When choosing post-Hogwarts, pre-everything-goes-to-hell, I was partly thinking that everything goes to hell only at the end of OotP (or in post-OotP canon). My favourite period for writing short fic has actually first been the lost years, but there hasn’t been much to read about that era. (And my major era for writing huge fic is post-OotP – AU.)

I’m afraid one of my very favourite genres is hurt with just a little bit of comfort or hope. (Perhaps that’s why I stick to these characters and this pairing.) Another one is political themes and original additions to the magical word. A third one that surprised me: AU without magic – while I’ve never been very interested in undoing the hurt Remus and Sirius suffered in (pre-HBP) canon.

Above all, I’m thrilled to be reminded of what a wide variety of eras and genres there is in R/S that all have potential for fascinating fic.
