Next up on the Duelling Fics... er. Me?

[icarus]

I've wondered if I had the balls to do this. I chickened out earlier in the week - though I justify it with the fact that I do appear on those BNF lists which are the source of my contenders.

I'm so curious though.

Ah. Well. If this is too blindingly arrogant of me, you can skip this one and do Aja's tomorrow (ooops, not supposed to give away future contenders, like Isis - ooops again).

You know the rules, pick your favourite, it's all amanuensis1's fault that I have to accept write-ins. The contenders:

Primer to the Dark Arts
Beg Me For It

The polls are now closed. And the results are in!

*crickets chirp*

Eh, well. I suppose I should move on to real BNFs like Cedar. Ooops. Damn, I keep doing that.

Ah. Some have taken pity on this hack. The write-ins (somehow the links are a lot easier to find this time):
Sex, Drugs and Death Eater Rock
Sweet Hypocrisy
Hagrid's Hut
Skinny Dipping
Zen Taxi
A Moment Of Sin
Your Friendly Neighborhood Death Eater
Ron/Teaspoon *snickers at McTabby*
An Irresistible Photo

The fine print:
Previous votes are McTabby, Anna, Minx, Maya, Amanuensis, Rushlight, Sushi, Aspen, Cybele, and Cassandra Claire. Void where prohibited.

Beg me for it

[cheshyre]

Definitely.

Primer to the Dark Arts.

I'd have to vote for Primer. While I love Beg Me For It, Primer's what got me started on HP fanfic... drat your good tales!

[mad_maudlin]

Man, this is hard...but...okay, a technical question. If I vote for "Beg Me For It," does that encompass "Sex, Drugs and Death Eater Rock" and "Scarred" as well, or can I vote for SDDER seperately? 'Cause that's got to be one of the best R/D fics I've ever read.

Previously during the Maya vote this question arose. I decided (arbitrarily, in the finest ff.net tradition) that stories in a story arc were counted separately, while chapters were counted as one fic. The reasons for this: I hadn't heard of the story that was added, and didn't know there were others in that arc. :D

So, yes, you can vote for Sex, Drugs and Death Eater Rock. *adds to the list.*

Beg Me For It!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Eee. If I debate for too long, I'll never decide. I'm torn between Hagrid's Hut, Sweet Hypocrisy, and Beg Me For It, but I'm going with Beg Me For It because it pushed my kink buttons and because first person can be so damn hard to pull off. ^_^

DAMN! I'm TORN between Beg Me For It and Sex, Drugs and Death Eater Rock!!

Ok ok, I'm gonna go with SDDER. But I LOVE BMFI TOO!!

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

Beg Me For It! Utterly want a commentary for that!

[everythingisaid.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely Primer to the Dark Arts, which is one of my favorite fics. I really enjoy the plot and the aspects of the relationships in the fic.

[aubrem.livejournal.com]

Primer. (In hopes of inspiring you to work on Snape Manor).

[florahart]

Sex, Drugs, and Deatheater Rock.

One of my most favorite fics. Yep.

[thywillbedone.livejournal.com]

I just go

GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH

at this part:

Well, those times, late at night, I get Draco hot and panting, his feathery blond hair all over the place... pin him to the bed... and then I tell him:

"Beg me for it."

[thywillbedone.livejournal.com]

Damn it, I'm still torn, but not changing my vote...

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

Beg. Me. For. It.

Damn, do there ever need to be more first person Ron fics. I love the way you crawl inside his head.

I do have to say that I was quite tempted to write in for Zen Taxi.

[reposoir.livejournal.com]

Beg Me For It.

Though, in all honesty, I don't feel fully qualified to be voting as I have not read everything of yours above. *shameful*

[paraphobic.livejournal.com]

Primer to the Dark Arts...but Sweet Hypocrisy is your best short story. ::cringe:: Sorry about the split vote, it's too hard to chose just one.

[eyrai.livejournal.com]

Oh, your cruel, let’s see, as tough as this is, I haven't read all of your stuff, i can't compare but i know what kept me wanting more.
I have to write-in skinny dipping (http://inkstain.slashcity.net/isf/archive/10/skinnydipping.html) it was ether that or zen taxi. but i read skinny dipping first. so, first love's always Unforgettable.
Because of your percy, and skinnydipping!percy made me go searching for more percy fics. I love your percy. Really, I do. more percy fic *hint hint* percy fic. *begs*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

You know, I've heard this from a couple people. I hadn't read all of those Zacharias fics when I voted for Maya's Underwater Light, and I'd never even heard of miraminx's Remus/Sirius stories.

Since this is a vote on your favourite and not what you think is the best, it doesn't matter if you've read them all.

Of course, if you pick as your favourite something you haven't read, well that sort of randomizes things.

Primer!

[spiderine.livejournal.com]

My vote is for Primer!

[celestialseason.livejournal.com]

Oh boy, this is hard, it's betwen 'Skinny Dipping' and 'Beg Me For It' (of course there's also 'Sweet Hypocrisy' and 'Zen Taxi' *sigh*)
::runs off to reread stories before voting::

[nufaciel.livejournal.com]

My vote is for 'Skinny Dipping'. I just loved reading that one... *runs to do homework and write fic before getting the urge to re-read the aforementioned fic*

[exbentley]

Sex Drugs and Death Eater Rock. I do believe I explained why in my reply to Minx. Of course, I love all your stiff, but liek woah. I wish I had a scaner so I could show you my mirror!R/D!girls.

[wickedelf.livejournal.com]

Ooh, having a tough time choosing between Beg Me For It and Sex, Drugs & Death Eater Rock.... Eek!

Um, ok... my vote is for Sex, Drugs & Death Eater Rock
