It has been so long since I've made a properly fannish post. Today I was telling

egelantier a story and uh, accidentally wrote fic. And - here you have to pretend I'm whispering - it was Ryan Ross gen fic. Uh! Nevertheless, I may post it at some point in the future if I ever get over my shame over having written yet another really melodramtic, uh, thing.

Meanwhile, I have been doing what all fannish people do when they are bereft of an active fandom (I need a new fandom, guys :( ) - reading Harry Potter fic! Therefore I present: five of my all-time favourites.

( A lot of these are from my heyday in Harry Potter fandom in 2005. Also I read a lot of gen. )

'... or maybe from breaking into your tomb?' suggested Harry, and Dumbledore dabbed his eyes.
