Snowflake, Day Two

Day 2
In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.

I'm going to try to do ones my flist hasn't already done (AO3 and daily_deviant in particular even though they're both fantastic).

hd_tropes -- because it was a really well-run fest that turned out some amazing stuff and also gave me the chance to write a trope I'd been wanting to but had shied away from precisely because it *was* a trope. Kudos to marianna_merlo and kedavranox for running the fest so awesomely. It was a great experience, and I'd love to participate again.

hp_3somes -- because there just needs to be more threesome/moresome fic in the world! Maybe it's because I'm writing a moresome right now that this is coming up for me, but I'm really grateful a comm like this exists for all kinds of HP combinations. And while I'm not sure if they're going to have a fest like last year's, I loved participating in it and would definitely want to do something like that again some time.

quibbler_report -- which consistently reports on great rarepair stories and art in HP fandom. I've read and seen some really great stuff from watching this comm that I would never have come across otherwise. Plus, every time I get recc'd there, I squee a little bit. ;-)

snowflake, day three

Day 3
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

I'm trying to catch up here. Yesterday was a bad-feeling day (except for the LOVELY distraction of the new and delicious-looking harrybang [shameless promotion].) And today is not feeling real great yet either. But I wanted to rec some things that are filthy wrong. I've decided Filthy Wrong is going to be my theme in this post.


Colored Black
Author: anonymous at hp_kinkfest
Kink Showcased: daddy kink, perceived non-con
Rating: NC17
Pairing: Sirius/Harry
Summary: The first time Harry asks, Sirius tells him no, emphatically and without reservation—for all the good that ever did.
Content Notes/Warnings: Contains an arranged non-con/rape situation within the confines of an established relationship, but without the prior establishment of a safeword. Age play
Word Count: 3200

This fic. Is so hot. Like, you may have to look away from the screen from time to time and blush hotly and feel guilty and such. Hot, hot, HOT, I say. FWIW, it's aaaaallllllll Harry's doing. This is a role play. That's very clear. But what they role-play is just so fucking wrong and perfect, I can't even. If you're curious about Daddy!kink or a veteran lover of it, this is the story for you, boy howdy!


Safehouse Secrets
Author: gypsyflame
Pairings: Ron/Draco; background Ron/Hermione and Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3,347
Warnings: Infidelity; sex while intoxicated
Summary: Ron and Draco are sick of being left behind.

This story is ridiculously hot. I am NOT a Ron/Draco person. I actually avoid it. But this... It's just so bloody plausible. And as much as it's a filthy Ron/Draco fuckfest, it's also quite the sweet H/D and Hermione/Ron, too. I can't even quite explain it. But the writing is tight and engaging, and I just love both Ron and Draco in this. I love the absent Harry and Hermione, too, even though I want to smack them both up a little bit as well. (And for the record, I don't want to insinuate that there is anything inherently wrong about Ron/Draco! It's the infidelity part and the fact that they both love somebody else that gives it that wonderfully WRONG feel.)


On the other side of the mirror
Author: leashy_bebes at hp_kinkfest
Kink Showcased: Voyeurism
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): James/Teddy, Al
Summary: Al wasn't expecting this, but he certainly isn't leaving once he sees.
Warnings/content notes: Anonymous exhibitionism/voyeurism, spanking, James and Teddy know they're being watched, but not who's watching them. Al, obviously, knows once he sees them, but he didn't know beforehand.
Word Count: ~4500

Okay, Al watching Teddy fuck James. Isn't that enough? But it also happens to be written well. And Teddy and James are so fucking SWEET even as it's blindingly hot, so in a way, that makes Al watching wronger, because he's not just seeing a hot fuck. He's not just seeing a hot fuck between his brother and Teddy. He's seeing them fuck all hot AND be all familiar and intimate and beautiful and whatnot. And James is one helluva a sweet little bottom. Guh!
