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!)

You know me as [livejournal.com profile] stellamoon, and I did get mentioned a time or two on [livejournal.com profile] bryoneybrynn's post (thank you, btw.) I was a tad bit mortified that she linked to my absolute WORST piece of fan art - the one I totally hate the most. I understand that she liked it, but can't for the life of me figure why. Maybe I should cut Harry out of that picture and repost it? Oh well.

As for my personal favorite, it's usually whatever I'm working on now, or most recently completed. I can't show you that, as it's for a fest. But I can point to this instead......Coming Home (http://stellamoon.livejournal.com/20476.html#cutid1)
Something I've done that was quite popular was my Wankfest entry, here ...Peacock Dreams (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/2585549300_d3908385b1_o.jpg)

But, a lot of people have already seen both of those, so......

And my most underappreciated (yeah, I know you didn't ask for that) is here.....Shiver and Sigh (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/snarry_holidays/13390.html)

Fics:

Hiding in Plain Sight (http://okydoky.livejournal.com/13390.html) H/D, NC-17.

When the pressures of fame become too much, Harry Potter disappears into the Muggle world. However, when a desperate Professor McGonagall begs for his help he’s dragged back to Hogwarts, for a more difficult set of circumstances than he has come across before.

It Sent You to Me (Without Wings, Without Pretence) (http://community.livejournal.com/ass_carnival/54753.html) AS/S, NC-17.

As Albus slept, Scorpius planned his revenge.

!!!

I can't believe there is an art that you made that I have not seen! underappreciated is a great catagory and I should add it!

Shiver and Sigh. HOLY CRAP! o.O That is frekkin awesome. I mean, I loved the other two but I'd seen them both before. But how I ever missed such a gorgeous piece is beyond me. Thank you so much for that link.

I really liked Hiding in Plain Sight. Is that your most popular or your personal fav?

And thanks for adding to the list!

Awhh thank you. I remember your rec actually, it made my day! XD

It's my most popular and favourite. Apart from that all I've written is a few short AS/S fics! Well, there are some hidden holiday ones that haven't been posted yet! ♥

I like the idea, I'll check out some of the others on it once a few more replies appear! :)

You can PM me later requesting payment.

Overapperciated? pfft! I really didn't want this post to necessarily be about just new authors, I wanted it to be about 'hidden gems' (though I didn't think of that term until just now!) And I have not read EITHER of those fics. So for me that makes these two hidden gems! w00t!!!

Good god, Peacock dreams was yours?

That's one of the most fucking fantastic pieces I've seen in just about forever.

I can't see where to comment for Peacock Dreams, but it is gorgeous, and tantalising and lots of other big long words that basically mean fucking amazing! ♥

I had completely forgotten about It sent you to me. It was one of my favorites of [livejournal.com profile] ass_carnival because it was so twisted!


I am coming back in a bit to post for myself, I have to think about it!

In terms of comments, recs and general response.

Title: One Truth (http://accioscar.livejournal.com/65349.html)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] accioscar
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,000 approx
Pairing(s): Harry/Scorpius
Warning(s): infidelity, rimming, brief mention of minor character death, Highlight for SPOILERY warnings **implied incest, implied non-con, dark!fic (sort of)**.


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

My absolute bestest fic out of all my fics is:

Clearing Things Up

R/S 2700 words, Hard R
Remus is sick of Sirius' heartbreaks over girls. He decides it's time to clear a few things up for his friend.

Oh, and BTW, Rita, where is YOUR self pimping? Hmmmm?

Sorry about that. I guess I linked right to the Flickr image(?) But it can be found on my LJ, of course.

And, thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I spent a lot more time on that one than I usually do. I was obsessed, I tell ya!!
