| Uncommonly Good Contest Results |
[ Thursday
April 26 12:47pm
] |
The staff of Sycophant Hex is pleased to announce the official winners of the Uncommonly Good Contest now that Whispers is publishing the story written by our grand prize winner.
The official winners are:
1. We Were Nobles: Dach’s Story by Carol Notwolf
2. Heartbreak and Redemption: An Angel’s Heart by Elvara Hrolfswiffe
3. Ambers in Water by morgaine_dulac
Here is an except from our grand prize winner, Carol Notwolf’s story, “We Were Nobles: Dach’s Story.”
Dach has loved Lorac all his life; she loves him, too. So why did she marry someone else? In retrospect, Dach understands perfectly why she chose Ferencer over him, the Whore King of Tellene: he was a selfish asshole. Being a man isn't the size of your pecs or your junk...Dach finally comprehends that fact when all signs say it's too late to matter—after he’s abducted and taken from his home world by a slaving ship during a revolution he helped start. Five hellish years of fighting traders and saving children has changed him, but will Lorac see it when he finally makes it home? If he makes it home...
You will be able to purchase Carol’s book after May 4th from:
Whispers
As well as Amazon.com.
Thank you,
Celisnebula

| Farewell OWL... |

It is with great sadness that I post this.
On OWL's main page, Sunday, April 1st, users were greeted with this message:
Global: Tauri.org is closing on 4-30-2012
As of 4-30-2012, tauri.org will be closing - for several reasons, not the least of which is hardware. The machine has been running 24x7 since the site first went live, and has clearly been showing its age. It will continue to be checked and rebooted daily until the end of the month. At that time, it will be powered off. Any information needed from the site (stories, reviews, etc.) must be collected before that time.
Link: http://owl.tauri.org/index.php
As someone who has met some lovely writers and volunteers from OWL/CAT, this hits especially hard. I cannot express my profound grief - and while the ration part of me understands that real life, hardware issues, and all of that does often happen, it still strikes me to the core.
As many have already said, losing OWL and CAT will be a terribly loss, and I cannot stress how much we (authors and readers) shall miss it. Thank you, Potion Mistress, and of course her lovely staff of volunteers, who created a wonderful archive for all of us to share the love of the Harry Potter as well as other fandoms.
There are some wonderful stories archived at OWL and CAT, and I dearly hope that some of these authors choose to post their work elsewhere - so that future fannish friends can find these stories and come to love them as much as we all have. Some of the places to post would be Sycophant Hex, the Petulant Poetess, and an Archive of Our Own.
For writers who have only ever posted at OWL or at CAT, please consider archiving over at Sycophant Hex. Chaos is comparable to CAT, and the rest of the archives, Ashwinder, Lumos, Occlumency, and Eros and Sappho will accommodate the Harry Potter stories.
If you email the help desk (sh.userhelp at gmail dot com), we can get you posted right away, without a lengthy queue time as your chapters have already gone through the corrections process. In addition, if requested, we can help transition your stories over from OWL/CAT to one of the Sycophant Hex archives. THIS applies to AUTHORS only. We will not host any of OWL/CAT's stories without explicit permission of the author to do so. No amount of appeals or pleas to the help desk will make us circumvent an author's right to post where they wish. Nor will we take kindly to another entity posting someone else's story on our site.
For more update information, please follow up on: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.1) owl_tauri
Thank you,

I'm trying to find a fic I read on Ashwinder a long time ago. I think it was a MLC. The one scene that I remember was Hermione and Severus at a clothing store of some kind. One of the other Death Eaters comes into the store, and Severus makes Hermione try on some lingerie and come out of the dressing room to show it off. Any help would be appreciated! It's driving me crazy trying to remember

In an effort not only to a) bring some life around this drafty old place, b) be creative and outside of the box, and c) provide fodder from some of the writer's and artists (not to mention essay and meta writers), we bring you the Sunday Lovin' prompts.
On Sunday, which will also be the day (give or take a day or two to cope with my hectic work schedule), we'll post a prompt. Now these prompts can be anything - a photo, random word, a phrase, a quote - what ever tickles my pickle, savvy? And don't be shy - if you've a prompt idea, feel free to share it in a comment, though do please label that comment as a prompt idea.
The basic idea is this:
A) The prompt is published on Sunday (probably will be Sunday night given my work schedule).
B) Anyone can play - there's no official need to sign up, if it inspires you, well go forth and be creative!
C) Those who are playing - you have until Midnight the following Saturday to post. Once you've posted, follow the community rules and leave us a shout out in that weeks roll call.
D) Word count is completely open - just be sure to follow any community rules to places you post that are not your own livejournal (ie - if posting to an archive, follow their minium word count limit). And if it inspires you to do art, or create a vid, or even make some icons, well that's completely cool too!
E) Have fun! This should be a no pressure way to get the creative juices flowing (because I am sorely missing ptterpr0nprmpts).
I shall be posting the first prompt on Sunday, October 2nd.
Thanks,
Celisnebula

Does anyone have any information on a story that was posted to Ashwinder during Christmastime? I think it might have been called "Silent Night". Hermione moved into a new house and would often stare out her window and look into the windows of other houses. She watched one certain house which she was convinced housed a magical person. One day she sees Snape in the window and soon after that he notices her. They play games, teasing each other back and forth through the window until one day the teasing turns sexual. Events culminate after that with Snape coming to Hermione's house and asking to see her tits. They have sex and become a couple after that.
The author said they were going to take it down, and they did. I wasn't suprised at that, but it was SUCH a good story, and I miss reading it.
I was hoping that someone knew the author so that I could ask for a hard copy or access to it online so I could read it again.
_____________________________________________
UPDATE:
Thank you very much for all who were interested in helping. I have some of the best friends in Potterfics ever! However, I have found out that RedSky has taken everything off the internet entirely and isn't interested in sharing anymore. That's okay, that's her prerogative, and I totally respect that. She was probably one of the most talented authors I've ever read, but things happen, and I understand that.
So, without further ado, we now return you to your regular scheduled programming....

I'm sorry that I'm going to be That Person who clogs up your f-lists trying to locate a fic, but I'm growing desperate here. I've spent the last two hours drudging and have found nothing:
I'm looking for a Lucius/Narcissa that used to be hosted on the old Pureblood archive. It was set in MWPP-era and multi-chaptered into either the late teens or early twenties. Bella is engaged to Rodolphus and Narcissa, who is portrayed as being very image conscious and wonderfully cold, agrees to let Lucius court her because no other wizard is up to her standards.
I believe that's how it went, at least. I do remember specific scenes, like a sleigh ride around the Malfoy estate, or Lucius taking Narcissa to the opera and she sees (and runs into) the estranged Andromeda (I also know Lucius complains about the sort of scum that the opera caters to when he sees Andromeda as well) (and that Andromeda wears a Gryffindor-red dress). I also remember a Death Eater revel where Narcissa saves Ted Tonks' life when Voldemort grants her and Bellatrix the opportunity of choosing his fate-- Narcissa demands that he not be killed but returned to Andromeda as a warning (I'm pretty sure she uses the excuse of not wanting blood on the carpet) and is involved with returning Ted to her sister, much to Bella's absolute anger.
I'm sorry. I feel like a jerk because I've got nothing more specific than that-- and Google's has been screaming that I'm not useful at all with these search terms. The most I can do is offer you cookies for spamming your f-lists and offer cookies, hugs, and my undying adoration for anybody who might be able to help?
