A Good Buy
For Services Rendered
Lost Feeling
As Black As He's Painted

Well, I had to include her Remus/Sirius! It wouldn't be representative otherwise. *Icarus dodges tomatoes from the Snape fans.*

Oh well. Let the write-in's commence.

Dead Till I Be With Him
A Little Out of Tune

I think I'll have to say a Good Buy. Three reasons - Snape, comedy and warm fuzzy grin without going sappy.

[spiderine.livejournal.com]

Um, excuuuuuse me. Write in vote for "Dead til I Be With Him," please? Thank you!

A Good Buy!

[nataliadarimini.livejournal.com]

Ooooh!
It needs to be "A Good Buy," if for no other reason than the testicle tingling curse. It was almost Lost Feeling, but I've grown to need more fluff in my Remus/Sirius since, well, that thing that we don't talk about.

Shameless Snape/Lupin shipper that I am --a write in for "A Little Out of Tune."

[ptyx.livejournal.com]

"For Services Rendered"!

Till Break of Day (http://www.vidweasels.com/Minx/Lost_Feeling/till_break_of_day.html).

Kitchen Raids. As much of a Snape fan as I am, I think Minx's SB/RL stories are her best work.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I remember how much I grinned, all the way through A Good Buy. Slave Auction fic where the slave auction stuff ISN'T the titillating part, wow! Now, that's original! Chalk up my vote there.

[eyrai.livejournal.com]

this is not easy, dammit. alot of her piece leaves me with a little smirk 'A good buy' was one of them, 'KItchen Raid' gve me smirks for days, ... but … **defeated sigh** I have to go for
'Lost feeling'. I was SO addicted to that story.. omg. .
I’m too much of a sucker for sb/rl. Plus, Remus is just one sexy fucker there.
1. he’s a bartender.
2. The guitar dude!!, the guitar!!

3. -“No. Like this.” A husky, whisky and cigarettes voice-

.. must I say more?

[thalia]

Are you sure you're not thinking of Dead Till I Be With Him? Lost Feeling is the mostly Snape/Lupin one.

(I think I've read Minx's stories too often....)

[miraminx.livejournal.com]

Actually I think she is describing "Lost Feeling"-- the "No. Like this." line is Remus showing Samantha the bass line. I'd say the emotional pairing in that story is Lupin/Black, while the physical pairing is Snape/Lupin.

[thalia]

Oh, right... I'd forgotten. I was thinking of the Remus-the-bartender scenes in DTIBWH. Sorry to butt in, eyrai.

[eyrai.livejournal.com]

S’okay, it’s nice to know someone’s paying attention hehe. And thanks minx for clearing that, will there be more? **ganna offer to sell her soul for sexy!remus*…..second thought.*ganna shut up and not flood the post now* sorry icarusancalion

[eyrai.livejournal.com]

XD I’m not about to argue with a person who voted for kitchen raid, I LOVED that one too. As you said, I can be wrong it was so long ago that I read the story. But, yes I loved the whole of the ‘lost feeling’ arc. It’s just in that particular one, she described remus aka robert **snort** in a way I could never forget.

[celestialseason.livejournal.com]

oh man, another tough group to choose from...

[abigail89.livejournal.com]

A Good Buy...definitely.

Love the humor, love the interplay between a now-confident Harry, love how he breaks Snape down.

Oh, yeah. Fabulous sex.

[lyricalnights.livejournal.com]

Hrmm.

I love the Lost Feeling arc, ALL of the pairings, and For Services Rendered is freakin' hot.

However, gonna go for humor and short plot on this one and say A Good Buy 'cause I read it over and over again when I get depressed.

Also, my best friend made me a Coed Naked Quidditch shirt, and I lurve it. ;)

[nufaciel.livejournal.com]

My favourite Minx story is A Good Buy. It was funny and I loved the way that Snape and Harry's relationship developed... And you gotta love the testicle tingling curse, lol! All of her stories are very good, however.

[painless-j.livejournal.com]

A Good Buy. It's amusing. Good mood for several days.

PS: F-ck! I missed Cybele's and Cassie's rounds. What a tragedy.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Sorry. You can still vote....

[painless-j.livejournal.com]

Will do :)

Lost Feeling - for the exquisite angst.

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Although I don't think I've read anything by Minx that I didn't like, I'll have to throw in my vote for "Til Break of Day". It's meaty and sappy and sexy and hot and full of yummy plotty goodness.

I just can't even be coherent when it comes to Minx. Sorry. ;)

[sarka.livejournal.com]

Whee, one of those polls where I actually feel confident voting because I've read all the fics.

I'll have to say As black as he's painted, being a big R/S fan, but I love all her stuff. Kitchen Raids was wonderful, too :)

[bella-the-dark.livejournal.com]

Lost Feeling, I absolutely love this Remus. So antisocial and angry. Just trying to pick up the pieces of what little is left and get by.

