Of the random variation. :D One James/Scorpius Next Gen OTP ♥. One Albus/Scorpius, my first! I think it's my first. :D I want moar now! Got any recs? And one Naricssa/Seamus, Narcissa/Seamus/Stan (from The Knight Bus), and Naricssa/Dean with Ernie watching the whole thing, and trust me, you have to read that. :D

Title: Kepp Your Mouth Shut by snegurochka_lee
Rating: NC 17
Pairing: James Sirius/Scorpius
Word Count: 7,000 Approx.
Summary: James's dad had been right about one thing: Malfoys could never keep their goddamn mouths shut.
Warning(s): Boys playing around with Dom/sub stuff
My Notes: Oh my god. This fic, this fic! This fic is about James and Scorpius experimenting for the first time with Domination/submission. And it's brilliant. It's hot, James' and Scorpius' characterisations are fantastic, and it's just amazing see them dipping their toes into this without them quite knowing what they're doing. It's awesome.

Title: Stutter by secretsalex
Rating: NC 17
Pairing: Albus/Scorpius
Word Count: 2,500
Summary: Scorpius has a stutter. Al has a way with words. Draco discovers their unlikely relationship.
My Notes: This story, it's just, there's something incredibly sweet about it. It's written from Draco's POV, and it's pretty amazing, the way it starts: There is something wrong with the Malfoys. // Something intangible, something essential. that intro, and what follows, sort of grips you and pulls you in, and then you discover through Draco's eyes this beautiful, sweet Scorpius who has a stutter, and Scorpius and Al's relationship. It's pretty amazing.
This fic has a podfic made by the lovely vaysh, which you can find here. And doesn't she have the most beautiful voice ever? She does! <3

Title: Worth It by lumosed_quill
Rating: NC 17
Pairing: Narcissa/Seamus, Seamus/Narcissa/Stan, Narcissa/Dean, (Ern POV)
Word Count: 1,000 Approx.
Summary: Narcissa likes to slum it on the Knight Bus during the summer months when all those delectable boys are out of Hogwarts. At least, I think that's what's going on; it's all Ern pov. *shrugs*
Warning(s): cross-gen, undisclosed ages (though it's Hogwarts-era, so 16 probably?) using someone sexually, taking turns, spit-roast, voyeurism/exhibitionism, infidelity, complete slut!Narcissa (like, she has no lines even), general filthiness
My Notes: This little fic is insane. It's not just hilarious, but it's strangely hot, too. And I say 'strangely' because you wouldn't believe how fucking well it works. Like, oh god, Ern's POV is spot on, and the sex is fucking dirty and so good! Read it, I dare you to, you won't regret it!

Also,

hd_owlpost sign ups open August 22, that's in two days!!!! Are you doing it? I think I'm going to. I loved it last year, and I so rarely have the chance to sign up for stuff. I'm really excited. I just hope I don't bite more than I can chew (that's the saying, right?). Waaaa. I'm excited.

Good things!

We might have lost the ~Drarry~ competition in that Slash Madness business.

But we won't the Best Fandom Forever at the MTVU Fandom Awards.

Oh yeah, we rock. <3

And speaking of rocking, my flist exploded with Harry Potter love today with all those birthday goodies he's getting. I'm so happy!

It's like Christmas in July!

And speaking of Christmas (oh, yeah, I'm going to speak about

hd_erised again), Sign Ups open tomorrow at

hd_erised!

I hope to see you all there. Yes/Yes?

Here, have a random emoticon:

Yeah, that emoticon is random. What is that thing? I'm happy, you're happy and now for no apparent reason I'm gonna lick your ear? What? LOL

Happy Birthday, Harry!

Cooooold!

I knew it was going to happen, I just wasn't prepared!

Just two days ago I was enjoying 25C and today it's down to 9C! GOD.

Do you have any idea how traumatic and tragic this is for me? I'm freezing my bum off. I'm actually wearing earmuffs. Inside!

And I know half of you are complaining about the heat, but this (for me) it's so cold, it's cruel.

The thing is, because it's always so hot down here, houses aren't built with heater systems and to keep cool rather than warm, so yeah. It's a problem on the few occasions the weather goes crazy on us.

But onto important matters. You did check that today

hd_erised posted the sign up forms for you to be read on August 1st, yes? XD Sooo, are you considering? Remember, it's only 1,500 minimun and you have until November 14 to write it. ;D

And please, please vote at this Slash Madness. Every vote counts, and yeah, we're a bit behind, but we can fight to the bitter, bitter end!

*something clever goes here*

Is it too soon for me to talk you some more about

hd_erised again and how the sign ups open on August 1st?

