Snarry-a-thon '13 started last week. I wrote and submitted a short story for it. I'll probably write up a comment and self-critique about it after the reveals next month.

I'm a bit behind on reading everything already posted, but Golden Week is coming up. Maybe, in between chores, writing, drawing, sewing, studying, and exercising, I'll find some time to enjoy everyone else's work.

Because I submitted something, I've been feeling particularly anxious over others' reactions to it. As a result, I've been Googling my older stories and found this:

Best Hero/Heroine
First Place — Severus Snape in "Sweet Afton" by baby gray

I... well. "Sweet Afton" (DW, FF.net) won an award. That's pretty awesome. Thanks to whoever nominated the story and everyone who voted for it.

I guess the really depressing thing is that I didn't even know about this at all. I found out on Wednesday. Also, they miswrote my name. It's understandable (I guess), but that makes me a bit sad.

(People always miswrite my real name. Now my pen name is getting the same treatment...? *shakes head*)

This week: Working on the next chapter of "A Series of Events". I can't seem to bridge the events of the story with the canon events coming up, particularly the Bathroom Scene and the Detention afterwards. I might just gloss over it.

Also, been bitten by the crafts bug lately. I drew up drafts for a trio of comics and a pair of felt Russian nesting dolls. I'll be making the dolls in particular this weekend.

Nothing but Snape/Harry this week, I think. Even the nesting dolls. This Golden Week might just rival the Golden Week I went to Comic City and saw a Black Butler Musical in geekery....
