Monday Morning Antidote

[therealsnape]

Normally, I'm not much of a Monday morning person. But today started blissfully: three (yes, THREE new Minerva stories - winners, all of them.

I'd love to leave you one of those handy links that get you straigth to the story itself. Unfortunately I've an allergic reaction to my hands as a result of antibiotics, and something in my right wrist that feels as an inflammation of its own.

So please forgive me for getting you general directions - mouse clicking and the whole complicated copy-and-paste work is agony. In each case it's the most recent post on the journal, so click the username and you'll get there reasonably well, too.

kellychambliss posted "Still Waters", a Wilhelmina (Grubbly-Plank, need I say it?)/ Minerva story with large helpings of fish pie, chocolate gateau, and Amelia Bones. And it has illustrations by a talented young artist. It's a delight from start to finish.

lash_larue posted (hold on to your chairs, take a deep breath) a Minerva / Dobby story. For the faint-hearted: it's friendship. And a political statement on the position of Elves. And it has Mr. Toad. And it's chock-a-block with stunning oneliners.
She posted it to the marvellous new community minerva_fest. Go there, sign up if you haven't done so yet, enjoy this story.

For those who hadn't noticed yet: Minerva will be 85 this coming October, and the fest-community will celebrate that, but it's an ongoing feast there as well.

And finally acceb123 posted a Minerva/Snape that has it all: friendship, turning into a spectacular Grimmauld-place sexscene, some great comments on Albus ...

Go and have fun. Again, sorry for the lousy Portkeys, but I can only manage normal typing right now.

Oh yes to the recs! I'm off to re-read "Still Waters" right away -- well, you know already how much I love it.

Incidentally, was your comment to lash_larue's delightful fic screened, too, when you posted it? Mine is, and I wonder whether that's because only clicked on "watch this community" instead of joining it.

And sorry to hear that the hands haven't improved yet. Hope the wrist pain isn't what you fear it is.

I guess my comment is screened, too. I can see it when I'm logged in, but if you can't, then it must be screened.
I did join the community, instead of just watching.
Right now, there are 4 comments: 2 from Kelly, 2 from me (that I can see). See no trace of your comment at all, strangely enough.

Funny...I can see yours and Kelly's but not mine. I'll try joining; perhaps that'll work. Or your comment was un-screened some time after you posted it.

It appears that comments/posting are moderated; I'm not sure why. I'll check with Vane (one of the other mods; she's the one who set up the comm).
