Therefore, I can post my Ron ficathon piece. For wellington, who asked for Ron/ Theodore Nott, in Ron's sixth or seventh year, with Ron on top

Steamy, and I was as afraid as Nott, all the way up to the end. I somehow thought Ron was going to pull a prank on the Slytherin. Somehow, as unpleasant as Nott is (and so typically gay -- of the girl-hating variety) he was so real I completely empathized. Even though I knew how off-kilter his perspective was.

You could archive this on Switchknife's Rareslash. I can give you the address if you're interested. I'm not sure if she's still updating it.

I've wandered through Rareslash, but not recently. I'd be glad of the address.

I loved writing Theodore. There is nothing quite as freeing as a viewpoint character who thinks in run-on sentences and horrible metaphors and clinical nouns.

His literary antecedent might be a more literate version of the John Nash in A Beautiful Mind-- the book, not the movie. Though the younger book Nash would make a better Draco: blond, conventionally handsome, brilliant, ambitious, from an old-fashioned family, always competitive, never socialized, and prone to keep his loves in separate boxes.

Nash. Yeah, I can see it. Such an unlikely pairing with Ron. :D

Rareslash is here.

Looks like Rareslash is invitation-only these days. Time to do something impressive . . . or read more A.S. Byatt!

Very interesting - Theodore was an intriguing character, sexism and all, and I really enjoyed his complicated response to Ron.

Thank you! I wanted to write about someone who didn't entirely like sex, for a change, and I think it worked.

You sneaky people with your early posting. ;P

Anyway, this was reeeeaally good. I always enjoy reading Ron with minor characters, no matter how much I love him with the usuals - Draco, Harry and Hermione. ;)

Now you see why I had a *Ron* ficathon. :D

Ron was quite the calm bloke, wasn't he? o.O Hee.

For some reason, I absolutely adore the first line. I have no idea why, it's so.. simpley stated, but it just grabbed me and wouldn't let go and I love it so much! :D

[ursulakohl]

Thanks so much!

I figure Ron's fundamentally nice enough not to be too horrid . . . Even if Theodore is scared to death of him ;)

[thetreacletart]

Wow.

This was exceptional.

I loved your characterization of Theodore and I loved that he called him Ronald.

Wonderfully written. Just lovely.

You could archive on Inkstained Fingers. It's a lovely all purpose slash archive.

[ursulakohl]

Thanks so much!

I found Inkstained Fingers, and submitted the story, though I'm a little confused about how to link without bypassing the password protection.

My grandfather is named Augustus Ronald. He almost lives up to it.