[exbentley]

You forgot to blame Amanuensis ;)

Gyah. This is horribly hard. My first real, seeking out of Snarry led me to minx, & now I don't know which I like best. Minx is, amusingly, someone whose stories are easy to 'tell' to my friends - "and then Snape stands up and outbids ALL of them!"

My favourite type of story; take a plot, and a slightly unlikely pairing. Mix. Add humour. Add quite a quantity of smut. Stir. Bring to the boil, simmer for twenty minutes, and serve hot with a slice of lemon. (Possibly the reason I like Sex Drug & Death Eater Rock so much, hm?)

"A Good Buy" because slave-Snarry is brilliant & the situation sticks in my mind. And a nod of approval to "School Work," 'cause I've tried that (though it didn't end up in ... quite the same situation.)

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

The Lost Feeling Series!
That was the first fic I ever read with Harry/Severus...
Oh, I'll get all misty eyed.

[ygrane.livejournal.com]

Dead Till I Be With Him.

[ygrane.livejournal.com]

Sorry the beta-reading has taken so long. RL happened. I've read through it, and it looks pretty good. I like the ending. I'll send it back with comments soon. ^_^

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I'm grateful you're doing it, and heck, it's only been a couple days. I'm just antsy about this one. I'm used to stories coming out 'clean' and this... just didn't. I'm looking forward to it.

Damnit. "For Services Rendered" gets my vote, simply because the Snape and Harry interaction seems so realistic and often times casual.

Severus' midnight vigil when Harry overdoses on his potion just tugs on my heartstrings. It's because he didn't just go do it out of guilt; he did it because he (oh my goodness!) cares.

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

Dang, most of my favorite Minx stories aren't on the list! I adore "Halloween"-the party gets votes for originality, and the totally believable scenes that follow are just tops in Snarry!

My other favorite, is her Fantasy Into Reality Series. I re-read this one a lot just because it's so much fun!

For Services Rendered!

[(Anonymous)]

For Services Rendered, without a doubt. I just adore Snape in that fic. He's so very much in denial verbally, yet everything he does shows just how much he really cares for Harry - heh, he talked to a Runespoor too!

If it were possible, I'd also vote for Possessions - because there's a heartbreakingly afterglow scene in Possessions Part I that I just have to reread periodically.

Aw, you guys! Wow. I'm sitting here with a smile on my face feeling extremely grateful and appreciative. Thank you for saying all these lovely things about my stories; I'm so glad you've enjoyed them.

And thank you, Icarus, for setting this up. I've enjoyed the other rounds as well, although I'm indecisive and can't make myself pick just one story for any one author.

[celestialseason.livejournal.com]

too many good ones to choose from. I love her Fantasy into Reality series - how Sev and Harry started out having fun, then things take a serious turn and they must deal with what happened and work out what they mean to each other - I reread that series often. And I also love TillBreak of Day and it's sequel One Warm Beautiful Thing - how Sev and Harry's relationship slowly developed, wonderful long enjoyable reads, with good plots. I've reread those a few times as well. So my vote goes to 'Till Break of Day'.

[snapetoy.livejournal.com]

Definitely, Til Break of Day (http://www.vidweasels.com/Minx/Lost_Feeling/till_break_of_day.html) wins my vote.

Why? Severus fucking Harry with a dildo. Totally unbeatable. Oh, and plot... and other really hot sex.

[els-chan.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...A Good Buy. *nod nod*

[aubrem.livejournal.com]

Extremely difficult. I love "Lost Feeling," - it's the reason I fell in love with Snarry. It's warm and fuzzy and safe. : ) The interaction of all four main characters in that series is a pure pleasure to read. "A Good Buy" is kinda probably my favorite Minx story - it's a perfect little Snarry. It's hot, it's sweet.

However, I think I'm going to give my vote to "For Services Rendered" because it sizzles. Overall I like "A Good Buy" better but there is very little in this world that can beat the image of Severus giving Harry a handjob as payment.

Till break of day

[barbana.livejournal.com]

I loved the slow pace of it and the way Harry is portrayed.

[absynthia.livejournal.com]

I almost didn't vote because I haven't read everything by this author, lol. What if there's a better one that I've missed?? I mean, I haven't read two of those listed. hee! But damn it, I'll go ahead and vote also for Till The Break of Day. It's a little more romantic than the type of story I usually like, but I dreamt about Snape in that damn toe ring, and that's got to say something. Yes I did. I admit it. I had sexy dreams about long Snape toes. And I liked it! muahahahahaha!

*g*

"Dead Till I Be With Him". One of the few stories in that paring I enjoy.
