If you haven't read Killing Time yet, then what are you waiting for? It's brilliant - both funny and touching, with sharp observations on the canon characterizations of Hermione Granger, Severus Snape, and the other disparate characters the author has placed together at Number 12 Grimmauld Place. The war has taken its toll on all of them, and ( Read more... )

Dearest Shiv, I'm so very sorry that this took so long. It grew and grew and became an entirely different story than the one I'd originally set out to tell, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. ~smooches~

My very grateful thanks to whitemunin, who beta read this at the last minute, and it's not been Brit-picked, since the gift is for my Brit-picker. ;P ( Read more... )

I realize I don't generally post twice in one day, but if you're a hg/ss fan, I highly recommend Out of This World. It's well-written, charming, has wonderful characterizations, and it's sadly lacking in reviews. :(

Out of This World
Pairing: Snape/Hermione
Rating: PG
Summary: Severus Snape has found a refuge from the wizarding world. Then ( Read more... )

I have a confession to make. I'm an HP fan, but I'm not necessarily an HP movie fan. In fact, some of you may consider it a sacrilege, but I haven't seen any of the HP movies since Goblet of Fire. Oh, I've seen clips here and there, but a full movie? No. When Order of the Phoenix was released, I'd intended to go, but I just never got around to ( Read more... )

Hello! Long time, no see, which is totally my fault. :( I promise to do a longer post tomorrow, but today I'm playing gofer for my dad while he does repairs outside, and I'm just popping by to remind you that anything posted to the sshg_exchange during the Winter 2008 round is eligible for the sshg_awards. There are lots of other fic posted to the various archives and ( Read more... )

dacian_goddess hosted yesterday's stop on the Fangirl Tour, and her recs can be found here. She's listed recs for Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel the Series, Heroes and Veronica Mars. There's lots of wonderful stuff to read and art to admire. ;)

Congratulations to all the sshg_awards winners! I am lucky enough to share an award with bambu345, something which delights me to no ( Read more... )

Big Reveals abounded yesterday, so they require a Big Pimp post today. ~grins~

The sshg_exchange reveal was posted, and I was lucky enough to receive two pieces of art from cecelle. I'm still torn between which is my favorite, since everytime I look at them, I find something else to admire. I suspect that means that I like them equally well. ;) Thank you very ( Read more... )

I've been making lists for the sshg_awards, and I've got to tell you, this is so very tough. How am I supposed to choose between various authors and fics? The stories and authors that are eligible to be nominated in this round set the bar for the rest of us. They defined our little section of the fandom. Some of the stories they created are so unique that ( Read more... )

Thank you to everyone who helped in my last post! I now have lots of notes for my exchange story. Your ideas and theories have helped immensely and gave me even more plot ideas to play with. As a result, I think the story will take a slightly different -- but I hope much better -- direction than I'd originally intended. ~smooches my flist ( Read more... )

Thanks to renitaleandra for bringing this to my attention, because I'd quite forgotten that the old Whispers archive was still in existance. I don't know if you remember the kerfuffle when a guy who called himself "Hermione" ran that archive into the ground, but I pulled the only two fics that I had posted there when it happened and promptly forgot about the ( Read more... )
