Ten signs a fic was written by karelia/ladyinthecloak

I have successfully evaded this meme until [livejournal.com profile] little_beloved tagged me tonight. Pondering those ten things just made me realise how cliché-loving I am *snerk*.

1a) It's always about Hermione and Severus.

1b) If sex is involved it's mostly glossed over.

1c) There will be some angst and/or mystery (or so I'd like to think), which will soon be solved with joyfulness.

2. There is some aspect of supernatural/metaphysical/weird_stuff.

3. There will typically be other characters from the Potterverse involved, and, strangely enough, I tend to create one original background character who has something wise to say (or so I'd like to think).

4. There will be at least some reference to music. Sometimes, just titles of songs, sometimes one character playing an instrument, sometimes simply the sound on which the universe is based on. Or merely a mention in the story title. But, you know, something.

5. There is a distinct lack of psyche crap. If he thinks there is no chance for them for more than two chapters, then I'd rather scrap the story. Cuz we have Jung for all the reasons why he can't. I prefer to explore their actual relationship, as Jung already explored all the non-relationship.

6. There is a distinct lack of "medical" references, no matter how sick a character is. Management of sickness is a purely Muggle thing.

7. Severus is always positively IC. Although I'm possibly the only one who sees it.

8. In multi-chaptered fics, there tend to be a few cliffhangers. Blame the Muse. She's fickle and likes to be the centre of attention.

9. Hermione is NEVER below 18 by the time she realises Severus is her soul mate.

10. Happy ending is absolutely inevitable. If I want unhappy endings, I'll read the newspaper or watch the news.

I tag... *ponders*... [livejournal.com profile] amsev, [livejournal.com profile] angelmischa, [livejournal.com profile] bambu345, [livejournal.com profile] ellaselenelupin, [livejournal.com profile] mundungus42

Yay for happy endings ... and yay for Karl Jenkins! I'm a little bit partial to him myself! :)

*grins* I'm becoming rather fond of RVW these days. But yeah, Karl Jenkins is one of a kind!

At long last my jury duty is done and I'm catching up on my f-list. I love your ten things list, especially numbers 8, 9, and 10. I couldn't agree more and I'm offering some tasty chocolate to your muse for being so creative!

The muse thanks you for the tasty chocolate and says you're much kinder than the one she feeds with plots.

She is more than welcome, and I wish her the very loveliest of Valentine's . . . and you as well. I do hope you have an excellent day.
