A total Hufflepuff-moment ;)

I love this fandom and the people in it! Just thought I let you guys know that :D

I don't have any friends at home that share my obsession with HP and writing fanfic (at least none that I'm aware of, since I don't tell them about it...lol) But this last year I have made some really awesome friends here on Livejournal and on fanfiction.net!

[personal profile] valkyriekat is one totally awesome and amazing person that I've gotten to know in here. I envy her creativity and ability to "know" the characters, and hopefully I can someday become just a fraction of the writer she is! And the fact that she didn't run far far away from me when she found out about my fascination for slash, and especially Snupin, says a lot ;)

And for my birthday this year, she wrote me this wonderful fic. Thank you soooooo much for that, hun! I really appreciate it!

Enjoy people!

It's the language barrier and lack of vocabulary that stops me mostly. I read so many fics and look at all the different ways of writing things, and I get intimidated... I have a very simple writing style in Norwegian as well, so I have to base my stories more on the plots than on the descriptions of people, places, feelings etc... I really noticed that in my PWP stories, they all ended excactly the same way, and I used the same sentences for the same situation in every fic. I didn't even realized it until I finished the third one...lol

But I do like my own stories when I finally manage to write one, I always have. Back in school, I always chose to write fictional stories whenever possible, and the preasure there always made me produce something (I had to if I didn't want to fail...)

My teachers were not in unison in their feedback. Some liked my stories a lot, others didn't, and unfortunately the ones that didn't are the ones that stuck in my head for several years... It's hard to shake of, but I'm getting there...

Glad that you have some pride...don't let language get in the way of your literary ambitions...re language...we could Skype - I only do audio, but common use practise can be useful... ? ;)
