FIC: "Flying Dutchman" (Wilhelmina/Aberforth)

Here's my October entry for daily_deviant. It hasn't exactly taken the comm by storm (in terms of response, anyway), but it was a lot of fun to write. (Thank you, Feather and Teddy!)

Title: Flying Dutchman
Author: kellychambliss
Pairing: Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank/Aberforth Dumbledore
Rating: NC-17-ish
Kinks/Themes Chosen: Capnolagnia: arousal from watching others smoke
Other Warnings: none
Word Count: 1700
Summary: Nothing both soothes and arouses Aberforth like a whiff of Wilhelmina's pipe smoke.
Author's Notes: I have such a smoking-in-fanfic kink, you can't imagine. So I was really pleased to see this month's theme. And it was perfect for another favorite of mine, the pipe-smoking Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank. In my head-canon, Wilhelmina is a dyke, but sometimes she makes an exception for Aberforth.

Flying Dutchman is a real pipe tobacco, and it always makes me (and apparently Aberforth) think of the famous legend.

"State of My HP Fandom" Address

I had intended to make this post on October 12, which is the fourth anniversary of my entry into the HP fandom. But various RL things came up, and lo, here it is October 18, and I haven't said "happy anniversary" to myself.

So I'll do it now -- Here's to four years plus six days as an HP obsessive!

In truth, though, the obsession has been gradually waning for over a year now. During 2009 and 2010, HP loomed so large for me: I read, I wrote, I recced, I commented, I followed fests and shamelessly fangirled and squeed. I still do those things, but not with the same urgency. Still, I'm not on my way out the door yet. I think I've still got some HP stories left in me; I can still get all excited about a fantastic fic, I'm still joining new comms. (hp_3somes? Why, yes, I think I will, thank you. Not that there's much chance of seeing older-character fics here, but then again, one never knows.)

Plus, I have made dear friends who I trust will be with me long after we've all stopped writing about Minerva or Severus or Wilhelmina and have moved, as Albus so perceptively says. . . on.

So, yeah. . .HP fandom has changed in four years, of course, and my relationship to it has changed, but I'm still here. And not going anywhere anytime soon. (*panics suddenly* And I'm begging you all not to leave, either. I'm not done with HP yet! Don't you dare go!)

What have I been up to, HP-wise? Glad you asked. I've put everything under cuts, since there's a lot.

First, I need to be preparing for my sabbatical next semester, so of course I have been procrastinating like mad. . .by writing fic. Normally, I procrastinate in order to avoid writing fic. But now that professional writing LOOMS, suddenly "But I have a fic deadline!" becomes the perfect excuse.

So all in all, things are pretty damned good in my corner of the HP-verse!
