New Post

Finally, after months of writer's block and school and work and everything else, I have posted a chapter! :)

Chapter 5 of Closer to Heaven Above has been posted on HPFF! Please read and enjoy!

Getting Deeper into the Fic

As you all know, I started college this past fall, and I've been really really busy. However, over Easter, I've had a break to work on some fanfiction and do some reading.

Basically, I reread The Properties of a Rose as it's been posted on HPFF and updated by posting chapter 19. I think that I owe you all a sort of update on my actual writings, so here it is, a list of some tentative plans for the next few chapters:
-develop deeper relationships between characters, specifically:
*more in-depth work with Rose and Scorpius
*some establishment of Jeanette's role as friend to Rose and love interest to Albus
*further introduction to Rose's family, including more analysis of Hugo and her parents
*work on the Slytherins (Ada, Arvin, and Barney, specifically)
-get some new plot developments to keep it interesting by:
*introducing more headgirl duties for Rose (such as Hugo's latest gobstones scheme)
*making Christmastime roll around
*having a Hogsmeade trip
*working on another match

Some of these things will begin to be seen starting with Installment 20.

Please check back here for more information, and feel free to leave comments to discuss the fic with me! :)

Thanks for reading,
Kate/RP

PS: Happy Easter!

Reviews

Okay, so I'd like to complain for a bit here. Anyone who feels like they should jump in may do so.

How is it that I can write a chapter and get 100+ reads but not one review? I'm not the type of HPFF writer that complains about quick reviews, either. I love my long, detailed responses that come from my regular reviewers, but I am very pleased with a simple "good job" or "i like ___ but work on ___." I don't even hate constructive reviews, though I'm not too fond of flames.

I wish I could make all readers take mandatory courses that explain why writers like readers' comments. Since I can't, I'll tell you here.

WE LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OUR AUDIENCE THINKS. IT HELPS US BECOME BETTER WRITERS.

All in all, I write fanfiction for two reasons: 1) to work on my writing skills and 2) to play around in the world of HP. I don't know how I'm doing with either if readers don't respond.

Thanks for reading the rant,
Kate/RP
