In other news, I FINALLY have read some of the Battlefields of Slash Zine. IT SO TOTALLY ROCKS! Besides the gorgeous presentation *bows to
"Drive" by Libertine just totally blew me away. Wonderful characterization of Ginny. I do not take this lightly, mostly people can't write a Ginny that I love. The psychology in this story is beautiful. This is a story that I'm going to be rereading.
"Cold Hands" by Ivy Blossom was gorgeous. God, the doom between Harry and Draco was profound. Lovely.
(Speaking of Doom, the "Pairings of Doom" were funny. Especiall "Draco/fish." And I love what Starkiller wrote for Hermione/Hagrid - Big brown eyes in the face of a pretty girl can melt even the hardest of hearts.)
"I Would Never Leave You, Ever" by Zed Adams. Creepy!
"White Silk and Pink Lace" by SkyFire was so fucking funny! I just about had an aneurysm trying to stifle my laughter so the other people on the bus wouldn't think I was crazy. Poor Elladan, indeed! Actually, I think this story would fit in well with GoR. Heh.
"The Midas Touch" by Starkiller and Vayshti scares me. Dear god! Wrong, in so many ways, but in presentation it was JUST RIGHT. Eep! Enjoyed it so!
"Summertime" by Starkiller and Mistress Darke Shadow rocked. A wonderful Garibaldi. Beautiful obsession. I do, however, wish it had ended on that bittersweet note, that hole of sorrow Garibaldi was in (the line "None of you(r) business. At all."). I did enjoy the ending (quite a bit, actually, beautiful sweetness there) but I think it would have been more powerful without the happy. Another story that I will be rereading.
"Pain is Pleasure" by Kebi... Eek! Harry/Tom! *runs and hides*
So. Those are the ones I've read so far. I'll have time for more later. Gooooooooooood stuff. Mmmmm, yummy slash. We lovesss your zine, doesn't we preciousss?
