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!)

Okay, I wasn't mentioned on bryoneybrynn's post, but I don't think I'm well known at all, so I will play.

Other than my long multi-chaptered novels (which I love and are both popular), this one is my most popular. People just love my cross-dressing fic.

Princess and the Dragon ()
H/D, NC17, Crossdressing
Summary: Draco enjoyed the chase and would search London high and low for his Princess.

My favorite... that's hard. Right now I will go with
A Star and a Stray Cat (http://winnettfics.livejournal.com/40930.html) though my opinion might be different if I were to answer the question tomorrow.
H/D, R, Animagus fic
Summary: Draco wanted what Harry had: family, job, an Animagus form, love; Harry wanted Draco.

Great idea, I can't wait to read people's stuff. And what about you?

Thanks so much for adding to the list! It is for everyone!!! Old and new, the under-appreciated and the well read. Bryoney's post just provided the inspiration.

btw - The link for Princess and the Dragon is not working for me.

Oh cool. I'm happy to play.

Damn! I wonder what I was thinking. Here is the link!!

I know you winnett *waves* Haven't read your fic for a while though! * I was seduced by the dark side and read/wrote mostly Snarry over the last few months.

Brilliant idea marguerite_26 Lots of wonderful reading here *g*

Yay! I know you, too.

Dark Side? Snarry is a lovely place to be (I like me my Snarry, too).
