Harry Potter Starter Kit

[icarus]

Last night I was up till three am reading all your recs for the Harry Potter Starter Kit.

First conclusion:
Wow, there are a lot of great stories I've never read. copperbadge, scribbulus_ink's Snape/Lupin, (which I want to read again), Nope's Snape/Draco.

Second conclusion:
To sample a new pairing, a multi-chaptered fic is too much.

Third conclusion:
It's time for me to sift through the recs for the shorter works and list those earlier.

*Icarus rolls up sleeves, tongue in corner of mouth.* This is gonna take longer than I thought.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I even need the "Greatest Fics of All Time!" Thought it would be nice. More like representative fics, to give the new reader a feel for the pairing.

Yeah, the fics often hailed as "greatest" might not work for someone who hasn't read HP fic before. I was thinking about that when I saw the first post: many people list Telanu's "A Modest Proposal" as one of their favorite fics, but if you haven't read and liked a fair amount of Snarry, chances are it's not gonna work for you.

So I'm looking forward to seeing what fics you come up with to initiate the un-initiated :o) !

Yeah, tinderblast recommended the Harry/Ron Screwed, but the impact of that is that it's soooo refreshing after one or two sickly sweet Harry/Ron fics. You really need to have that come as part of a set.
