A short list of things

[blamebrampton]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY hogwartsvixxxen ! I hope you have a wonderful day, and thank you for all the support and brightness you bring to the world. I hope this year is better and easier for you than last!

And now, a few links across my flist.
* annafugazzi  has a brilliant link that shows why George Takei is an international treasure right here.
* The ever-lovely dysonrules  has her post of anti-wank here. It is a place of much niceness!
* Filled with joy and glee about things you have read in the HP fandom that were H/D or Next Gen? Share the happy! Funky Faynia's list of all things AS/S is here.  Marvy Maggie's list of all other Next Gen and Crossover fics is here. And Brilliant Bryoney's list of H/D recs is here. While we're on the topic, can anyone point me in the direction of the best R/S?
* That stylish young artist raitala  has been hosting an extensive conversation on our experiences with being new and older in fandom. The comments are fascinating! If you have a spare half hour, take a read through here.

Must dash off to work on a beta, and the apparently Giant Instructions On Writing for the lovely gh, who knows who she is.

Yay! thanks for the snazzy pimp, Beauteous Brammers!

And only a half hour for rai's post? omg! I could spend days reading it. o.O

*tackles you sideways*THANKYOU!

I'm beginning to think all the good AS/S fics have been mentioned. What's more scary about this is that there is so much fic. How can all of it be bad? o.o

*puts on helpful hat*

i don't think there's a list like that for r/s (list you top 3 recent fics, etc), but there should be one. i might throw the idea out there... the so-called classics get all the love. *g* if you want some of those "classic" rec lists here's one, two and three.

now, if you like AUs, there's my own rec list. :p

*also dons helpful hat*

musesfool, whose rec list was recced you, is also an excellent R/S writer. She has, alas, moved on to Supernatural, but her stuff is classic. Cate does some lovely happy puppy fic. (Ridiculously cute and fluffy, but in the best way.) copperbadge / sam_storyteller's R/S fic is here in case you haven't already found it. Just to warn you, Laocoon's Children 3 languishes in WIP hell. Of course, all of these are fairly major, so you might already have seen them.

I'm pretty sure I have more tucked away on my PC (am currently on laptop) but my flatmate's parents are down there, and I don't fancy trying to explain Harry Potter fanfic to them. :o)

Oh Sis. Thank You! Thank You so much! Not only for your Birthday Wishs, but you kind words. They mean sooo much to me. *clings*
I LOVE YOU!

Remuslives23 writes some nice Remus/Sirius. You may know her stuff, but in case not.

'It Was Only a Kiss' - Marauders-era start of r/ship, lots of nice UST, then it gets non-Ud.

Funny drabble - 'Why Sirius Black Should Never Be Allowed Near A Computer'

Her current WIP 'Muse' is AU-muggle R/S - Remus as artist, Sirius as model.

AS/S! My source of good AS/S just dried up, so this was perfect timing ♥
