tarotgalPosted part 20 tonight (er, this morning) on sneezefic. The list was silent after my last posting... hope it wasn't something I did. Y'all were on such a roll with the anime stories! :-)
Anyway... my gosh, I can't figure out what the characters want from me in this story. Usually I have some control over them. But they seem to be leading me in very odd paths lately. OK, ok, so someone's comment got me thinking about Sirius having nightmares like James did with his fever. But things are getting a little out of even my control.
I'm really worried the story is starting to feel like some sadistic piece of work. I gave Lily false contractions, and James nightmares and a cold and spells of passing out, and Remus has the leg injury and Sirius is sick and now Peter... is there no one safe from me? LOL I promise, I want to keep it light, but the characters keep going in these directions and I'm powerless to stop them. I just write what I see in my head, honestly!
It just happens to be a lot of pain and angst, sadly :-( Wonder why that is. My last Legolas fic was pretty angst-ridden, too. I hope this isn't a trend! Maybe I need some light fluffy thing to get me out of this? That Snape-has-a-fetish suggestion sounded fun (though I sort of already wrote one like that... well, Lucius Malfoy had a sneezing fetish... Snape just had a Lucius Malfoy fetish) and I'm still dying to write that one Gayle suggested where Sirius is forced to take care of a cold-ridden Sirius.
But maybe I need some Jedi fluff to pull me back to things? Or maybe I'll just go and work on my John Doe fic some more. It's pretty light.
