Our next victim - er - candidate: Sushi!

[icarus]

Let move along to another prolific author, the only one on the list who's collected works will probably include a 12-volume set on the same story (wink): wikdsushi.

Remember that amanuensis1 did open that pandora's box of write-in votes, which I will add as I notice them. The fics I select for the vote are arbitrary, but if you want to beat up one story in favour of another, remember to take it outside.. to hpbnfdm_lives where that sort of thing is encouraged. Besides. wikdsushi will attack you with Teefs.

Civil War
In Academia
The Beast
The Last Dance (Drama section)
The Consequences Of A Weary Mind (Humour section)

Note: These links will all take you to the same place.

The write-ins have already begun:
Fire Burn and Cauldron Double
Shedding Skin
Two
Welcome to my Nightmare
Flight

(Snickering still: I have whiplash from Sushi's nomination.)
ETA: Oh. Right. Don't forget to tell us why you're voting for whichever fic.
ETA2: Ha. And I thought this wouldn't have as many write-ins.
ETA3: I thought you should know that the steamcleaner infomercial I'm watching says - "not all steam is created equal."
I think that needs more of a sense of authority. Ah. I know --
"Confucius say, not all steam created equal."

The votes are in, and the results are (drumroll please) Here!

Other votes are Maya, Amanuensis, Rushlight, Anna, Aspen, Cybele, and Cassandra Claire.

In Academia.

oh and sushi is an evil depraved monster from the bowels of a stinky kitty for the TWO endings of that.

But we love her anyways.

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

Hunh. No wonder I have a morbid fear of cleaning the litterbox. ;)

*hugs*

[electricandroid.livejournal.com]

huggles sushi - sends minions to clean litterbox for her...

it was one of my most favorite stories ever (top 3) just his naievity, amazing

*hugs*

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

Yay! =) Baby'll be happy. Her daddy only cleans it once a week or so, and by that time she's taken to glaring at us whenever she gets near the thing. (I can't clean it. Too allergic. :/ Bah.)

Ooh. He actually didn't strike me as very naive until I went back and re-read chapters, but you're right. Poor Ajit really had more to learn than he thought. Poor kid. (When I wrote it, I thought I was going to be flamed from every corner of the fandom just because it was such a departure from what I'd already written. When I didn't, I started to realise just how much you guys'll let me get away with. *eg*)

*hugsback*

touches fingertips around the massive cleavages currently in contact with one another....

No, for some reason I prefer it to civil war - even though that was the fic which drwe me kicking and screaming into the fandom. Maybe because it was easier to relate to Sev the mislead(and who has not been), than sev the snarky potions master. Or maybe because I could actually see the screen when I read In Academia - Civil War had me crying so much it was like "Line" *sniffle, sniffle, bawl, new box of tissues* "Line", *bawl, bawl bawl* ad infinitum...

How are you feeling today by the way - any better?Oh and tattoos are addicitve, after I had mine done I had to be physically restrained from getting more- so make sure you have something to do directly afterwards!

*hugs*

Civil War
Just for the fond memories of me finding out that this fic was in fact the sequel of Marching of to war which I adored - and realizing that because I had avoided it every time it was on top of the New Fic page on FFN I now had nearly *15* (I think) chapters I could read on one sitting.
And the horror of realizing that it was not finished and waiting for every weekly update and the need to hunt this Sushi-person down, who had the whole thing finished and was making me wait and...

Ummm, for me there is just no competition, no matter how much I like the other fics.

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

I remember that! You wanted my head on a plate! *grin* (Well, you and about thirty other people.) Honestly, I finished then-final rewrites sometimes minutes before I posted chapters. It's been rewritten again since, just to clear up my *ahem* little dialogue-allocation problem. *sheepish grin* But I'm doing much better now!

My first novel. *sniffles* It seems so long ago.

[ridicully]

Nonono, we didn't want your head - we wanted your hard drive. The head would only have been acceptable if would have been able to talk.

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

*hugs hard drive* My brain! I need it! (Because my own memory hardware is shot.)

[dancing-moon.livejournal.com]

I'm supposed to choose one? *frets*

I think it'll have to be Civil War on the simple merit of most re-reads. I love In Academia too and the Beast was one of the best and most original novels I've read, within or without fandom. But Civil War has a special place in my heart...

