I'm so pleased that you hear him so clearly. I liked writing it and having a story that it fit into. I don't know if this makes sense (here comes more damning, I have a future in a loony bin info) but different things that he would say run through my head and I don't always have a something to put it in. He's been wanting to say some of this for awhile.

I was raised Lutheran and then my parents switched to Church of Christ. I went to all parochial schools for the most part, even boarding school. Despite all of this indoctrination, I always had a problem with Paul. I read a book about 8 years called The Hiram Key and opened the door for me to do a lot of questioning. I was very surprised to learn that Jesus is only the last in a long line of virgin born gods, who came into the world in a manger, under a star, etc. Clealry the story was borrowed from somewhere else. I can't say that I am a full ledged pagaan but a devout Christian would argue that I wasn't that either. I have broadened my perspective quite a bit in these last 8 years and prefer to make up my own mind now. Organized religion never really worked for me, even the local pagan groups so I sort of find my own way. I think I like it better that way.

Yeah, too obvious on the Harry/Ron thing? I just can't seem to make myself not explain why Ron isn't working and it just wasn't central to the plot so... my first tentative foray into slashiness. Not really something I tend to explore though, occaissionally reading it because there just isn't that much het!Sirius, yes, but write it? I can't. Just not into it.

I'm so pleased the transformation worked. This was quite fun although it took me awhile to figure out how to write a fear into erotic. That really baked my noodle, lol. I'm not the only one that had trouble with it. They had a ton of sign ups at erotic_elves for this fear challenge but very few stories or art came back and so she extended the deadline. The extension has passed and I'm not even sure she is going to post the Master List.
