A new fandom to add to the growing list and a fic pimp

[suki_blue]

I've been rather quiet lately and apart from being stricken with Multiple Exargeritis Sympathy-Requireous it has been because I've been immersed in a huge fic in a brand new fandom: Harry Potter. Yes, folks, amejisuto has corrupted me yet again and I've been reading a fantistic fic called Secrets by Vorabiza. It's Harry/Draco and it's set just after the sixth book, providing an ending which satisfies me greatly. It's my dream ending.

I was totally in to Harry Potter years ago, but sometime after The Goblet of Fire, the same time that I discovered Buffy and then Slash, I went off it. I've recently re-disovered it after reading the last two books and now I'm hooked.

So, any others fans on my flist?

Welcome to the Harry Potter fandom, weee!

Harry/Draco? Oh, you poor thing. We must remedy this. Ron/Draco is the way to go, Suki! They're the Romeo and Juliet of Harry Potter! And so much anger. Yum. It's like a teenager version of Sirius/Severus. (GUH) But Most of All, we must submerge you into the sexiness that is Severus Snape.

Here, I have recs! Because one must look beyond Harry/Draco (sorry, i look at them as the Spuffy of Harry Potter...oh, wait, nevermind, JKR turned Harry/Ginny into that.). But, recs:

Percy Weasley Recs (http://frk-werewolf.livejournal.com/287647.html) cuz percy is love, yo.
Neville Recs! (http://frk-werewolf.livejournal.com/216993.html) cuz Neville is adorable.
Remus/Severus (http://frk-werewolf.livejournal.com/215089.html)
Sirius/Severus (http://frk-werewolf.livejournal.com/213791.html)
a small # of random pairings (http://frk-werewolf.livejournal.com/200434.html)

AND AND AND! The funniest story EVER written!!! It's Ron/Draco, It's got PIE. (who doesn't love Pie?) And it has Blaise Zabini without a shirt. Good times. Of Lust and Pie (http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/skoosiepants/OLAP01a.html)
Another fic of crack!fic-ness: In Love (http://prillalar.com/fic/stories/000225.php). There are no words for this. It's Marcus Flint, in love. *dies*

Okay...I'm done spamming you with awesome Harry Potter-ness. :P This is what you get for announcing this sort of thing to Harry Potter fans. We're just a little schizo and obsessive.

P.S. Ron/Draco Archive (http://chocolatefrog.net/fire+ice/fire_and_ice_homepage.html) and Thematic Harry Potter Lists (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=painless_j&keyword=HP+fic+thematic+master+lists&filter=all) (it's even got a list for felching and breathplay. dude.)

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh yay!! Another fan! Wheeee!

Ron/Draco?!?!?! Goodness!! I'll give it a go!

Because one must look beyond Harry/Draco (sorry, i look at them as the Spuffy of Harry Potter

LOL! I'm reading Spuffy? Well I never! BWAH!

Wow, thanks for ALL the recs! Now there's some fic to be getting along with!

I really adore Snape, but I can't work out in what form I like him best. I can't help but love him as a sort of father to Harry because that is damn cute and damn funny, and I'm quite attracted to the possibility of Snape/Sirius.

Here's a question I've been bursting to ask someone. Do you picture Sirius as he is in the films or do you have a different vision of him? I picture all the characters as they are in films (generally), but not him. I wondered if I was the only one.

Thanks again, luv! I'm so happy I've got another person to squee with!!

[blue-icy-rose.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I love Secrets. It's a favorite of mine. (Well, then again, I just like Vorabiza's fics in general. LOL.)

*sigh* I kind of miss Harry/Draco. *makes notes to reread fics*

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Isn't it great?! I've only just discovered her so I'm going to work my way through her stuff.

I take it you don't read too much Harry/Draco now?

[wickedchocolate.livejournal.com]

*coughs*
Hello my name is wickedchocolate and lately I am addicted to HP fic.
The last HP fic I read was 12 hours ago.
I tried to be hard but I failed and I would do it again.
;-)
Yes, I confess that I am also hooked up now on HP stories.
As the actors and the characters have grown up and are now older, I finally be able to read it.
I like Harry and Draco stories and I have a soft spot for Severus Snape (I like the actor).
Found some good stuff out there which I shared and evil bunnies of the HP kind are haunting me now.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Cool!! YAY!!!!

