If anyone's looking for a really good after-the-books-end Neville fic, I can recommend The Colors of Fire by Sher over at Checkmated. She just finished it, and it's one of the best not-starring-Harry HP fics I've read.
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thank you Kathy. I love Neville, and long drawn out romances, which this is shaping up to be (I am on chapter 4).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
OTW's launched the beta of their fannish history wiki, Fanlore.
t goes back to trying not to spend entire day on Fanlore

And now OTW has opened the Archive of Our Own for browsing and beta. You can't create an account yet, but you can go in and look around and offer feedback (as long as you're using Firefox). Browser compatibility is one of the last things they'll work on.
It's so PRETTY.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Which reminds me, my very first rec to something on the OTW Archive: [link]
OTW fandom. No, really. And hilarious in its meta-ness.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That is a wonderful story. Full of conflict and cooperation, pretty things and people and pictures, and buckets o' fun.
Plus? I like when I can make out the narrative from the pictures. That was never my strong suit in preschool (I didn't mean that in a catty way, I'm serious. I'm much more text than picture oriented. 'S why I can't grok graphic novels and comics).

So.... how do stories get archived there?
(There's probably a link someone can give me, rather than explaining, because I'm sure I'm the last person to know...)

Right now, it's only open for browsing/searching/reading/commenting. But as soon as it's a little better tested, they'll open up for new accounts, and I'm sure a number of us will be babbling about it here and elsewhere the minute that happens.

I know! I realized as soon as I saw the announcement that I've been a big fangirl for the whole enterprise, and the wiki, and the journal, and all the organization going on because by god we can roll our own, but the archive is what started it and the center of the whole thing. I may have gotten a little allergic.
