Bat Stitch Crazy Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 August Story of the Month Nominations How it works: This thread is for you to nominate your favorite stories to be recognized as the HPFT Story of the Month. Seconding isn't necessary as all stories will move on to the voting round. Mid month, a prefect will post a voting poll with the stories that received the most votes. Don't worry about having to rush. You'll have about 10 days to read the stories and vote on your favorite! We will announce the winner on the first of the month. The winner will receive a cool prize!

Vilja Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Title: Hope Author: Jo Raskoph Link(s) to story With Rating: (T) Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: I found this story when looking for a physical disability piece to review during the final exams, and it had a huge impression on me. (As you can imagine I was rushing with the reviews to get what was required, and still this story made me pause and think.) It is a Hannah/Neville from Hannah's perspective and it is about her wanting to have a child, and all the difficulties it poses to women when pregnancy doesn't come as it should. I cannot really say why it is so beautiful, but the way it described the problem deeply touched me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria_anne Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Title: Skewed Toward Truth Author: MuggleMaybe Link(s) to story With Rating: HPFT (M) Warnings (if applicable): Substance abuse Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: Renee wrote this during our final exams, and it is absolutely amazing. Renee never disappoints, but there was something about this self-discovery story that I fell in love with. Her descriptions are beautiful as always, and she writes a wonderful Alicia exploring her sexuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the characters feel so real and I found myself getting completely drawn in to every little detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShazaLupin Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Title: The last thing on her mind Author: Dojh167 Link(s) to story With Rating: M Warnings (if applicable): Violence Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: This is a great story, although totally heartbreaking as well so be prepared! Sam does an amazing job of writing Lily, and showing us what things look like from her p.o.v! I loved it, and it's such an amazing story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tanda Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Title:Harry Potter and the Shaggy Dog Author:pookha Link(s):hpft (M) Warnings (if applicable): Sexual Assault, Sexual Content, Slavery, Substance Abuse, Violence Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?:From the start, I got excited after a long time since I read the excellent Auror's tale last time at hpft. The interrogating scene is terrific! I couldn't stop reading in breathless excitement.The last scene reminded me of Scottish fairy tale like "Tam Lin". It's scary but fantastic at the same time. You can enjoy many action scenes with full of mystery through HP fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydearfoxy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Title: The Blue Ashwinder Author: Beeezie Link(s) to story With Rating: +here (T) Warnings (if applicable): violence Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: I was lucky enough to stumble upon this story during house cup shenanigans, and I LOVE it! Of course, I'm familiar with several of Branwen's Next Gen stories, and this is in that same universe, so it was extra fun with that context. But regardless, Scorpius has such a great and relatable personality in this. Branwen always captures this great balance between humor and sincerity that I love. It's just a great read all around and I would love to cheer her on to adding a new chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Stitch Crazy Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Title: Hermione's Totally Accidental Time-Travelling Mishap Author: MegGonagall Link(s) to story With Rating: Here (M) Warnings (if applicable): Substance Abuse Advisory Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: While this was originally written as as part of a parody challenge, what I've read so far is so well written that it doesn't read as a parody and if that fact wasn't stated at the beginning, I never would have known that's what the story is.
