Hi...
As some of you may (or may not...) know, I've been writing "Not Quite Love: A Remus & Ginny Anthology" for a while now. As a matter of fact, I just updated eeeeeeeeeeearly this morning...
But now I thought I'd see if anyone has any suggestions for NQL, due to the fact that I like to hear what people have on their minds. Even -- or, sometimes, especially -- if the situation is strange or something not many other fanfic writers would undertake.
So; songfic, suicide-fic, love-fest... I'll take every single suggestion and at least try to incorporate it into NQL, as long as it's PG-rated because I don't do PG-13.
--Hannah

I don't know what weirdness happened! I just tried to post and it disappeared.
Try a songfic. The truth is that I don't like them, so your challenge would be to do it and make it actually worth reading.
By the way, I am slow to update the site lately because I am very busy with school and work. I will get your new chapter up, though, so don't worry.

Alrighty -- chapter nine will be a songfic! *makes a note in large, unorganized fanfic-book* This should be pretty interesting, as I don't really like songfics either. And even more interesting given chapter nine's Theme-With-a-Capital-"T"... Oh, and aikakone: Don't worry about the update thingy. I know there are some people who have actual LIVES.  |

Well, I've been pondering this question (since I love NQL quite a lot), and even went so far as to 're-read' it  . I'll be interested to see what you come up with for a song-fic, I don't like them either. I'm suprised at you aika for even suggesting it  . But back to NQL ~ you have covered many aspects of their relationship  , and told it from all POV's...but one thing that I noticed missing is (and this was an aikakone challenge) the year Remus taught at Hogwarts (so a student/teacher story). Also, and this one would be a bit depressing, having Ginny dying and how Remus copes...had he ever confessed his feelings to her? Were they married and had children? It could be grabbed from many different angles... Anyway, those were just some thoughts for you to do with what you want...and I always look forward to your updates (still laughing over the Google thing!). ~ AJ |

Thank you, AJ, for the ideas!
I've been thinking pretty seriously about a student/teacher snippet, but I want to approach it from a completely original angle... This, of course, will be hard to do but I'm sure if I search inside my head long enough I'll be able to find a little shred of something.
As for the death-chapter, that's good, too... I'm a sucker for unrequited love, so if she died before he said anything -- Wow, that'd be interesting to write. And I just got a Dashboard Confessional CD, too, so I'd have plenty of background music!
You guys are the best... I loff you!
*makes a note in fanfiction notebook: chapter ten, student/teacher -- chapter eleven: Ginny-death.*

Had another thought to add to your To Write list...
How about a "werewolf" chapter? Either one in which Ginny becomes a werewolf OR one in which Remus is cured?
(The thought of Remus being cured makes me think of a question I want to ask in the Remus forum.)

Sweet! I like the idea of Remus being cured or something... Maybe Ginny gives him his medicine...
Hmm...
By the way -- I'm struggling a bit with the songfic thing, and I've looked at all o' the ship songs on GROWL... Anyone have suggestions?

If it's that much of a struggle, don't worry about doing the songfic. I was just curious if it could be done and done well.
My ultimate Remus/Ginny song is "Distant Sun", and the lyrics for that are on the site. Of course that's probably Remus/Ginny specific to my Elemental Force 'verse. [What do you think about that, AJ? You know the story and the song.}

It's not that big a deal -- I have the story all written out -- I just can't find a song that fits it, really. It's kind of... peculiar, I suppose. Inspired by a scene from The Village and whatnot.
I'll check out "Distant Sun" again, though.

But back on topic...you have the song-fic written and just need a song to insert into it? That's certainly an interesting way to do it . Since I haven't seen The Village yet, I can't even think what type of song would go well with it...just about any song by Crowded House or Neil Finn always seems to suit G/R though...must say, if I were to write a song fic, perhaps I'd write it to the Police, Don't Stand so Close to me *laughing*....~ AJ |

Now that I think about it, "Don't Stand So Close to Me" would actually work...
Hmm.
I accept the challenge! Should be posted tomorrow or the day after.
*hums to herself* ...I always thought that tune and "Every Breath You Take" (is that what it's called?) would go well with DSSCTM. They kind of intermix, tunewise.

OK, in conjunction with the new questions being asked, you could also write a chapter where Ginny becomes a werewolf...

I have the worst case of creative-ADD ever known to man.
Mmkay, after a really, really long time I've changed my mind more than I can count and have finally almost-finished the next chapter of NQL, which is no longer inspired by The Village. Blaah, CADD sucks.
And, to reply to AJ's suggestion: Yes, I think I shall write a Ginny-werewolf chapter. It's been something I've been wondering about, but I think I'll do it.
Eventually.
