Well, then.

Currently editing Department to archive it on ao3, and holy crap, guys, why didn't you tell me how bad the SPAG was? And WHY DIDN'T ANYONE MENTION THAT EVERY ONE OF THE FORMS HAD AFFECT INSTEAD OF EFFECT IN IT?!

Ahem, some of that might be residual rage from Phillip Seymour Hoffman dying.

EDIT: Also, apparently I made Hermione a jerk. Editing that right out of there. Wow, 2005!Mallory. Way to be an asshole.

EDIT 2: Living in England really made me hate America for a while. Wow. How does anyone like this story? I was an asshole.

EDIT 3: I think I'm just gonna liveblog editing this. Why did I include so much of Seamus-I'm-very-straight-Finnigan? He had exactly 0 affect on Draco's personality and character development. He didn't serve the plot at all. Would anyone be opposed to me taking his character out altogether? Draco's going to America to meet Smith either way.

EDIT 4: Why did I have Draco sleep with Leopold? He made him physically uncomfortable before they ever even kissed.

EDIT 5: Yeah, Seamus is going.

I've signed up for 3 fests this summer to write 4 stories, and I think I want to sign up for more in the art category (I just started learning to paint with watercolors and I want to try some fandom stuff). Have I lost my mind?

Also, was there ever a Ron Big Bang? [YES!] And if so, is it still going on? [No!] I know the Draco one isn't (and I'm honestly tempted to see if the former mods would let me take over and get it started again). I really liked modding ron_draco_fest and now I want to do another, but I don't know what to do. Do you think anyone would go for a Blaise/Harry fest? I'm sort of loving the pairing right now.

Oh, and the next Law of Averages ficlet should be done and ready for beta tonight. It's going to be around 5-6k and my first straight bdsm. I'm a little nervous.

I'm shuting up now and getting back to work. My lunch is long over. Sigh.

EDIT: Wow, my auto-correct really hates me. Part of me wants to edit this post and part wants to leave it as a testament to the failure of swype technology.

EDIT2: OCD won out. I couldn't handle the horrible word mis-use. Thanks swype for being a terrible guesser at what I meant to be typing. Also, Braidwood S Maple St 138 is not a place. You had the town right, though.
