How about something with Remus and Hagrid during POA? Hagrid compares the Weasley twins to James and Sirius in the Hogs Head, and I've been wondering how Remus would react if Hagrid said something along those lines to him. for ~Hermione Stranger~

I have to say, reccing is one of the most stressful parts of Yuletide for me because it requires winnowing down what I post -- which is why I have to always reserve the right to make more posts. Which I undoubtedly will. And so without further ado, and with apologies not for what I have recced but what I have failed to rec, etc.:
( Calvin and Hobbes/Eloise, Castle Waiting, Cthulhu Mythos, Discworld, Dracula, Fairytales, The Gentleman Bastard Sequence, Mary Russell, The Sound of Music, A Song of Ice and Fire )

( Calvin and Hobbes/Eloise, Castle Waiting, Cthulhu Mythos, Discworld, Dracula, Fairytales, The Gentleman Bastard Sequence, Mary Russell, The Sound of Music, A Song of Ice and Fire )
My 20 recs. Fandoms: Addams Family, Before Sunrise, Brideshead Revisited, Dead Like Me, Drake & Josh, Earthsea, Eddie Izzard, Fairy Tales, How I Met Your Mother, Mirrormask, Pushing Daisies, Saving Face, Singin' in the Rain, True Blood, Wonderfalls.
Before I get into the promised technical details, I wanted to mention that the single biggest change that has happened in this move is that I am no longer the only one working on the Yuletide code -- the credit for making this happen belongs to an enormous group of volunteer fans who have all pitched in: it takes a village, and wow you guys, do we have a freaking awesome village. ♥
While there is a more detailed post of kudos coming so you all get to know the individual people involved instead of it just being the mysterious wizards behind the curtain, I will here say a huge and general thank you to the entire Accessibility Design & Technology and Systems committees and the OTW Coders and Support and Tag Wranglers teams, who didn't so much go above and beyond the call of duty as passed it, achieved escape velocity, and left it several light-years back in the rear-view mirror.
I will also take this moment to throw in a plug -- we are always looking for more people to pitch in at the OTW, with all our projects, and we have an infrastructure that makes it easy to pitch in. If you love Yuletide, or fanfic in general, and would like to help make the AO3 even more awesome to use, please drop a line to volunteers@transformativeworks.org or fill out our contact form!
In particular, bringing Yuletide in is a dry run for one of our major goals, which is to make the AO3 a shelter for archives that are otherwise going to fall down and go boom. The Open Doors project is all about saving these archives and helping archivists back them up into the AO3. So if there is an archive you would like to help save, please come on board!
And now here is the nice big helping of geekery, which I will cut:
( lots of stuff about the old and new code )
And, that is basically the big summary of why the move, and what we've gained. if you have questions, hit me! though I may be a bit slow answering as I am busy reading piles and piles of stories \o/

If there's a theme this year, I think it would be taking minor/secondary/forgotten characters and showing just how awesome they are.

So, you're really going to claim Fairbreeze is your "RP property" and no one else can RP in it but your sucky, sucky guild? And then throw the freakin' mohawk grenades at us to prove your point? Of course. How classy of you.
P.S: It's brought. Not "brang".

Title: Reasons to Stay
Pairing: Spock/McCoy
Words: 1525
Rating: R?
A/N: I've been writing, in this fandom, a hell of a lot of Kirk/McCoy, and a girl's got to keep her NoTPer muscles in shape, right? Plus, I liked the prompt: McCoy and Spock are together, but McCoy worries that inevitably, like in the other timeline, Spock will be drawn to Jim. Spock logically explains why not. Modified slightly from the anon posting made there late last night.

Here's my extremely incomplete list of recs -- I've read so many more and loved them, but, what with me being so clever, didn't bookmark them, so when Firefox crashed and lost all my tabs I had no record. But here's what I've managed to gather together. They're all so wonderful I hardly know what to start with, so they're alphabetical.
( Recs recs recs recs. )
Okay, that's all for now, but once I find the others I was originally intending to rec I may be back with more (quelle horreur).

Hey, guys?
Stop saying that your characters want to rape my character. No, really. Stop.
If you want our characters to get it on, that’s one thing. There’s no age of consent in this world, so it doesn’t matter that he’s 14. There is, however, the fact that he is totally not mentally ready for sex. Which has been expressed, both IC and OOC, on multiple occasions. But whatever. I don’t mind anyone going “Oh, he’s so cute, he and my girl should get it on.”
But this whole rape thing? There might not be an age of consent in this world, and these people might not have a law against murder. But you’d better believe that if anyone actually raped this kid, that person would have at least five very angry, very pissed off, very powerful people extracting vengeance upon your character. Not because the pup is mine, or because it's you, but because rape doesn't fly with these people. Also: joking about rape is not funny, it’s not cute, and it’s not witty. Stop.
