There's a distinct shortage of Harry/Parvati fic around - I know there's canon (which is all about the H/Par, obviously), but fics proper are kinda thin on the ground :-(

TTK was supposed to be Harry/Cho from the outset, but that didn't work (on the Hogwarts Express it was clear that they didn't really want anything to do with each other), so then it moved on to Harry/Parvati. But that didn't work, either, because of... well, events, dear reader, events.

So then we had some Harry/Cho for a while, before the fic curved back to destiny a Harry/Parvati subtext (TTK: more canon than canon itself™ :-P).

Y'know, I actually sketched out the sequel to TTK - it was going to be a Hogwarts: TNG fic, and completely, massively, insanely AU, since OotP came out just after I'd rushed the finish of TTK, and I decided that not only would hardly anybody be interested in reading about a fic set in 2012 - 2016, but that I wasn't prepared to invest that much time to write it, either (because it was going to be a lot of work). But I do still have some of the notes - student names and houses (and parentage). Staff names and subjects. Timetables for all seven years of students. Notes of when the full-moons will fall that far ahead...

But yeah, there's a definite shortage of quality Harry/Parvati fluff in fandom. Hmmm.... For me, the optimum ficable year is the fifth, which is why TTK and Hogsmeade in the Rain are both set then. Potions is sixth year, but I can't remember when Sword, Dance, Snow is set. Teh pr0n is set in sixth year, if memory serves, and I don't think I've written any other Harry/Parvati: Ronald Bilius Weasley, Elite of the Few is basically shipless (with R/Hr as subtext, because aside from multiple character death, I'm all about the canon).

So are people still interested in 5th year AU fic? I remember lizardlaugh's K2K theory, which was a work of art, and would love to somehow engineer a fic that made use of that...

Yay!

What's K2K, by the way?

Ah, somehow I had this memorized as Pawn to King, not Knight to King.

Like [personal profile] yvi, I'd avidly read any fic you write, and I'd encourage you to write some more :-)

In terms of general fanfic reading, I haven't gone in search of any for well over a year, though I do still read what friends of mine on LJ post, and I do still beta-read for one or two of them occasionally.

Y'know, it seems strange to me that I've actually written more Harry/Parvati than you: Taming The Lightning was the first little one, if you remember, then By Firelight, followed up by the first longer fic Triwizard Revisited. There was the 15-minute ficlet Tender and the Fic-A-Feast story The Food of Love. And then Laundry Day, when I finally had the courage to post it, and the short follow-up snippet to it. Not bad for a 'minor' pairing, I suppose.

You could always redress the balance...

Oh, that would be wonderful if you picked up a pen (er ... keyboard?) and wrote again. And working in the K2K theory would be fantastic!
