So, I'm having a bit of writer's block, and some trouble motivating myself to get back at it. As you fellow writers know, feedback is critical to keep you going. I'd really love any insights you all could offer. Thanks!
Where the Wild Things Are takes place after Order of the Phoenix, focuses chiefly on British faery folklore.
Oh, and it also witnesses Hogwarts' first ever Career Fair.

Yes, this is for real: as a mod, I have decided to revive this D/G fic discussing community. I hope all of you find the time to read the story and comment- it would be wonderful to discuss it and hear your opinion on this.
After all, this community is trying to provide D/G fans with new, interesting and good fics; or maybe you thought a fic lost and have now the chance to read it again.
Enjoy!

( Can Anyone Help Me Think of a Title? )
Author's Note: I really, really, really need a title for this fic. If anyone could help me come up with a title, that would be so awesome. And the story will not be told in order. For instance, the prologue is where the story really ends, and the rest of the chapters are about how they got there. And I do plan on writing a sequel.

Hey, I just joined ^^
My D/G train de-railed a couple of years ago (I got into Sentinel Slash, followed by Queer as Folk). Anyways, I'm back and I was wondering if anyone could rec me some really good D/G. I've been searching for the past week for something. *tear*
I'll read anything. Please help ^^. The only thing is that there has to be good grammar, and a decent plot, unless it is just sex ^^.

Ok, once again, sorry for the lack of posts! All of the mods have just been busy what with school/exams, but hopefully we can get this comm. back up and running.
Here's my rec for this week:
Title: Winter of the Roses
Author: aloof_adrift
One Shot/Chaptered: One shot
Summary: It was, as I remember, the winter of the roses. Each day would dawn, and each sun would set, and I would put one more rose in the cracked glass vase on the table beside my bed. There, I would gaze at the roses, until I fell back into the blissful world of innocent sleep. I would dream about the roses, and remember what they were for. No one had ever given me a rose before, and I held onto those roses like a babe holds onto its mother. I needed the roses, just as much as I needed him." A D/G one-shot
