I've finally got around to posting my [livejournal.com profile] sshg_giftfest story, The Librarian, at both AO3 and FF.net. and will likely post to a couple of other archives soon.

I'm just wondering if anyone else is having issues with ff.net's review response system (which doesn't let you repy in the reviews online, but links you to send the commentor an email message). I keep getting emails with new reviews, but when I try to click on the review response link it goes to a page that says 'we cannot find the review you are replying to'. And on the site if I click on the reviews it says I have x-number of reviews but it only shows the first eight reviews, which are from the first two days I posted. The rest of the reviews that I received email notifcation of aren't there. I know it must be something wonky with ff.net but is it doing this to everyone or just at random? Weird.

RL UPDATE:

In other news, a brief real life update. Had a lovely family holiday celebration at our youngest daughters house in Manistee, with all four kids and their families the weekend before Christmas. Grandkids were cuddled, gifts were exchanged, games were played, much food was enjoyed and a good time was had by all. The biggest surprise gift was from oldest daughter: she and hubby gave us a card, after we read it there was a flap taped on that said open this for surprise (which I thought was a gift card...hey it was about that size) but it was much better, because under it was an ultrasound picture. Yup! Grandchild #5 is on the way, due in mid July. This will be #2 for that daughter...our family is growing.

Then hubby and I had a quiet Christmas day the next week with just the two of us. One son came out for gifts and dinner. (he is the only who is single and he still lives nearby).

New Years Eve and day were also quiet time as well which is fine with us, we aren't really big partiers. Movies and reading for me and football games for hubby.

Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season and are looking forward to the coming year!

And I can now admit to writing The Librarian, for [livejournal.com profile] sabrebabe.  I decided to do a combination of two of her prompts, (prompt #3) Post War, Severus' books have seen much better days. Hermione needs a job that won't drive her crazy. Severus has old books and manuscripts that need TLC, binding, mending, and cataloguing. Perhaps Lucius's library has fallen on hard times, and needs a new home?
I also added something of prompt #2-Post War, Hermione has gone into seclusion and has taken up creating Magical Artifacts anonymously. Highly sought after and very expensive, the unknown artist has a long waiting list of offers. A Former not-quite-as-dead-as-they-thought Professor has been looking for the mysterious Craftsman (probably at Lucius' insistence). Why, and what happens next?

I'd also like to acknowledge and thank my lovely beta reader: [livejournal.com profile] delphipsmith, and alpha reader: [livejournal.com profile] morethansirius for all of their help and encouragement. Without their input this story would not have been possible. Thanks again ladies, you're both awesome!

Rating: (eventually) NC-17
Word Count: 42,170
Content: Romance, friendship, smut,
Disclaimer: All recognizable characters belong to JK Rowling and associates. No copyright infringement intended.
Summary: Severus needs someone to help him organize an inheritance, Dumbledore's private library. A tip leads him to a mysterious woman known only as the Librarian.
Author's Note: Unending thanks go to 'D' by lovely beta, and 'T' my alpha reader, two wonderful ladies who go above and beyond. Many thanks to sabrebabe for the awesome prompts. The story is a combination of two of your prompts, I hope I did them justice.
As usual the story sort of got away from me—I'm practically incapable of writing a one-shot. Also the locations in Orkney that I used for part of the story are real and I became quite fascinated by them while doing my research.