Yes, I've certainly found that now the actors are older the fanfic is much more apealing. I love fandoms which are rich in plot and adventure and suddenly HP is really doing it for me.

I have a big soft spot for Snape. He's such a big cuddly grrr bear! Hee!

Release the bunnies!!

[hull1984.livejournal.com]

No, no, no! Right fandom WRONG pairing!!

I'm totally with frk_werewolf on this - Ron/Draco is the only way to go! And you must read frk_werewolf's own R/D fics 'cos they're awesome - and 'Pie' - she's so right about the 'Pie'! - it's by skoosiepants!! What's not to like!

Actually the HP fandom is the only other one I frequent and R/D is the first fic I wrote.

It's so cool that you've rediscovered the Potter love but please you must turn from the dark side..back away from the H/D...back away *shudders*

[frk-werewolf.livejournal.com]

And you must read frk_werewolf's own R/D fics 'cos they're awesome.
Aww. *blush*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

I'll send literati over when she gets online so she can rec a few of her favourite H/D fics. And a few of her other smaller pairings too, though she swears she'd being loyal to H/D now. *g*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

*head desk* Should used my custom-made Drarry icon, shouldn't I? *points up*

[marie2love.livejournal.com]

Jeconais has some wonderful and well written HP fics. No slash but great for a person new to the fandom. Go to www.fanficauthors.net and see all the goodness. Plus the other authors are good too.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you very much!! Yay! ~hugs~

[emmalea-jade.livejournal.com]

I used to read harry Potter fic all the time, but eventually got tired wading through the 50 bad fics to get to the one good one. Now I mostly read storys recd by others. I let them search out the good ones.

Harry/Draco is one of my fav pairings.
I often have one character I love slashed with any other male.
Harry/m
Xander/m
Blair/m
Rodney/m ect..

I even remember a Harry/Dudley fic I read years ago that was pretty good in a painful sort of way.

So, happy Harry reading. I'm right there with ya.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Now I mostly read storys recd by others. I let them search out the good ones.

Hee! Good plan! I'm going to take note of all the really good ones I find as I go along and I shall be putting them in big rec list like I've done with Spander and McShep.

I often have one character I love slashed with any other male.

I'm the same!

Xander/m
Rodney/m
And probably now Draco/m.

Yay!!!!

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

Hee! Happy to have corrupted you love!

[noneeca.livejournal.com]

LOVE the icon, sweets. and since when are you HP?! if i'd known that i... well. i would have done something. *grins* way to enable.

oh hells yeah!

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

Do you have a month or so?

One ofthe best series I have EVER read in ANY fandom was in HP. The author took some of the common cliches (which actually kept me from reading it for months because of that fact) and reworked them into a story that rises above the canon in a fantastic adn almost unbelievable way.

Lightning Wave's "Sacrifice's Arc": http://archive.skyehawke.com/authors.php?no=1324

She takes the cliches we all have grown to be annoyed with and makes them work like none other. And she goes where Rowling doesn't - this is a WAR. Battles, guerilla tactics, torture, death - it has it all. And some of the best plot and characterization found anywhere.

It's HUUUUUUGE as well - all seven books rewritten.

And the cliches are: Slytherin Harry, Harry/Draco, superpowered Harry, Snape as mentor/father, Harry has a brother who is the Boy Who Lived, his parents are alive and maipulative!Dumbledore. It works.

I love it.

Re: oh hells yeah!

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Wow, that actually sounds great! I haven't read enough HP to spot the cliches yet, so I'm happy to discover them all. I'm very excited about it!

It's HUUUUUUGE as well - all seven books rewritten.

My mouth is actually watering at the thought. And my laptop is actually overheating at the thought. Hee! I'll definitely check it out. Thanks so much!!

[screamplease.livejournal.com]

okay i admit it...i'm a total spaz for harry/draco. have been for a long time. i think it's the brunette/blonde boy on boy thing lol. if you ever want a couple of sites to check out just let me know seeing as i have a few good sites saved in my favs. course you've probably already found them all lol.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Yay!! Great!!

i think it's the brunette/blonde boy on boy thing lol.

LOL! Yep, same here. It's an irresistable combination. Oh yes.

if you ever want a couple of sites to check out just let me know seeing as i have a few good sites saved in my favs. course you've probably already found them all lol.

