Happened upon this in my walkabout through other people's memorified posts, and, for some reason, really like it. Wow. It's. The Italy thing. I think.

I need to write some stories set in my favourite places.

Hi again. Thanks for the links! Now that I'm home from work I can post some too.

Rabbit's fic (http://www.sugarquill.net/authors/rabbit.html) at Sugarquill.net has the only two stories I've read by her. They are both in progress. My favorite of the two - Yet Another Snape Meets the Dursleys Story is sorta dark. Harry is locked up and it borders on abuse how they are treating him - even it wasn't completely intentional by the Dursleys. If you like dark or character driven fic - or Snape this is interesting. Her other story - Balance is an unusual story about Hogwarts, how things get completely out of control during a fight against the dark side and to set things right Harry and Draco end up working together. It too is not finished.

Sugar Quill (http://www.sugarquill.net/AtE/AtEToC.html) is another writer I rec'd to you earlier. The story - After the End is not slash but has a Remus/Sirius thing going on that - to me really seems as if they are a couple. It's 26 epic chapters and not done. It's primarily H/G and R/H and yes, it's sappy and romantic. But, it's got depth and dark stuff going on too. Draco is in it, as are all the Weasleys.

amuse139 has a site that isn't updated anymore except for OliverPercy Improves - but I know her work from other fandoms and I think her writing is excellent. She stopped working on her Oliver stories and site - In a Dark Wood (http://alloliver.tripod.com/oliverwood.htm) because she discovered the Puppies and is now busily writing JoLa and TimberTrick and Choey fic.

As for type of stories - I often like best friends stuff. But sometimes it's the antagonists that have to work together that are best. Conflict and angst is always good in my bopl. Romance is ok - but I don't actively look for it the way I do a good, involved character piece that shows conflicted morals and ideals and has growth in the end. Not to much to ask now is it?! I also like dark stories where in a characters save one another - but no one is really all the happy - just better off now that they are together. Doesn't have to be a romantic pairing but can often be enemies forced into unusual circuimstances.

Sorry, I don't have really have much slash to rec. But I'll keep you posted on things I do find that are interesting if you find you like the three fics I rec'd. Thanks again! I'm off to read your recs.
