kelly_chamblissIn the past couple of years, I've "won" some items (art and fic) in various fandom charity auctions. I put "won" in quotation marks because to date, I have never actually received any of these items, except for a few preliminary sketches.
By this time, I've accepted the fact that the things I won are not going to be forthcoming. And that's okay, because the money went to good causes, and I would have donated anyway, and I did get some nice sketches, and there's not much I can do about it in any case.

She's written me 2500 words of exactly the sort of Snape/McGonagall I love best: understated, intelligent, taut, full of competition and angst and sex and unsentimental tenderness and exquisite language. Both McG and Snape are characterized to perfection.
Don't miss In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning.
("Pot/Kettle/Black" Department of Full Disclosure -- Of course, I've owed an auction fic for months now, and my generous bidder [you know who you are] has been unendingly patient. It's coming along, my dear! Nearly there.)
