Nominee of the Day: amr

amr is an amazing writer. Her fics are beautifully detailed from start to finish, and her plots yank you in and don't let you go. I highly recommend anything she's written, but these three fics are the ones that are eligible for this round of the sshg_awards:

The Lioness Prophecies
Not work-safe. Summary: On Valentine's Day of Harry Potter's sixth year, a new prophecy is heard which suggests that Severus Snape's marriage may offer great help in the war against Voldemort. Albus Dumbledore decides to take action to ensure that the prophecy comes about.

Snape's Boon
Also not work-safe. Summary: Hermione wakes up tired, sore, and injured, and tries to work out what’s happened to her.

Mists of Time
Summary: Severus Snape knew that things would go wrong the minute the headmaster's worried face appeared in his fireplace. And he was right.

Go read, if you haven't already. Her fics are beautiful works of art. And when you're through reading, be sure to nominate!

this meme was brought to you by the letter B

Comment, and I will give you a letter. Then, in your LJ you have to list ten things you love (in no particular order) that start with the letter I assign you.

dhark_charlotte gave me B:

1. birds, especially pelicans and owls

2. best friends

3. books (that's a no-brainer)

3a. bookmarks, which I collect

4. Boo, my darling niece

5. B series on QI, which is being released on DVD this week

6. black is the colour of my true love's hair (and his robes, and his eyes, and often his mood ...) *points to icon*

7. book club, even when meetings are difficult, the conversation stilted, and no one has read the book recently or finished it

8. Boca burgers -- I had my first one last night at Johnny Rocket's, and it was REALLY good

9. Boo-Boo and Bubba, my Beastie Boys -- sweet, cuddly felines

10. brainy men

Want to play?

And for those of you who enjoy the movie,

Mis Pettigrew Lives for a Day is being reprinted in the US! (I got impatient and spent pots and pots of money on a new book and shipping from the UK last summer.)
