A'Harry Pottering I go...

[coyotegoth]

Today's fun: writing an intense Snape/Bellatrix confrontation, as part of a prologue to a story set immediately after Half-Blood Prince. If the rest of it rolls out as smoothly as this did, it could really be something.

Two requests, if I may:

1) What are the major unanswered questions that would need to be resolved in a hypothetical me-written version of Book Seven? (Dumbledore's absolute trust in Snape- which will be prove to be well-founded... that sort of thing.) And, which characters most need to make a reappearance?

2) Out of the billion or so HP sites on here, where's best to post weekly installments for a wider readership?

(Dude, I cannot wait to see what you think of my version of Snape.)

1)
- Dumbledore's trust in Snape as you mention -- we need to know the why, and to a certain extent the timeline of when he switched sides and when who knew about it.
- Prophecy issues -- does Harry have to die to kill Voldemort, and if not, what's that business about death in the prophecy -- that has to be made to make sense.
- Narcissa (she's not a DE but how strong are her sympathies? Have they been changed by the position Draco was put in? There's a lot of issues of her emotional life that inform a lot of things on that side of the equation, and while we don't need to know, I think it makes any tale richer).
- Pansy -- into Draco because he's a Malfoy or into Draco?
- Draco: Marked or not?
- Lucius -- safe in prison? mind-raped by Dementors? escaped? or what?

2) If I fucking knew. Kali and I are having a devil of a time figuring out what's active and where people are reading these days.
