HP: 'Just One Little Change' by Cave Canem
*very* good TimeTravel. Wish it had been longer, but still a great read, especially the Snape dialogue.
HP: 'In Vino Veritas' by McKay
Harry/Neville
HP: most of the stories from the Neville Fuh-Q Fest
HP: 'Lucifer Must Have Wept So' by Meatball
Snape/Hagrid
HP: 'Courtship Dance Series' by Sylvadin (part 6 - the longest so far - isn't archived yet, it was posted to the Snape_Hagrid Y!G)
Snape/Hagrid
HP: 'Shoe Box' (and additional stuff) by Kimagure
Remus/Bill. Hmmmm...
TNG: 'My Fair Jeanne' by Ruth Gifford
reread. One of the first gender-bender stories I've read. Picard/Q. Wonderful, wonderful story. Highly recommended, even if you're just a little bit interested in P/Q slash.
HP: 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered' by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) musesfool
Remus/Sirius, James/Lily
HP: 'A Biddable Man' by Laura Beth
HP: 'The Snape-Gossford Curse' by Sentinel Cat
unfinished
HP: 'The Smallest Slytherin' by Rebecca Webb
Didn't quite make it to the end.
HP: 'Quid Pro Quo' by Aucta Sinistra
HP: 'Finder's Fee' by Gateway Girl
HP: 'Visit to Floor Four' by Mark
Neville(/Harry)
HP: 'As You Wish' by darth_stitch
SS/HP Princess Bride Spoof. Unfinished.
HP: 'The Eumenides' by Obsessed One
HP: 'Like That' by Juliette
HP: Various Snape Filks
HP: 4th wave of the HP/SS FF (you need the password, it's available here)
I might or might not do an annotated list of all the stories once I've read all of them. So far, the results are mixed: I've found 2 or 3 really good ones, but I've also stopped reading 4 or 5 after a couple of paragraphs. Also, some are only 5-10K, which for me is extremely unsatisfying.
ladyjaida has written absolutely hilarious fandom summaries, you should go and read them, whether you're active in these or not:
Harry Potter, Weiss Kreuz, Lord of the Rings
Sharpe's, Gensoumaden Saiyuki, Pirates of the Caribbean
Good Omens, Get Backers, Rurouni Kenshin, The Prophecy, RPS (mostly LOTRips)
screamingly funny.
in the "Non-fic, but brilliant" category, iamsab writes about about Londo Mollari of the House Mollari. *falls back, once again, into the B5 love*
Also, this picture (by Yoflam) is brilliant. (Snape. And ... "Harry").
[I think I'm missing some stuff. If I remember, I'll add it in the next update]

HP: 'True Lies' by Kaiz
6 parts - scroll forward through the posts. HL/Brimstone XO. *weeps* Why does this have to be an abandoned WiP?
HP: 'A Night To Remember' by Abbey Road
mpreg. *watches everyone run away screaming*
HP: 'The Rider' by Minx
interesting pov (just not quite my pairing)
HP: random thingie by iibnf
made me snarf, and made me want a sequel thingie.
rackhamrose has a wonderful challenge ("Write a confession about love - don't include the word 'love'), that resulted in some very good X, YnM and Utena fic. Links are in the comments.
HP: 'Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent' by ClueGirl
I've seen a number of glowing recs for this, but ... dunno. Didn't work for me. I usually like AUs, and don't mind dark, but this... for some reason, misses me completely.
HP: 'Untitled Dark Snapledore Fic' by ntamara
dead WiP.
HP: 2 unfinished snippets (one Petunia, one Snape) by musesfool
I would *love* to see more of the 2nd one. Well, the first one, too, but the Snape one would be interesting
HP: 'Rumours' by Drake of Dross
re-read. Wonderfully funny (but does have a squickly scene in the middle).
HP: 'Truth or Dare' by FluffyLlama
wonderful and hot. want more.
HP: 'Undone' by Rose Rovente
BtVS: 'Mine Eyes Dazzle' by musesfool
spoiler for AtS 5x12. Xander visits LA. I adore this to pieces.
SV: 'Redshift
sequel to 'Negative Space' (found at same URL). I like this AU.
BtVS: 'Gilesficathon', run by wolfling
I've started to read my way through this, will continue with the rest tomorrow.

HP: 'Scars' by Nicolae
HP: 'Ascension' by malfoypatriach
HP: 'Adjustments' by Nikita
mpreg - readable mpreg, but it's an unwarned-for WiP, with a "there's more to the story, but first I need lots and lots of feedback" - which pretty much guarantees that the author goes on my "never ever feedback this person" list.
Also caught up with all the communities listed in the UserInfo.

