The whooshing noise is me being sucked into another fandom. Harry Potter. Why, yes I finally read Lust over Pendle. My God that's fucking Brilliant! I stayed up all damn night last night reading it and I have to read it again because I got a bit confused about the end. The characters were perfect, Draco/Neville---damn, well written, completely believable as a couple. The families were a riot. The Wizard and Muggle worlds were well done, especially the intersection. I'm not going to say too much becuase I don't want to give anything away.
I don't usually read fanfiction based on books, okay I've read one (is there only one) Good Omens fanfiction and then this one Harry Potter. Lust over Pendle really felt like it could be an actual book in the series.
So yes, going to have to find someone to gush about this with.
Also I'm over at Polyamarous Recommendations looking for HP recs. If PolyRecs isn't in your Favorites it should be!
My Work Here Is Done....
Check out Shalott and Draco Malfoy The Amazing Bouncing Rat and Liz Barr's fic

Is it not awesome? Is AJ Hall not a genius? I'm convinced that it's either a pseudonym for a published author, or she's an editor or something. The woman is THAT GOOD. And if she ever writes original fiction, I will so be buying it. Of course, she may already. I've heard rumours that qauite a few authors and screenwriters have written fanfic, but are very careful to protect their offline identities, because while production companies probably aren't going to bother suing anonymous internet crazies, they might sue somebody who has an offline profile.
WHere was I? Ah yes, LOP. AJ Hall says she has a prequel coming out September-ish,w hich should fill in some of hte gaps, like how Neville and Draco got together, how they wound up as partners after Draco and Narcissa switched sides, how the allies got Neville out of Azkaban that one time, how Snape managed to be a double agent all through Recent Events and not get killed, how they wound up on that Indian Ocean hideaway, that kind of thing. Can't wait for it, personally. IN the meantime, why not join the insanity and help us cast the imaginary LOP movie?
There's a dearth of good HP fic, alas. Polyamorous Recs and Te's recs page have a few good ones. Draco Malfoy the Amazing Bouncing Rat is a funny one, although I wouldn't call it great literature. Another good one is Torch's Spirit of Brotherhood, for which I will post a link as soon as I find it.

Also, just finished reading a lovely series, Harry/Snape...nothing explicit, very well done. Which I thought "oh, I don't know" but I dipped my toe in and it's Telanu's (http://remembrall.slashcity.net/~telanu/harrypotterslash.htm) Tea Series. Do read it.
