In which I post a list of fic I love
Feb. 22nd, 2022 05:41 pm Terribly outdated at the moment, but I am working on it.
( List of fic that are more than worth reading. )
You guyyys.. yesterday my Glompfest fic was posted and it's the most shiniest thing ever. I'm still getting all excited writing about it a day (and two reads) later. The author, wo decided to stay anonymous (why, oh why?) took my prompt and turned it into a fic that's so much more than I ever expected.
Summary: A decade after the war, wizarding Britain has learned how to cleanse its citizens of Dark magic. The process, Taming, erases violence, viciousness, hatred, and according to Draco Malfoy, a person’s soul. In order to save his friends, Draco must prove that Taming might, in fact, be the cruelest magic ever conceived. The only problem is... he needs to convince Harry Potter first.
This fic, set in a dytopian, but not too dark setting, is an amazing example of good intentions gone wrong. It has all I asked for - H/D, plot!, UST, kissing against walls, a little angst, hot sex - and then some. A lot of it. The wonderfully creepy concept of the Taming, lots of raw emotions, that never cross the line to being unbearable, a Neville, who is in a different way, but never less awesome than in canon - I could go on like this for a while.
Go and read it. Seriously. And I'm not saying this because the fic was written for me, but because it was, I'll repeat: GO AND READ IT. NOW. :D You won't be disappointed. And I might have to start a rec-list for dystopian fics...
* Oooh, why won't I be allowed to stalk the author. *wails*

Mhmm, sweet.
Jul. 12th, 2011 09:16 pmThanks tabitha666 & nursedarry & faithwood & kitty_fic for the chocolate heads. ♥ ♥ ♥ *nomnomnom*
And, if I got that correctly, thanks LJ for the free paid time. :D
ETA. Not sure if one chocolate userhead equals two month of paid time, but just in case I spent the last minutes sending them to everyone on my flist. Hope I didn't miss anyone and you really get more paid time. :D
ETA the 2nd Thanks toemmagrant01 , melusinahp , alisanne , jtsbbsps_dk , skriftlig & sassy_cissa . ♥

Jul. 5th, 2011 09:36 pmHoly fuck. This might be the sexiest thing I've seen in fandom in a while. It's completely work safe , comes with a G rating and still my mind goes all unghnnnghhhaaawantnaoplz. Jep, I have a total thing for dramatic and fierce entrances. *goes back to drool stare some more*
Surprise, surprise
May. 12th, 2011 02:33 amNow I want to read the books. Also, I might want to read fic.
I'm totally blaming my flist..
May. 10th, 2011 03:36 pm.. and, for that matter, melusinahp's: I just watched the first episode of Game of Thrones. And I'm going to watch the second one right now. Hooked? Why would you think that? xD Good thing I didn't have anything planned this afternoon.

May. 7th, 2011 06:12 pmI was wondering..
1.
Do you somehow keep track of the fic you've been reading?
Do you use bookmarks or a service like delicious or do you save them on your harddrive?
I keep a list of the books I've read and would like to do the same for fic. So far delicious seemd to be the right place, but as it's now being sold after all, I'm on the lookout for alternatives. And in general I'd be interested to know whether you keep track at all.
2.
Where do you find new fics to read? Or rather: do you go actively looking for new stuff? Do you rely on known authors/fests/reccers?
I realized that the pool of writers I read from is pretty small and that I very, very rarely go looking for new stuff and mostly rely on the recs of certain people. What about you? And if you are like me, who do read/rely on for recs?
Pimp it, baby!
May. 4th, 2011 03:01 pmWhat? No, I'm not pimping this just to have this incredibly hot picture in my journal. Well, at least not entirely. .. Oh, shut up and go and check out H/D Support and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Apr. 25th, 2011 03:23 pmDear internet connection,
please stop acting up and behaving bitchy. Otherwise I must kick you. Hard.
Sincereley, Arianna.
To give my internet connection a little time out to behave properly again, I'll be now off to my sweet little balcony, where I'll try to catch some afternoon sun, drink a huge glass of iced coffee and listen toraitala reading h/d to me. Yeah, life could be worse.

(Ps. Go and check out Slytherin-Heiress' other fanart on deviantArt. It's really worth a look.)
I just cried. I just cried because of a fic. I don't usually cry much, and even less over films, books or fic. But sometimes you stumble across a piece that grabs you and won't release you even after you finished. A piece so perfect, from the characterisation to the littelest details, that it is able to make you cry. To make me cry. And to make me giggle, and laugh, and groan, and bite my nails and sometimes all of it at the same time.
Yes, I am looking in your direction,![[info]](https://files.livejournal.com/userhead/332)
bryoneybrynn. I just finished Holly and Hawthorn, Thistle and Thyme and it was perfect.
It is much to late (or early) where I live, so I'm stopping here, but let me close by saying: Thank you for writing this wonderful story.
To everyone else: If you haven't read it yet, please go and do so.
