I know... I'm never here...

[ginny_weasley31]

But that doesn't mean that I'm completely off the grid. Just kinda.

Really, I've asked on my FB page. I've emailed a couple of friends. Yet... for some reason, I keep running out of stuff.

What am I talking about you ask?

I am positively jonesing for Snermione fanfic. No, I have no clue why. I really hadn't read much in the last few years aside

It's old, but it's the one that flung me full force into SS/HG OTP.

Soul Searching, by Quillusion. I believe it can be found at Ashwinder.

I even had it printed off and bound so I could read it in bed, long before ereaders came along. In fact, it's still on my headboard. :D

[ginny_weasley31]

I was asking Shug about Soul Searching just this morning. We were trying to remember what it was about. ;)

I have buttloads in e-reader formats, including RedSkyAtNight's fics, which were my favorites.

[ginny_weasley31]

That's how I've been reading is via fanfics I've converted to read via Kindle & iBooks. I even have pretty covers. Same image on all of them, but I can tell what's what on my eReaders. Just like this one:

[teddyradiator]

OMG! I'm so flattered and grateful! Wow. You've made my day. Wow. I'm all overcome with joy here! Please tell Shug I thank her from the bottom of my heart! And I hope you enjoy the fic.

Which format do you have? I'll put together a care package for you. As soon as I stop squeeing all over the place! ;)

[ginny_weasley31]

I created the image as a base and it takes me about 3 minutes to add the wording for my book covers. It makes the fics more appealing. :) I did enjoy the story.

I typically read on my iPad...with my Kindle app, so .mobi. But I use iBooks sometimes, too, so .ePub is fine. I use Calibre to convert if I have issues. Really the only problems I have is converting Word docs.... And I learned this weekend that a few people posted on TPP and labeled the fic as K+ but had a chapter or two near the end separately labeled as M and my fic grabber got confused and didn't request a password...and then didn't get me the smut chapters. Not that I particularly care about smut chapters, but I do get annoyed when I'm reading and suddenly missing several chapters. Ha!

Thank you, Mia!

I read the first 4 in the last few weeks, cuz you're right, there are some that are just on that "go to list".

[ginny_weasley31]

I don't think I've read Killing Time. I'll go take a look at it today after I work for a bit.

I've been so giddy and excited reading this stuff over the last several weeks. It was very much an, "Oh! I knew there was a reason I was submersed in this stuff for so many years!"

I just had to be away from it for long enough to be able to get snagged back into it.

*HUGS* So good to see you again, dear friend

[ginny_weasley31]

Thank you so much, June! I've read a few of these, but as I was saying before, there's very little that I remember. Heck, I was reading The Harlot's Potion this afternoon and Hermione transfigured Crookshanks into an owl and I was like, "ZOMG! Do I even remember this?" I remember it now, but... you know. LOL!

I'm having trouble even remembering what the classics are. I read Cloak of Courage about once a year and depending on my mood, I usually read Hinge of Fate and Lioness Prophecies. Otherwise, but nine times out of ten, I stop after that. I just started with something new this time and tossed these stories in the middle, and then kept going. I read In Annulo this weekend and thought, "Oh, yeah! This was what book 7 was supposed to be! I remember now!"

It's been awhile. LOL!

[junewilliams7]

Well, this is an old fic I read several times a year, not only at Christmas. I remember it even before I re-read it, but it is SO well-written that I re-read it with as much pleasure as if it were new.

Tidings of Comfort and Joy, by StormySkize

Christmas, SSHG romance, and some amazing magic and teamwork from their friends.

[ginny_weasley31]

LOL! That fic was written for meeeeeeee! :)

You're right, it is well-written, and I honestly haven't read it in awhile. Thanks for the reminder!

[shefa]

So nice to see you, Ginny!

I've also been out of the loop for ages. So cool to see some SSHG enthusiasm bubbling up. I'll give a think and post some old favorites of mine for you tomorrow. :) I know I did some Fangirl Tour recs back in the day but there must be some from the recent exchanges that need adding, too.

Enjoy! I'll be back with lists! LOL

[ginny_weasley31]

Thank you, hon!

It's almost like discovering a new fandom all over again. I mean, I remember it, it's familiar, but I've been doing that frantic reading like most of us did when we first discovered this ship. I love that frantic reading and that wanting desperately to read anything that I can fine.
