    Black History Month: Essential Black Authors to Read | The Daily Show's List

    By toomanycurls

    One hallmark of any Black History Month is getting a reading list. More important than a reading list is knowing what people have thought of books or if they are planning to read any on a given list so:  Here is a list transcribed from Essential Black Authors to Read | The Daily Show. I'd love to know which people have read or are planning to read from this list or from any list on Black History Month.  STAMPED: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Ibram Kendi and Jason Reynolds  M

I am so incredibly thrilled to be able to announce the results of the second challenge I've hosted on FFT!

We hope you are as inspired by these women as we have been!   [A L I C E  B A L L] 1892-1916 Alice Ball (M.

1989 rankings (overall + fave lyric)

so first, i did a thing where i ranked both the song as a whole and my favorite lyric from each song, because i wanted to. i already did evermore, now i'm going to do 1989 even though i've already ranked it in my full taylor swift rankings. amusingly, some stuff has shifted position, and when i do everything together, i'm sure that some stuff will just be moved down in general because two new albums. 😂   by favorite lyric the water filled my lungs / i screamed so loud but no on

Woven Together

Woven Together This story will have you completely and utterly charmed. This story follows the Weasley Family and their beloved blanket through the good and bad times, the kids' childhood memories, their joys, overcoming fears, everything that life can throw at a family. It is all detailed in this piece. Courtney so beautifully paints the family dynamic of this Weasley, each chapter just feels so beautifully characterize that it could just be missing moments from canon events. The scen

for gold by @blackballet ...is just so massively interesting! I am so happy Catherine stumbled into my Review Thread some time ago and dropped this gem in!  Where to start?  I am that much into sports stuff, and so Quidditch just doesn't usually feature on my list of interests when it comes to reading fanfic. However, the stakes in this one are high, because England has managed to fight its way through to the World Cup with a decent chance at succes. And the way Catherine weaves t

Noir Challenge | results

Last summer I was hit with an intense yearning for some twisty plots, cynical protagonists, femmes fatales, and a touch of evil. It was a reasonable request, so I set a challenge to bring me all your anti-heroes, danger, and corruption, to show me characters with tragic flaws in a world that's a bleak and lonely place. And boy did you guys deliver (in fact, the postman had to ring me twice). I got 7 wonderful entries: lingering darkness by @grumpy cat — A gritty and glitt

intersectional feminism

Hi everyone! As you may know, March is Women's History Month, focused around celebrating the achievements of women through history and in the present. This month, I've been reflecting a lot on intersectional feminism, which is a brand of feminism that embraces intersectionality, a term coined by Kimberle Crenshaw, or the understanding that people experience multiple forms of inequality (and privilege) at the same time. Intersectional feminism aims to center the voices of those that experien

The Fifth House series by Ameripuff

I’m not totally sure what you’re doing with your life if not reading these fics, but I’m recently obsessed and I’m going to shout about them for a minute.   The Fifth House and The Prophecy by @Ameripuff (What are we calling this, The Fifth House series? The Pathfinder series?)   What I really love about these fics is that they evoke all that YA speculative fiction nostalgia that sucked most of us into HP in the first place. You’ll see a lot of things that parallel the H

Ships you never knew you needed

(No, it still isn't Friday. Time has become utterly meaningless.) I'm here to tell you about some fics that feature ships that may never have crossed your mind but you're going to want to read -- from the inexplicably rare to the seemingly improbable.   Minerva McGonagall/ Abraxas Malfoy illecebrous by @Unotterable (la_topolina) Noelle has authored a trio of one-shots about this ship that has now come to be known affectionately as McMalfoy.

Harry Potter AU's

What is an alternate universe really? Is it a mishmash of two different universes? Is it taking canon events and retelling one characters story differently throughout them? Or is it removing certain elements (like magic) and transplanting those characters into a different story genre? Or is it just playing with characters in different professions and/or how they meet and eventually fall in love? Actually it's all of these things! And here are some delightful stories that deserve all the recognit

Mystery/Crime Recommendations

I totally stumbled upon these three stories at different points in time since joining the FFT. But they are all AMAZING if you are looking for stories that feature a well plotted mystery with morally ambiguous characters whose pasts are slowly revealed to us as present events unfold. So if you’re looking for something that fits all of THAT, these stories got you covered. The Color of Violets by @kuusi palaa→ Abby creates such likeable characters that grab you from the beginning.

Project Azkaban by Unwritten Curse

Project Azkaban by @Unfrozen Fox   This novel takes place in the mid 2020s with several of the Weasley-Potter clan's children starting their training as Unspeakables in the Department of Mysteries and specifically working on a project that has been in the works since just before the end of the Second Wizarding War in 1998. Gina's love of science fiction shows in this fic with only three chapters currently posted; discussions of ethics, morals, and basic scientific reasoning on whether

stranger things by blackballet

stranger things by @blackballet   This origin story of Charlotte Malkin is probably one of the most (virtual) page-turner novels I've read in a long time that not only keeps the reader engaged, but it continues to throw our dear Charlotte further into mortal (and moral) peril as her sixth year at Hogwarts goes on as Voldemort is also beginning his first rise to power. To write a good mystery, you have to be very precise in dropping certain hints and clues to the puzzle solution through
