Maybe you should! It's fun to do - basically, it's "researching" your own character, and the nice thing is that sometimes you come across elements you had totally forgotten about :-D. They're not always things to be proud of, but... Personally I'd love to read your 'behind the scenes' - I'm curious about people's writing habits. And I used to read a lot of Holmes, so maybe I ought to give Holmes fanfic a try too.
It is also great to see someone invent an ofc that is friend of Snape and not just instant lover. Well, the 'bad' thing (if it is bad) is that although I was initially determined to have nothing physical in their story at all, it ended up being there anyway. It seemed like a natural development, as if Snape and Brynhild decided it was simply the next stage to accompany their intellectual intimacy.
I must sound like a raving lunatic, always talking about the characters as if they are autonomous :-). It seems like I'll have to stand up and shout, "You, Snape! And you too, Brynhild! Obey me! I am the author!" LOL...