Dammit, you realise what you've made me do now, don't you? I will waste the entire day reading Sushi-fics again. And I had plans for today! But who needs to clean or eat anyway?

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

But who needs to clean or eat anyway?

Yeah! I haven't done either in about three days. Are there supposed to be pixies hanging from my ceiling fan?

(The moral of the story is: If you feed Sushi nothing but small quantities of orange juice and Pop Tarts for long enough, the resulting hallucinations make it aaalllll worth it.)

[percysowner.livejournal.com]

My favorite favorite is Flight. There's something about the total despair in that one. And I love the idea that Voldemort was not just a power mad idiot, but actually had the right idea, even if it was taken to extremes.

Of the ones mentioned I have to give the nod to Civil War I just can't stop re-reading it.

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

YES! Somebody else likes "Flight" best! Thank you! =)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Off topic but, good grief. I've been doing all these Percy stories and pictures and I haven't checked with Percy's owner. ... mumbles... knew that collar signified something....

Er. *hat in hand* Might I have permission to write Percy Weasley in a number of embarrassing and compromising (http://www.livejournal.com/community/merry_smutmas/36713.html#cutid1) situations? I'll treat him well, and make sure he has, er, lots of fun in the process.

Mostly.

Hey go for it! The poor guy gets pretty ignored in fanfiction and thoroughly dissed in canon and I really feel for him, trying to do the right thing and follow the rules and JKR just hates that. To yeah give him some fun, he deserves it.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I'll give your vote to Flight if you like, and put it up as a late write in.

Icarus

[percysowner.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sounds good to me.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Interestingly, that's Sushi's favourite, too.

The Beast. One of the most original takes on Snarry EVER, and with absolutely fascinating insight into house-elves. Atmospheric, rich, surprising, plotty, sensual and deep--just the sort of novel I tend to fall in love with. :)

I love everything of Sushi's, of course--I cried so much during The Last Dance that I nearly ruptured something--and I cried even MORE, if that were possible, when I read Two.

Just. Two. I'd rather Harry were DEAD than with someone else--and that discovery shocked me, because I didn't realize I was quite such a Snarry shipper! But Severus' loss... his... oh. I couldn't bare it.

Still, The Beast is my vote because it is the most stylistically accomplished work of them all--at least I think so--and is the most mature. It has a perfect sense of timing and drama, and is intriguing not only for its characterization of Harry-cum-Voldemort but also for its fascinating take on the workings of magic and the society of house-elves.

So. Sushi. <333333333

Write more, you teef.

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

I'm writing, I'm writing! (Actually, I've just finished editing for the night.)

*waves notes for the original adaptation of The Beast in a tempting manner* (Frankly, I think the original version is going to kick the fanfic's ass all over the map. I am having so much fun with this thing, and I haven't even started the actual writing!)

Thank you! =) **huggles**

[maruchina.livejournal.com]

... Ooh, this is a hard one. I think I'll pick... Civil War. Yes. I was going to say TLD, but CW is the first Sushi fic I ever read, so I'm going to pick it for nostalgia value. *runs away before she can change her mind*

[bella-the-dark.livejournal.com]

Decisions, decisions, decisions... has to be Last Dance. I loved all the others but this one left a lasting impression on me. I still cry every time I think about it. If we could cast two votes my other would go for her short Fairy Light's. Her Christmas gift to all in her LJ.

[ev-vy.livejournal.com]

In Academia. It had such a powerful effect on me that it took me over a year to make a decision to re-read it. It scared the hell out of me.

[bedofbones.livejournal.com]

*bang head on keyboard* Your making me choose?

Civil War is amazing; I've read it too many times to be considered sane. It's so memorable, too! My friends and I are always throwing quotes back and forth. Ahhh, the snarkines.
But The Last Dance is so heartbreaking. It killed me; I must have walked around like a zombie for a week. I've only read it twice, just because of the tear-jerker factor. *sigh*

I'm going to go with Civil War; I couldn't forgive myself if I chose anyhing else. ;)

Shedding Skin!!!!
