Finally, my third work in the genre. I like working w/ this pairing and do intend to continue. I have one fairly long WIP about half completed, and a collaboration planned for some future date.

Let's do this again. jazzypom May 16 2005, 02:10:57 UTC

Thanks for acknowledging my email. I just dropped in to give you a few links on LJ, and I hope that they prove helpful.

How To Do Stuff in LJ - this link tells you about LJ cuts (fairly simple, really), and how to do html links.

This is a list of comms that exist in LJ. There are quite a few for your needs.

If you want to keep up with the news in LJ land about Harry Potter, you can subscribe to hogwarts_today or daily_snitch so that you can keep abreast of stuff in the fandom.

If you wish, you can peruse my friends list or memories. There are admirers of your work in LJ land, such as comtisse_sin. Please move around and sit a spell. Would you like me to do an introductory post for you on my LJ?

Warmly yours,

jp (or jazz - it doesn't matter really).

P.S. - put your stories in your journal as well as in a writing archive.

Here through comtesse_sin's rec, and you can't know how glad I am that she recced you!

I had already read and enjoyed immensely this fic at ff.net, especially since you said it was inspired by one of waccawheels' pics. And still more because you write such a great Sirius, and because the love is so gorgeous and evident in the way Remus talks about him. I love, too, how well your story melts with canon, how much of a true teenager Harry sounds without being irritating or overly angsty.

Thanks for writing this, and welcome in LJ!

Now I'm off to friend you :)

Forgot to say: there's a very active LJ community specifically dedicated to Sirius/Remus, siriusxremus. I'm sure your story would be enjoyed there! To post is, you have to join the community (it's an open one), and they either make a post there with a link to this post, or post it directly in the com.

It's also a community worth friending if you are into Sirius/Remus, even though you'll find all sort of subjects and not only the best quality. But it's very active, features regularly stories and art worth taking a look, and it's a great way to meet people.

I'm sorry to be barging in, if you don't mind Nassima, but I think that was meant to be remusxsirius. The other looks more like a private journal. remusxsirius is the main hub for the pairing on LJ. But while we're plugging communities, if you're more into the darker and more complex aspects surrounding the pairing, may I recommend starcrossedmoon, an archive dedicated to R/S of the darker and more complicated sort. If you have any fics that fit the tone, you'd of course be welcome to post them there. :)

nassima May 29 2005, 12:20:36 UTC

Oops! Of course I meant remusxsirius... Probably shows whose character I tend to enjoy the most ;)

Hello! I just heard from comtesse_sin that you're on LJ now! I read this fic a week or two ago and *really* liked it. It's on my "still to be reviewed" list :o, but it's nice to have you somewhere close for that purpose now. *g* What I can remember right off the top of my head about this is that I was extraordinarily happy that Harry's "fantasies" turned out to be memories. There is enough disturbing stuff out there in this fandom to get worried that it might not be... And my favourite moment in the fic was when Lupin unexpectedly spoke up behind Harry. That was a great moment.
I haven't read your other fics yet but I'll do my best to catch up on that in the not too far future. :)

Thanks! nyxfixx May 29 2005, 23:20:18 UTC

Hi, Dark Twin!

Thank you very much for the kind words! I appreciate your interest very much and am so glad you enjoyed this story. I've seen several thoughtful posts from you over at Jazzypom's place, so I know you think hard about everything you read. Nice to hear you were relieved not to be squicked after all, heaven knows I've all too often been reading a fic I liked very much and suddenly hit a brick wall of conflicting sensibilities. You are quite right, there IS a lot of disturbing stuff out there.

Best,
Nyx

Excellent expression. Yes, that's what it sometimes feels like. I realise I'm a bit of a hypocrite, lamenting the amount of disturbing stuff out there, because I've certainly written my own fair share of disturbing stuff that could easily squick anyone and has probably squicked a lot of people already. "Disturbing" can be a very relative term. But at least it's good manners to give some warnings, and it annoys me a lot when people don't. (Not that you should have - just some general venting.)

Anyway, yes, I did enjoy that fic very much, so may I friend you to make sure I won't miss any new things you write? :)

Sure you can! nyxfixx May 31 2005, 07:21:20 UTC

I'm pleased that you'd like to! Go right ahead and I may have something new for you soon; I am FINALLY near to finishing my SB/RL novelette "A Feast in Azkaban".

And there's a regular squick continuum out there in HP fic, isn't there? If paedophilia doesn't bother one, then how about necrophilia? If that doesn't do the trick, how about snuff? LOL. And that's only the content end of it. I know a heavy dose of homonym abuse or misspelled character names does me in as readily as a sudden helping of vore. I'm often bemused at how easily the Potterverse seems to lend itself to every kink imaginable :0

And may I also add you to my list?

I love this story... profcricket June 5 2005, 17:07:00 UTC

Always have. I love getting to see flirtatious, sexy Remus and tender, loving Sirius; I love the whole discussion about what love is; and you write Harry's POV convincingly. You perfectly portray a teenager who is by turns frustrated and nervous, but also ultimately understanding and intelligent.

Thank you, Cricket!

I read this story elsewhere (can't remember where) so I just wanted to drop a comment here about how wonderfully touching it is. How Remus helps Harry resolve his confusion, how Harry learns there are indeed different kinds of love, and that he is also loved--just a tender bittersweet story. I'm so glad you're on LJ now!
