What a month!

[emmagrant01]

This was the first time I participated in merry_smutmas, and it was really a blast! I didn't read everything, though (I've honestly tried to read Snarry and it just does nothing for me) but here is a list of the fics I especially enjoyed, for whatever that's worth! ;-) They're in the order they were posted, and this list only covers the first half of December. I'm going to have to finish it later! :-P

What's on Your Mind (Remus/Bill/Sirius)
Cinnamon (Harry/Bill)
Faith of the Fallen (Harry/Remus)
Open Surrender (Draco/Harry)
Rocking the Boat (Harry/Ron)
Morning (Harry/Ron)
Twelve Days of Christmas (Remus/Harry)
Exorcism (Ron/Harry)

I must also mention Comfort and Joy (Harry/Draco/Ron), which was written for me! I still have no idea who the author is! I can't even manage a guess.

And speaking of guessing, I wonder if anyone can guess which fic I wrote? (It isn't listed above.) ;-)

I'm gonna take a punt and suggest that you wrote one of the fabulous Harry/Draco's on the list. If it wasn't Things That Seem (http://etc.slashcity.net/smutmas2004/thingsthatseem.html), then I have absolutely no idea. I have read most of them, but that one was truly my favourite!

I can't wait to find out who did what, and I am hoping and crossing my fingers I get a chance to participate next year (er, this year)!

I haven't yet read Things That Seem, though I keep seeing people rec it, so I need to get around to it! So no, that one wasn't mine. In fact, mine wasn't even H/D...

It wasn't yours?

*wonders* Gosh, it was very well-written. I enjoyed reading it. >_<

Now I shall go back to read more and guess.

Wow, thanks! I'm totally flattered that people thought I wrote it!

ooo! thanks for putting up this link, i hadn't even seen the story until just now and i ADORE it! kudos to whoever DID write it, though i'm sure, emma, that yours is just as good.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I'm not, but thanks for the kind words! ;-)

After I found that comm (I think, after you mentioned it, actually) I became quite addicted to it. Addicted in that "Yay! More short fics that I can finish before running off to do any number of errands/chores" sort of way. Some of the pieces were really well done.

It was fun to read fic by anonymous authors too, with no preconceptions! The quality level was really high, wasn't it?

[sciencegeek.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was nice to read them and not have notion on how the fic would be like based on the author. Also, there were a bunch of pairings that I normally don't read, which was nice.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's true too. I honestly didn't know there were so many good writers writing Harry/Ron! And Harry/Bill... *drools*

Wow, you didn't write a Harry/Draco. Okay, I haven't read them all yet. I must admit, as Harry/Draco is my favorite I went through and read all of the Harry/Draco first. Did you happen to write False Start? That one was Neville/Draco and I did read that one and really enjoy it.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Nope, not that one either! :-)
