I think it's just unfathomable to my mind that Harry and Hermione should do anything more than sibling-hugging. I find it hard to imagine Hermione and Ron ending up together, either....XD
Yes, reading it, I can tell that it was a first fic XD but it didn't stop me from the temptation of copying and pasting so I could beta without asking you first. But, I've thought that maybe me Beta'ing would be a bad idea, because I would be sorely tempted to beta-out the HarryXHermione bits XD sorry.
Yes, well everyone has their different ways of creating stories and typing them up. I, for one, end up with a journal and a few multi-colored pens and start writing an outline, of sorts, and adding in research in the margins before typing the outline up in a word-program. But I always have the first chapter, middle chappter and ending chapter outlined before I go through and fill in with details and dialogue, and then comes the filler chapters. It helps create a timespan between events.
By chapter 64 of Precious Mudblood, it became extremely hard to understand where you were taking the storyline. I can understand that writing blind works for you, but structuring the chapter itself would have helped to create a more visual picture of what exactly was going on. I'm still between the thought that A) Hermione split herself into two selves and sent one 50s years into the past, B) either her waking up with only Draco alive is reality, or her time in the past is her reality and her awake with Draco is just a dream that she never remembers, or C) I have no flipping clue what the hell is going on. XD It's very confusing, and difficult to understand. Literally made me want to pull my hair out by the time I got to chapter 75.
I can understand the need to avoid structuring a solid idea for the entire story, but the chapters themselves are so disorganized at times that it hurts to try and figure just one chapter out.
Also, a side note since I was reviewing my full outlines for a possible Volmione that I wrote over a year ago and plan on starting once my Remember November is finished...I read the chapter in Prec. Mudblood where Hermione threw herself out of the hole in the wall to kill herself and couldn't help but thinking - "Oh my god, that's my suicide scene down to the last sentence!" I've never read your works before, and I've been working on the outline for this upcoming epic for two or more years on/off, and I have to say, it was like rreading my outline without knowing it. Except for the conduit thing...
Anyway, I didn't mean to come off as a total bitch just now - I did not have that intent when responding, at all. I apologize if my reply was...rude.
I am actually hoping you will update Captive Audience and Precious Mudblood soon ?