Oh feel free to link me up. I've found a few and Ame has given me lots of recs and links, like HP Fandom and the Hex Files, but I'm sure there's probably loads more out there!

[greenheart8.livejournal.com]

HP off-and-on, right now I am on. Rec'ed is the best way to go becuase there is some seriously sad stuff out there. My own rec's (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=greenheart8&keyword=Fic:+Harry+Potter&filter=all) and others rec pages (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?keyword=Other%3A+Rec+Pages&user=greenheart8&sortby=des) can be found on my LJ.
Glad to see that you have been corrupted as well :)

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what I'd do without recs. There is just so much out there!!

Thank you for the links and I've bookmarked them for some serious rummaging. :OD

Glad you have been corrupted.

[noneeca.livejournal.com]

heeeeey, welcome to the dark side darlin'. or is that welcome back? i've been in HP now for, god, seems like forever. HP and BtVS vie for most-read, and i've got fave authors and stories in both. i'm glad you liked Vorabiza's Secrets - all her stuff is goodness... in fact i think i might wander over and reread one of her shorter ones! *grins* see, you're already enabling.
just don't abandon BtVS please! you're still wanted here!
xoxox

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, I guess it's welcome back to the books but just welcome for the fanfic. :oD

I just adored Secrets. It was a perfect fic to start with, long and plotty, my fav kind of fic. I'm enabling!! YAY!!

Oh, I won't abandon!! NEVER! I've been totally into McShep for months and months and months now and I'm still going strong in the Buffy fandom.

MWAH!

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Check my memories under harry potter recs for fic recs, and I've written a few piece myself in my mems under Lunabee34's one shot hp fics.

Welcome to the madness!

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh yay, thanks, honey!!! I shall go have a nose about.

~squishes you~

[trekgirl55.livejournal.com]

Dude! I loves me some Harry Potter! I have had the final book reserved for ages and I can't wait for the new movie. Oh and I am going to check out that fic. :)

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooooooooh, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Whoops, I got all excited :oD

I reserved the book a few weeks back and I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm scared as hell, though, about what will happen with Snape and Draco. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Definitely check the fic out. It's really good.

And you icon!! BWAH!!!!

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

Oh! You might want to change that hyperlink since HPFandom is down for a week or so. I had to switch to reading it on TSS.

http://www.thesilversnitch.net/fic/viewstory.php?sid=13756&warning=Death%20Sentence%20-%20NC-17

There ya go love!

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Oooh, thanks, hon. I hadn't thought of that. Doh! Why does it have to be down now?!?!? WAAAAAAAAAAAH! I need it!!!

[tyrical.livejournal.com]

I'm a closet HP fan!

I read it on and off.

My OTP - Snape/Harry
My Guilty Pleasure OTP - Ron/Draco

Ink Stained Fingers - requires a password but totally worth it as an archive. Just plug in pairings and go!

There you can find my fave DM/RW Series Beg Me For It by Icarus totally sold me on the pairing.

Also my fave authors for Snarry at Ink Stained - Aucta Sinistra, Amethyst Lupin, and DementorDelta.

Cybele (http://swish-n-flick.netfirms.com/toc.htm) her fiction found on her own site. Quill and Ink is an awesome Snarry that has yet to be duplicated in my eyes.

As for DM/HP my favorite DM/HP story to this date has been written by SaborShadowKat, Draco Malfoy and The Heart of a Slytherin (http://www.sabershadowkat.com/harrypotter/homework.html) Yeah this is the one for me. I read it 'bout 7 maybe 9 years ago and I still thinks its one of the best DM/HP's ever written.

All in my humble opinion of course! Enjoy. Careful with Ink Stained it will suck you in. As a bonus kardasi.com also a password protected site but the Snarry fics there are also worth it!

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Ooh, thank you for the links, hon!!

