On what planet is In the Company of Ghosts a novella???
That's exactly what I said to shrift when she sent me that list.
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.

Oh, good god. I just looked at that awards page.
Not only that, but... but...

What in the bleeding hell is a "Best Ad-Lib Category"? And why have "Best Romance Category" AND a "Best Shippy FanFic Category"?
And! And! How on earth, in a fandom 4 years old, can you have a category for "Honorary Lifetime Achievement"?

In the Company of Ghosts
I read part 1 of that, but didn't read more, b/c I didn't know enough backstory (part 1 was confusing, really). But now I think I'm going to go back to it.
I started Mayaan's newest story, and then my computer crashed. THAT'S how wrong John/John is.

You should read it, Steph. It's the most incredible thing.
And I talked to Max the other day and she's got 1000K of story on her hard drive. Wheeee.

Read Maayan's new story, Steph. It's not about the slash.

"No, YOU suck." -- the mean people.
I've got a friend looking for LoTR recs, non-slash. We've only got two at PolyRecs, and one is humor. Anyone have any they'd like to share?
One I came across just the other day and enjoyed a great deal is The Care and Feeding of Hobbits. by Baylor, a writer with whom I'm unfamiliar. It's actually a collection of short pieces, subtitled "Ruminations on the Little People by Boromir, Man of Gondor." Lovely hobbit stuff and lovely subtle Boromir stuff too. Well worth reading.

Hee. That's already on my to-read list, courtesy of grit kitty. I'll definitely check it out.

For those of you who remember Naked Quidditch, it seems to have been finished:
Edit: Oh, and The Care and Feeding of Hobbits was an absolute joy. Highly recommended.

Just finished the Naked Quidditch--wonderful fun, but dammit, Draco didn't get to rescue Harry or anything, sigh. I'm a twisted, twisted soul. Though I like Ginny.

Thanks for the very good rec, Kat. Now you have done me two favors today....
