cimorenetangential note: this song is sooooo cool.
oh my god, BEST FIC EVER. you don't even need to read the whole thing, just, say, chapter 5, and then chapter 14. harry=hyacinthus? BWAHAHA! how about severus crying over harry's grave at the end, and being answered by a fragile white flower pushing up through the broken dirt? i haven't read anything this funny since the original chain of fools-hetty crossover trainwreck. seriously, me + this story=FOREVAH. i'm going to have its badly-characterized overdramatic bittersweet BABIES!
some enthusiastic recs and some more snark behind the
my EYES! you shouldn't be able to post poetry without a warning.
sure sign of sex written by someone who has never had it? convulsing at a touch to the ankles (for reasons other than ticklishness). other than that, actually pretty good in the sense of well-spelled, and with a powerful plot. minuses for some over-writing and rushing through the important parts so it's not going on the recs page.
an amusing little premise and not too badly-done if you take a few things on faith (but not recs page material).
He thought of Mr Ollivander taking an hour to find him just the right deadly weapon when he was eleven; he thought of Snape saying "Very well, Potter, let us fuck"; and he went home in a strange mood. this one--unlike her other story--is just burning up with little insights like that. she seems to be growing quickly, and this, though perhaps produced in an overly dramatic stage, is beautiful and actually very convincing. although, hm, now towards the end the characterization is starting to lose me--i have to say it's still worth it. hmmm, no, it did something interesting at the end that was quite good. the wavery bit was all confined to the middle. i'm struggling to bring some mythic archetypal things i'm seeing into focus. i think i may actually feedback this, and i haven't done that in, oh, a year at least. edit: the story was crucius by dolores crane.
sweet, rather overly-so, short and worth a read, i think. but i'm not going to rec it. it's a well-put-together story but the characters don't ring true, imo.
categories: drama. ahahaha. yeah. just a little. it's like he's totally insane and possibly a little retarded (given the exhausting over-simplification of everything).
oh, for god's sake. 9.9! words cannot properly convey the sheer extent of my... exasperation with this story. wtf! twits.
ahahahahah! it reads like a play-acting thing. in fact, like minx's series. next week, harry in a nurse's outfit.
and there is an extremely moody mood piece by herhere that's also a hot pwp with some powerful images (and auditory impressions: go on, imagine alan rickman groaning a sentence thickly on the edge of control? that's what i thought).
here's another rec with very little reservations by someone who obviously knows a lot about hebrew and rabbinic lore and puts it to fascinating use. and no one's behaving out of character! i know you don't believe me. you could judge for yourself.
an unabashed pwp, but it amused me and didn't annoy. an accomplishment, really.
brilliant humor-fic pwp, and it wins the line of the day award for "Right. There's only one thing for it." Said Harry, rolling up his sleeves. "Someone's going to have to be brave and heroic. And I think, just for a change, it'll have to be me."
yet another wtf? moment outstanding in the history of fanfic. where did the plot go? eh?
dearstupid nit writer of this story, eyes do not 'flare.' in a spirit of magnanimously restrained annoyance, cim. oh god, and it has my least favorite annoying writing quality ever, namely, sounding like mercedes lackey except worse. also, wild, rampant use of appositives: the gryffindor youth, the potions master. ::stab::
intriguing! also cute, but that's a given here. i like minx. only--::sob, gasp:: no, harry! NO! don't quote poetry! not again! also there was this little soap opera element. you'll see what i mean. i'm going to rec it anyway. ::shifty look:: oh my god. now it's the Discussing Exactly How Beautiful Everyone Is scene which comes on the heels of the Painful Revelations scene ('oh yeah? well i wanted to kiss you BEFORE that!') also: 'sev.' NO, PEOPLE. NO. my eyes! you could probably just cut out most of the sex scene and its follow-up with no ill effects. okay, but maybe read the last three lines? or maybe not. depending on how mushy you like. and another one which isn't in quite remarkable enough for its own paragraph, but is still awfully cute.
AHAH, harry's dating viktor krum and being VILELY USED! turn to snape for comfort! quick! "He's full of such bullshit. He says he loves me, but that was after I gave him head." o.0! okay. um. wow. this is... one extremely surreal story. ::blink::
uh-huh. no. fairly well-done, though. an interesting premise, which could have become something really fascinating, but would have benefitted from a great deal more length.
shock, horror! oh my god, a wedding fic? i guess i knew there had to be one somewhere.
a quite entertaining little fuhqfest fic that possibly softens the characters up too much, but is fun, so it doesn't really matter.
as claire would say: BWAH! this is vastly amusing and entertaining, despite the plot holes. it reads like an episode of johnny whatsisname from cartoon network. or some other cartoon. well. anyway. and another to which the same comments, essentially, apply. well, no, too much sex for a cartoon.
eheheheh.
(unfortunately, i sympathize with THAT^ all too well. possibly i should be kept out of academia.)o.0 oddly, rather disturbingly sweet, on the whole. i think i will rec it.
one by resonant i forgot to rec before, or perhaps i didn't find it that outstanding before?
AHAHAH! it's the original 'i want you. -harry' fic!
hmmm. there's an intriguing kernel of idea, but i'm not sure i believe in this snape.
9.9 yawn.
wow. some stories are really just too idiotic for words. or links. take me at my word that that includes quite a few. and some authors' notes are so annoying you don't even want to read the story. ugh. ...did i say ugh?
and then back to the realm of unintentionally funny! through over-dramatics, naturally, and perhaps a few ill-chosen words. ::snicker:: and again: excessive ellipses, grammar slips and--angels?

"You were halfway through my letter," [Snape] said to Potter.
"Which one?"
"The one calling the editor an idiot."
Potter sighed, and started to read. "'Only the most imbecilic of readers (and, apparently, the editor of this journal) can have failed to notice...'"
Snape reached out for his hand to stop him. "Wrong one."
Potter found the other letter by Snape calling the editor an idiot, and read it with no further mistakes. "I can't help noticing that none of the other academics call anyone an idiot."
"That's because they're idiots."

Date: 19 Apr 2003 09:42 pm (UTC)Webster's New World Dictionary gives the following definition (among others) for the word "convulse":
to cause to shake with laughter, rage, etc.
If bitten on the ankle by a stranger, I'd tend to shake with rage. If bitten by a good friend on the bad crack, I'd tend to shake with laughter. In the midst of sex, with the licking, or even gentle stroking, I'd more likely shake with pleasure.
And there you have more than you ever wanted to know about my ankles.
