It was a happy thing to learn that Basingstoke, Shallott, and Miriam Heddy were writing House.
Make sure to check out elynross too. She had a story posted in her LJ that didn't make the last update. (Next one, I swear.) And Kass.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

...so I finally thought maybe I ought to slap more of my HP fanfic up at Fiction Alley, because afaik that's sort of the HP fandom equivalent of the bfa. Right?
Gah.
Oh the one hand, yay for feedback. I mean, that's why I bothered moving them, after all. Feedback is good. But, otoh, I am a terrible, terrible snob. I forget how much of a snob I am, what with the whole not-going-to-ffnet thing. But, yeah. Snob, as it turns out. And once again realising that even though I like the books, and have opinions about them, and have written the fic, and will probably write more of the fic...I don't know that I consider myself part of HP fandom.
I find myself having a sudden surge of sympathy for Robin Hobb and the other writers who just don't grok fanfic, 'cause as a writer, there are times when it's difficult to muster gratitude for the positive feedback, if the feedback seems to come from someone who's a few knuts short of a sickle. Or, you know, twelve years old.
...I mean, HP fandom apparently calls Hermione/Harry 'HMS Pumpkin Pie'. Not even a portmanteau*. A cute nom de guerre reflecting the fact that the twee little fuckers who are shipping these characters are AMERICAN. Because Harry and Hermione? Have never eaten Pumpkin Pie. You twats.
Call it HMS Spotted Dick, if you want a nice, wholesome, sweet, stodgy, comfort food dessert.
Heh.
...
...

In breaking news: I am Professor Snape. But with more shampoo and stronger expletives. Get those horrible children OFF MY LAWN!
*okay, I lie. Apparently there are Harry/Hermione shippers who call their ship Harmony. Which is marginally less irritating than the frakking Pumpkin Pie thing. But mostly because I associate it with a disarming and ditzy blonde who eats people and likes shopping.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Maybe their ship can go and get itself vamped at the end of s3? Or not. Anyway, well ranted.

Thank you, Fay, for bringing my inner 12 year old to the fore on this otherwise tedious Monday afternoon. Hee.

Um, why? I do not get this.

Always Anti-fascist!
I can sort of see why they would ship them...I have thought that, at different times reading the books,although I have heard Rowling say that was not intended. Got nothing to say about the odd pie thing, though.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I can understand the impulse to ship them, and have read some H/Hr that I really enjoyed. But it's one thing to think they'd make a good couple and enjoy stories that pair them while acknowledging you're taking the story in a non-canonical direction. It's entirely another to go completely crazy when it becomes 100% obvious the canon isn't going to agree with you. Since it was only 99% obvious in the previous five books. t rolls eyes forever
