Select Guide to SSHG Drabbles (HBP Era)
Within this post is listed SSHG drabbles I found memorable posted after July 15, 2005 and before July 21, 2007, as well as ones nominated in the HBP round of the sshg_awards.
I earlier posted complete guides of all stories in that period of various lengths. I wasn’t able to do a complete guide for the short stories, there are over a thousand on FFN alone. It would simply take far too much of my time to put them on a spreadsheet and code them on LJ-it could take 30 posts. Similarly, there are just too many drabbles in the period out there to list-a tribute to the success of grangersnape100 during this period.
Below are links to the SSHG HBP Guides I made:
SSHG HBP Epics - Complete Guide - over 100,000 words
SSHG HBP Novels - Complete Guide - over 40,000 and less than 100,000 words
SSHG HBP Novellas - Complete Guide - over 10,000 and less than 40,000 words
SSHG HBP Short Stories - Select Guide - under 10,001 words
SSHG HBP WIPs - Partial List - unfinished stories
I starred my top six favorites in each category.
So, in the order in which they were posted:

Summary: Severus follows Hermione to a Muggle hotel. A drabble series of 12 X 100 words, for the grangersnape100 Deception and Undergarment challenges.
I’d never thought much of drabbles when I was in Trek. Just seemed these disposable pieces that people would post if they were hungry for a review hit. I remember being a little dismissive if anything at first with droxy when she pimped grangersnape100 to people in WIKTT Chat. And if you look on the archive of the group, pre-HBP the place was near dead.
As a reader, having grangersnape100 on your f-list is like having nice little SSHG bon bons pass you by. The number and quality of drabble and drabble series have exploded in the HBP period. And for someone trying to break writer’s block, or even just give writing a try, it’s a good group to dip into.
That it’s now such a thriving community-well, I credit Droxy, it’s Mod, for that. Droxy is the kind of person who will literally *refuse* to hear ill of her fellow fanficer. She keeps GS100 clique and wank-free and flame-resistant, yet it’s rich in reviews-and often thoughtful, critical ones. Hell, I usually get more reviews there for a 100 word drabble than I do for a 10,000 word chapter of my WIP on FFN. In fact it’s so much fun, I have to restrain myself from not drabbling even more regularly, and as a member there, I can tell you it’s a guaranteed mood pick-me-up to post there.
I’d encourage people to join the group-you can sign up for a team here (Order, DE or Spy) and otherwise the rules are on the profile page. You can find team icons provided by Gelsey and somigliana here (Order) and here (DE) and made by pearle924 here
Most of the authors above I know from their fuller stories-if there’s one that made me a fan on her drabbles alone, it’s snapeophile. Her single drabbles and series are memorable and often affecting and impressive.
And btw, the sshg_awards are about to begin nominating-and they have categories for both drabble and drabble series.
This concludes (as wonderfulwrites put it), the HBP Survey of Doom... Enjoy catching up on your reading-I sure did.
I earlier posted complete guides of all stories in that period of various lengths. I wasn’t able to do a complete guide for the short stories, there are over a thousand on FFN alone. It would simply take far too much of my time to put them on a spreadsheet and code them on LJ-it could take 30 posts. Similarly, there are just too many drabbles in the period out there to list-a tribute to the success of grangersnape100 during this period.

Summary: Severus follows Hermione to a Muggle hotel. A drabble series of 12 X 100 words, for the grangersnape100 Deception and Undergarment challenges.
I’d never thought much of drabbles when I was in Trek. Just seemed these disposable pieces that people would post if they were hungry for a review hit. I remember being a little dismissive if anything at first with droxy when she pimped grangersnape100 to people in WIKTT Chat. And if you look on the archive of the group, pre-HBP the place was near dead.
As a reader, having grangersnape100 on your f-list is like having nice little SSHG bon bons pass you by. The number and quality of drabble and drabble series have exploded in the HBP period. And for someone trying to break writer’s block, or even just give writing a try, it’s a good group to dip into.
That it’s now such a thriving community-well, I credit Droxy, it’s Mod, for that. Droxy is the kind of person who will literally *refuse* to hear ill of her fellow fanficer. She keeps GS100 clique and wank-free and flame-resistant, yet it’s rich in reviews-and often thoughtful, critical ones. Hell, I usually get more reviews there for a 100 word drabble than I do for a 10,000 word chapter of my WIP on FFN. In fact it’s so much fun, I have to restrain myself from not drabbling even more regularly, and as a member there, I can tell you it’s a guaranteed mood pick-me-up to post there.
I’d encourage people to join the group-you can sign up for a team here (Order, DE or Spy) and otherwise the rules are on the profile page. You can find team icons provided by Gelsey and somigliana here (Order) and here (DE) and made by pearle924 here
Most of the authors above I know from their fuller stories-if there’s one that made me a fan on her drabbles alone, it’s snapeophile. Her single drabbles and series are memorable and often affecting and impressive.
And btw, the sshg_awards are about to begin nominating-and they have categories for both drabble and drabble series.
This concludes (as wonderfulwrites put it), the HBP Survey of Doom... Enjoy catching up on your reading-I sure did.
