Monday, off to a very Monday start.

This post from Diana Gabaldon's blog regarding fanfic is kind of depressing, partly because I had not realized the lady in question felt quite that way about the matter, and partly because I will now inevitably spend the rest of the day composing ever more perfect replies which I will never actually post.

Dammit, Monday.

Monday rectification effort starts now.

Moving on to something more productive than the topic of my last post: you guys, sometimes I am really, really, really slow to realize things.

Like, for example, I just realized in a burst of light on Saturday, May 1, in the year 2010, that Neville Longbottom is pretty much the archetype of everything that makes my favorite characters my favorite, and that is why I like reading good, long fic about him so much and think glumly that there is too little of it.

And then, also this weekend, also in the year 2010, I read Night-blooming Heartsease for the first time (I know! But I'm slow and also I used to be a lot more averse to deathfic, I guess.) and of course it was fantastically brilliant and I should have read it a long time ago but now I have read it and I'm not aware of any other Brilliant Neville Epics that I have been putting off reading so I'm at a bit of a loss.

I have read all the Lust Over Pendle stories twice, and I have read Helen's Theft of Assets, Destruction of Property at least three times, and that one - Strange Bedfellows? - where Draco is Neville's secretary also twice, so, um. If anybody wanted to rec me fic where Neville is awesome and quietly competent and gets the guy or girl or whomever, that would be fabulous.
