What about all of Procrastinator-starting2moro (on Fanfiction.net) stuff?

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/692484/

oh yeah, I've read all her stuff...but y'know its really hard to rec only some of her stuff...I'm glad you reminded me. I'll put her profile link here as all her fics are SO fantastic! :D
I agree! Everything she writes is fantastic (and I get to read some of it before everyone else :D) Your rec list is getting to be a good length! Everyone loves a good rec list to refer to :)
Too true!! You get to read her stuff before? Oh well, those are the perks of being a Beta..;)
Yeah, I won't have to shuffle through hundreds of fanfics or authors too to find the one I want to re-read....*grins*

meringue_kiss

Going along the same lines, what about charmingly-holly on FanFiction.Net?

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/751583/

[Although procrastinator-starting2moro's work is brilliant too]
Ok I added that author too along with some other ones. :D

I love your LJ layout :D

Oh wow, I haven't read HP fanfic in a long time b/c I kept finding horrible stories, but your recommedations for L/J stories look fantastic! I can't wait to read those. :) Thanks so much!

Btw, isn't Lust or Love completed? And do you know if You Can't Hurry Love is updated regularly?

Re: I love your LJ layout :D

Oh yeah, I'm sure you'll enjoy reading these. :D I've got a few more recs, but I've yet to find the links...
Yes, Lust or Love is completed...should I mark the ones who are completed? And well, I think YCHL is updated but its not been for a few weeks but I don't think the author's abandoned it...so don't worry! :D
Thanks for the recs! This is so wonderful, I'm actually linking this post on my journal for my flist!

*hugs*
Glad you like it! Y'know I was thinking of doing this or a link time so the links could be handy whenever I got the fancy to read that fic...*grins*
And thanks for pimpimg it at your lj ;)
That's amazing, you've covered my favorites... all of them (practically)!
I do have way more H/G stories but that's only because they're my vice ;)
That's funny that people were "reminding" you who your favorite authors are, I'm sure you've forgotten :P
Oh glad you liked it! I'll keep adding to it as I find more good ones. :D
You have good H/G recs?? Can you suggest some?
I could add it here and then I would have more good fanfic to read...I have read some good H/G ones too but at the moment I can't remember the names.
That goes with the authors too when I was reminded of procastinator-starting2moro, that made me think of other authors too. :D
You asked for it :P
Here are 73 H/G stories that I loved. The majority of them are one-shots but I'm pretty sure they're all excellent (I haven't had the chance to re-read them in a while...)Anyway, here:
http://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewuser.php?action=favstor&uid=345
^__^ Wow! I'll definitly look through them! :D
And I added a few authors too. Because choosing from their fics is a hard job to do.

Price Of Love

One of my all time favourite stories is 'Price of Love' by RogueSugah', it's an incredible 80 chapter fic about Ron and Hermione (and that's not including side-stories). Here's the link

http://www.checkmated.com/bedchamber.php?story=925

It's an NC-17 so I don't know if that's okay with you - you could probably just search the 'Checkmated' site if the link doesn't work becuase they usually ask you to sign in to read NC-17 stories.

Well tell me what you think!

~K

Re: Price Of Love

Hehe...yeah, I've got accsess to the Bedchamber section. I'll add it here!
Thanks for the link. :D

Hi all!

pagine piuttosto informative, piacevoli =)

Re: joputol

additions:

draco/ginny: our winter, by jade okelani and serpent's bride (i forget the author)

james/lily: arrival unexpected

draco/hermione: we'll always have paris


these are a must read, especially if you enjoy any one of the above pairings. the writing's sophisticated and sometimes unparallel when compared to all the other fics available out there. seriously. check them out.
