I guess I'm just really in mourning that the sequel to Lust over Pendle isn't around yet. I really don't seen Draco/Snape--at least not in a good way.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And no, no, no article I've ever read addressed what I think are the most important issues raised by fic. I think it's doable, and it ought to be done, but I haven't seen it. That's because people are stupid.
This is a true thing, RL. There are important issues- like narrative authourity and the granting/not grating/abuse thereof- and maybe I should try and write about those things. But I can't be bothered, and I wouldn't do it very well anyway.

Is there a link to the PolyRec site? Searching Yahoo brought up some strange polymer sites that I don't think are right.

And it's banned by my work system. Lovely.

Well that sucks. It's on Slashcity.net so that may be why.

Yeah, I imagine that was a big ol' red flag. Pout! Well, I can always read LoP again, I guess.

I need to read LoP again. I haven't read much HP fiction, but I know have a great fondness for Draco/Neville.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
And it's banned by my work system. Lovely.
Whoo! We're obscene!
A selection of Draco recs pulled from PolyRecs:
The Eleventh Doorkeeper, by lady of shalott.
Nestra: An eerie, nebulous second-person story. Apparently Draco took a chance that he shouldn't have. (Note: There are prequels to this which I haven't read yet. There's a sequel which is excellent, but entirely too dark for my taste. I think the story stands alone just fine.)
A Scrap of Humanity, by yr awen.
Nestra: Several years after the war with Voldemort, Draco's called back to Hogwart's. Lovely Draco POV, lovely Snape moments.
Lyrical Summations, by L.C.
Nestra: Snape and Draco. "There's been no advantage-taking here, except perhaps that of the world over Draco, and there certainly doesn't seem to be a law against *that.*"
And Resonant's newest, which is Draco/Snape:

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I think "people are stupid" is a little... strong. I find myself wanting to pull in the discussion over in Literary on whether or not it's okay for white authors to write in a non-white voice, etc., though.
