Elena, when you get here, I felt the need to torment myself, so I went to read "Two Ravens" and "Les Noyades" again. Shouldn't do that when I'm on the phone. But finally, I've realized what the Two Ravens are, Thought and Memory, right?

And me studying hte Norse, geez.

Mmmmmm. Feedback pie.

Calling all Fay! Or whomever!

What's the best HP fic out there? Other than LoP et al., of course. And where are the best sites?

Um. Not really an expert in the HP fic, I must admit. I like Liz B's stories, those that I've read. Wax Jism's written some v. lovely stuff. I love Fearless Diva's stories. Um. Beyond that I'm not big with the expertness, though. But check out Bright Shiny Objects and Te's Blog of Rec sites, 'cause that's pretty solid.

(Poly Recs pretty much goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway.)

Poly Recs is how I've found good authors. You have read "The Language that God Speaks", right? You must. Wonderful story.

For general fic sites, the ones that I know off the top of my head:

the sugarquill.net
diagonalley.org
snitchfiction.net (I think it's .net)
veela-inc.net
restrictedsection.org (for NC-17 fic)

Don't have time to double check all the URLs, but I think the names at least are correct.

I have a fondness for the Amazing Bouncing Rat.

But finally, I've realized what the Two Ravens are, Thought and Memory, right?

Yes. Yes they are.

Did I make you cry?

Did I make you cry?

Always, always. Those two stories always do that.

And now I feel all warm inside.

I really did love your left-side story. And I'm all a tingle for the stuff that's coming next in 'Career Change'.

That's what's fun, Elena, because I can watch you going, "Come on, already, get to the good stuff!"
