Harry/Ron fic rec
I'm actively engaging in the privilege of beta'ing a really well done WIP by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
auntee_mame, The Darkest Recesses of the Heart. I really do enjoy beta'ing for the most part, but I may perhaps be somewhat unintentionally frustrating in that while I definitely squee to the authors in person, especially when beta'ing, often I don't revisit their fics once they're out in public to voice my pleasure there. This story is a WIP, but I have no doubt that she'll finish it over time, if only to prevent me coming up there and demanding to know how it ends!! auntee_mame (formerly known as Kerryblaze) is a very solid writer, and this fic is no exception; it's plotty, has enough angst and realism to really appeal to me (not to mention the pairing), but one of my favorite aspects of it is the original characters she's crafted. I've been a sucker for original characters and them fitting seamlessly into canon fic since my very first fanfic story, ever, Boar and Steward, a Tolkien fic about a fictitious eight year old girl of Rohan. I wrote it not knowing that OCs were nearly always immediately regarded with apprehension, especially female ones. I suppose since mine was a young girl, it escaped the knee-jerk Mary Sue label. At any rate, in The Dark Recesses of the Heart there's a bevy of original characters and they're three-dimensional, as is the town in which nearly all of the story has taken place, a real town in the U.S.
So if you're a Harry/Ron fan, go off and read The Darkest Recesses of the Heart, currently at eleven chapters. It's been primarily gen so far, but she's starting to get into nearly-adult territory, which promises to be delicious and quite satisfying for the characters once it occurs. If it does! I don't know how it'll all pan out— another bonus to beta'ing something like this as she's writing it. I've never beta'ed a WIP before, it now occurs to me. Anyway, I recommend this story without reservation. If you enjoy it too, let her know!

I love her OC's - a fun little gay community in small-town Pennsylvania. And I love her Ron and Harry. Very sweet, sad, and a bit hot.
Good rec!

And I'm thrilled to see the references to EdgeRadio! So glad you enjoy it...best to get it in now, as it all might be over come July 15...

Um... you may need to remind me what's happening July 15... I'm EdgeRadio's personal cheerleader! Watch me spread the EdgeRadio gospel hither and yon!! Woot!

And as to EdgeRadio...you might need to go to this site:
http://www.savenetradio.org
July 15th may well be the last day for EdgeRadio...I hope that that's not the case, but at this point, it's not looking good. There's no way I can afford to pay several hundred dollars per month, over and above what I'm paying now, to keep it going...but that's what the new licensing fees would be...oh, and yeah, they've made the fees retro-active to 2006, which would mean that I'd owe tens of thousands of dollars...asshats!
Bloody corporate hacks and their lackeys!
