Website updated!

The Snupin section of my website is now up to date, thanks to my wonderful webmistress Maxine! All 26 chapters of Scars are now up, and I'm working on writing the next one. Deathly Hallows and this whole LJ controversy kind of distracted me, so I hadn't gotten much writing done in the last few weeks, but the story seems to be flowing nicely now. The Petshop of Horrors section should also be updated within the next week or so.

Oh, and I also got everything in the Always series up on Moonshadow except for Scars, since the policy is to only upload completed works. But when it's done, I'll archive it there.

Actually, I did get quite a bit of writing done now that I think about it. Whenever I got stuck on Scars, I did some work making notes and outlines for that post-Book 7 Snape/OMC plot bunny I had. I even wrote a rough draft of about 10 pages for the opening chapter. And since it's mostly set in Japan, where the tengu have a sort of pseudo-samurai type society, I had a lot of fun doing some research on Japanese history and literature. And lots more fun watching samurai tv dramas for more "research". ^_^ I'm just having so much fun doing this regardless of whether anyone ever reads it or not. As I mentioned before, I normally hate seeing Snape and Lupin in other pairings, but it's strangely liberating to work on something different from what I usually write. It sort of helps to think of them as completely different characters from the Always series Snape and Lupin, although there are similarities--closer to the angsty Snupin in the first story, only they never really manage to get over the past. I decided that the problem wasn't so much adultery (although there will be the complication of Lupin/Tonks), but more distrust and miscommunication. And I'm toying with the idea of throwing in a bit of Lupin/Draco--which I always thought of as a very strange pairing, but the idea has been gradually growing on me since HBP and the introduction of Greyback. I really like the idea of Draco being turned into a werewolf, and needing to rely on Lupin for support.

But I will definitely finish Scars first! I was sort of stuck on how to handle the scene where Ash gets kidnapped, but something just clicked, and now it's going smoothly. Hoping to have another chapter done soon.

Oooh. I like the sound of that. If Snape is off with someone else, Lupin should at least have someone of his own.

"Hoping to have another chapter done soon."

Looking forward to it. I'm very glad that you've only been distracted, and not turned off altogether!

That's exactly what I was thinking! Well, technically Lupin has Tonks, but I consider that more punishment than benefit, so I wasn't planning to keep them together. ^_^ And I didn't want to copy The Blue Door and pair him up with a Weasley boy, so Draco seemed like a good choice.
