What a fab list of recs - and thank you for including me!
It was your first suggestion that caught my eye. I wrote a Draco/Neville for a fic exchange a couple of years ago, and 'Lust over Pendle' was the only other D/N fic I could find. People really rave about it, but, and this sounds terrible, I've never been able to get past the first chapter. There's something about it that I couldn't get my head around. So sadly, I've never got as far as Draco or Neville being in it. I'm sure it's a classic, and I wish I could read it, but for some reason I just can't. There is definitely something wrong with me!
She has a very peculiar writing style that I love, but I can see how others could be rebuked by it. But it also was one of the first fanfics I read and it definitely opened my eyes on how "minor" canon characters can be most developped at length - it's what fanfic is all about (that, and the porn!)
Sometimes I wish I were a newbie again with all this still ahead of me :)
I am woefully underdeveloped when it comes to having read the basic fandom fics. I got stung a couple of times in the early days by reading H/D fics that everyone was raving about. I didn't enjoy either, so I sort of decided I wouldn't read any of the big fics after that. I think when something has such a massive build up you need it to be simply incredible, and finding it's not can be hard to take.
I bet I've read substantially less fic than almost any other fandom person I know. Bad kitty.
Hey, it's better than the usual system of posting some chapters, pausing for six months, posting another one, pausing for a year and three days, posting the next one, etc. etc. :-D

It's still far from complete though, I'll try to be good and update it often.
