Is it nap time yet?

I had this theory I would take May off work. At this rate, I am grasping mid-June to mid-July as my first available sanity break. CURSES![Poll #1562495]In other news, Vaysh and Maggie have a fabbo list coming together on the most-recced fic written since the end of canon. Check it out here! I have bookmarked it as a good reading list for mid-June, but if you have a better memory than I, get in and add your own suggestions!

And here is one of the most charming art pieces I've seen in ages: Hugo and Arthur out in the garden by [livejournal.com profile] leochi .

I am sad to see that I am the only one who picked "other", but I have to say that nothing compares to "For The Public Good". That is one that I would read over and over again.

But maybe I'm a little biased because that is the first fic of yours that I ever read.

Cheers dears! I do love that fic, and I think it is my most accomplished piece of fest writing (I actually took time to edit it properly, for one), but didn't put it on the list because it was possibly just a bit too far down the 'fan' side of fan fic. But thank you!

Are you kidding? I linked "For The Public Good" to my best friend who has not read the books or watched the movies. And while she had a couple of character/plot questions, she absolutely adored all the political humor!

But yes, it did feel very polished and well thought out. And I think that's what made it all that much more brilliant to me, on top of the political humor.

But if it is off the table, my next vote would have to be for "Beneath Boundless Skies". It does have Australians, so maybe he would connect with it more. :)

This made me laugh, because the thing I read before it was this: http://fanlore.org/wiki/Wizarding_Politics -- a friend linked me to my 15 seconds of fame ;-) Ah Boris ... you're a comedy staple ...

You're famous (and well-deservedly so)!

He was the icing on top of the already large pile of hilarity. :)
