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.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And it's banned by my work system. Lovely.
Whoo! We're obscene!
A selection of Draco recs pulled from PolyRecs:
The Eleventh Doorkeeper, by lady of shalott.
Nestra: An eerie, nebulous second-person story. Apparently Draco took a chance that he shouldn't have. (Note: There are prequels to this which I haven't read yet. There's a sequel which is excellent, but entirely too dark for my taste. I think the story stands alone just fine.)
A Scrap of Humanity, by yr awen.
Nestra: Several years after the war with Voldemort, Draco's called back to Hogwart's. Lovely Draco POV, lovely Snape moments.
Lyrical Summations, by L.C.
Nestra: Snape and Draco. "There's been no advantage-taking here, except perhaps that of the world over Draco, and there certainly doesn't seem to be a law against *that.*"
And Resonant's newest, which is Draco/Snape:

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I think "people are stupid" is a little... strong. I find myself wanting to pull in the discussion over in Literary on whether or not it's okay for white authors to write in a non-white voice, etc., though.