I had a feeling that a lot of people were into Snape/Harry, but I'm surprised by the Ron/Draco following. There seems to be many of you! I'll definitely have to see what I'm missing :oD

Thanks, again. That's lots to be getting on with. ~huggles~

[allyndra.livejournal.com]

Me too! Me too! *waves hand in the air embarrassingly like a grownup, American Hermione* I know that it's not a cool thing to admit (and how wierd is it that there is clique-ishness in fandom?), but I love Harry/Draco. The good boy/bad boy vibe is yummy, plus there's plenty of antagonism for your friendly neighborhood slashers to turn into UST. And the physical contrast is one I like. I have a pattern: Spike/Xander, Harry/Draco, Clark/Lex. All good/bad, light/dark. (McKay/Sheppard doesn't fit, but I can't seem to resist them)

The only drawback I see to Harry/Draco is the tragic amount of really bad Harry/Draco being written. You know, the OOC, schmoop-tastic stories wherein the boys declare their undying love in the Great Hall and get engaged at the leaving ball, right after Harry handily kills Voldemort? Yeah, lots of those. *sighs* Still, love the pairing, and there are some good fics out there.

Yay for your re-discovery of Potter! And now I shall go read the story you mentioned.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Yay!! Cool! So that's three pairings we have in common!

I love the contrasts too. Light and dark, bad and good: Spike/Xander, Harry/Draco. As you say, McShep doesn't fit that, so goodness knows why we love them so much (must be because they are so adorkable).

I've noticed that 'shipping Harry/Draco seems to be a little uncool. Do you think that's because of the bad fics? I find it very odd that an actual pairing is considered sort of cliched.

The only drawback I see to Harry/Draco is the tragic amount of really bad Harry/Draco being written.

I'll definitely do my best to steer clear! I've been so spoiled in the SGA fandom it's going to be weird having to sort through lots of bad stuff.

I also see it as a challenge ~g~

[literati.livejournal.com]

So, any others fans on my flist?

YES! But you already knew that. :D

I won't try and sell you H/D, because I believe you found their awesomeness by yourself.. and amejisuto. :D

Um, I've read almost 3000 fics so if I were to rec everything I loved, we'd be here awhile. I pretty much recommend anything by furiosity. Especially: Welcome to Wherever you are (http://community.livejournal.com/slashfest/65585.html), The Revenant (http://community.livejournal.com/slashfest/68429.html) and The Way to Thomason Foss (http://furiosity.livejournal.com/329207.html). Look, seriously just go to her journal for the rest. I could list them all. :P

I fell for them back in 2001, but only became involved in fandom after HBP was released. I started here: The Classics (http://adela711.livejournal.com/20757.html).

As for the 'Spuffy' comment, I'd have to disagree. H/D is more like Spander, because 'you know they're doin' it.' ::g::

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

You were actually one of the only ones I could think of that was into it! I'm totally flabbergasted that so many others have put their hands up. Closet fans!

I'm definitely already sold. I'm very, very smitten indeed. ~squishes them~

Thanks for the recs and the recs list. My goodness, there's LOADS to read. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!

As for the 'Spuffy' comment, I'd have to disagree. H/D is more like Spander, because 'you know they're doin' it.' ::g::

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Now that is what I wanted to hear! That so needs to go on an H/D icon. ~pokes~ Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Me cute? D'auw! ~blush~

Thanks again, hon!!! ~squishes you too~

[kitty-poker1.livejournal.com]

Hope you're feeling tons better now, hon! Multiple Exageritis Sympathy-Requireous syndrome is just the worst. Heeee!

I'm gonna get sucked into this, aren't I? I can see the signs gathering. *g* Like you, I wasn't interested in reading about kids but now the actors are grown up, the fandom seems a hell of a lot more attractive. And Drarry so is Spandery! Yay!

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

I'm much better! The Multiple Exageritis Sympathy-Requireous syndrome mutated into Illous Patheticous Hot Tea Requious. Nasty, it was.

I think you are!! Ha ha!! There are definitely lots more people seeing the light now that they are older. The actors themselves are just about into their twenties and a lot of the fic is based on the last two books and I've spotted lots of future fic, too.

I see a lot of similarities between Drarry and Spander. A lot of it is attitude and looks and some of it is about the level passion the pairing seems to have, the love and commitment. It's so good!

*waves*

[lishel_fracrium.livejournal.com]

ME ME ME! lol which pairing?

Re: *waves*

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

LOL! I am totally head-over-heels for Harry/Draco. How about you?

[tonicat.livejournal.com]

Damn you..
I haven't been able to stop reading D/H since you've posted this..
I Love It!
*Smooches you so hard*

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!! I've corrupted!! It really hooks you, doesn't it?
