Sticky Post for the Self-Pimping Rec list

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

[livejournal.com profile] 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!)

Most popular, going by comments:

Stealth & Tracking (http://tuawahine.livejournal.com/15465.html)
Summary: During an Auror training course, Scorpius realises that maybe he wants to be more than friends with Al Potter.

Favourite is really hard. Staying in HP fandom (which rules out my original slavefic), I think I'll say:

D for Death Eater (http://tuawahine.livejournal.com/13113.html)
Rating: Adult
Summary: A survivor of the winning side of the war takes revenge on a former Death Eater.
Warnings/Kinks: PWP, very dubious consent, humiliation, bondage, toys, object penetration

because even though I love my most recent Draco/Teddy fic almost as much, this one is the most different of my fics to date.

Uh oh. In a good way or in a bad way? *is worried*

er... I'm a bit of a wuss.

It was a bit heartbreaking. But sooo well written, I couldn't stop myself. :D

Don't feel bad, I blindly ignore warnings and those are the risks. It was also a case of reading like 4 non-cons in a row. I gotta switch it up a bit.

It is a bit 'read at your own risk', yes. *g*

That's actually quite the compliment, then. Thank you! :)

Ooh I've bookmarked your slavefic to read when I get a mo. Don't think I've read your HP stuff though!

*bookmarks*

There is some excellent stuff over at [livejournal.com profile] orig_slavefic at the mo.

Expect a review in the near future!

Cool, I'm looking forward to it. :)

There's three HP fics of mine so far (four after Yule Balls) and I think you've commented on at least one of them, but I could be wrong. (There's links to everything in my journal sidebar.)

And yes, [livejournal.com profile] orig_slavefic is one of my favourite comms, too. So much wonderful slavefic...

Have I? I have such a crap memory. But I'm happy to read them all again!

I can't keep up with the stuff being posted at [livejournal.com profile] orig_slavefic right now, there is just so much of it and of such high quality! I have a bit of writing to catch up with in the HP fandom so I'm concentrating on doing that right now. My WIP over there will get finished soon though, it only has a couple of chappies left.

What can a girl do eh? So much to write (and read) so little time! *g*

*hugs*
