Anya ,'Dirty Girls'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
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.
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 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.
Then again, it wasn't a very strange-feeling position for me, because I'm very used to reading things and all of their references to other texts I don't know about, because I am, or at least was, what has been fondly called a pop culture nun.
But now you've been unnunned. (And it's the only Lizard defrocking I shall be assisting in for the foreseeable future, so I shall make the most of it.)
I'm writing Dracofic, but it's at 17,000 words and still not nearly finished. Sigh. Don't hold your breath.
