Soooo, if you read my crazy OMG WHAT WAS I THINKING fic Dancing Through Life with Strangers then you might be pleased to know that I have the second chapter completed. All thirteen plus thousand words! W007!!!
Now you might not be pleased to know that it will be a little while fine tuning it. Which I have been doing for the past three weeks that it's been complete. I was having trouble finding Harry's voice. Originally, I had planned on having two chapters per POV, but that leaves a lot of things unanswered. Which is one of the reasons this took so long to complete. Draco's second chapter was almost finished and I had to break ground with Harry's. Harry is kind of a complex, yet not really, creature in this. And I am discovering him along with you guys. He's childishly mature, and he's cowardly brave. Basically he is a huge oxymoron of a mess. He's coming to life before me and I have to see if he works before I pass him on to you.
With Draco I had her/him in my head. I know Draco. I just know her/him in this. Harry I have five different ways for him to go and he is stubbornly refusing them all. It'd help if I worked with a beta, which I will once the whole thing is complete and needs further fine tuning. This is that ONE that I have to get out first, in all it's horrifying glory, and then have someone go back over it with me once the mania has worn down. :D
Now that the preliminary excuses are out of the way let's get down to fic chat, shall we?
First and foremost there is a big, insanely huge plot hole that I am leaving for a later date. It has to do with the maternal bond. Someone, won't name names, explains to Harry that a maternal bond is needed. Harry grows bored and the subject is dropped. The biggest part is that you don't know how, if all of this research is fairly new and fascinating, Draco would be aware of his need to change gender. *Wiggles brow* Yes I am that insane. HUGE Plot hole and I want it there, because it comes up at a later deal. The whole bond mess, and another nice little "Bondy" sort of mess that you discover, is explored through the entire ordeal. Even if you DON'T actively "see" it being explored. It becomes apart of them both...and I am rambling.
Second, The Weasleys are very different, what you see of them, in this next chapter. There is a reason, people are perceived differently by others. I love exploring the Draco/Weasley dynamic and the Harry/Weasley dynamic. As I said in the last chapter it is only Weasley bashing when it's Draco. He sees them as he always has, and Harry, Harry understands them as he's always done.
Third, there is more sex than I'd care for. Like lots of it Harry with others, Harry with Draco LOTS. And almost no Teddy but I think I give reason for that. Really this is mostly Harry and Draco and Obsession. Sex is really the only way they interact at the moment so it was kind of important...or at least that is my excuse.
Fourth, Still haven't got to why Teddy doesn't recognize his mum and dad. That has to be explored more when I get to Draco. Harry's kind of a piss poor godfather.
Fifth, Ginny is a creature I want to explore more in depth but I don't want to take away from what I am trying to build with Draco. I rather feel sorry for her in this, I know at the moment you are probably thinking that she's a complete cunt. Well prepare for a surprise. Not much of a surprise now I suppose. BWAHAHAH
Sixth, Ummmm, I imagine that the time will shift more quickly from now on so this drawn out kind of redundant pace that Harry has will hopefully not stick around. Also Harry's chapter might be two parts. As I read over it I keep seeing stuff that needs to be expanded on. Explained more. Draco is the more simple one as I've said. Cut and dry: Here's your kid, you nurture while I be a complete mess who hasn't sorted out his problems (This being Harry and all).
Alright that'll be it then, as I know I've probably bored you all to death. I know I'm ready to drown myself after that, who said this chic should write updates to crazy fics anyways ;)
Hopefully this next weekend the second part or parts will be up and you can give some feed back. Let me know what you think will happen and where it ought to go. Because at this point I am driving this bitch without a map.
