Yeah, there's a few here.
And the other, non Snape/Lily stuff is also worth reading.
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
I've read everything there except her novel-length one. I really should print it out and read it sometime. Of course, I should do the same with LoP.
In other fic-world news, the April Fool's Day version of dymphna.net is really, really fucking funny.
It's even funnier if you code and are a member of Visibility.

So hilarious. OMG!!

Um, I did get the coding jokes, too.
Even though I'm not a member of Visibility.
gglllg.
I'm still at the office. Will be for another hour and a bit.
Someone point me at more fic, please?

Yeah, but I know not everyone did. And most people wouldn't get all of them unless they'd been following her Standards Ranting. She was basically using the Most Common Bad Coding Practices of Fanfiction Sites as her basis.
Viewing source was FUN-NY. OMG. She used *BOLD* tags! HA!
t !--this page is designed by me! Just me! You hear that! Don't steal anything! Because I know that paragraph tag!--
HA!
... yeah, but I *got* the "bold tags! Hah!", too. 'Cause I do know the slightest bit about code, and about her rants (because I follow her journal &c), and about the whole common shit-fansite-design thing. (I was only disappointed she hadn't used CSS language that would have made mouseover'd links fly and scramble across the page into unintelligibility.)
(And I don't think it's completely irrational of me to have gotten very slightly offended at your replying-to-me "it's even funnier if you know more" line. Um.)

I think it's slightly irrational. I know you know a fair amount about code. I also know that some of the people who I know think it was funny don't, and that my reply wasn't totally directed at you. Perhaps I should have added an "isn't it?" to the end, but as I was on a quicky break, I didn't really have the bandwidth to do so.
And I do know more about code than most people, because that's what I do for a freaking living. I am about it (with quirks and exceptions, of course) the way some people are about arcane bits of writing lore. It's what I live and breathe. It's who I am, and what I am. So things are funny to me on a regular basis that are not funny to most people (see: me and the designers in meetings, throwing code jokes around while the writers stare at us in horror), so that someone would structure their whole fannish April Fool's joke around things that I normally only get blank looks for laughing at is, to me, hilarious.
I think she should have used the freaking style filters. That would have been icing/cake.
