Fic Rec

[conversant]

If you are not already following blythely's hilarious, ruthlessly sharp H/D satire of British Parliamentary banality, "Corridors of Power," run along over to her journal and read it. You needn't like H/D (or even HP fic) much to enjoy this send up of the British Parliament. For what it's worth, Harry Potter serves in the House of Commons as Lib Dem MP for

Isn't it? I've been craving fic that makes you laugh -- and this is just what the Healer ordered.

If I were logged in properly, I'd give you my tail-wagging icon. Sadly, I'm not, and I'm too much of a lazy cow to log out and log in again. So you just get the pretty Klimt trees. But they like you, too. Your writing makes the birches all shivery.

I knew you'd never steer your readers wrong, and this was a great rec. And, as I feedbacked to the author, it's not just a fun political satire, it's a hilarious Draco characterization, too. And damn, that's a sexy Harry, while we're at it. As the Giant Squid would say, eight thumbs up!

I'm glad you liked it. I recommend all of Blythely's fic. Scroll back in her journal to Christmas time and you'll find some other tasty bits. I haven't read the serial fic, "Draco Merrily on High," because I missed its beginning and just haven't had time, but there are a couple of other one shots that are just marvellous from that late December/early January period. (I especially recommend "A Lifetime of Calamities Followed by Dangerous Illnesses," which turns out to have a brilliant Harry once you see him beyond Draco's self-centred pov -- imagine a Draco like that!)

I've missed you, BD.

You know, I answered one of Aja's polls a while back by saying I thought there'd been a spike in the quality of H/D fics around Christmas, and now looking back I think blythely might have been principally responsible. I was just clicking recs at the time and wasn't always conscious about who was who. I am definitely an admirer of Lifetime of Calamities as well as DMoH, (though I see I have a few more Parts to read), plus, I just got the chance to read Most Eligible Bachelors, which was a treat. So, now, double-thanks to you for the multiple plugs!

Have missed you, too -- isn't RL a nuisance? And I should talk, anyway, given my own posting habits. Hope all is well, and would love to know how various story projects are coming along . . .
