Select Guide to SSHG Short Stories (HBP Era)

[harmony_bites]

I searched through FanfictionNet, AdultFanfiction, Restricted Section, Ashwinder, Petulant Poetess and OWL.

Listed here are notable SSHG stories under 10,001 words posted after July 15, 2005 and before July 21, 2007. I included any recognized by awards and rec sites like the Multifaceteds, Quill to Parchment (QtP), Know It Alls (KIA) and crack_broom and the

Amazing work, all the Guides. Are you going to announce them on WIKTT list or do you want somebody else to do it?
Glad you've covered everything now, so perhaps BOS is the next item on the to-do list.

I wasn't planning on announcing them on WIKTT actually. And one more to do--the Drabbles.

BOS is always on the to do list--even ahead of this--just doesn't mean it comes easily or quickly.

Erm... You've covered my favourite short stories, based on a glance at the things I have saved various places, so I can't help you there. (I'm sure there are more, but I always forget to bookmark things, so I may find things after some digging.) And I generally read them in other ships and fandoms, because I think it's a nice way to branch out.

I'm a bit in awe of these... Would you accept a nomination for a place of my list of heroes?

[harmony_bites]

I'm sure there might be some out there I haven't found. Sometimes just because you overlook things. In a way TPP and OWL since they overlap so much was a doublecheck, because Ashwinder doesn't have any easy way to search for these. WIKTT Archives makes it pretty impossible to do such a search and Digital Quill was started after HBP so it has older stories that are dated after--I had to check to make sure I had the earliest date checking against other sites. Can't check erotic_elves by pairing--or a lot of other archives where some SSHG might be hiding. Like Fiction Alley. So there might still be some out there...

Heh--is obsessiveness/compulsiveness and speed reading heroic virtues? Well, maybe to Ravenclaws...

[silburygirl]

My list of heroes is welcoming to most talents, unconventional and odd though they may be. (That would be a yes.)

I glanced at FA briefly when I saw you hadn't listed it, but there wasn't much that appeared promising, and nothing that I haven't seen posted elsewhere.

Honestly, I don't read shorts all that often. They have to be either written by an author I already love, or posted in the sshg_exchange. So when I tried to make a list to post here, I was at a loss. Here are the two I was able to find...

Thank ee--I would have liked to just add any suggestions (under people's names) above--but I could easily run out of room. I was glad to keep this under one post. LOL
