Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Fan Fiction: Writers, Readers, and Enablers  

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Check PolyRecs. We've got a couple Draco ones. Mostly Draco and Snape, I think. And...Resonant? posted a new one recently.

It's a dumb piece, but the writer's not a brilliant person, so.

I guess I'm just really in mourning that the sequel to Lust over Pendle isn't around yet. I really don't seen Draco/Snape--at least not in a good way.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

And no, no, no article I've ever read addressed what I think are the most important issues raised by fic. I think it's doable, and it ought to be done, but I haven't seen it. That's because people are stupid.

This is a true thing, RL. There are important issues- like narrative authourity and the granting/not grating/abuse thereof- and maybe I should try and write about those things. But I can't be bothered, and I wouldn't do it very well anyway.

Is there a link to the PolyRec site? Searching Yahoo brought up some strange polymer sites that I don't think are right.

And it's banned by my work system. Lovely.

Well that sucks. It's on Slashcity.net so that may be why.

Yeah, I imagine that was a big ol' red flag. Pout! Well, I can always read LoP again, I guess.

I need to read LoP again. I haven't read much HP fiction, but I know have a great fondness for Draco/Neville.
