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!)

I just have to say this is an awesome idea...but it's very hard to pimp myself. >.>! I feel like an ass. xD But below are my two favorite stories, the only long ones I have under my belt at this point, though I'm remedying that. ;) Anyway:

Username: snarkyscorp

Most Popular Fic

Title: The Danger in Listening (http://snarkyscorp.livejournal.com/5722.html)
Pairing: Harry/Scorpius, AS/S, Teddy/AS/S...and possibly others since, you know, it's a WIP ;P
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~15,000 atm
Status: WIP
Summary: Scorpius likes to watch, but sometimes there is danger in voyeurism.
Warnings: ageplay, underaged, dubcon, exploration of various kinks and sexuality
Notes: Like I mentioned above, this is basically an exploration of various kinks and of sexuality, so not everyone will like it, but it seems to be a general crowd-pleaser because of the many taboos.

My Most Popular is also my personal favorite xD So I'll just pimp another story I enjoyed writing, since I'm almost done with its sequal and I don't think as many people follow it these days.

Title: Sketches of Saint Tropez (http://snarkyscorp.livejournal.com/952.html)
Pairing: AS/S
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 30,003 with a WIP sequel at ~27,000
Status: Completed with a WIP sequal
Summary: Albus spends the summer in Saint Tropez on a family vacation and runs into Scorpius Malfoy.
Warnings: Post-Hogwarts, and a real exploration for me on basic sexuality, love, and relationships
Notes: I wrote this for the ass_carnival and then started a sequel shortly after finishing called A Summer In Pastels (http://snarkyscorp.livejournal.com/2126.html), which is 1 chapter shy of completion.
