You're welcome! I hope you'll find them useful and discover some fic to enjoy you hadn't come across!

Followed through from MiaMadwyn's journal - just thought I'd say that while I'm indigofeathers on OWL, I'm feathersindigo on LJ (someone got to the name first, sadly). Thank-you for including me in this :)

Such a long list - must have taken you ages!

Corrected!

It doesn't take as long as people might think--I rec for Know-it-Alls so I reguarly fic troll archives in the ship anyway and it only takes a few minutes to enter much of the info each night on a spreadsheet for long completes or shorts that caught my eye. And each of these posts--the actual coding took less than an evening. Rather soothing.

And as for going through all that fic--if it's bad, it's usually bad from the beginning and I don't need to read much--if it's good--like your short--it's a pleasure.

Thank you for your hard work and with the care you take with these lists - I know I value and respect the heck out of them, and being reccd by you has been a litmus (as far as I'm concerned) of being recognized for producing good work for the fandom.

Thank you, also, for focusing on the short stories (and not only because that's what I write, lol). I will occasionally read novel- and novella-length fic, but I'm drawn to the tightly-written shorter pieces both because the amount of time I have to devote to reading isn't what I'd like it to be, and because that's where I've thusfar found the risk-takers and other writers who experiment with form and function and constrained writing.

Yer awesomesauce. Thank you!

I'm with you there. I do love to revel in a good longer work. I think it was Stephen King who said a short story is a kiss but a novel is at least a love affair? But yeah, its the short fic that tends to take chances. It's also my choice if I'm going to try something in fics outside my OTP--because while I might whimper at the thought of reading say, a Remus/Sirius epic, I could see reading a really good short story in the pairing.

And obviously--you know I loved The Frog Prince muchly :-)

Not a lot, no. Very little. But I check, because sometimes some things show up there and no where else. Basically for these lists I did a check almost every night--first FFN where about half of the ship shows up, then Adult Fan Fiction (which almost never has anything readable, let alone reccable) the "Big Three" moderated archives (Ash, TPP, OWL) then what I think of as the "Minor seven." Every once in a while I *have* found something at Fiction Alley--but there was much, much more during the classic era of the ship when it was just about the first and only moderated HP archive pre-OotP and Ashwinder. FA is not from what authors tell me, a particularly Snape-friendly site, it's a pain to navigate and doesn't get many reviews ( ... )
