Wash ,'Objects In Space'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
No problem! ;o) (Presently working on a big old Draco-centric fic myself. I'm all over Redeemed!Draco)
Have you read Fearless Diva's Tissue of Silver, SA? She's still fiddling with rewrites that are really improving the pants off it prior to archiving, but the WIP in her LJ is cracking stuff.
What kind of scary? (she asks nervously, as she prepares to search Google)
What kind of scary?
Well, my forays into the fandom have been recs-based. But I know there's a lot of Snape/pupil stuff out there - up to and including Snape/Ginny. I assume most of it is when the pupils involved are of the age of conent (making it marginally less horrendous) but I had no wish to find out. Age gap stuff doesn't squick me necessarily (Mr Knightly, Colonel Brandon) and I fancy people who are more than twice my age, but Teacher/pupil (even 18 yr old pupil) just not good. But since a lot of the readers/writers in the fandom are themselves very young, they can oost after both Harry and Snape without twigging to the big scary wrongness to the degree that a card-carrying adult does.
As I said - I tend to stick with recs rather than go trawling.
How old would a fifth-year at a British boarding school be? I'm forgetting how old people are in the books. Plus, I was a clueless teenager, if htere was sex going on around me I had no idea--except for the obviously pregnant classmates, but they Weren't Talked About in my world.
First years are eleven-twelve. Fifth years are thus fifteen-sixteen.

Nope. Linky?
Thanks, Fay, for explaining the Draco thing. Goodness knows I understand pairing the hero with the villain (SpikenBuffy4evah!), but my favorite villains have to show a little more ambiguity than I've seen from Draco thus far - though since I don't actually read HP fic, it's all really a moot point.
Nicked from someone's LJ: Joy to the World. Short season 4 Christmas story. Very funny.
Holy mother of--Shrift, that new one? Is fucking great. Day-am.
Wrod. Just loved Phallus in Pigtails. I avoid SB fic as a rule, even though I'm a Grade-A MR whore. Something about the certainty that I would hate-hate-hate that flick if I saw it.
But PiP? Purrrrrrr.... Now that I've gotten the one real-life holiday gift I wanted, the only other thing I want right now is to reach up under Adam's Catholic schoolgirl skirt. Happy Holidays to me! :)
Thanks for writing that, Shrift.
