Severus Snape and the Half-Blood Prince (36)
The law of unintended consequences. In the first chapter with Katisha, I needed someone to let Snape in the door and it seemed boring to have an elf. Also, not very exotic. So, I put in a "boy." Bad idea. I found myself in writing this part of the story having to deal with why she'd have a boy and ended up with Jonathon. I can't promise you ( Read more... ) -

I figured that I had better get this chapter out fairly quickly, since Ananke is convinced that I've taken a turn into bondage and S/M. I must protest. I don't think it's really going that way. It's just that, darn it, there has to be a little dark magic somewhere in the story.... right ( Read more... ) -

I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by recently and left comments. It's very encouraging and, along with a certain amount of self-obsession, is the main reason I keep writing down what I imagine Snape's backstory to be ( Read more... ) -

I keep finishing up these chapters late at night and then I'm too tired to write an introduction. Even the rudimentary things like warning about sexually liberated hearty Canadian women showing up. Not that that happens in this chapter ( Read more... ) -

It is with even more trepidation than usual that I post this chapter. This is the point where I wonder if I'm jumping the shark. I'm going to post some questions I have in a comment following the chapter. I would really love it if you could share your responses.

Another chapter. I can't think of anything interesting to write to introduce. You're probably confused at my thinking that I've been writing interesting things in the past. :)
Anyway, I hope you like the chapter. It's more for fun than anything else. A frivolous interlude.
