( It wasn’t fair )

So, here's what I have. Try to keep responses under 500 words, and do make sure you read the previous entries before responding, to keep the story a bit more flowing.

There will be two threads--the first is the signup list, the second is the response to the story. The signup list is a tag list--just put your name in and wait for someone to tag you. Once you've been tagged, you reread through what's been done, then post your response. When you've written, go back to tag thread, and tag the person who's next on the list. That way, we won't overlap, and everyone will know whose turn it is next. :)

No actual smut in my section, but feel free to go as high in rating as you like. :D Warning--unbetad fic ahead.

So, the HP Vamp reveal is up. And I wrote this for it -

Title: Guarding Malfoy
Author/artist: elfflame
Pairing: Harry/Draco (Draco/Harry?)
Rating: Rish
Warnings: jealousy, angst and the eensiest smidge of blood-play
Disclaimer: The characters are not mine. I make no money. Please don’t sue.
Original request/Bunny:
Pairing(s): Severus Snape/Charlie Weasley (or Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter)
Maximum rating: NC17
Scenario: There's a new vampire in town and everyone's scrambling to become their blood donor and bonded mate. Charlie (or Harry) just wants a chance with the man he's been in love with for what seems like forever.
Cool things: Lots and lots and lots of suitors :D, just a dash of angst if possible
Squicks: scat, felching, wandplay, non con, extreme bdsm, ron/hermione, sirius/remus (should they think about making it into the picture)
Notes: As soon as I saw this, I got this humungous bunny. And then life got in the way. Perhaps someday I will write the full version of this fic, though I rather like it as it is. I don’t generally write Harry-fic. Usually Draco is the one who speaks to me. But this, I just couldn’t resist. Thank you to ceria & kabal42 for the beta help.

Also, a rec for the piece made from my prompt - Remembered Fire by Oldenuf2nb.  So rich, and so brilliant.  Five chapters of excellent H/D Vamp fic.  Just go read it.

So...you know those things everyone was doing a few months back for their fest entries?  This is one of those.  Feel free to ignore if you're not writing me a story.

( Likes and dislikes in reading HP fic )
Yeesh.  I know it's long, but I tried to divide it up to make it easier to read, at least. 

This list subject to change at a moment's notice...

Yes, I know everyone is already either doing this or sick of it, but I had a different idea of how to use this meme. I've been seeing comments a lot of in the past year or so about how comments and feedback for fic seem to be declining. Fic that might have, at one time, received three pages or more worth of comments now barely even manage one. And since May, this phenomenon has gotten worse. Constant problems with LJ, two conventions, the movie, the book... Most of us are pretty burned out at the moment. And we have good reason to be.

So let's make this simple. You know how great it is to get feedback, right? But we all have a tendency to think that we have nothing to offer, or that we're too busy to leave a note, or we can't think of anything to say, or that everyone has already said it all before us, so we end up not commenting. The truth is, I doubt there are any of us out there who wouldn't like an extra comment or two, even on an older fic, and even if it's just "I love this!"

Minx's idea for the Bring-Back-the- Porn-o-thon was a great start. Go through bbtp_challenge and follow the links and comment, comment, comment. Then, when you're done? It's time to keep the ball rolling. What if we were all to choose a few favorite authors, or stories (three or four or five or however many you want), and comment to each of them? If you can't think of what to say, go read through "Maeg's guide to leaving feedback" essay for ideas.

First: leave these instructions in your journal.
Second: comment on a fic
Third: at the bottom, leave a note: "Pass it on," with a link to the instructions on your journal so that the person can decide if they'd like to participate.

Also, just because you get a "Pass it on" note doesn't mean you have to. This is in no way mandatory. But if you've ever complained about not getting enough (any) feedback, all I ask is that you think about it.

Easy, right? And even if everyone only does three each, and not every person joins in, just imagine how many new comments people will get! Come on, guys. Join me.

Anyway, I'd love to see either or both written.  Hell, I'd love to see multiple versions of the second fic.  Come on, hit me with it.  Anything and everything! :D

Title: Abandoned and Found
Author: Elfflame
Pairings: Blaise/Seamus, suggestion of Seamus/Dean and Dean/Ginny.
Rating: PG13
Summary: Letters never sent by Blaise Zabini.
Warnings: Mentions of death and siggestion of murder
Author notes: Kind of a sequel to my fic, Chocolate and Toffee. Very angsty. A response to deliciantasy’s Unsent Letters Challenge. I may be editing this at some point, as I still haven't heard from one of my betas, but I couldn't wait any longer, given how nuts the next week will be for me...

( So much goes unsaid... )

Go read it right now!

Scream for Me by snapelike but warning - very dark, violence, bloodplay, rape, and more.

Written for me cause of my House challenge.  Anyone else want to take me up on it? >D

So, doing my recs this morning, I discovered I only have around 20 total fics with Ravenclaws or Hufflepuffs in them in any more than a passing capacity.  And even then, they're usually the supporting characters or they're our favorite characters, just sorted into another house.  SO...

I made a challenge there, but I'll probably reach more here:
Take your favorite character, and pair them up with a Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, and write me a story.  I promise I'll rec it if you do.  *Pretty please?*
