October Story of the Month Voting.

[ShazaLupin]

This month's nominees for Story of the Month are:

 

Title: Immortal Misconception 

Author: AbraxanUnicorn

Link: Immortal Misconceptions (m)

Warnings: Sexual Content, Slavery, Hate Speech & Domestic Abuse 

Reason for nominating: Despite the warnings on this, the piece is hilarious, humour can be so difficult to get right but Meera kills it. I think it's an amazing piece because I didn't stop laughing when reading. Such an enjoyable piece that will have you in stitches!

 

Title: All the Truth About Jimmy Portman

Author: Felpata_Lupin

Link: HPFT (M)

Warnings: Sexual content, violence 

Reason for nominating: Even if you're not familiar with Chiara's amazing Liar universe, you need to give this story a read. I'm not even usually a fan of AUs but this one grabbed me straight away (and, hey, the Marauders live!) It's a fantastic What if? story where Neville is marked with the scar, and gives the universe you know so well a fresh feel. Chiara's been working hard on it lately, and I think it deserves recognition.

 

Title: Secret Keeper

Author: poppunkpadfoot

Link(s) to story With Rating: HPFT [T]

Warnings (if applicable): Substance Abuse

Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: Peter is definitely a character that doesn't tend to feature in fanfic and Kayla has done an amazing job here writing from his pov. I loved how it focused more on Peter's relationship with the other Marauders than I had seen in pretty much any other stories. It's a fantastic little snapshot into their lives (and of course there's Sirius too, would it be a Kayla story without him?  )

 

Title: The Recombination of One's Soul and the Psychological Aftereffects: a Case Study

Author: @Rumpelstiltskin

Link(s) to story With Rating: HPFT (M)

Warnings (if applicable): Sexual Assault, Violence

Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: What is this, even. Like, I don't even understand what this is. Rumpel does an absolutely incredible job of presenting an alternative universe in which Tom Riddle experiences remorse and survives DH... and shows how incredibly toxic he continues to be despite that. Highly recommend.

 

Title:  The Ultimate Betrayal
Author: @RoxiMalfoy
Link(s) to story with rating: +Here (Teen)
Warnings (if applicable): None
Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: I had an extremely tough time picking a nomination for this month, but I ultimately chose this fic because of how well Deana wields Percy Weasley's character in this AU.  Having to throw Percy into a dark story where he was forced to decide between what the Dark Lord was offering and what was previously noted as the standard 'right way' was something that had to be done very carefully in order to stick to Percy's canonically pre-established characterization.  Deana uses that characterization to bring an entirely new depth to Percy that plays directly into the sequence of the plot in the first two exciting chapters of this awesome tale (hint, Deana, update  ).  

 

Title: The Department

Author:  poppunkpadfoot

Link(s) to story With Rating: The Department (M)

Warnings (if applicable): Domestic Abuse 

Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: Kayla did a great job in describing Sirius Black, a rookie Auror who got to know his brother's death. She broke new ground in her writing.

 

Title: Beyond Repair

Author: MuggleMaybe

Link(s) to story With Rating: T

Warnings (if applicable): N/A

Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: This is such a great story about the relationship between Lily and Petunia. It''s a really refreshing fic and shows just how complicated a sibling relationship can be.
