meet up with several unfriendly Order members, and an agitated Dumbledore. Apparently The Maligned Hand is more of a threat than anyone had realized, and even with their mini-assault group they will likely run into problems. Just another day working for the Order, I mean, the Dark Lord – right?
