GLP (gratuitous link post)...

[donnaimmaculata]

...for my own convenience.

I've been linking to my fics in the memory section and decided to include links to the two fics I've never posted on or linked to from LJ.

Awakening, a short first kiss ficlet. Sirius/Remus. R-rated.

The Bill/Sirius fic was the first one I've ever posted. It's R-rated and written for the boozefqf. Bill and Sirius get drunk and talk about animal perception and freckles.

Oh, I'm so happy to have this conversation, because you've given me some nicer fodder for Bill-thinking, which I love to do, as I'm quite the fangirl. ;)

It will be interesting to see how his attack affects his confidence. In the fic I'm working on right now, it's set a couple years after the attack and is from Remus' POV. He sees Bill as being very confident still about himself, wearing his scars with pride, but Bill's started wearing his hair down, because his ear is completely mangled and he tries to keep people from staring at it because it makes them uncomfortable. (Nice excuse to have the hair, LOL) But I haven't worked out Bill's thoughts on the matter, and the way he deals with his appearance internally might be very different from the way others perceive. I've been focused more on the emotional upheaval that subtle changes in his personality have had on him and those around him.

I think he can still be the easygoing guy we all liked before, at least on the surface. You know, it sounds so simple, but I always enjoy when people write, as you did, that a character just likes Bill. Because he's likeable. It was very simple, as you've said, but I think he's a well-adjusted enough sort of guy that he won't become too angsty. Or at least, I think his angst will be both at a very superficial level, because I do like him to be a little narcissistic, and a deeply personal level. I think very few people will truly notice a difference in him--I obviously am a proponent of Remus being one of them. ;)

BTW, you have to see the art that odyssey01 did of post-HBP Bill (the one in my icon). I'm such a sap that I cried when I saw it.

But I like dropping allusions and have other characters wonder about their relationship
Yes, I think you do! I enjoy that very much! You certainly got me thinking about how it would all work out.

And I am quite the advocate of the 'supposed-PWP!' I never can put my finger on the difference between a true PWP and a supposed one, but it involves whether I feel an author thought through how a character would act in a sexual situation. It really can say a lot, even if the entire plot is about the sex! I have quite a few of these on my favorite fics list; the authors toss it off as pointless sex and I just don't see it that way.
