What I give away...
I've updated my fic recs page! Yes, this is what I've done so far during my lovely week off. I promise I'll write too, though :)
Anyway, I've got four new popslash recs up, and two new Harry Potter pieces. Definitely all worth a read, so go check it out *pokes you*
Now. Time for my new BRILLIANT PLAN.
I've decided that I can't come up with a suitable amount of HP recs, because I can't remember all my old favorites. So I want to take a leaf out of x month's popslash rec archive (check out my links page for that one) and start a character of the month rec list. And YOU ALL have to participate. For me? *bats eyes prettily*
Each month I'm going to pick a Harry Potter character, and beg for people to send me (suzcudd@yahoo.com or post in comments) story recs that feature that character. He/she doesn't even have to be the main focus, but I want an explanation for why you love how that character is portrayed in that particular story. And then the story and explanation will be posted on my site, with you as the rec-ee. Fair enough?
I'm giving you a jump on January. (and each of my subsequent updates in this LJ will have an annoying, nagging tagline reminding you to send me your recs). I'll start you off with an easy one, and also my favorite character when he's portrayed "correctly." I'm well aware that a lot of people DON'T like him, or don't like how he's often written. So I figured it would also be nice and informative. Remember he doesn't have to be the main character, and any pairing at all is welcome. Or none.
I declare January to be the Month of Ron.
Urm. Okay with everyone? Rec away!
EDIT: The popslash secret santa Don We Now Our Gay Apparel for 2004 is now live. No, I didn't write for it. Just love reading them :)
EDIT #2: Feel free to pimp my Month of Ron fic rec request on your LJs. *bats eyes even more prettily*

Whoops!
I liked my characterization in this fic particularly because I felt it got to the root of poor Ron's insecurities...he was passionate and tempermental, but lovely and sweet, too. His views on life are at once simple and complex, and I tried to convey that in this fic. I think Ron is so underrated- he is loyal to a fault, and he's really just trying to live life like the rest of us- not in the shadow of anyone else.
I'd also like to rec someone else to make up for my little bout of self love ;)
The wonderful Maya. On FAP, she usually writes Harry/Draco centric stuff, but her Ron/Pansy fic "Flame and Shadow" is fantastic. Ron is all at once condused and frusturated at how the image of his life is shattered- how he isn't at all living the life he thought he could. He is raw and passionate but at the same time, so clueless and all noble in his intentions and twisted in logic and just...and just quite yummy for a fictional character. :D
