fic recs from hp_friendship et al.

[verdeckt]

I am not remotely caught up with hp_friendship, but every story I have had the pleasure to read has been immensely satisfying, aesthetically and emotionally and because each story expands canon in unexpected yet entirely plausible ways, making me think and dream. I wish I had even an ounce of the verbal talent that these authors share. Below you will find some

Great hp_friendship recs. Yeah, I say "Roundabout" is definitely by the same person as "It Could Be Me. . ." The interesting thing about all the dense historical/linguistic references is that you don't have to recognize the specifics in order to understand the general effect. (Sure, it's fun when you do recognize them -- like HP/Muggle Trivial Pursuit, but it's not essential to the power of the fics.)

I'll hate to see this fest end.

I completely agree! It took me a few moments to adjust, but once I did it was very much worth it. I worry that stories like these don't receive the attention they deserve because people give up too quickly? which is why I wanted to prepare the reader, but then I again I am a great worrywart. <3

So will I!

Thank you.

Oh my, it is you I must thank for your glorious tales. I am so sorry I never managed to leave a proper review; this is something I hope to rectify in the next few days.

Do you mind if I friend you? You have an extraordinary fictional voice and I would be very interested in following your work.

Honoured and delighted.

And really, yr recommendation was more than enough, and more than my deserving.

Done and done.
