(no subject)

So I decided to post some of my old unfinished fic, including baby's first fanfic.

Yeah. It's pretty bad. Like most people, when I wrote my first fic I didn't think I needed a beta reader, or to obey the laws of grammar, spelling, good taste or physics. I was also basically writing fanfic of fanfic - commenting on stuff that other people were putting out at the time and not nearly so much on the source text. The story in question actually has some tenuous links to Harry Potter but reading it now, it's obviously so much more about Snape and Slytherin-centric fic circa Goblet of Fire.

Snape is sexed up and there's a creepy teacher-student relationship developing, though in this case, Snape is the student. My intention was to make the relationship (never to be consumated) part cute, part creepy. There's a lot of sex going on in this story, but not much of it happens on screen. It seemed to be the thing back then to have Slytherin be a den of iniquity - is this still popular in fic? I don't read much fic anymore, much less HP fic.

The Slytherin kids are reeeally concerned with their reputations. They're massively pretentious, though they don't really know what they're talking about - randomly name-dropping artists and writers and getting it wrong. The writer also got it wrong a lot of the time. ;-)

Anyway, for your reading displeasure: Arithmancy and Flowers.

And from a year or so later, two other never finished fics.
