This is Zelda Hawke, the reason why I'm a little late with my chapter. I finally posted chapter 3 on all my usual places. I have two betas now and my, it was work looking through their edits. I was a bit late posting this chapter, but I was so caught up in Dragon Age II and spending time with my mom over the Hungarian national holidays that I simply forgot what day it was. Yeah, it happens. My new beta, Icicle is helping me with my style. Her questions made me think of how I want to write and in my answers I put in some thoughts into writing on the subject. It was nice to actually express what I think about my writing and what I want to achieve. So I decided to copy some things here in order to remember them. "I actually don't like short descriptions. In the past, I could have written the whole story in 10 pages. I had to work on being able to put more substance into the descriptions and such. I try to give details to things that point to the history of an...

I've put up chapter 2 of my H/D fic. I even managed to find a beta for it and now I just got 2 more volunteers! I've been getting some comments on Ron's odd behaviour after posting it on HexFiles, so I decided to put a little end note on it. Since it does seem really strange at this point in the story, later on it will be understood once I reveal what has been going on the past 14 years. I'm not sure yet when that will be though. I'm at chapter 8 and it doesn't look like it. Maybe around chapter 10. I know what needs to happen until Harry can know just what has been done to Hermione and him. I need to time it right so that things don't go too fast. After all, once Harry knows about everything, there is no going back for him. He won't be able to pretend anymore, so he has to only find it out once he no longer has to pretend. I just hope that people won't be terribly confused until then!

This week I was a very good girl. I cooked for the whole week on Monday evening. I did make some coconut-almond pastry thing, but no flour and I used sweetener in stead of sugar. Okay, I did have to make whipped cream for it, but really skimmed milk and really little portion. I still have a problem with getting up in the morning. I was fine on Monday and Tuesday, had breakfast too, but on Wednesday and Thursday I slept in. Brewed coffee at Starbucks with soy milk and some whole-wheat pastry from another shop. Fine, I got two little pieces of sugary pastry too. On both days I had lunch really late. On Friday, I got up on time. I had some of the lunch foods for breakfast as I made too much again, or I eat too little. I mean, I made one chicken breasts, the two halves in different ways and I still can't eat it. So I had 5 small pieces of my cumin chicken with one piece of whole-wheat toast. I also had a piece of the pastry with coffee. I don't know why, but I felt...

I reposted the first chapter of my new Harry / Draco fanfiction. I needed to make a lot of corrections, but mostly just styling stuff. I posted it to some pairing specific archives and also to my other fanfiction accounts, so it's up in a lot of places. I love to get reviews, so I hope by making it so available, I'm going to get some. The hardest things was getting it on The HexFiles, but I finally managed to make all the corrections they wanted, so it's finally up. I'm so glad. The effort even paid off, as I already got my first review there! BunnySummers 2011.03.02 - 04:08PM 1: Chapter 1: Shocking News Anonymous This is an extremely intriguing premise for a story. Looking forward to seeing how events unfold. :o) So happy!
