Big yays. The first fic to be posted is <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/hd_holidays/108365.html">Master Work</a>. <br /><br /><i>Harry's eighth-year at Hogwarts is going about as well as all the others. Someone is out to get him, Aurors keep questioning him about the final battle and, worst of all, Draco is determined to repay his life debt to Harry.</i><br /><br />I am so very particular about HD fic these days. I've gone way past the <i>I'LL READ IT ALL!!</i> phase and settled stubbornly into the <i>Only the Best Will Do</i> stage. I don't rec this stuff lightly. This is a good fic, a nice long read with great characterisation and an interesting storyline. But the best part is the humour. It's funny all the way through with Draco exactly as I like him, sarcastic, slightly camp, completely capable of causing a scene without realising it, and witty. Great stuff.<br /><br /><br />And while I'm here: <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1090801/BBC-new-decency-row-Torchwood-star-John-Barrowman-exposes-live-broadcast.html">Whoops, Mr Barrowman</a>. What's that cliche about making a mountain out of a troll hill?<br /><br /><b>Edit:</b> <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7759215.stm">John has now apologised</a> Bad timing, honey, that was all. I for one squee at the thought of his fruit and nuts.
