These was rather fun to do. It figures my style would be like these lovely ladies. I have a shelves in my dining room dedicated exclusively to each of them. Do them yourselves and share!

Also... I have a fic rec for you! The remix done from one of my fics posted and was so lovely and perfect, I want to see it get more love!

Author: currently anonymous
Title: Romance, in Quartet
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, past Harry/Ginny, past Draco/Astoria
Rating: NC-17
Contains: minor character death and suicide (behind the scenes)
Summary: It is a human need to tell stories, as it is to live, to love. As his cancer-stricken son battled death, Draco, the writer of WWN's The Romance Hour, found solace in his quill. Little did he know this romance, written over endless cups of coffee, would star himself and Scorpius’ Healer, Harry Potter. Remix of Coffee Talks by Mab.
Word Count: 14,000
Why I loved it: I loved this story so much, and not only because it's a remix of one of my own fics. The voice the author has given to Draco is just perfect. It's fits in so well with how I had pictured him in my mind when I wrote the original, that being treated to the remix was very much like a visit from an old friend that I hadn't realised I had missed and needed for so long. I do recommend reading the original before the remix, to get the whole story, but I also think this fic stands well on it's own.

And I also want to get more reading of my own done soon.

I put around 2k from each of my novels into the analyzer and was repeatedly given Gertrude Stein. I'm hoping they don't mean her poetry, as lovely as it is. I like my writing to be comprehensible.

I remember this meme from years ago, and it became clear they had surrealist writers on call for stuff too complicated for the algorithms to deal with :D

*takes a bow* I thoroughly embrace being complicated.

Complicated sounds perfectly legit.

Innnteresting. I got JKR a few years ago when I did this meme. I seem to remember a lot of fanfic writers also getting her. I wonder if we're all just THAT GOOD at writing to canon style?

Tomorrow's our day :)

Yes! Yes! Yes! (to tomorrow)

I wonder if it isn't… are we all THAT GOOD at mimicking. :P
