Three cheers for celisnebula! Hip hip hurrah! Hip hip hurrah! Hip hip HURRAH!

Nominee of the Day: Lady Strange

I have often called mmestrange the Hermione of fanfic writers. Her research is so thorough and her stories so rich in detail ... reading a Lady Strange fic is like examining all the details on a tapestry that combine to make a beautiful picture.

Here's her profile at Ashwinder, and the following stories are eligible for this round:

Beyond Time and Space. Complete in twenty chapters. Summary: What happens when Severus dies in the final battle? He returns as a ghost, of course. Chapter 1 opens with a news report and traces Hermione's thoughts on her former potions master's demise. This response to the WIKTT “Ghost Challenge” maybe a little AU and OOC for some.

Instructing the Professor. Complete in eight chapters. Summary: Ever wondered who inspired Severus's decision to teach? Ever wondered how this was done? This is my version of what happened. Response to the WIKTT “Snape’s Teaching Methods” Challenge.

Method in Madness. Complete in ten chapters. Summary: Hermione has to help Severus recover after the final battle.

Pas de Deux. Complete in five chapters. Summary: Response to WIKTT's “Love in four stages” challenge, written as a ballet performance, where SS and HG fall in love gradually moving from acquaintance, mutual respect and admiration, mutual trust and love. Tale opens following the post-Shrieking Shack incident and ends at the end of the 7th book. Severus is harangued by Dumbledore and his own feelings of self-loathing; Hermione apologises to him and defends him against the rest of trio. Yet, all is not well...

Proestigium. Complete in forty-two chapters. Summary: An epistolary story based on the WIKTT “Arsenius Jigger” challenge. There will be 42 letters in all. Correspondences trace the changing lives and times of the various characters in the HP universe as well as some new characters.

Enjoy!

(I may end up reccing more than one eligible author each day, since there are so many whose work I admire and enjoy.)
