Pick your favourite Maya fic. Remember, no story-bashing (we have a place for that, hpbnfdm_lives) but do tell us why it's your favourite, as this is a sneaky way to prod for reviews. amanuensis1 gets the blame for the fact we do accept write-ins. Lots of them. But please no more split votes! *whimper*

Well, I've done two major Harry/Snape writers this week (don't worry, I'll get to Telanu), so it's time for something completely different. mistful has a gift for rich characterisations and hilarious dialogue.

Draco Malfoy The Amazing Bouncing... Rat?
Underwater Light
Shadow And Flame Flame And Shadow *snickers* I think this was a Lord of the Rings leakage. (Thanks to isiscolo for the correction. *blushes*)

*Starting gun* And they're off!

The write-ins have begun:
Dark Side Of Light
Your Every Wish
The Professionals Guide To Badgering
Loved Those Of Great Ambition
Hatred
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Badger

You can still vote, but the results are in!

Other votes: Anna, Amanuensis, Rushlight, Sushi, Aspen, Cybele, and Cassandra Claire.

I have to second Dark Side of Light, because it's different, and it's so much darker. I love UL, of course, and think it's completely amazing, but many of the best H/D fics have a lot of similarities, and UL is no exception. Sometimes I really want a little variety, and, well, UL doesn't fulfil that. :)

I liked Shadow and Flame, too (especially considering how convincing it was, with the Ron/Pansy pairing), but it was too short for me to really get into it, and the all-dialogue aspect of Dark Side of Light can be (and was, in this case!) really intriguing if it's done well. Just stylistically, Dark Side of Light had a lot more to offer than some of the other fics, I think.

Draco Malfoy and the Amazing Bouncing...Rat? really wasn't one of my favorite, somehow. I never really knew why, I just never enjoyed it or thought it was as funny as much of the fandom seemed to. *shrug*