I spent most of my time Thu - Sun working my way through my email backlog - and when I say backlog, I mean about 80% of all emails received since Jan 2001. I haven't managed to clean out my inbox once since then (and I've been on more than 100 MLs on average all this time), so I've spent most of that time cross-eyed and with a headache from hell, and not reading anything else but subject lines and maybe quickly browsing posts. Not that I'm finished now, all I've done is weed out all non-fiction posts. I still have many many messages of fanfiction to weed through, and decide whether to save or delete. But that can be a background task now.
Today I went back to reading with a vengeance:
HP: 'Shelter the Foe' by switchknife
Remus/Draco
HP: 'Way of the World' by McKay
Snape/Lupin. WiP. Lupin has left the Wizarding World. Snape shows up on his doorstep, wanting to learn how to do the same.
HP: 'An Ordinary World' by Zillah
same plot and pairing as above, but this time, *not* a humor story
HP: 'Baphomet I' by Ptxy
stopped in the first quarter
HP: 'Stealing Harry' by Sam
must rec when finished. 17 parts so far. Navigate the story by editing the filename from 'secret1.htm' to 'secret2.htm', etc.
HP: 'A Year in the Life' by Sam
Lupin/McGonagall! *love*
HP: 'Conjugal Visit' by _geekie_
Lucius/Narcissa *squee*
HP: 'A Night To Remember' by Abbey Road
mpreg. Didn't finish, but it's still on the ebook.
WK: 'Noose' by Viridian5
after Glühen. Yoji doesn't remember his past, but it's come back to get him. *YUM*
HP: 'Persuasion' by McKay
HP: 'Blood for a Parched Tongue' by amanuensis1
Snape/Black
BtVS: 'The Waking' by Mad Poetess
Giles. ... just read it.
AtS: 'Connection' by nikitangel
spoilers for Angel 5x11. Thus no summary - but it has Faith.
BtVS/AtS: 'Beg to Differ' by Rabid/Raeann
Spike/Buffy/Angel
PetShop of Horrors fanfic by raison d'etat
*YUM*
HP: 'Shattered' by Nym
*finally* finished. I've seen people reccing it up and down my friendslist today, so I'm looking forward to going off to bed with this story on my ebook.
Good night!

HP: 'Oscillate Wildly' by Marks
HP: 'Seasons of Mist' by McKay
it's a soap-opera-ish story posted 3 times a week, up to part 25 now. I don't do well with WiPs or serials, I prefer to read stuff in one large gulp, but I finally decided I wanted to see what has been written so far. Ended up printing it out at work so I could read it on the tram to uni, and then home.

HP: 'A Night Alone' by WishfulDreamer
HP: 'Give and Take' by Marks
HP: 'An unconventional Relationship' by srtcfics. ObsessiveCompulsive!Harry, but slightly too nice Snape for my taste.
HP: everything else posted in srtcfics. Some interesting pairings, including Harry/Hagrid.
GW: 'Velvet' by Kumiko and Kat Reitz
Extreme slave AU. reread.
GW (and others): 'Gundam Street Chronicles' by Kat Reitz
another extreme AU with 24/7 master/slave and slave auctions. another reread.
Sherlock Holmes: 'Knowledge' by brancher
HP: 'Curiosity Temporarily Replaced the Cat' by marksykins
Hermione/Draco. And there's a reason I'm listing them in this order... *g*
a bunch of GW, WK and YYH stories from this page. (If you read WK and haven't read Truth's stories yet, do so now)
LotR: 'Sublimation' by musesfool
really well-done Aragorn/Arwen. Arwen always knows when Aragorn takes a new lover.
HP: 'A Slip of the Tongue' by musesfool
Sirius/Remus
HP: 'Enough' by musesfool
ouch. ouchouchouch. but brilliant.
Firefly: 'Temptation Waits' by musesfool
Mal/River
HP: 'Such Corruption out of Such Sweet Things' by musesfool
Narcissa, Bellatrix, Lucius
HP: 'Thy Sensual Fault' by musesfool
Remus/Sirius, Remus/James
Saiyuki: 'Honeymoon' by Hth
this has to be my favorite Saiyuki story. re-read, again.
HP: 'The Fire and the Rose II' by Abby and Domina
was looking forward to this sequel all year, and then I got yanked out of HP and into LotR 2 days before it finished posting. Finally got back to it. I like the first part better, but then, I *do* have a huge genderbender kink.
Also read bunch of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) hp100 drabbles. (I should probably just list all the communities where I read pretty much anything on the info page. *off to edit info*)

'Extremes' by Kristine Kathryn Rush
finished it today. liked it. Will have to see what other books the author has.
HP: 'Invisible To See' by FayJay
Draco story (so far). Haven't finished yet, but hey, I'm actually *reading* a story with Draco. 600K. Hmmm... *goes to bed with ebook*
rest of my free time was spent creating my own fanfiction with The Sims (found skins for YnM, Saiyuki, Fruits Basket, Gravitation, Ai no Kusabi and FAKE yesterday. Am now back to creating more X skins for myself)

'The Disappeared' by Kristine Kathryn Rush
read the whole book on the tram, going from home to work to uni to home. Liked it: SF and police procedures and alien aliens. Looking forward to the sequel.
no fanfic today: left home at 6:15, got home at 9:15, falling into bed now.
