In Which I Ramable About SSHG Fanfic

Sep 24, 2020 15:18


It appears that my last post on here was 2017. How in the heck has it been 3 years?

SSHG fanfic. My original fanfic OTP. My first foray into the rabbit hole as fanfic, actually. And the one that still sticks with me today. My tastes have changed, quite a lot, actually. But the essence and the ideas of the stories stick with me. There are basic ( Read more... )

I discovered HP fandom in 2002 or 03, and wrote my first SSHP fic, unoriginally called "Detention" which was only posted to The Restricted Section website because, even then, I was writing smut.

The rest, as they say, is history.

I would most definitely participate in the Exchange again. The Masterlist tells me that my first story was written for summer 2006.

Some of my favorite fics that I happily reread include:

Big Name Death Eater by shiv5468

Hey, I'll take any reminders of any fics so share away! Even the tried and true. Today I'm reading The Contact by ChristinaFay. I've only read it once before. I've pretty much been reading every spare minute for the last two weeks. I was sick and then I had vacation so I've been home for about two weeks.

I do so adore Shiv's writing. :)

And as far as Desert_Sea, I'm not sure if I've read Tango, but I've read some of her other works. She does definitely write explicit, which it pretty much what jumps out when I see her name. I don't typically seek out smut!fics, I prefer plot over smut, but I don't discount a story because of smut. There are some great stories out there with very explicit scenes. LOL!

Tango is amazing and on AO3. On Ashwinder there's a series by Fervesco titled Get Hermione laid that is a lot of fun. Most of mine are on AO3.

Shiv's writing gives me life, tbh.

I was happy to see your post. It would be awesome if an anniversary run of the the SSHG exchange ever happened.

I came late to the HP fanfic world and in truth had never heard of fanfic nor even knew what it was until after the publication of DH in 2007. Saddened by the end of the series I was looking online and found a reference to fanfiction and upon checking it out discovered a whole new world. Initially I read a few fics that were canon compliant but wasn't that into them, but then discovered Dramione and the the whole good girl/bad boy vibe appealed to me. When I first saw a reference Snape and Hermione fic I was kind of appalled, yet after reading a few-- I'm not sure now what the very first SS/HG fics I read were, it may have been by Ladyofthemasque or maybe subversa-- I was definitely hooked. Snape is the quintessential 'bad boy' and Hermione one of the few who can match his intellect, a pairing made in fangirl heaven ( ... )

And I thought I hadn't posted in a long time... It's wonderful to hear from you! I am intrigued by the research you've completed on this. I'm going to try and follow this post because I'm always looking for a good rec, and your list is producing some I've never heard of.
