Fic Rec Meme stolen from [profile] castoffstarter

Recommend six fics on your journal. Go! They could be any six, or your six all-time favorites, or six recent discoveries. Or if you want, follow the list: 

1) A fic with your favorite pairing: Keeping Christmas on the Death Train by Anise 
2) A fic with a pairing you don’t normally read: I’m going to take the liberty of recommending two different stories (and two different pairings) here. Diminished by Lady Rhiyana and The Painted Past by Adelaide_e 
3) An old fic: Desperado by Davesmom 
4) A new fic: Draconis and Ginvera by cinnamon badge 
5) A fic by someone you don’t know: Hallway Encounters by Pamie884 
6) A fic by someone you know: Feast of Fools by Mynuet

Originally I was going to put some sort of description next to each story, but I don't think I will.  I've enjoyed all of them, give 'em a shot.  The only thing I'll add is that the fics for #2 both go against D/G, so Fire & Ice purists will not want to read those; and the fics for #1 and #4 both have some NC-17 moments.

I have read it, and enjoyed it although the plot's gotten a bit convoluted. There is a lot of nice smut. The author is GD-7 or something similar. I'll tell you the truth why I never recommend that story, the author irritates me. She gets very rude with people who give her constructive criticism, and her comments always have this air of 'How dare you question anything I do. Haven't I written this epic length story just for you people? You should bow down to my greatness.' The story is good, though.

Yeah, i agree with u completely. the author of 'Flight of the Thestrals' GD-7, is a really good writer... but the concept of accepting a compliment at its face value, is something that she never quite got.

As much as i enjoyed the story and her imagination, there were so many twists to that story with so many sub-plots, the main story line got totally lost toward the end. pity it was abandoned as well – I would have loved to see what happened to the many characters she invented.

I don't think 'Flight' is really abandoned, she's just working on 'Pre-Flight' for the time being. I haven't bothered with the prequel since I've gotten so tired of the author's attitude, but I still have an alert set up to tell me if she updates 'Flight'. Her OCs were very inventive, to say the least. And I never would have thought Ron/Blaise/Pansy would be so appealing.

Since i am not registered at FF, and if it's not too much of a problem, do drop me a line if this ever updates. i would love to see how she ends this one.

Thanks!