Yeah? Well, okay.

I'll just talk to you about mirrors and how they freak me out.

I always clean the mirrors as fast as I can because I'm afraid the mirror is going to look at me. You know, like "Yeah, I'm not just a reflexion, I'm LOOKING at you." Mirrors are freaky.

But you know what's not freaky? The Mirror of Erised. :D But I said I wouldn't mention

hd_erised again (and how the sign ups open August 1st).

But I will remind you that claliming is open at

Happy Monday!

I was thinking I needed a pimp hat icon, but then awesome

captainraychill made this Pinata Spank for

birdsofshore's Anywhere but the Bed, now I have Harry in a sombrero about to kiss Draco's bum. It can't get better than that. :D:D:D

That Comment Fest was such a blast, if you haven't checked it out, here's your chance. The Master List is up, and you can browse through all the awesome submissions. There are icons for everybody! <3

And

hd_smoochfest posted the Reveals! I'm always so excited with reveals. I had a few rights, others, damnit, I should have known!

Also,

hd_tropes starts posting today. I've been refreshing my flist like a nerd all morning. Lol I know it's going to post just as I go for lunch. I just know it. ^^ ETA. So! It's posting already. See, this is why you refresh and scroll down, so you don't look like a fool, like me. :P BUT YAY! (About the posting, not the fool thing...^^)

Anyway. Now, well, it's July, surely you're all thinking about December already, yes?

So I'll just leave this little something here:

I'm going to miss the games and everything so bad. What a month, ups and downs, but ended with a great note. Go Germany! :D

Happy Birthday, my lovely eidheann_writes!

Dear

eidheann_writes,

I wish I could give you all the things. I wish I was able to write you the best story, draw you the best art, make you the fanciest present, if only because maybe that way I would be able to show you how much I love you.

This gift, this incredibly silly thing I did, was made with all my love, hoping that you already know. For you. <3

Title: The Story of Harry & Draco
Author:

capitu
Rating: PG? R? idek. ^^
Word Count: 100
Summary: One hot, steamy night together, is only the beginning for Harry and Draco. This is the story of that beginning, and it happened on the last day of school.
Warning(s): I'm not sure if this is safe for work. Actually, I'm not sure if this is safe, period. But do enjoy it anyway! Erm, right, warnings: image heavy-ish, AU Hedwing!lives and a smidgen of mpreg.
A/N: Many thanks to my beta

iwao for all the enthusiasm, for encouraging this madness and for the beta, naturally. She said it was funny and silly in all the right ways so blame her, too, really!

Happy Birthday, M. ♥

Titanic! <333

Oh, God. Have you seen Titanic at

hd_smoochfest?

It's a video, NC 17 (Not safe for work) and with the most beautiful soundtrack.

It's so beautiful, every time I watch it – and I have been watching again and again, because OMG, I feel my heart swell to the point it might burst with so much love for this art, this video. It's perfect.

Every image lovingly made, with so much care for the details, so much love, so beautiful to the eye and magic to the soul.

*watches again* I'm in love.

H/D Art Rec Post.

This post is ridiculous. I meant to rec art from the SmoochFest but really, it's just easier to point you to the art tag because I started it and I realised I'm reccing pretty much everything. It's just so hard; all the art is lovely and fun and cute yeah, you should check it OUT ALL. :D

Here's something to get you started though:

( So much art rec. All H/D :D )

Yeah, I told you there was a lot of art. :D But really, do check that art tag. All the art is brilliant, and on that note, so are the Fics, dude. :) And don't forget to leave a comment on everything you read and see!!!!!

Draco's Birthday Party!

A very special date is coming, we couldn't let it pass without celebrating, could we? After much prodding and poking and nudging from

birdsofshore (there was something of a cat-fight going, "I'll do it!" – "No, I'll do it!" for many days) finally, Announcing Draco's Birthday Party!

Art by

cremebunny, banner by

capitu

What's this?
This is the celebration of Draco's birthday!

Who's invited?
YOU ARE INVITED! EVERYBODY IS INVITED!

Seriously, what is this?
This is us celebrating our amazing, pointy git with anything and everything you can think of to share; drabbles, ficlets, fics, art, finger art, graphics, gifs, recs, lego erotica, macros, mac & cheese messages (I've seen things!), lists (who doesn't love lists??) and anything you can think of. Hey, you can leave a prompt, you can fill a prompt!

