Any long, chaptered, void-filling fics? ;)

[theparchmentfox]

I hate when you finish a fic and you just feel like, well, that's it, there'll never be anything like that again. Don't you?

I've just reread a few of my favourite parts of The Shoebox Project and I'm feeling miserable and angsty about the fact it's over. I've got a bit more free time (and some long train journeys) coming up over the next week and a

Self rec:
I've got a (pre-slash) story that clocks in at around 93,000 words and takes place during the boys' first year. Obviously there's nothing going on at that age, but my goal was to build a foundation of intimacy and affection between them. Sirius is already pretty much in love with Remus by the end of it; he just doesn't know it yet.

(Year Two is currently in the works, and I mean to do all seven.)

I've heard of you/ACoC! But I've never read it before :3 Thanks!

93k...I look forward to reading that. You must be very dedicated ;P

[pica_scribit]

Dedicated. I like that. It's better than "completely obsessed madwoman who really should have grown out of her fixation with gay teenage wizards by now". I hope you like the story.

Me too please?

I've just gotten back into RS fics and would love a copy of franticbabbles archive is possible? My email addy is originalcontradiction@hotmail.com (don't laugh- i've had it since i was about 12!!).

Many thanks

I don't know if anyone has sent it to you, but I've forwarded it on to you now! Enjoy :D
(P.S. Back? Never leave again! D; :P )

Oh, and there's always franticbabbles. Hers are classics. They're not available on the web anymore, but I've got a PDF of her archive, if you're interested. Let me know your email, and I'll send it along.

[theparchmentfox]

People like you should be easier to come by outside of LJ communities! I'd really appreciate that. My email is just parchmentfox@gmail.com - all my R/S accounts have that kind of username, as I'm pretty sure it's the only one no one from my 'real' (read: forced day-to-day) life currently knows about. God help me if they ever find out ;D

For the record, nobody should EVER grow out of their R/S fixation. I mean, they say the truth sustains us all, right? ;) <3

[pica_scribit]

*grin* Pica is my fandom persona (for more than seven years now. Oy!). I mostly try to keep it separate from my real-life identity. It wouldn't do for my parents or employers to find out I write wizard porn....

And no, I will never, ever grow out of my R/S love. It is by far my favourite hobby.

...but I just finished Shoebox for the first time in about four years, and I forgot how bad the cravings get when it's over. Might you, possibly please, hook me up with this franticbabbles goodness?

My email is elise.the.great#gmail.com, just pop in the appropriate symbol. If you do this I will love you forever and clutch the fic to my heart.

Re: I realize that you don't know me from Adam

[pica_scribit]

No problem. I'm always glad to share these fabulous stories.

(You know, I started reading Shoebox back when it was still unfinished pre-slash, and somehow I got distracted and never read the rest of it. Does this make me a bad puppyshipper? I realise it's one of the classics of the pairing. I think I always worried that it was so good, I might unintentionally borrow from its characterisations for my own works.)

Re: I realize that you don't know me from Adam

[soonest_mended]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I just cracked it open and I'm so excited!

And, well, I can't imagine life without Shoebox... I've used to it transform strictly-raised conservative homophobes into rampant slashers. It's a pretty powerful piece of writing. That said, some things just don't work for everyone, and sometimes your own writing is more important than reading someone else's work. I salute you, fellow puppyshipper!

Hey, I know I'm posting this after a really long time, but could you send me franticbabbles archive as well? I've been wanting to read het stuff for a while now. My email is lii.morgan@hotmail.com
Thanks!
