(no subject)
Jul. 31st, 2002 10:24 amI don't write much fiction, due to laziness and how hard it is, and lack of time, and all those other excuses, or at least that's what I thought. On my desk is a writing pad filled with half finished/started stories, ideas, scenes, bits of dialogue. The Remus/Sirius story that I haven't really got my head round yet, but it's waiting to get out. The Snape/Lupin thing that I want to finish. I have an idea that I want to write something about Hagrid and Remus. The Eroica story I am making notes for now. The X-files fic I have just committed myself to writing. The fest fic I want to write.
A point
'Gotten': I have seen this used so many times in Potter fic that I have almost begun to accept it as okay, but no. Now the time must come to speak out! 'Gotten' is US english, 'got' is British english. It's very jarring to read a fic and come across 'gotten', and it's a surprisingly common mistake.