All contributions will be loved and adored. ♥

There's no restriction of ships or characterisations. You like leatherpants!Draco, go for it! You like snarky as hell!Draco, take him! You like hung!Draco, GO FOR IT. It's all game. :D

When is this happening?
Right now! The celebration lasts a whole week. Starting today, June 3rd, including the glorious 5th and closing on the 10th. A Master List of Fills will be created as contributions start coming.

How to do it?
Just start a thread in comment form filling the subject line with a title. Ex: Prompt: Draco/The mermaid at the prefect's bathroom, Or Fill: Draco and Harry chasing all the peacocks, Or Draco listing all the way Saint Potter annoys him (you know he loves doing that). Etc. and so on and so forth.

ETA: Remember, can and should cross post your fics/art/contributions to

slythindor100! <3

ETA: Master List of all contributions so far. And of prompts!

Final ETA: Master List Of Draco's Birthday Party 2014

You're in? OMGYES!!! I mean. SUPER. Let's get this party started! \o/

James/Scorpius Recs

I have to admit I kinda fell in love with this pairing since I read this fic Getting There (which I recced here) and now I might have a Next Gen OTP. Maybe. I mean, there's James/Al after all. And I haven't read very many Al/Scorpius. And I do love Pottercest. And Weasleycest. And... yeah. ^^

Oh, Fandom, you just keep on giving, don't you?

Title: Houses & its sequel Games by Canary
Rating: NC 17
Pairing: James Sirius/Scorpius
Word Count: 51,400 // 10,800
Summary: Scorpius Malfoy goes away to school. //Scorpius Malfoy's summer holiday.
Warning(s): under age sex (both James and Scorpius – no chan)
My Notes: The thing is, here James is a bit of a prick, okay a lot. And Scorpius, he's very special, he has a bad family life, his parents neglect him, he's just arrived from living in Italy and he's not used to English, well, nothing English, he's a Gryffindor. And his friendship with Albus is lovely. At first James and Scorpius sort of hate each other, and that seems simple, they hate each other, but then it turns complicated when they first get together and James is still an arse to him, but eventually things evolve for the better. The sequel is in the summer after James and Scorpius reach a rather nice point in their relationship, and everything goes downhill because Scorpius' parents are so indifferent to him. It's really, really good.

Title: The Secretary's Sensational Seduction by hereticalvision
Rating: R
Pairing: James Sirius/Scorpius
Word Count: 11,000 Approx.
Summary: In love with Albus, his gorgeous boss, Scorpius Malfoy feels like Al sees him as another piece of office furniture. But Al's brother, the arrogant, wealthy James Sirius Potter, has a plan. If Scorpius pretends to be his lover, Albus will surely want what he can't have. The plan seems to be working. But what is James' real agenda here?
Warning(s): none. ^^
My Notes: This fic is just super fun. It's just as the summary says, but only, as Scorpius and James pretend to be seeing each other, well, Scorpius starts realising maybe Albus isn't the one he really wants. Sweet and lovely!

Title: The Right Kind of Sinner by tryslora
Rating: NC 17
Pairing: James Sirius/Scorpius
Word Count: 20,000 Approx.
Summary: There are only a few hard and fast rules of the streets, and in the few months he’s been hooking, Scorpius has learned them all. Never bareback. Never give out a freebie. Never let your heart get involved. Never assume you’re more than a fuck. Never assume your john is single. Then along comes one night with James Potter, and Scorpius breaks all those rules and ends up risking everything, with no guarantee he’ll get anything in return.
Warning(s): prostitution, mpreg.
My Notes: This fic, it's just painful and raw and brilliant. This is Scorpius living with Muggles as a prostitute, and his life is simple enough, until one night when James Potter walks by his corner and pays him for the night. A few weeks later Scorpius realises he's pregnant, and what comes is so hard for him, he's so alone, even after he tells James, he's alone and things really get complicated, the question is, is James going to be there for him at the end? Beautiful and powerful.

Do you have Next Gen OTPs? Or pairings that you favour? Recs Anyone? XD

Dear

iwao, from the moment you first posted I fell in love with your art and style, then I got to know you better, I discovered what a wonderful person you are; you're kind and thoughtful and funny, and I hope you have the best day.

I made you some icons. Some of these are strictly not safe for work, but you know, for such a naughty girl, you don't have nearly enough naughty icons. ^^

I love you, darling. Happy Birthday. ♥

Turning in for Writcraft's Comment-a-thon for HUFFLEPUFF - Go Puffs!

The Comment a Thon has come to an end. I had a blast with this. Went absolutely mad! Well,

birdsofshore and I did and

traintracks embraced the madness.:D

There were very few Hufflepuffs, but we're diligent and hard workers. And we fight to the BITTER, BITTER END.

