salt & pepper fest reveals

[pauraque_bk]

The Salt & Pepper fest master list is up! I wrote:

But Not Narrow (PG-13, Hermione/Ron, Hugo/OMC) [AO3]
Naturally, Hermione is completely supportive when Hugo comes out of the closet. It's a bit more of a surprise when Hugo returns the favour.

I loved writing this. The prompt, from sdkshelly, was about a middle-aged Hermione figuring out that she is not straight, a concept that I was instantly drawn to. There were so many ways to go with it that I was actually a little overwhelmed at first and had a hard time settling on just one idea. But when I found the right one, the story just seemed to write itself, which is extremely atypical for my writing process, and was a pleasant change. :P

Meanwhile, I am sick as a dog, and have been for over a week. I keep thinking I'm getting better, and then it's like... nope, not even close. I can't really complain too much, because since I quit working in retail I get sick very rarely (money and people are filthy, it turns out) but I'm certainly looking forward to feeling better soon. :\

What a beautiful read. You worked the characterization and subject matter into one another so incredibly well. Do you mind if I link it on my fandom tumblr? I hope you get to feeling better asap!

I actually got even sicker after this post and didn't even see this comment until now - eep! But I'm doing much better now, thanks. And of course, feel free to link to the fic on Tumblr. I'm glad you liked it!

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I'm giving Hearthstone a try, so if you see "silkedge" or some variation, that's me (assuming I can figure out the friending system there).

Yep, I accepted your friend request! It did just occur to me, though, that I don't know where you live, and you might not be playing on the North America server. It's not a disaster if so; anyone can play on any regional server, you just can't bring existing card collections from one region to another.

I'm in Texas (Central Standard Timezone), so I think it shouldn't be a problem. When are you usually around?

[pauraque]

I often play in the evenings (Eastern time), but also sometimes random times during the day, during breaks from work. You'll also be able to see me online playing other Blizzard games, so sometimes I may be busy doing something with folks, but it never hurts to drop me a message!

This was perfect. Your Hermione is so curious and her need to share her new insight is charming.

Thank you. :)
