 February 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 [approximately 10 days after the nomination's thread is posted], a Prefect will post a voting poll for all of the stories that have been nominated. Don't worry about having to rush - you will have about 10 days to read the stories and vote for your favorite!

Winners will be announced in the News Bulletin on the first of each month. All SotM Winners will also receive a cool prize!

Reason for Nomination: Rumpels has really outdone herself with this piece - and I'm not just saying that because it's a fanfic of my fic, lol!   To be perfectly honest, this could very easily be a stand-alone Sirius Black/OC fic in and of itself. I don't feel as though you really need all of the history and details about Saleena Blackwell from Perfect & LNW to feel ALL of the raw emotion that is packed into this one-shot. I was sobbing the first time I read it - it was just SO GOOD!! Rumpels just has this way of writing that always brings so much depth to her characters. It is powerful, and you can really feel exactly what it is that they're feeling. I am so in awe of of this one-shot; I really cannot say enough about it!! Saleena & Sirius' story was always such a heart-breaking tale to tell anyway, but Rumpels has delivered it in an absolutely beautiful and breathtaking way.

Reason for Nomination: this story is everything: intriguing, emotional, an unique and incredibly consistent plot, a strong and beautifully flawed female MC, a captivating and practically flawless writing style... from the very first lines it will have the reader hooked, wanting to unravel all the mysteries, and the more you delve into it, the more you get passionate about the storyline and the characters and the beautiful relationship between Amelia and James. If you haven't had the occasion to check it out yet, you really should do so right now. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Title: The joys of you

Warnings: Sexual Content, Spoilers
Reason for Nomination:  It's a Drastoria and it's a ScoRose so, really, where could you go wrong?  Actually, my favorite bit about this piece is the uniqueness Susana dove into the dynamics of both relationships, as when I usually spot a generational fic, it typically centers around THAT generation, with little mentions of the others, ofc. This is a Next Gen that I can definitely get into, given my still-lingering reluctance surrounding the era, because she does take the time to focus on relationships (complete with backgrounds) outside of that box. Plus, the characterizations are really awesome in this, too. I think Susana did an amazing job utilizing the CC-canonical characterizations given, especially when it comes down to Scorpius.
