Grab a chair and a couple of root beers...

My gift-fic was posted at weasley_fest today! Well, I should say, it's a gift for ME, not the one I wrote. Y'all will just have to go to weasley_fest every day and read so you can guess which one I wrote!

Anyhow, my gift was posted today here. It's called "Growing Season" and it's a really good story! Go, read, and tell the mystery author how much you love it!!

For those who are interested, tomorrow is the last day to sign up for this year's weasley_fest! I had a lot of fun doing that last year, and one of my fics from it has been nominated over at bestmatesawards.

Come to think about it, head over to bestmatesawards while you're at it and take a second, third, and fourth look at the most excellent fics that are up for awards. Vote! You may rediscover your favorite fic that you forgot about! You may find a new one that you missed before! You may find you can't decide which one to vote on!

But by all means, take a gander and lose an hour or two reading through some really good stuff!!

And don't forget to sign up for weasley_fest while you're at it, if you're so inclined. Deadline tomorrow!!

love,

Auntie

Author's/Artist's notes: Written for the weasley_fest over on LJ as a gift for etsu_88. This was a lot of fun to write, though it gave me fits at first. In fact, the Husbandly One came very close to banning me from the computer for a while, until I figured out how to get around the corner I'd painted myself into!! This might be one of my favorite stories that I've written so far!






( Letting In the Light )

Okay, all the stories have been posted. I will give you three clues to help you guess which of the many, many wonderful stories posted for the weasley_fest were mine. Not that I will tell you if you're right, and there are at least TWO people who aren't allowed to guess (and you know who you are!), but it will be fun to see how many of you guess correctly before the reveals. *smiles mischievously*

1. There are two.

2. Each one features Harry... and a Weasley.

3. Ginny is mentioned very, very briefly... but she is not the Main Weasley in the story.


Maybe I said too much. Maybe I didn't say enough.

ETA: Comments on this post are now screened (I hope). Thanks to iamshadow for the heads-up. The Husbandly One isn't the only one sleep deprived today!

*giggles and runs off to hide*

Just in case some of you have been hiding under rocks, the weasley_fest is well under way. Someone wrote another gift fic for me yesterday (Auntie scores TWO!!! WOOT!!!), and really, there is a lot of really good fic there!! So, head on over and give those hard-working souls some love, yo!





What are you still doing here? Go!!! Read!!! There aren't NEARLY enough comments over there!! Shoo!! Shoo!!!

Auntie needs a lightning-fast beta,y'all. I finished my Weasley Fest fic in the wee hours, and it's not the one I originally started on. You know how it is, you're writing, it's ticking along nicely, and then you realize it's not really what you wanted, but you're going with it, because it's working, yeah?

Then you get bitten by a large, demanding plot bunny that you can't ignore, and whoa, it just smokes, and you keep writing, even though you're getting interrupted by kids, cats, phones, husbands, etc, literally every frickin' five minutes...

It's done, and it needs a look-over. Any takers?


ETA: softly_sweetly has stepped up to the bat! *hugs her with great enthusiasm* Thank you, Sweets!!
