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 fic:

Title: The World of the Living
Pairing: Harry/Draco

Word Count: 17 400


Personal favourite: Sorry, I hope I’m not cheating here by naming two, but I honestly can’t decide – the first one is the story that’s closest to my heart, the second one is the story I consider my best work to date.

Title: From the Ashes
Pairings: Harry/Pansy, past Harry/Draco, Draco/Pansy
Rating: R
Summary: Voldemort is dead. The war is over, but moving on can be harder than expected - especially if you're not sure to which side you belong anymore.

Warnings: Character death. Written before book 7.

Oh, very interesting choices.

I must admit as much as I love The World of the Living my favourite of your is your Harry/Draco/Luna. ♥


ETA: What am I saying!!! Seven Days in June for the win. :D
It is awfully hard to pick!

Aw, thank you! :) The Harry/Draco/Luna kinda grew out of "The World of the Living" - after writing H/D through Luna's eyes, it seemed like a logical conclusion to let her play too next time ;)

Ohh, I loved The World of The Living, and I loved From the Ashes even more.
One of these days I will have to leave comments for all the fics I read and loved when I was still a shy anonymous lurker...