And so even if we don't win I think we did REALLY WELL. I'm proud of what we did! Erm, yeah. You might think things, 'crazy' and 'wft!!!!' and 'OMGLOL' but I'm PROUD! Embrace the madness with us! LOL

My final point count is: 687 points made for Fine and Noble House of Hufflepuff. *\o/*

( My crazy table of crazy is here: )

I am sad it's over, too. I read really awesome fics, new pairings, new fests, and it was super fun, but I can't wait to know how the rest did. :D

Recburst of unusual pairings.

Okay, not really. :D Next Gen, Harry/Ron and Cross Gen!

And these are awesome.

( James Sirius/Scorpius, HarryRon, Lucius/Harry. )

I hope you love these fics as much as I did.

And art recs!

In case you didn't know,

zeitgeistic is an amazing artist, and today I went through so much of her art. I want to rec it all. But here are some you mustn't miss. Actually, you mustn't miss anything but here are some for you. ^^

( Art Recs recs this way. :D )

Seriously, you need to go through her art tag. It's brilliant.

And then come back and fangirl with me about it. Did you see that Harry Portrait? And the H/D? And all of them? Man! :D

Wow, it's been two years...

Yesterday

my_drarry_recs was two years old.

I can't believe it, it seems like yesterday; so many stories, so much fun, so many amazing friends made.

And I'm going to get mushy now, and really, you shouldn't be subjected to that without the chance to skip it.

When I started the rec archive two years ago, all I wanted was to share the stories I enjoyed, and do so in a way that was easy to find other stories, older recs, some specific tropes/genres, because I've followed archives in the past that are no longer updated and I remember how much I loved them, how many stories I discovered through them. I hoped that someone, one day, would find the rec archive useful, would find it easy to navigate and most of all would find stories to love.

I never thought it would come true. I mean, I hoped, I hoped people would find it useful and enjoy it. That's the only purpose of a rec, to share a story with someone else.

And wow,

my_drarry_recs is two years old. (can't quite wrap my mind around that one.)

Maintaining the archive takes some time, takes a bit of organisation and dedication. Once in a while I get a message or an email from someone telling me how much they enjoy the archive. People has been incredibly kind to me in telling me good things about it and I'm floored, because even though it was something like a dream of mine that it would happen, I guess I never thought it would, you know? I thought people would enjoy the recs, but I never imagined they would embrace me and made me feel part of something. And I'm incredibly grateful and humbled that you have. Every single comment and message I get, it goes straight to my heart and stays there forever.

And it all happened because of you, because you writers keep sharing these amazing stories with us, you give your time, your effort, your talent to share something with us, and today, as every day, I thank you for that.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for keeping the magic alive. <3

Tell me about your first time...

... Reading fanfic, reading slash.

slash

I remember when I found fanfiction. It was after I read Goblet of Fire and was waiting for OotP to come out. I found a story, I don't remember how, I didn't know what "fanfiction" was, so I thought it was just someone writing how they wished/dreamed/thought the books would continue; a short story inspired by the books. And so read it.

In retrospect, I realise this was a Draco/Hermione story. It was PG (from what I recall) and it was good. I was a bit confused though, because I didn't understand why Draco was being nice all of the sudden, and why Hermione wanted to hang out with him instead of Harry and Ron. I didn't know what "ships" were either! But still, I thought it was a pretty nifty idea.

Went looking for more. Did some more searching and Ta Dah! Slash. Or rather: SLASH

I read my first slash fanfiction. It was Harry/Draco, NC 17 and a PWP to boot! It was pretty much the hottest thing I had read in my life, up to then. It was. . . it was like seeing life in colours, with the celestial illumination and miracle music and all. (For a more accurate illustration of my actual reaction, see here. Yes. That was me all right.)

I was all, "Oh, this is awesome. I wonder if there's more?" (Only, you know, in CAPS LOCKS and with a crazy/obsessed glint in my eyes.)

And thank you, Internet, because, yep, it turned out there was quite a bit more out there. :D

I found websites and slash web-rings. Eventually I made my way to the yahoo groups, which is where the Harry Potter community lived; slash, femslash, het, it all happened through yahoo groups, later on I found fanfiction.net (I still remember when ffnet was cool), and after a couple of years there, it all moved to livejournal. The rest, is history.

But man, what a thrill; finding, discovering! Opening your eyes to something new, falling in love with a fandom, finding people who loved something as much I did and created all these amazing stories and art, being part of something bigger. *happy sigh*

What about you? How did you find fanfiction? How did you find Slash? Was it Harry Potter first or a different fandom?
