Moving Pictures

The rare well-written Harry/Ron! Not only that, it looks like it's going to be novel-length. Even better: they're both beautifully in character, the magical details at the Burrow are rich and well-visualised... and just Anna's writing style is treat, both vivid and funny. And she captures both Ron and Harry's voice very well.

"The sunset continued to blaze away in a glorious tangle of Gryffindor red-and-gold, but it was wasting its crayons. They weren't watching anymore."

From Ron's POV:
"And Ron had felt a stab of raw power shoot through him, powerful enough to make him shudder: he's as lost in you as you are in him. Figure that one out, will you?

What might have happened next had his blood hula-dancing with expectancy."

I'm going to be watching this one.

Ah, you have rec'ced one of my very favorite fics. I've been watching this one since the first chapter was posted way back when, and I agree, it is absolutely marvelous. I wish she would update more often, but it's definitely worth the wait. :-)

I've also been following this since it started. I absolutely love it. SO SO glad more people are gonna find it now.

Have you also read Circles of Power by Mad Martha? Also another good one.

It's awesome. My only thing is that I hope it doesn't turn into a H/D >_

I can't wait to read this. There's a terrific Ron-centric story on Rareslash you might be interested in, too.

"Moving Pictures" is one of my favourite Harry/Ron stories too. It's only updated every once in a while, so when you see an update you feel that little tingle of excitement.

Drat! Only once in a while. *sighs heavily* I guess I'll have to wait. Can't wait to read your 'Circles of Power' Mad -- I was very impressed with 'The Lodger,' especially your portrayal of Ron.

I know, it's painful, isn't it! Keeleywolf's "A Lacking In Foresight" is the same ... fabulous story, updated painfully slowly. Oh well. I'll take quality over speed any day.

I'm not as happy with "Circles" as I was with "The Lodger". It's my first HP fic, took forever to write and right from the start wasn't very structured. I love the individual parts, but the thing as a whole is a bit top-heavy ... I'm posting it anyway but hopefully I've learned something from the experience.

I'm delighted you liked "The Lodger", though! And I *am* answering your e-mail - I'm having one of those weeks, but it'll be with you ASAP.

Love love love the Annafic

Yes! Anna is probably my single favorite HP author out there. (She has an lj at [livejournal.com profile] coldcoffeeeyes25, btw.) I would read her grocery lists. Then again, as it's Anna, her grocery lists would be bound to be well-researched, witty, and have -wonderful- sex.

If you do the hetfic thing, definitely read her Travelogue series, starting with Roman Holiday. Wonderful little turns of phrase like this: (Hermione's viewpoint)

... let Draco Malfoy settle himself in the untried cradle of her thighs, that part of him had disappeared into part of her and left her feeling like an overdone martini.

That is to say, shaken AND stirred.

Oops! Make that [livejournal.com profile] coldcoffeeeyes instead. I wish you could edit comments...

Awww. Thanks for the plug! V. sweet of you.

Sorry about the infrequency of the updates; I can usually plow through a sticky spot on my other fics, but this one only gets updated when I'm really feeling it. :)

It shows

Yeah, it shows. There's a lot of feeling in this. I'm so pleased with your writing style, I may even read Het (but only yours ;). Roman Holiday, here we come. After I do some writing today. I'm pushing through a sticky part of a fic right now.
