Everyday From Right Now: Chapter 12

LINK: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3725509/12/

A few hours early today! Reason: it is my younger sister’s birthday today, so she’s coming up to L.A. to visit with me. We’re gonna go out shopping this afternoon and then to dinner later. Lucky for you, I decided to post now (from one of my campus libraries, using glorious WiFi on my laptop) then waiting until late tonight. It’s ‘cause I love you. :)

And this one is definitely a doozy of a chapter. So let me give you my comments on pretty much everything that happens:

-- First off, this actually was an unplanned chapter. I originally thought I was going to get everyone up and then just jump to the funeral. But then I envisioned the cute R/Hr scene at the beginning of the chapter that I just didn’t want to cut. And that in turn led to more possibilities of everyone taking N.E.W.Ts or going back to school, which I am still planning on covering. By that time, I had seven pages written: roughly half a chapter, and still wanted to reiterate Ron’s new position of helping George cope.So I threw up my hands, lol, and just finished the chapter.


-- I also wanted a little bit more insight to Ron’s character. He’s always been my favorite, and I’ve always hated that some people write him off as an idiot. I mean, alright, he sometimes can act like one, but he really isn’t, you know? (I personally blame movie-canon for his bad rep, but that’s another rant for another time…)

Anyways, although I did do a bit of that characterization in Ch. 11 with his nightmare, I wanted to again work in the stuff with George. Remember, Jo has said that Ron does go help him in the shop, and while I could’ve had it crop up in just one line, I wanted to really develop it.


-- As for the ending of this chapter… I did NOT expect to write it at all. I swear it.

I thought that it was just going to be another sweet R/Hr scene, maybe something familiar, like Hermione comforting Ron or vice versa, or them just talking about Fred being gone. But it just didn’t happen that way. Mostly, I think it was because I had already done that multiple times before; I did that first chapter even!

Then suddenly, they were talking…and then when I decided that Hermione was dressed nice for the funeral…and the fact that Ron is your TYPICAL BOY…and things just took off from there…

I’m going to clarify this though. I don’t really do anything in my fics that is more than what is accepted at a “T” rating. That is, I may mention stuff, or give you the basic gist, and maybe a juicy detail or two…but I’m not going to do smut, porn, lemon…whatever you choose to call it. Am I against it? No. But it’s just something I don’t do.

On the same token though, Hermione and Ron WILL have a physical relationship in the fic. I mean, so do Harry and Ginny. They all do. And like I mentioned earlier, they ought to…the only end up married with kids! But I think I can write it in a way that can be handled easily. I think very highly of my readers and say that we can all be adults about it.

So get the giggles out now, lol. ‘Cause Ron and Hermione are not going to stop making out and/or groping each other for a long, long, long time. XD


-- Oh, and for the record, Ch. 11 is my second most reviewed chapter, second only to Ch. 8. And those are what I acknowledge as my pure fluff chapters. This tells me that you all still really like the romance, sap, fluff, sweetness that is there…so I’m not going to stop putting it in. …And I wonder what this chapter’ll get now. ;)


So. Now what?Well, you will get another update next Friday, on schedule, as planned. Because I’m awesome enough to do that, lol. I will get you right up to Fred’s funeral…and then…then I think I need a break.Nothing huge or drastic, lol. It’s not like I’m going to say “Alright, see you at Christmas!” No, no, nothing like that. However, I think I’ll need an additional week to catch up on the fic. There’s still so much that I have to write, it’s all just sitting in my head right now! And it needs to get out before it gets lost under all my facts for my English and Astronomy classes.What I will do though is that because you’ll have to wait two weeks, I’m going to try posting all the deleted scenes I have…that’s three.

And I am also OFFICIALLY OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS so this is the time to start giving me your input on anything else you think should be in the fic, something you want more of, something you want less of and anything you like.

I won’t tell you if it’s already in the fic, if I’ve already rejected it, or even if I’m going to use it (at least not yet). This is just to let me know what else you want, so I can really cover as much as possible. ‘Course if I do end up with something someone specifically requested, then you’ll get your credit. :)

Just don’t ask me to do all nineteen years, lol.

*Whew* Long post, but lots of info. See you next week….and wear black. It’s the funeral.
