This is for fic writers who are in a slump over.. whatever. Maybe you need help connecting two particular scenes, or you just can't think of a good ending. Here you'll (hopefully) find help for all your literary woes.

Also-
If anyone needs someone to look over their stories (for editing purposes), say so!
I'd be more than willing to check for grammar, spelling, and word usage.

So. I've got a bit of a story line myself that I've been itching to get off the ground for ages. I keep going in circles, not really doing anything useful with the plot. I think the plot itself is fine, actually, but it's the actual writing that's bothering me.
Anyway, it's all built around that one chapter in OotP- "Snape's Worst Memory". I totally mulled those pages over to death, trying to make connections and theories. Eventually, my creative Self spoke up and said, "You can write, can't you?! Fill in the blanks yourself.."
And I did. Eventually it turned into a three-part monster of a plot which I cannot for the life of me begin to write for some reason.
Whatever. Basically, I walked backwards from that particular chapter, and must have lost track along the way, because it's gotten to be really rather complicated. But it still fits nicely with what Ms. Rowling wrote; It's refreshing, to have a fluffy backstory to look at.
It starts out in the Marauders era, with our good friend, eleven-year-old Severus Snape. He's a bit of a loner already, values his solitude very much, and is in love with books. It is this love that basically gets the ball rolling; He discovers the Room of Requirement, and spends as much time as he can in there.
Enter Remus Lupin. Literally.
He and Sev form an unlikely.. companionship (I don't really know what you'd call it); I had fic!Sev's character hate Muggles (even more than he does in the books) due to.. (oh, I'll just say it) his father (Ah! It fit into the story, him being half-blood; it explains alot of things for me (he could easily lie to Voldy, because he's so good at Occlumency)
There's very little else I can say about it without giving away a large chunk of the story, I'm sorry to say.
The middle part takes place during Harry's time at Hogwarts. Basically.. he's a mess. Ron and Hermoine are totally involved with each other (if you know what I mean), and Harry finds himself very much alone. All of a sudden, students' families start getting slaughtered, one by one, by the Death Eaters. Voldemort's alive and icking. Ron's father is killed. This is a bit of a turning point for Harry, because it marks the point in which Harry comes to realize just how isolated he is. Afterwards, actual students start dropping like flies, and Hogwarts has to be shut down. Arrangements are made for Harry to live with Lupin.
That's all I can say about that.
The third part (post war) ties very much into the first part, so I can't say anything about that, either.
I think this story is going to require alot of backtracking. Initially my mind was in the present, in Harry's time, but then, after the past had been all sorted out, the story jumped to the future.
Erm.. I guess this is a bit of a darkfic.. A character or two will die, and all that good stuff.
Yar.. I had to make the type smaller so it wouldn't take up an obnoxious amount of room. Sorry if it bothers you.
Now then! About my predicament. I guess it's not too bad.. it's just hard to connect the dots, if you know what I mean. I've never been very good at stringing important points together, making it seem like an actual story rather than a collection of situations. In any case, I understand if nobody can help, for that reason exactly.

Ooh! I just thought of a new story..
Aunt Petunia dies, so Harry must start spending his summers with Dumbledore.
.. And that's it! It sounded better in my head, though.. It seems kind of cute to me.. I just envision them going fishing together or something. Totally fluffy, really.
Anyway, it's up for grabs, if anyone wants it. I'm sure somebody can patch it up and build it into a real story. I haven't got time to write anymore...
[edit] Well, that's totally AU now.
I won't reveal anything about book 6, but let's just say.. the likelihood of something like that ever happening after Potter's 6th year is very slim indeed.
