Some of Jec's are pretty good. Hope is one of the best imo. Kin's not bad in small doses. There are however many authors much better than either of them.
Unsung Hero by meghanreveiws
Harry Potter isn't the boy who lived. His twin brother Daniel is, or so the world believes.
This is an awesome story. A little slow at times, and the ship is HG. Strong characterizations and interesting plot points make this a definite must read.

The Meaning of One by Sovran is an slighty abstract but extremely well written story that takes place the first time Harry meets the Weasleys.
The story is long, slightly-angsty and thought provoking, it does suffer a bit from overpowered Potter and a few tedious plot points. It is curretly up to before Harry returns to Hogwarts in Book 2 of the Harry Potter series. The story is a defininate Harry/Ginny shipper, if you have a problem with that (and a lot of people I know do) then it's your loss. *shrugs*

Not so one-shot any more, as it happens.
Wizards Fall: Rescuing the Rescuer is a kind of prequal to Wizards Fall, though you'll need to be a registered member of FFA to read it, since it's a Mature-rated story.

Found one that might be amusing.

well, if you like reading extremely overpowered Mary-sue, with no morals whatsoever, snape bashing and memory manipulated harry; to a degree he isn't harry anymore, be my guest. Oh, and add Parselmouth, metamorphmagus, and he is giving hints of learning animagus.
<_< <_< <_<
well, at least grammar and spelling is Ok. IMHO, only palatable if you read it as a crackfic.

Attemting to save them from certain death, Kakashi sends Naruto, neji, tenten, sakura, sai kiba and shikamaru to Harry potter world with his black hole-mangekyou. Massive ninja nerf, but still a good read.
Bonus points for the lack of emo-duck, and Itachi.

In regards to my opinions on Kinsfire and Jeconais, for me they're ranked on the bottom of FanficAuthors.net's (FFA) authors.
Certainly nowhere near the Top or Bottom of my "Horrible Fanfics/Authors" list, Nuh Uh :no:.
I like the Ideas that their stories have, the premises and some elements fleshed out in them. I expand on this by saying I dislike "formulas" or the fact that both authors HAVE a formula thats used to execute their stories. I'll give examples if asked.
Today's recommendations can be found in a post made in the Lemon Section -> Harry Potter board.
Those of us who are Perverted Members go take a look. If you're underage then you shouldn't have the User Rights to go in there. :no:
Love/Sex Slave Stories?
Also in my post are pics on my Ideal Hermione and Tonks. Enjoy!

A small part of me can't help but think that Alan Rickman is responsible how Snape has played out in the last books.
He's stated to not go for Villian roles EDITED: I know I'm wrong on this he has appeared portraying bad guys (In ANY of the works he has appeared in) I feel the Snape in Deathly Hallows was written just for Rickman.
I also feel he's to blame for inciting the rabid Yaoi-Slash Fangirls. Lets face it, Rickman has a very powerful presence (in his roles) even playing Snape's ugly description seems as if he isn't.
Keeping that in mind, when Snape is used in stories where he isn't a greasy git I picture Rickman in my minds eye. When he's not I picture him not so favorably. (I do this with the other character's too)
Foloowing the above example today's story is from nonjon
Where in the World is Harry Potter?
COMPLETE. PostOotP. Harry Potter fulfilled the prophecy and has since disappeared. Or has he? Tonks and Hermione are the lead Order members continuously hoping to track him down. The question is: can they keep up with him?
It's only stories like this where I can put up with Snape.

Sorry, must disagree with you there. He's played two unashamedly mean bad guys. First, Hans Gruber in Die Hard. Second, The Sherriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
Those are just the two that come to mind - there may be more. But whether there are or not, he's done baddies. Snide, cynical, arrogant bastards, too - which pretty accurately describes Snape, no? :lol:

I rather doubt it. Alan Rickman is an incredible actor, but I don't think his portrayal of Snape is enough to overturn ten years of work -- minimum. Rowling got the idea for the series in 1990, and Philosopher's Stone was published in 1997, and the film version of it came out in 2001, already four books deep into the series.
I think it's far more likely that he just read the script very carefully, and maybe the books also (those published at the time, and then since).

Harry Potter Vizard
New story by Namelessheretic, it's pretty good so far but his stuff has a way of changing.

