A year or two ago, I wrote a dark and angsty chapter fic (Remus/OFC, Snape/OFC, Sirius/OFC) and I sunk into a low that lasted quite a while. I've done the occasional dark oneshot since when the mood hits (most unposted and those that are were toned way down after I scared my beta), but I'm a little tentative about delving into that genre right now. I know where the motivation for a darker fic is coming from, and I'm a bit worried it's going to take me somewhere I don't want to go when I'm in this mood. Being sick was the catalyst for this, and I'm just hoping I can pull myself out of it soon. It's a vicious circle: I can't write because I'm moody, and I'm moody because I can't write.

Ah, I'm through depressing you now. :)
