Current Mood: lonely, oh so very lonely

(no subject)

*stares at the Harry Potter fandom* ....wow. That was, hands down, the fastest, most dissatisfying turn-around (burnout?) I have ever experienced. I thought... if I just stayed with the Sirius/Remus fic... maybe just the MPWW-era stuff... that I could... I mean... I just.... ....I'm going back to anime fandoms now and never, ever leaving again. *twitches* But anyway. Fleeting Fancies has been updated with all the recs posted up until now. (I've been updating a little here and there, but gotten lazy about marking my place.) Some cosmetic stuff, especially with Gundam SEED, but mostly just archiving everything.

Where did you go in search for HP fics? Most of the stuff at ffnet is crap. Check recs from people like

ntamara and fics by

rushlight75,

wikdsushi,

amanuensis1 [hardcore],

nufaciel and so on...

There are lots of archives like Fiction Alley, Potter Slash Archive and restrictedsection.org - PSA has some great stuff at least. Google should find them.

Mostly, I relied on fic recs or memories in LJ to navigate around or HP rec sites (I think I clicked on random ones from

recsrainbow a lot?) and it's not so much that the fic is crap, per se, a lot of it was well-written, it just... never hit the right notes for me and was ultimately very unsatisfying.

*sheepish grin* But I've been known to be a twit about things and it's probably just that what the rest of the fandom is interested in doesn't really suit my tastes. (I also pretty much read only Marauders-era stuff, Sirius/Remus, or the very, very occasional Snape/Lupin, I'm just... boring that way? *g*)

Oh... well, there's a FQF for Snape/Lupin, but can't remember for the life of me whee... and there's more than one for Sirius/Remus. Have you tried fics by Dawnatello or Luna? I haven't read them for a year or two, but when I did, I liked them... they are mostly Marauders era S/R.

Took me a while to find it - kept getting Turtles stuff - but here's Dawnatello's site:
http://www.behindthemasks.com/dawnatello/harrypotter/index2.html

I may calm down a bit on my frustration and hit up Azkaban's Lair after a few days, see if I can't find something I like there (though, I'm really pissy right now ^_~), but, ooh, I vaguely remember Dawnatello and Luna's writing and that I remember liking them the last time I took a tour through the fandom. Thanks for the pointer and the link! <3