It slots in between the first one and the second.

Chronicles of Potter
It's short but it's good for a chuckle if you're a fan of the films: Harry Potter, son of Riddick.

I don't know why I haven't recommended this story sooner. Maybe because this thread has been a form of immersion therapy for me and I've run out of stuff to talk about.
With that out of the way today's featured is a weird story. Harry Potter and a character taken from Joss Whedon's Angel are put together and take on the combined worlds.
Harry Potter and the Shell of the God King
Summary: The aptly-named Department of Mysteries is home to a great many things that wizardkind does not yet understand. Luna releases one of them and forever alters the course of history. Branches off at OotP; darker and independent Harry.
Luna Lovegood dies and Illyria is reborn in her place. I can't wait for her to bump heads with the Watchers or other stupid mortals, and her re-establishing her religion with Harry Potter as the High Priest? Total Win.
There are no good pics from the Angel series out there, so a blonder version of her is what I'm imagining right now.
[quote="From Chapter 1 (Luna']Luna's hands slid over the stone like a lover's caress as she started at the far end and worked her way towards the gems. Five years. Five years she'd been waiting to find out what secrets this object heldà why it fascinated her so. Mother had been disturbed by her connection to it and had reluctantly agreed to let Luna help only if she hadn't figured it out by the end of the blonde's first year at Hogwarts. Then Mother had died, the sarcophagus taken from her, and the agreement meaningless.
Nobody understood what it was like to be her. The sarcophagus had sung to herà filled her with little bits of tempting information as payment for the task Luna would someday perform. Amazing creatures, hidden out of phase with reality by its creator. Places that humans would never be able to see. Her father tried to humor her, but she could tell even he didn't know what to make of her sometimes. Her peers didn't even make that effort. Loony Lovegood indeed.
Now, it was hers again. All hers. That was what mattered. Her previous problems were insignificant compared to that fact.
Moving to stand at the head of the sarcophagus, Luna leaned over the massive garnet. It was almost the size of her fist; it would probably fetch enough money on the open market to put her through the last three years of Hogwarts and on through an apprenticeship. But where it was at the momentà it was worth so much more. After a moment of hesitation, Luna lowered one hand and pushed down on the gem.
The spiral slowly unfurled to reveal utter blackness, the light of the room not penetrating enough to show the bottom or sides. Then there was harsh gust of wind and Luna sucked in a breath. The air was dirtyà more than merely musty, like trying to breath in a sandstorm. It burned in her lungs and her eyes watered, but Luna wasn't deterred. This was what she was meant to do. Her hand came up off the garnet and she leaned over, planting one hand on each of the sapphires that sat on either side of the spiral.
A heat blossomed in her, racing through her veins like fire. Luna took a breath, and then another as it became easier. Each beat of her heart made her lungs feel cooler while the rest of her body grew warmer. It was almost like the flush of arousal she sometimes felt when she looked at Harry, but so much more intense.
There was a flash of pain that made her hiss softly, followed by a wave of pleasure that made her knees wobbly. The two sensations warred back and forth inside her body, driving her towards insanity as she was brought along for the torturously rapturous ride. Finally, there was one sharp spike of pain behind her eyes and then she knew no more.[/quote]

I love when stories get dangerously close to breaking the Fourth Wall. Most of the time its done rather badly, but when used with a !Snarky Harry It's always good for a chuckle.
Breakage usually can appear when a story is written in a diary format (you know the "looking back" episode of any TV series is a good example). That said here are today's picks.
First up is 4 Out of 5 DADA Professors Recommend
Summary: With the DADA professor for 1996 - '97 being unknown, Dumbledore assigns all returning students a summer essay, ôWhat I have learned in DADA while at Hogwartsö. You wouldn't believe the approach Harry took, as some people are finding out, much to their shock.
Second is fresh off the presses by Bobmin.
Dear Tom
Summary: What is good for the gander is good for the goose. A short look at payback for all the manipulations in his life. Or, if you prefer, how the Order of the Phoenix becomes the Order of Egg on their Face.
Snarky rules the day! That also fills my Ginny quota for the month. No excerpts taken, it'll ruin the shock.
Anyone got picks of their own?
