Off to a good start to the day so far - an Ishie award!

[icarus]

I've just been informed that First Signs Of Magic: Hermione Granger is up for an Ishie Award for March in the mirth category. I like that, given I had to lock myself in the bathroom when I wrote it -- I laughed until I cried.

For all the slash readers, the First Signs Of Magic series remains the most popular and heavily reviewed of my stories.

I actually wrote it because I had just written the three-way PWP Unexpected Guest for the sleazy fic drive and felt like I needed to clean out my mind with a toilet brush. Unexpected Guest is rarely reviewed, but I often get little sidenotes from people who mention... "er... I've read it. Many, many times." LOL!

Do I look pleased?

I'm suprised you don't get more feedback on that story. I thought Unexpected Guest was hot, and the ending was great. I think I've read three times since I came across it a month ago. :)

*purr* Unexpected Guest was totally hawt!

It has to be my most blatantly sexual PWP. Usually there's some semblance of a plot. But this... pure sex. :D

I've just re-read Unexpected Guest to remind myself, and found it lovely all over again; I did remember the incidents with the wine. Worked out, all over again, who the guest must be, but had forgotten the ending. Heh.

Have to tell you, though, that I love best your First Signs of Magic, for Hermione and Draco especially; they're the ones I re-read regularly. I too laugh myself silly over them, every time, and good comedy like that is far rarer than good smut. The Severus one is so close to tragedy, it's quite different.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, I couldn't help that with Snape. It's just his nature to be tragic. Even if it's comic in a macabre sort of way. *shivers*

Yes you do. And they were hilarious, by the way.

"As a family decision, they decided to panic." Or something like that. *pets little!Hermione*
