Not out of the woods yet...

Nighthawk Nine is finished! It's shorter than I expected, but it just sort of... ended. So it barely spilled onto ten pages, but I think adding more would detract from it. I just have to read it over and make sure nothing sounds horrible, polish it up, and then it shall be submitted! Woot!

I also had to scrap the Christmas interlude idea with Hermione and Blaise. It didn't fit the chapter, what with all the Snape angst, and what I wanted to end with. So it would have been a strangely cheerful middle and that just is not acceptable to me!

So next on the agenda is my wierd little d/g Christmas idea. I've set aside the Blaise as a physic storyline for the time being, since it kinda fizzled out in my brain, but I've got another idea that might prove interesting. We'll see.

Yay, Nighthawk. Am a devoted lurker fan. Speaking of D/G, this (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sarea_okelani/119908.html?#cutid1) sounds like an interesting contest.

*resumes lurking*

I shall be seeing them next week, I'm going away on a camp in umm.... half an hour from now. gotta get ready. yay!!
*wishes you the best inspiration to write the christmas fic*

You should do something with the Blaise psychic thing as well, it was great.
Wee! Nighthawk 9!!! *waits eagerly*

You could make the interlude into a side story? Like an accompanying piece, like how I had my drabbles explain the costumes of the Trio.

So it barely spilled onto ten pages,
Dammit, I get giddy when I have a chapter/story reach five pages. *sigh* Just go one and deflate my ballon.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... that does sound interesting... Must think on it :)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*dances* So relieved it's done! Well... until I have to start on the next chapter :)

My Christmas fic muse is still being stubborn. It's very frustrating! I have ideas, they just don't want to be written. *shakes head*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

You think? I was thinking of incorporating some Blaise/Hermione in that one too... Might be fun if he *sees* something with her...

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I could... except that I used part of his christmas mood with a scene with Draco.

For some reason, I'm having a really hard time writing Hermione from Blaise's point of view. Which is wierd because Hermione is so easy to write for me!

[veracity]

Well, shoot. Was a thought.

I think it's because it's mostly from what Blaise knows, at least now. Which is good. It's good change perspectives.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Okay, you're right. Hermione should be slightly baffling to Blaise. Especially since she's pissed and hurt. *nods*

[jess-bot.livejournal.com]

That would be great, and he would explain it to Hermione, in a very practical way (because he knows that she's a practical person) that they HAD to be together, because he saw it... and she would think he's crazy.
It would be great, just great.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Come to think of it... the whole premise would probably work better as a Blaise/Hermione story. Hmmmm...

[veracity]

*nods* Exactly. And I said that? When?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Um... Well you implied it. Cause you're brilliant. *nods*

[veracity]

*preens* Of course I'm brilliant. It's me, after all.

[jess-bot.livejournal.com]

But with some Draco/Ginny on the side right, RIGHT???
Or even better, Blaise could 'fortell' that Draco was going to fall in love with Ginny, but it turns out he falls in love with Ron, I'd laugh, I'd laugh till I pee'd.
ew, that's gross

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh, that's just... that's insanely good! Ron's the Weasley... The comedic potential for that plot line is astronomical... I promised a Christmas d/g, but that might be too juicy to give up... You are a genius.

[jess-bot.livejournal.com]

Wee!!! That's great, I love giving ideas, and people liking them... because I sure can't write them myself.
I used to be able to write stuff, then I stopped, I don't know why... my muse up and left me to go slut around with other authors, I have seen hide nor hair of any creative thought since.
Sigh, all menocholy now... write some good Ron/Draco sexiness and I'll be happy again *grins*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I hope your muse comes back! It's horrible when it leaves... I think I just got inspired for another xmas fic... I might leave off the ron/draco idea as a non-holiday fic.. Hmmm... must think...
