The Shipper Manifesto Challenge: Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley
Tue, 03/23/2010 - 19:21 — parakletos
cwarbeck bravely took up the challenge to write a shippers manifesto for the H&G ship. For those of you who joined fandom relatively late one, these were all the rage early on in fandom but are a bit redundant these days. I've included a link to the post on Lj that includes fic recs to go with the ship.
Making lists of 'must read' fics is always fraught with difficulty and none of the fics would be on my list.
Three that would be are:
Teatime in the Garden by Lady Tonks
Meaning of One (archived here ofc)
I've not mentioned any WiPs and modesty (or common sense) prevents me listing anything of my own.
What would be on your list?

It would be nice if the html
It would be nice if the html would coperate with me :(
What's it doing? I
What's it doing? I occasionally forget how to work the html on Metafic outside of story postings, but I hope it's not too hard. I didn't see a link in either post.

I put in links for the stories but they don't appear when I post.
Ahh
The default input format when you post is "filtered html", which doesn't allow the link tags. I've manually enabled your post to allow them. I think that if you edit it further, you'll be able to use whatever links you like.
must reads
I'm surprised that you haven't had more response to your request for "must read" fics. Here are some of mine:
After the End by Arabella and Zenya on The Sugar Quill site
The Naked Quidditch Match at www.nodignity.com
anything by St.Margarets
anything by cwarbeck
anything by hgfan1111
Finding Us and I'll Be There For You, both by Kezzabear
Harry's New Home by kbinnz, multi-chapter sequel to the one-shot Harry's First Detention; plot development is a bit slow at first, but keep going and you'll see Sirius and Snape on a double date, and how Minerva really took care of Dolores Umbridge....this and Naked Quidditch are, without doubt, the two funniest fics out there.
The Draco Trilogy by Cassandra Clair, snarky banter during adventures and intriguing character development across the trilogy; can be found in the files of the yahoogroup for Paradigm of Uncertainty, not exactly a H/G fic...
Paradigm of Uncertainty by Lori Summers; the third part of the trilogy is unfinished, but Harry as a spy is not to be missed; be warned: this is a Harry/Hermione fic.
Enjoy!
I tend to discount really
I tend to discount really early stuff when it comes to fics because most of them are, well out of date.
The Naked Quidditch match was funny but its themes have been done to death by others so ....
Sorry, anything by.... doesn't count :p you have to be specific!
The Draco Trilogy, I have up on many moons ago because it is certainly not H&G and anything that is H/Hr is on my not to read list !
Bet you're glad you posted *grins*
So I challenge you to come up with 5 H&G must reads written after HBP.
