Title: To See in the Dark
Gaining Access: Unlocked at Catch My Snitch
Author: St Margarets
Length/Word Count: 5500
Alternate Links to Fic/Art: None that I can find.
Pairing: Harry/Ginny
Rating: NC-17
Author's Website: Her non-explicit fiction can be found at her journal: stmargarets. Also archived at Catch My Snitch, Phoenix Song, and Sink Into Your Eyes.
Why everyone should read this: With well-written smut, humor, and a little bit of conflict, there's something for everyone when Harry and Ginny are locked in the dark in George's storeroom. St Margarets knows Harry and Ginny so well and and writes them realistically. Despite it's steaminess, this is no polished sex-o-rama between two ludicrously skilled teenagers. Harry and Ginny are fumbling, sweet, and still learning about physical intimacy together.

( Excerpt )

A little early for Christmas, but this fic is my favorite of all time. :)

Title: Yorkshire Pudding
Gaining Access: Open
Author: karina4
Word Count: 14,100
Alternative Links to Fic: none
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: Teen
Author's Website: Karina4 can be found on fanfiction.net on Here. Also, if you have a yahoo account, her yahoo page is Here

Why everyone should read this: Like a sleeping kitten, or a surprise flower delivered to my desk, this fic has proven time and time again to be an instant mood lifter, and not just around the holidays. Set two days before Christmas, Harry and Draco have a chance meeting in a grocery story aisle and fight over, you guessed it, Yorkshire Pudding. Hilarity and heart-break ensue in this delightful, charming, and utterly enchanting fic. This fic is non-magical AU, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. But really, even if you never liked a non-magical fic before, this may change your mind. Please give the author much love!

Title: Tears Dripping
Gaining Access: Easily accessible on deviantart
Artist: Verdokai
Alternate Links to Art: unsure
Pairing: Ron/Hermione
Rating: PG     
Author's Website: Art by Verdokai
Why everyone should read this: Well not only is it well drawn and colored and awesome to just look at, its a beautifully drawn scene from Half Blood Prince that was stolen from us in the movies! Therefore, we have to get as much of this scene as we can in fan art. This artist draws a wonderful Ron and you should totally go to the gallery and check out all of the other things this artist has done! Very talented person :)

Title: Breaking Wind
Gaining Access: Unlocked on TQP
Author: I'm pretty sure its almond_joyz
Length/Word Count: <1000
Alternate Links to Fic/Art: at her fic journal
Pairing:Gen with hint or Ron/Hermione
Rating: PG-13 for swear words
Author's Website:  Stories from the college-rule notebook
Why everyone should read this: When I came across this story, most of the things being posted were depressing post-war stories, or totally non epilogue compliant stories, and I was sick of both at the moment. When I read this I just laughed so hard I almost did what Ron did in the story too :) It was a wonderful rare glimpse at the friendship and tom foolery that the Trio got up to in the tent during the Horcrux hunt. It couldn't have all been gloom and doom, they had to cut up a little. I love the Ron and Harry friendship banter here. Yes it is a bit juevenile, but they WERE teenagers, remember? Very typical teenager behavior! And Harry totally notices Ron checking out Hermione.

Title: To Conquer Her (water dragon)
Gaining Access: You need to register to view RS stories at OWL
Author: phoenix_fancies
Length/Word Count: 69,312
Alternate Links to Fic/Art: To Conquer Her at Granger Enchanted (sapphire_phoenix)
Pairing: Draco/Hermione
Rating: RS (NC-17)
Author's Website: water dragon's profile at OWL
Why everyone should read this:

It was my birthday yesterday, and this is my present to you. Creative writing, hot smut, a stubborn Hermione, and a thoroughly wicked Draco.

( teaser )

Sounds like every other MLC you've ever read, right? Not so much. Keep reading. Broken wand. Bonding tattoo. A colony of Mages and several other surprises (and did I mention the smut?) await you in "To Conquer Her." If we're very lucky, there will even be a sequel soonish.

Maybe by my birthday next year?

Due to mitigating circumstances (hello not!swine flu!) we are extending the deadline for accepting newsletter editor applications until Monday, Nov. 16. We also wanted to take the opportunity to give a short primer on how we create the newsletter in case there are individuals who are interested in applying but are hesitant because they don't know the process.

As an editor, your job is to scan the newsletter watchlist - tw_watch- for items that qualify for inclusion in the newsletter. The watchlist is a dummy LJ that has friends list comprised of individuals and communities who participate in fandom. Each link is then dropped into its appropriate category on the newsletter. There are several ways in which to actually construct the newsletter and each editor has their own preference. Some brave souls hand-code and create an lj post, others use a template and client approach, typically a saved Semagic file. In addition, there is an Excel spreadsheet created by a former editor with macros built in so you can merely copy and paste and let Excel generate the format.

What items you link are based on criteria set forth in the editor guidelines. We are an inclusive newsletter and link fic, discussion, art, icons, etc. Our criteria for linking are broad and only call in "editorial prerogative" in rare cases, typically when a fic header does not contain enough information to create a link or if an post is not substantive. For example - an episode reaction consisting simply of "I loved it!" would probably not get linked while an episode reaction with more substance would.

As an editor you will become a member of the editorial community satellite_five where we come together to discuss issues and concerns and, on occasion, effect policy. All editors, regardless of status, have full participation rights at the community.

If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to leave a comment or email me at scarlettagain@gmail.com. If you would like to apply for an editor position, leave a comment at this post.

Thank you!

Title: Shift
Author: curia_regis
Length/Word Count: 1400
Alternate Links to Fic/Art: Originally posted at Weasley Fest
Pairing: Ron/Pansy
Rating: NC-17
Author's Website: Fic is archived at journal, access through tags
Why everyone should read this: Post-epilogue, Ron/Pansy is ripe for writing infidelity fics. This one, in which Ron is unable to stop comparing Hermione, his wife, with Pansy, his lover, really captures both relationships. Simultaneously hot and sad, it's a lovely depiction of people who are still trying to work out what they want.


( Excerpt includes sexual references )

Author: Sansa now libby_drew
Length/Word Count: 3,100 Words

Author's Website:  http://thetwobroomsticks.slashcity.net/
Why everyone should read this:  I love this fic simply because it is funny and super hot and it makes you smile from beginning to end.
