Oh, man, do I have some fic for you. From the "tee hee" to the "I'll be in my bunk variety." Pay no attention to the fandom or pairings. Pay attention to the deft writing. Srsly.
From
entrenous88 comes a Gunn/Xander fic. No, wait! See, I think Gunn is as manly a man that ever manned. I'm not really a Xander slasher, either. So if you're like me, just...TRUST ME. This is dialogue you'd kill to be able to write. Hilarious and rather chaste. Did I mention dialogue to die for? Stake Out. (I need to just say how much I love the idea of an actual stake out. The buddy cop concept is one of my faves.)
From
floweringjudas is another HP fic. We all know that fandom is insane. So I'll sift through the crazy and bring you absolutely terrific plot and porn. Laura is TIGHT with her storytelling, y'all. Dark, adult, incest, backstory as to why factions despised each other really . Severus, Regulus, Sirius. Sisyphus
From
moosesal comes one of the raunchiest, naughtiest fics I've read. I have no idea who these people are. Trust me when I say I don't care. Het. Fisting. Good lord the smut. Such A Sweet Pussy. And good morning with that title! It's... about a cat. :D (In the words of Steve Martin: that cat was the best fuck I ever had.)
From
slasheuse is more Regulus/Sirius, and really. I know. Incest Is Wrong. Holy crap, is it hot in fic. I mean wrong! Wrong. Sophie is ridiculously good at getting the nuances between siblings. Warning: Regulus is 14 at the time of this fic, and this is pure hatecest. O_O Pride.
Oh, hey! You probably need a palette cleanser of humor, right? Possibly some crack with a helping of crossover? Good thing I wrote two such things yesterday. (And again -I don't DO crossovers. Except for how I did.) Anakin Skywalker and Angel arguing over who has the worst love life while sitting in Sacred Heart (AtS/SW/Scrubs) and Charles Gunn and Chris Turk discussing their bosses, J.D. POV (AtS/Scrubs) (I prefer the second one, personally.)
I've got two more prompts I'm working on - because crack is fun. And
cherusha wrote PotC!! I'll be on that like white on rice later. She can write snark like nobody's business, and her drunken Jack Sparrow is gleefully debauched. \o/

Date: 2007-02-13 10:28 pm (UTC)Those fics I linked to are by writers that are actively involved in some of the elite writing comms for HP, so checking their user info would be the first place I'd look!
Posting this here in case anyone else was wondering. Sorry, M!
Date: 2007-02-15 03:36 pm (UTC)Okay, first off, the essentials: The Pit of Voles (http://www.fanfiction.net) (quality: not so much, quantity: hell yes), Fiction Alley (http://www.fictionalley.org) (which makes me break out in hives), WitchFics (http://www.witchfics.org) (if you like novel-length Snape/Hermione), the Sugar Quill (http://www.sugarquill.net) for if you like a lot of Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny, and I'm not sure where to find Harry/Hermione but that's what you get for asking a Secret R/Hr Shipper how to find HP fic.
In this fandom, pr0n outweighs all other types of fic. It's what you get when your fanbase is largely twentysomething women. They like to make the characters kiss. ...At this point, I'd say slash beats out het in popularity, as well, but I think there's been a het insurgence (har) lately. As well as gen. People're reading more diverse things.
Probably your best bet is to go with watcher comms/journals. These are communities where people keep track of specific character-centric fic and art, and post digests of them weekly or daily for general consumption. There's my favourite,
A few other ones that may be of interest:
There are also daily news digests like
And I think that's enough to be going on with.
