Guest Rumpelstiltskin Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) December Story of the Month Nominations How it works: This thread is for you to nominate your favorite stories to be recognized as the HPFT Story of the Month. Seconding isn't necessary as all stories will move on to the voting round. Mid-month, a prefect will post a voting poll with the stories that received the most votes. Don't worry about having to rush. You'll have about 10 days to read the stories and vote for your favorite! We will announce the winner on the first of the month. The winner will receive a cool prize! Please post your nominations in this thread using the following format: Title: Author: Link to Story [+Rating if Mature]: Warnings [if applicable]: Why do you think this Story deserves to be Nominated?: Rules for nomination: 1.

crowsb4bros Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Title: The Skull Beneath the Skin Author: esmeraude Link(s) to story With Rating: here (M) Warnings (if applicable): Hate Speech, Slavery, Violence Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: I think this story is told in a really unique perspective that makes you very sympathetic for characters that I don't think you typically would care too terribly for otherwise. It exposes pureblood families and expectations in a realistic manner and you'll fall in with the characterization of everyone. I'm trying to tiptoe around it all without revealing any major spoilers, but I think it's one of the most well-written and attention grabbing stories around. :) Edited November 5, 2017 by PaulaTheProkaryote code was a solid no go. will investigate later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rumpelstiltskin Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Title: Volatile Author: caomoyl Link(s) to story With Rating: +click [Teen] Warnings (if applicable): Violence Why do you think this story deserves to be nominated?: This brief look into the Ariana, Albus, Aberforth dynamic is wonderfully unique and surprisingly chilling in such as short piece. I think the author did a wonderful job in revealing so much characterization in under 600 words. A fantastic new perspective of a sad tale.

crimson quill Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Title: Once Upon the Marauders (m) Author: FlamingQuilltips Link to Story: Once Upon the Marauders (m) Warnings: Hate Speech, Sexual Content and Substance Abuse. Nomination Reason: Ysh has worked so hard on this project and it's such a wonderful story, she knows everything about these characters. She has made their stories engaging through their Hogwarts lives so far and the characterisation is amazing. You just feel the love that she has for the characters as you're reading. I have to admit I haven't finished all the chapters that she has up yet! It would make a very deserving winner though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Blue Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Title: to the end of time Author: clairevergreen Link to Story [+Rating if Mature]: (M) Warnings [if applicable]: sexual content Why do you think this Story deserves to be Nominated?: This story is a series of snapshots about Parvati and Lavender over time and the characters are portrayed so wonderfully - as individuals as well as their relationship to each other. And the story showcases Claire's incredible ability to say a lot in few words. It's just a really great story 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
