Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing (s): Harry/Draco
Most Popular: Not Less Than Everything (http://archiveofourown.org/works/506845)
According to A03 stats. It's unfinished and will never be finished though. And not the best writing either.
Warnings: Listed on A03
Personal Favourite: In Death's Dream Kingdom (http://archiveofourown.org/works/832316)
I loved writing this one. Funnily enough it's one of the least read/least kudos etc. I think it's because of the content. meh. It's my fav. :)
Pairing (s): Harry/Draco
Warnings: Listed on A03

*Thanks for doing this, btw. I've been slowly going through and finding new people to stalk!! ;)

[capitu]

In Death's Dream Kingdom was... I can't explain it. After I read it, I felt the world was different. I remember vividly how it made me feel, how much I cried. It was my prompt, too, and even (sort of) knowing how it was going to end, it was so devastatingly beautiful and sad and perfect, I don't think I found the proper words to say it, and I reckon I'm failing again. That story has a special place in my heart. All your stories do. <3

[sassy-cissa.livejournal.com]

Yay!! Can't wait to read these...although I can't believe I'd not read them before ♥

Here via your lovely comment on my Draco/Al yesterday. ♥ I’ve been more or less out of HP fandom since I fell down the rabbit hole of hockey a year ago, but there are so many fics here that I’m excited to read, and new (to me) authors to follow.

Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing (s): H/D and AS/S
Most Popular: By AO3 count, Carrying You Over (http://archiveofourown.org/works/327742), which is mostly AS/S but with some detectable H/D flirting.
Warnings: none
Personal Favourite: Although the long scene with the Sidhe in Carrying You Over (http://archiveofourown.org/works/327742) is, I think, my best writing, my favorite is an H/D one-shot that got very little attention: the taste of maybe (http://archiveofourown.org/works/269141). I wrote it for a Slythindor100 challenge, and I loved looking at how Draco and Harry might have changed in the 15 or so years since the war, and the hints of backstory.
Pairing (s): Harry/Draco
Warnings: none

I’ve succeeded in luring some of my HP f-list to hockey RPF fandom, and I’m ever optimistic, so I’m going to include these as well:

Fandom: Hockey RPF
Pairing (s): Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews (Chicago Blackhawks)
Most Popular: My daemon AU series (‘daemon’ in the Philip Pullman HDM sense), in 3 parts, has by far the most hits. The main fic, singly, the walls kept tumbling down (in the city that we loved) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/898559), is closing in quickly on the fic with the current highest hit count—a Regency AU—and has more kudos and bookmarks than it. I don’t think the daemon AU is the best fic for non-hockey-readers to start with because aside from the daemons it’s set in a very canon NHL ‘verse.
Warnings: none
Personal Favourite: The Regency AU I wrote for last year’s Hockey BigBang, Prise de Fer (http://archiveofourown.org/works/613290). Some of my f-list with zero interest in or knowledge of hockey really enjoyed it. Mostly it’s my favorite because it contains so many RL character quirks and references and in-jokes, so in a way it’s the most fannish thing I’ve ever made. But I’ve been told it works perfectly as a Georgette Heyer-style Regency romance without any of that knowledge.
Pairing (s): Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews (Chicago Blackhawks)
Warnings: none

As usual, I’ve blathered on too much! But thank you for hosting this!

[capitu]

I loved your personal favourite. <3 I truly do love see Harry and Draco grow that way. And I am sooo reading your most popular. I love me some ASS. :D

*hugs* Thank you for coming, so happy that you find this post and shared your stories. Can't wait to get my hands on them. :)

I love Draco's portrait! <3 Love the colour and his hair, his nose and the shape of his lips. Well, love it all.

[slashedsilver.livejournal.com]

Obq! You're here too! ♥

I clicked "Cafe" but the picture doesn't seem to be loading? Or is it just me? OMG I LOVE YOUR GLOMP FEST ART. I love manga-style! (Oops... I spent some time reading it from right to left instead of left to right, and was wondering why I was confused.) But it is so gorgeous, Obq you talented person!

You should post everything to your journal! Or your Tumblr. Or just cross-post everywhere.

Just found that Deviant Art changed the url of pictures they host. My LJ is a mess now.

Joining in the fun, just a little late to the party! *jams on party hat* (No, I didn't write my first three fic-length H/D fic ever just to be able to post here... At least I don't think I did. *shifty eyes* :D)

Personal Favourite: I liked A Game of Two Broomsticks (http://archiveofourown.org/works/965344) because I was basically aiming for classic!H/D fluff, which makes me happy, and the fic cooperated really well.
Pairing (s): Harry/Draco
Warnings: Fluff! Teeth-rotting fluff.

Popping in to second the rec on The werewolf and his lover! Such a great fic!

[conzieu.livejournal.com]

I love this idea!
Perhaps my favorite baby, Fleeting Beauty, which is not main stream (to say the least!) might actually get read by someone!

A/N: I know it sounds bad and depressing, but I think it's really good! :).
It has a sequel, called "This is a kiss", which is much less depressing (Actually full of hope and love), the very first HP fic I ever wrote. Fleeting beauty was its prequel, and got posted first, long before "This is a kiss" was completed. It's Snarry and can be found at http://snape-potter.livejournal.com/2407075.html
