Um... well, I cheated a bit. I had a lot of back-burner post-DH George snippets sitting around, and an overarching plotline for a story, but had pretty much decided I wasn't ever going to put it together, and thought I would just post the snippets on their own. I did post three of them, under the title "Oblivion." Then I got busy with other fests and characters and pretty much forgot about the snippets & plot for a couple of years.

Then I signed up for hpgeorgecentric, got my assignment, and started to work on it, and got nowhere pretty damn fast; the wishlist just wasn't jumpstarting any ideas.

So I'm cleaning up old files one day and I see my snippets. I skim over them, and suddenly realize what I'd started to write fit my giftee's wishlist pretty well. So I started filling stuff in, taking out stuff that wasn't on the wishlist and adding stuff that was, and 80,000 words later, finally finished. I can't remember how much I already had written before I began, but I'd say maybe 10-20K? I dropped a lot of it, but I think that's what I started with.

Still took waaaaaay too long to write. The mods were awesome, though. And now I have no more post-DH on the back-burner! And only three years after the book was released!
