[annafugazzi]

As of today there's an even dozen fics at hd_worldcup! The prompt is The Hanged Man.

• The Spell - Team Fanon
  Wordcount: ~7900
  Rating: NC-17
  Warnings: Dub-con, cross-dressing.
  Summary: It was extraordinary to have such power over someone to whom you longed only to submit.- Alan Hollinghurst
  Author's Note: Based on the card's interpretation as willing submission, its association with water, and on Newton's Laws of Motion. Thanks to my awesome TBA betas and Team Fanon!
  
  
• The Arc of the Pendulum - Team EWE

  Rating: NC-17
  Warnings: A bit of gore
  Summary: After his father casts a mysterious curse on Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy is forced to try to make things right.

• How You Carry On - Team Epilogue
  Wordcount: ~7000
  Rating: R
  Summary: Harry just wants to do the right thing. When did that become so bloody difficult?
  Author's Note: Thanks to my unnamed beta, who braved my handwriting to read this in progress! Card interpretation included in the story; I included both the standard reading and the reversal. Go Team Epilogue!
  
  
  
• Protect Me From What I Want - Team Canon
  Wordcount: 4,000
  Rating: PG
  Warnings: A lot of Angst, perhaps.

  Author's Note: Many thanks to B. for her last-minute help whipping this into shape. ♥ Thanks also to A. and F. for all of their brilliance and encouragement. So much love!

I am constantly impressed with the caliber of writing in this fest. Just... there's some AMAZING fic out there that will become favorites for me longtime.

being on one of the teams, I'm going to wait to comment until it's over, but I've got a list so far of the ones I'm gonna rec to everyone. Dying to find out who's written some of these.

:D

Oh for sure! My one regret is I haven't read nearly as much as I would've liked to. But hey, that's why God invented bookmarks ;)

Dying to find out who's written some of these.
Me too, though I won't even try to guess because I suck at guessing these things.

I'm sure you all explained it before, but I was wondering if there were specific fics in this Worldcup that you wrote or took part in.

Which ones? Are you part of a team?

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

I wrote one of them, for Team Epilogue, but I'm not allowed to say which one, or even whether it's gone up or not :)

There's a meme going around, a "Guess Which Fic I Wrote" thing, but I don't know if I'll do it. For one thing, you're supposed to offer a prize, and yeah, I dunno. I still owe people from the last meme I did, which was... about a year ago.

Ooh, ooh! Do I have the right to say here which one I think might be yours?
I haven't looked at that many of them, but there is one by Team Epilogue, which I think sounded like something your might write!

(I wouldn't ask for anything in return if I guess right!...and if I'm wronf, I won't even be embarrassed))

Hi,

I think fewer people have accounts on InsaneJournal than livejournal. I loved reading the stories, but could not rate them because I do not have an InsaneJournal account. Why are they not posted on livejournal anymore?

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

Yeah I noticed that. I dunno. I can't vote anyway, because I'm on one of the teams, but it's surprising that they changed things around like that. I'm sure the mods have a good reason, but I don't know what it could be.

Sorry!
