kennahijjaThere was a minor earthquake last night around 3am, which shook the computer and scared the cat quite a bit.
My Niffler term is at an end, which is a good thing because it's been quite a bit of work, and a bad thing because it was great fun. Although I was slow at the beginning, I managed to finish with 16 recs for four months, one per week, *phew*.
Did a table with a breakdown according to characters and genres and so on, should anybody be interested:
Title -- Author -- Rating -- Protagonist(s) -- Genre
The Five Steps -- ari -- PG -- Harry, Remus -- gen
Blood Will Tell -- Harloprillalar -- R -- Sirius/Lucius -- slash
A Half a Conquest -- Arkady -- R -- Tom/Albus -- slash
Fantastic Beasts: a Book Review -- Mary Borsellino -- PG -- Sirius -- gen
Fractured Triangle -- Fyre -- R -- Hermione/Lucius, trio -- het
Over Tea -- Dementordelta -- R -- Harry/Snape, Minerva -- slash
Take Up Serpents -- Rusalka -- PG-13 -- Tom -- gen
Welcome to the Dollhouse -- Lilith Morgana -- R -- Snape -- gen
Surprise -- Xandria -- R -- Harry/Lucius -- slash
Blood Magic -- GatewayGirl -- -- R -- Harry, Snape -- gen/het/slash
Midnight Conversations -- Thistlerose -- R -- MWPP, Lily -- slash/het
Out of the Bag -- Bernice Russell -- G -- Snape, Minerva -- gen
Once Upon a Time, in Egypt -- Josan -- PG-13 -- Snape, Bill -- gen
Fidelius/Secret Keeper -- tradescant -- R -- Harry/Snape -- slash
World's End -- bruno -- PG-13 -- Voldemort, Snape -- gen
To Serve a Purpose -- Dark Twin -- R -- Remus/Sirius -- slash
I knew three of the authors I niffled, got to know three more after stumbling over the fic niffled, exchanged a review with another, and don't know the other nine.
Seven Snapefics out of 16 was *definitely* too much, but there suddenly seemed to be far too many good ones floating around...
Nine angst fics and ten R-Ratings is a lot, too, but heck, that's my kind of thing.
I'm proud of reccing as many gen as slash fics, and really should have looked into more het!
And I feel kind of guilty for not Niffling even one H/D fic, and nothing at all Draco-centric, but that's perhaps only fair after doing a H/D overkill in my first Niffler term...
Oh, and there were two stories that broke my heart because I could *not* Niffle them:
Stealing Harry by Sam Vimes (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
copperbadge) [Sirius/Remus bringing up young Harry, R]
--> Sam Vimes has been Niffled three times already, which is the limit.
The Best Revenge by Scattered Logic (scatteredlogic) [Lucius/Hermione, NC-17]
--> NC-17 rating (while I agree with that restriction, the story itself is less racy than a lot I've seen under a R-Rating, which made it painful to pass up...

Re: I win!
Date: 2004-12-09 10:52 pm (UTC)Yes, I was really hoping I'd get another chapter out before Christmas, but it's not looking likely now. Maybe if I force myself to sit and write this weekend, but it depends whether my head will co-operate.
Now, I will go edit the 'prequel' to 'Dying of the Light'. ;)

I had to edit out '[info]' anyway. :) And you're far from being the first to use that misspelling. Trust me to pick a name that's so easy to mistype - I have endless trouble with my real name (firstname and surname)!
