Fic rec, pimpage, a poll, thank yous, and more...

[nursedarry]

I got some amazing gifts in my Stocking at hd_seasons this year and I'll rec them as they go up on individual LJs.

THIS was fantabulous. I can't even begin to thank the author enough for reaching into my head and grabbing every effing thing I like and yanking it out to put it into this fic. It's forced-bonding but without the force. It's got snakey-talk, it's got the Malfoys, it's got a big cast, it's got hawt and awkward first-time smexing IN THE HOSPITAL WING! It's sensitive, it's angsty, it's got a lovely ending. When my husband gets home, I'm divorcing him and marrying ficreader76, because she knows me inside and out. Bless her, she's been reading and commenting on my fic for ages, and for that I love her. Now it's time to share that love. Do give it a chance if any of the above is your cup of tea.

What's stopping you? The minimum is 500 words AND you can use your hp_positions prompt for it too, if you're doing that this winter. GET OVER THERE! Spaces still available.


I also need to say a big bold THANK YOU for more Christmas goodies. arineat sent me a lovely card with the promise of a drabble, and the mod-tastic nicevenn sent me a spiffing Tom Felton mug, from which I'm drinking Lady Grey as we speak. THANK YOU! ♥


Tomorrow I'll be shouting at everyone about hd_remix, so you can all start hiding now - hee hee.

But for now, a poll. Since very few people read my Hols (the genre doesn't appeal to everyone), I don't expect anyone outside of those who know already to guess which is mine. But if you feel you must, have a go. Then go over to hd_holidays and read the damn thing! Oh, and if you guess right, you get a hearty "Well done!". That's it.

And, because I promised,
