So.
Once upon a time, my dearest
scheherezhad decided to do a complete cop-out and declare that February was Fic Amnesty Month.
This is really just a fancy term for I'm-not-going-to-finish-this-so-I-might-as-well-post-them-to-torture-the-people-I-love-with-the-realization-that-there-will-be-no-more-of-this-story-ha.
Yes, I agree. Fic Amnesty Month is indeed catchier.
And then she said, "Come on, you should do it with me! I know you have stuff you're not going to finish!"
I, reluctantly, agreed.
I dug around, and to my surprise, actually found a couple of things that I no longer have any intention of finishing.
So, first entry for Fic Amnesty Month.
P.S. Still confused? Here's the basic idea, stolen from
scheherezhad.
I'm contemplating using February as a sort of...amnesty-slash-"hall of apathy" thing, in which I would post random ficbits once or twice a week. That way I could clear out some mental space by sharing things that will never get finished or revised and so won't be "official" fics.
That make more sense? Good. :)
Title: untitled
Fandom: Harry Potter
Character/Pairing: I think it was meant to be Harry/Draco
Summary: Draco is bratty and Harry's a bit stranger than usual.
What I wanted to accomplish: I've no idea. At this point in my fic career, all I was writing was angst, so maybe I was trying something fluffy. It's still kinda funny, I think.
Why I stopped: Lack of focus, lack of interest. I didn't even remember it until I was looking for something to post for Fic Amnesty.
What I would change: Well, the strange tense shifts, for one. Ick.
Et cetera: I remember something about Draco transforming Ron's stool in Transfiguration class into a turtle and Ron trying to stay on the turtle as it crawled around the room until Hermione got exasperated and changed it back into a chair for him. For some reason, that was funny to me.
( Um. Yeah. )
