FAQ: WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATE ANANKE?

(6/4/09) Oh whoooops. I really took my time with that one, didn't I? La-la-la-lazy. I have no valid excuse for taking so much time to write that last chapter. I guess I just wasn't sure about what the structure was going to be like, so it was difficult for me to finish it. I ended up just leaving a lot of not-that-important stuff out that I will probably deal with in later chapters. The good news is that (and I know I'm going to jinx myself now) is that I've taken a head start with the next chapter, which is practically done and should be ready for upload soon.

(7/2/09) So I wrote a single chapter with around 6500 words, which is about three times time the average length. Megalomanic, much? Ehheh. Well, it had to be done. I had to fit all that crap in one chunk. It would have been dramatically unbearable to split the chapter in two or three chapters of reasonable length.

(7/23/09) Tweaked, edited, and rewrote some of the older chapters - especially that blasted error-ridden chapter 8 I've been meaning to fix for ages. Chapter 17 is on the way. I've already written a rough draft of it, and will hopefully post the finished chapter later this week, or next week.

(8/24/09) ...And it took me a month. Whee, it's fun to lie! Just for the record, the reason it took me this long to upload a chapter that was nearly finished weeks ago is because I somehow absolutely hated writing it. I just couldn't get it right no matter how many times I rewrote it. I still think it kind of sucks, but I got so fed up with trying to fix it that I decided to move on. My apologies for the poor quality. Will try to make next chapters less terrible.

(10/27/09) Little busy right now, hence the delays between the past few updates. Next chapter is almost done, but I can't really tell when I'm going to finish it. I'm trying to get it uploaded as soon as possible.

Hello, I'm Eunike, and this is what I do when I should be doing something useful instead.

I've been reading and writing fanfiction very actively since 2001, but I've only published a number of stories because I often lose interest in the stories I'm writing before I'm done with them. That's why I try not to publish anything until I'm absolutely sure I'm going to finish.

The first fandom I wrote fanfiction for was Cats the musical. I used to be a huge fan of musical theatre in general, but I eventually got bored with it. Since then, I've read and written fanfiction about various different books, such as Les Misérables and Harry Potter. I'm not actually that enthusiastic about the Harry Potter series itself anymore, but I love Harry Potter fanfiction because there are so many different characters in the series to write about. It's just an endless source of ideas. As for my other interests, I'm passionately into mythology, fables, history, classic literature (and modern classic), and artsy movies. I suppose I'm fascinated by stories in general, and I'm not really picky about the form they're delivered in.

Oh, and I'm sorry if I didn't reply to your review personally. I never do that - not that I don't appreciate every single review I've ever gotten. I just didn't realize that it has become sort of a custom until other authors started replying to my reviews and then I felt like an ignorant buffoon for having never replied to anyone. If do you wish me to answer to your review personally, just ask :)

Some random additional notes about my stories:

A Cats Mary Sue Parody (Cats):

I used to have quite a lot of Cats fics posted here, but I eventually deleted them all because the quality was just too poor (they were the first fics I wrote), and I wasn't keen on rewriting any of them due to lack of interest. However, I've kept this fic up because some people seem to like it, and the unintentional spelling errors only add up to the comedy of it :-)

Ananke (Harry Potter):

This in-progress Severus/Lily fanfic is basically about the nineteen-year-old Lily Evans traveling forth in time and finding herself in the year 1997, incidentally winding up at Severus Snape's place and turning his world upside down. I came up with this story when I started thinking that it was pity how Lily never got to witness all the incredible sacrifices Snape made for her. So, I took the clichéd time-travel idea and imagined what would happen if Lily went to the future, and this is what I ended up with. I've also tried my best to avoid the usual clichés of S/L fiction, (even though the idea itself is one big cliché...) and I also tried not to idealize either one of the characters. The fic is kind of dark and kind of funny, because I love angst but I hate pathos - hence, I've tried to make every chapter a little bit funny, and a little bit angsty.

Currently updates quite slowly, unfortunately, because of time-consuming real-time trivialities like work and studying, but I am constantly working on this story because I'm very determined to finish it.

Push, Pull (Harry Potter):

I wrote this hugely angsty S/L fic as a knee-jerk reaction to "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". Misery, ahoy!

The Stink of the Street (Les Miserablés):

This is a Canon-compliant one-shot about Éponine desperately offering herself to Marius before the rebellion begins. Wrote this back when I was really into Les Miserablés.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet (Romeo and Juliet):

A short AU fic about the unhappy future of the Romeo and Juliet who never died.
