When the Deathmatch died...

[icarus]

tinderblast and I cooked up an idea for a different kind of BNF Deathmatch: pitting an authors' own stories against each other.

So this is pretty informal. Anonymous posts aren't counted, neither are votes that don't state some reason (however spurious) for the preference. The selection of the two stories are completely arbitrary, though I do allow write-in votes.

Since technically this is just another way to garner reviews, I don't think anyone's going to object. But I've always been curious about this sort of thing.

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE.

Let's kick this off with epicyclical:

After The Flood. Draco/Harry, Ron. NC-17.

Draco Veritas Draco, Harry, etc., PG-13.

On an unrelated note, wildernessguru and I have just realised that, yes, our kitty is getting fat. Ooops

(ETA: vote for your favourite. Thanks Lily.)

ETA2: It's more fun if we don't slam one or another story. *ouch* I happen to like them both.

You can still vote, (this was early, so very few did) but if you're curious the results are here.

Later votes -
Maya, Amanuensis, Rushlight, Sushi, Aspen, Cybele, and Anna.

Sorry, but the opportunities to publicly admit to not liking DV are rare and it went to my head. I'll do better next time.

LOL! You seem to have plenty of company. I'm really surprised at the results so far. I really expected an outpouring of praise for DV.

I'm just looking at it from the writer's point of view. If people praised Beg Me For It by saying 'yeah, Primer to the Dark Arts is puerile' I'd wince.

True enough.

I'm rather surprised by the vote as well, honestly.
