Sticky Post for the Self-Pimping Rec list

[marguerite_26]

I am a little lame and idealistic. But I hope people will participate in this anyway because I want to read your fics but I want you to make it easy on me.

A Self-Pimping Rec List

bryoneybrynn wrote a post early this week welcoming people to name artists and writers they love who have not ‘made it big’. These are the wonderful people of fandom that toil to create quality fic and art but are not always the first people to get the awards, to get on the top of rec lists, you know who I mean.

These are the people in fandom that need an extra little pat on the back because the HP fandom is huge and many talented people get loved by a devoted few but passed-by by many simply because their name is not recognized.

The comments in that post are an amazing collection of such talent. I have poked around at a few new names and found a few fics lists but frankly it is not easy to figure out where to start. This got me thinking!

I would like to invite any writer or artist (whether they are named in the comments byroney’s post or not) to pimp themselves here.

Ideally I would like to see the following:
- Your username
- 2 fics/works of art (your most popular and your personal favourite)
- Please include proper links, with pairings, ratings and any warnings (summaries if you wish).

I really hope people will not be shy and will add their names so we call discover a few authors/artists that are new to us. I would like to see links from people who have only one or two stories (art) and people who already have quite and archive (even if you are already considered 'well-read' I would love to know which fic is your personal favourite!)

Author: accioscar

Personal Favourite

I was torn between two, so I've included them both (hope you don't mind).

1.
Title: This Time of Year (http://www.thehexfiles.net/viewstory.php?sid=10231)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 13,000 approx
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Warning(s): het (brief, mild H/G), angst, adult language, OC, a somewhat negative characterisation of Ginny (although she's only in two scenes).

Not because I think it's particularly good, but because it's my one-and-only chaptered fic (although they are very short chapters) and because it started from a single 300 word drabble that grew into 13,000 words! I made it up as I went along - writing and posting almost every day last December - and, despite moments of writer's block, I really enjoyed writing it.

2.
Title: Life Eternal (http://accioscar.livejournal.com/4490.html#cutid1)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3,000 approx
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Warning(s): angst, character death (Harry AND/OR Draco), AU, adult language.

Simply because it's the first piece of fan fiction I ever wrote. It's probably a big pile of shite but I feel a certain loyalty to it, which is why I've included it. ;D

I haven't read the other two. YAY! This is the best idea I've ever had. :D
