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!!

Snape is awesome. If you like Snape as a father to Harry, then you'll love some of the AU fics out there that have him actually be Harry's father. The best two are Blood Magic (http://www.schnoogle.com/authorLinks/GatewayGirl/Blood_Magic/) (oh, god, so long but so awesome. it has harry/hermione -ew- but the relationship is shows developing between harry and snape is utterly AMAZING) and Mine (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1963825/1/) along with it's sequels (snape rescues Harry from the Dursleys when he's five and harry calls him Daddy and Snape is very, very possessive. it's SO CUTE!!!!)

Ah, Sirius. No, I don't picture him as Gary Oldman. Actually, I picture him as a slightly older version of this guy (http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/4814/Events/4814/KevinZeger_Vespa_8728093_400.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=Zegers,%20Kevin). I don't picture Remus as David Thewlis, either, though I do love David as an actor. Actually, and this is funny, Ralph Fiennes was always my Remus Lupin, and then he goes and plays the part of Voldemort XD. I do picture Alan Rickman as Snape, though, but a picture his younger self. After all, these guys are only in their mid-thirties.

Hee! I'm happy to be here to squee with you. *bounce*

[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*

*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.

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*

[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.

[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.

[frk-werewolf.livejournal.com]

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

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

Hee! Happy to have corrupted you love!

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.

[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.

[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 :)

[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

[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.

[noneeca.livejournal.com]

thought i'd put my two cents in. i totally agree about the Gary Oldman thing - your pic is so what my version of Sirius would be Marauder Era. funny about the David Thewlis thing - i heard before they started filming that Peter Wingfield was offered the role... and ever since he's been my Remus. :)

[frk-werewolf.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that guy is a total Marauders-Era!Sirius, which is why I just age him for everything else. lol. I was watching Wrong Turn and that guy was in it, smoking weed, and I yelled out in the movie theater "OMG, it's SIRIUS BLACK!"

One thing I noticed is common with people picking actors for Remus, is that it's almost someone with a distinguished and regal looking nose. I find this rather amusing. :P

[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!

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's by nyi. I love the quote icons by wicked_visions too but that's because I'm a sarcastic little hussy! HEE!

Umm, I've been reading since...September? Yep, about that. I have a love for HP/SS and HP/TR. I'm evol that way.

[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. :)

[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.

There ya go love!

[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!

[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.
