Here's where you can give reviews on different fics you might come across. A typical review would include an brief summary of the plot (not neccesarily the whole story; you don't want to ruin the ending!), what you liked, what you didn't like, as well as maybe a rating (2 stars out of 5! and so forth) or something like that.
Also, include a link to the fic, the author's name, pairing(s) (if any), and if it's NC-17, please say so.

Sight for Sore Eyes by Nope.
Trelawney/Hermione
Plot summary: Hermione goes to the staffroom for some coffee. Craziness ensues.
Oh gawd... This fic had me crying with laughter. It tugs you in, right from the get-go, into a very brief PWP that will make you cringe and crack up almost simultaneously.

Assisted Suicide by Ishafel
gen
Summary: A story containing an in-character Draco doing out-of-character things, mixed with a spoonful of Slytherin persistence and a dash of Snape.
After I read this, I asked myself, "Why did I like this fic so much?". The reason is probably the fact that it so resembles the work of Edward Gorey, an artist whom I adore with all my heart. The entire story is read like an obituary of sorts, the charm is hidden beneath the layers of Sinister and Grim.
I feel that an excerpt is in order:
Snape, closing his eyes, wondered if all the king's horses and all the king's men would be able to put the little idiot together again.

Cold as Night by Hijja

Note: this fic is hosted through RestrictedSection.org

"His wand lies - somewhere. He knows it is splintered, destroyed. He has killed Him Whose Name He Can't Remember - and there's something funny in that thought, though he can't say why - and his enemy has pulled his soul along towards death, where it still clings at the doors of damnation, barely hanging on to life."

Possibly the saddest Fic I've read all year. contains Harry/ Lucius ... and bad things.

No happy endings here. but 5/5 stars all the same.

Major props to Hijja for the beautiful word usage in some parts. This fic is relatively short, but each sentence adds something to the story.
I like that Harry's so confused and in-agony in this fic. Call me evil, but I love it when he's kind of stupid and helpless, especially when it has to do with his emotions.
I almost skipped over the smut (something which I most always do, because it's usually all the same in fics), but it really adds some of its own magic to the plot.
So I agree with your rating, overall. Um. Yeah.

Ski Club by Madfoot (me)
I've already put the link somewhere else, but this seemed more appropriate... Basically, when Hermione goes to france before her third year, she meets Olga Gala, who is vacationing there as well. Olga lives in America, and the girls don't see each other for three years, yet they still stay pen pals, where Olga asks Hermione to go skiing with her and her friends at Blue Mountain, in Bethlehem, PA. Normally, Hermione would have said no, wanting to stay at Hogwarts with Ron and Harry, but when she can't bear to look at Ron anymore and Harry is too busy with his girlfriend, she dicides to try something new, a new country, new friends, and some problems that have been bottled up inside since they were twelve... a story about the one thing I kjnow more than all others... friendship.

any reads are really appreciated, please ignore the drama on my reveiws. Bad fight.

Pink_Converse-
Okay, I've only read the Prologue, but that's because it's short and I'm supposed to be reading somebody else's fic ^^; But here's what I've got to say so far.
About Hermione's trip to France.. I'm pretty sure that was mentioned in the books (she took a skiing trip there for Christmas, OR she went there during the summer.. I don't remember ^^; ), and I'm glad you're making it so that it could have actually happened.
Something that caught my attention right off the bat was the CD player. Hermione was 13 when this all took place, which means that the year was around 1993.. I don't know what year exactly CD player became available to everyone, so this may or may not fit with the time period.
Even so, something that you can't really get around is the fact that the actual song ('I Wonder') was released in 2003 @_@ I suppose it isn't that big a deal, especially if the song really goes with the theme of the whole fic (I know some people base their fics entirely off of a single song) and there is no other one like it, but it's just something to keep in mind.
Hm... As for Olga being directly related to the Malfoys.. That is entirely possible. It was never mentioned in OotP where Harry was examining the tapestry that he looked further into the Malfoys' family ties, so it's still possible.
I spotted two typos in this bit:
Quote:
Hermione gained only one piece of information from his statement. She wasn't just a pureblood like Malfoy, But she was a pureblood RELATED to Malfoy! "I know him," said Hermione, "He's always making fun of me for being a muggle-born, Calling me a Mudblood!"

^^^ 'his' should be 'this', and the 'C' shouldn't be capitalized.
Also, in the sentence right after that one, the 'h' in 'he' shouldn't be capitalized either. And I think 'skied' should actually be 'skiied', but don't quote me on that ^^;
Um... You should probably capitalize 'Muggle' and 'Half-Blood', just to be politically correct, but it's not that important.

Okay, that's all I've picked out! I hope it helps/is understandable.
Oh yeah! And.. Sorry if I annoyed you ^^; You didn't really ask for a drawn-out nitpicking fest, but I don't like to see good stories suffer at the hands of careless mistakes.
