I love you. Siriusly (har, har). If you do not write more sirius and/or regulus-centric fics, I shall drive to Alabama and cry until you do. Mkay? (I'd threaten something worse than crying, but we both know I'd never follow through. The crying though... that you can believe).

I <3 you.

Apparently I am now obligated to write Reg and/or Sirius fic, Katie demands it of me as well.

Sirius’ first shag was with a girl named Dandy Quirke under the Quidditch stands during fifth year. He didn’t find out Remus had her first until his seventh. Ohmigosh, that made me laugh so effing hard!

As for #15, poor Reggie. As for #17, POOR REGGIE ZOMG.

I loved this. I love stories about the Blacks (so long as they don't involve incest of any kind, *shudder*) and this made me oh-so-happy. I'm definitely saving it to read again later. XD

Ehehe, 9 is my favorite. :D

You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that you enjoyed it! I was a bit worried about it since it's not an actual fic. Thanks for commenting!

I think it counts AND I love list fics. I've written a 20-facts-about one for Ron (it's here if you're interested) and another about Narcissa ( here) that has only 7 but each one is longer than the ones for Ron.

Honestly, list fics are the most fun for me to read because it doesn't feel like such a commitment. I've read really great ones about Neville and Hermione and Draco. There's so much you can do with lists. :-)

I am really fond of list fics as well, there is just something about them. Ooh, I'll read both of your's tomorrow. :D

There's some really great, interesting stuff in here, because for all the talk about Regulus, I think few people ever offer a very convincing explaination for him.

The sorting hat attempted to put Regulus in Gryffindor with his brother but he flat out refused, threatening to turn the hat into a throw pillow. The hat relented and placed him where he asked, Slytherin. Later that night, as he lay awake staring at the ceiling, he had already come to regret his decision.

That would make a great fic if you ever feel inspired.

I find Regulus extremely interesting. I am hoping he is fleshed out well in book 7, he has so much potential. :)

I supposed I’ll be writing Regulus fic, then. Everyone is asking so nicely. XD

I love this! I'm hoping that JKR fills in the blanks regarding Regulus in DH, but these all sound very plausible to me! Loved the Sorting-Hat-As-Pillow idea, and agree with ladybracknell that you should write a fic about it. LOL :D You could actually incorporate several of these thoughts.

Also loved the idea about Sirius giving James a thrashing about his insane mum. There's something almost heartbreaking about that.

And needless to say I adore the idea of Remus having Sirius' first, first. ;)

[kileaiya]

I'm so glad you like it! :D The Sorting Hat throw pillow idea amused me more than it probably should have. I think I might just turn this list into a fic.

Number nine is my favourite. I had to throw Remus in somewhere. Hehe. :D

[mrstater]

I agree that some of these are really fantastic plot bunnies you should make full-fledged fics! You'd write them well. :)

Thank you! It makes me happy to know people enjoy them and would like to see them expanded upon.
