Something sadly stuck in my head

"There was a teacher had a school, and Albus was his name-oh.
A.L.B.U.S.
A.L.B.U.S.
A.L.B.U.S.
And Albus was his name-oh"

Recommendation

This is very good, and worth reading. It helps to know something about the Daria-verse, but I'm pretty sure you can pick it up as you go along if you don't.

A new Dawn : Allies - Complete!

The second part of the "A New Dawn Trilogy" is now complete. Although I guess since there is a prequel ("A Summer's Story"), at least one sequel ("The Holiday From Hell") and another one planned ("Return To Willamette") I suspect that calling it a trilogy is probably a bit of a misnomer. (Though there were two Star Wars trilogies, so if I can write the third part of The Hands of Blue story line, maybe I can go back to calling it a normal trilogy. But I digress).

"A New Dawn : Allies" is finished, pending proof-reading and posting to the two main sites, and I am quite happy with it.

Quite what I'm going to do next, I'm not sure. I think "Enemies" will have to wait, at least for a little while. Not least because I am going on holiday in two weeks, and there will be no writing during that week or so.

Plus I kind of want to write "Dark Lord Sidious", or at least get it started. For example.....

Sirius Black was dead!

As Harry listened to Dumbledore explain The Prophecy, and how he was destined to be the saviour of wizard kind, only one thought went through his mind.

Sirius Black was dead!

As he turned and stalked out of the office, the same thought kept running through his head.

Sirius Black was dead!

And as he came face to face with Luna Lovegood, the thought continued to echo.

Sirius Black was dead! And he could not be happier about the situation.


(Yet again, I am reacting to whiny Post-OOTP stories about Harry being all depressed and turning in to a little, whiny bitch).

So - either "Dark Lord Sidious", "Return To Willamette" or another Harry/Jane story. I think "Enemies" is going to have to wait for the middle of August, or possibly September. But hey - that's only really six weeks away.
