Yeah, I think I tried to read that story once, and gave up shortly into it. It's not that I think that story can't be told, but it's not doing what I usually want when I read HP fic, so I put it down.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
What I'd love from Winter Soldier post canon is some Natasha-centric gen. Or low-key Steve/Natasha. She was my favourite thing in the film and there doesn't seem to be much fic about her. I was trolling AO3 for fic then gave up after getting lost in a sea of Steve/Bucky and Steve/Sam (which I totally see good bases for in the movie! It's just not my thing.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Amy, I have some things bookmarked as recs on AO3.
What mood are you looking for with it?
Amy - Jun 02, 2014 9:10:30 am PDT #8976 of 10434
Because books.
Angsty, angsty Bucky would be good. Even angsty Steve. Natasha taking care of things. Sex or not, doesn't matter.
I wouldn't mind some let's-work-off-our-stress Sam/Steve, either. Or Natasha/Steve, for that matter.

I have most of the above, probably. I can verify when I get home.

Cool beans. And many thanks!

Oh, I LOVE getting typo corrections on a 122,000-word story I posted three years ago.
NOT.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I LOVE getting typo corrections on a 122,000-word story I posted three years ago.
This is why I only correct one writer, and that was after asking her. I honestly would love to correct every error I see, because I don't see a downside other than the public forum (why no messaging, AO3?). Annie D is one of those writers who I feel bad if I can't comment either early or of substance on. I just love everything she's written (well, except that cockwarmer Cas--I wonder what the inspiration for that was).
Then again, I ask for critiques on most of my posted art and only one person gives them. Whoever she is, she's my favourite, and giving her permission to drabble on one series of pictures was a no brainer, even if she sucks, because I know how she feels about them.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Consuela, I'm leaving reviews on Carpetbaggers on FFN every few chapters or so. I don't expect separate replies for each one.

Oh, is that you, Windsparrow? Thanks so much, it's been really gratifying to see them come in!
I'm sorry I haven't replied yet, but I wanted to let you know I love to hear your thoughts.
You should know, too, that if you read it on the AO3, the formatting is better and you can download it in one file to put on an ereader. Should you, ahem, want to do that.
