For the Best New Author category, just leave out the Title line.

Self-nominations will not be counted. A nomination by an Author who nominates themselves or one of their Fics will not be considered, but if they are nominated by someone else, that nomination will be counted.

Do NOT use this thread to discuss the nominated fics; that can be done in the Recommendations Forums. If your nomination does not already have a Rec thread, why not enter it into our Rec Engine? Also, please keep all discussion in those threads civil; no flaming, name-calling, or bashing of others' work is allowed. If behavior of this kind occurs, then any activity relating to the Awards will be postponed until further notice.

Okay, enough with the modly stuff...let's get this show on the road!

QUOTE (puck_nc)
I love the grace of the symbolism in the photographs. I love how the emotions flowed one to the next in a believable and smooth manner, with no little jumps to throw the reader out of the story. I love how you brush upon so many themes and character traits and plot points without belaboring a single one.


QUOTE (AllyRosePotter)
Simply amazing story. Not for me to question JKR, but that should have been in OOPT, but since it wasn't, I hope that she will include something like that when those two do show each other how they feel.
I don't usually review (I know that's evil crying.gif), but I couldn't NOT let you know what an amazing author you are. Keep writing.

AllyRose


QUOTE (msgenevieve)
I have a confession to make. I was browsing through my copy of OotP last night, and for a few seconds I found myself thinking "hang on, where's the bit where Hermione and Harry have that talk in his room?" You, my dear, have caused me Canon Confusion, lol!

Seriously, this is a wonderful piece. It reads like canon, it feels like canon, I wish with all my heart that it was canon. Thanks so much for sharing.


QUOTE (Amethyst)
This fic is...amazing. There have been a lot of stories since OotP that revolve around this basic idea, but I think this is the most well-written one I've read.

The subtlety and simplicity of it is fantastic, and the ending is incredibly sniffle-worthy.

Awesome job. This is definitely one to brag about.


QUOTE (romulus lupin)
I will never tire of telling you this: 'This is a work that can easily eclipse everything else around it, because of its simple beauty.'


QUOTE (Track11)
That was incredibly brilliant...from beginning to end. A masterfully constructed piece. Quiet, eloquent and beautiful. Your writing is clean and crisp, your word choices careful and precise; and I get the feeling you knew exactly where you wanted to go with this, and got there. Your way with words is impeccable, as every emotion communicated was palpable, every action described significant. Nothing is wasted. The prose just flows so well. Everything is written is such a way that allows the reader to see and feel what is happening, rather than just reading about it.

I thought your decision to use very little dialogue quite effective. And when there was dialogue, it was realistic and true to the characters and the situation. You have managed to capture the essence of Harry and Hermione's relationship perfectly. I love how you left the end to the reader's imagination, not only the mystery of how ...
<removed spoilers> ~gal-texter
Even with those questions lingering, and this being only a one-shot snippet, it still left me wholly satisfied and fulfilled.


QUOTE (SheWhoHathAPen)
This is wonderful and extremely touching. You reach a great level of emotional depth without ever going overboard into the realm of the purple prose.

This also strikes me as quite realistic. No full-blown romance out the blue or even great declarations of love. It (especially Hermione's part of the narrative), to me, exemplifies the bond between Harry and Hermione. It is something deep and potent that they rely on but do not truly understand yet. The way you've demonstrated it here speaks volumes more than any blurted "I love you"s or heated snogging.

QUOTE (Review)
SPOILER!
Stoneheart, this story was fantastic. Part of the beauty of it was the simplicity - don't beat yourself up over that part. It was a very sweet story and I am glad that you were able to give your child a face lift - you did an awesome job with it.

QUOTE (Review)
SPOILER!
Fantastic! I don't know what your original draft was like, but I think the events in OOTP make this story that much more endearing.

There are two things I would like to see. I would like to see you go back and show how Harry and Hermione started dating to begin with. The images you conjured with them sneaking out to the pumpkin patch to be together was just too cute.

Secondly, I would like to see a sequel to this showing their plans to get married, as well as the battle against Voldemort. This was so superbly written, I would like to see how you would continue this.

Nicely done!

QUOTE (Review)
SPOILER!
Bloody Brilliant!  thumbup.gif Nicely written. It included alot of diffrent emotional elements from humor to fear to at last a blooming love. It's sad to finaly call this story over and done and sadly in the end all good things must come to an end. I look forward to seeing your next story. I request however that you consider continuing this story such an epic tale should be told in all its glory from begining to end. This story is such a wonderful begining for H/Hr it would be equally wonderful to see how they evolve throughout their last year and the final battle. Well until your next story, See Ya! thumbup.gif

QUOTE (Review)
SPOILER!
I am SO in love with this story! wub.gif  I can't believe you had us waiting so long for this chapter - you had me so fooled! This is very original, and very well written too. I hope to hear from you soon. Congratulations on such a wonderful story!

QUOTE (Review)
SPOILER!
Bravo! Woo-hoo! That was so creative, fantastic, spectacular and wonderful beyond belief! I loved the ending and the beginning and the end. This is going up on my recommended list on my website straight away! heart.gif  heart.gif

Anyways, I had some doubts after Hermione saw what was in the cards but I loved how you twisted everything around. Harry - adopted! Genius, I say, genius!

Blood magic will never be completely understood. But now, to me, this is exactly how it should work and if I didn't know any better - I'd say you were J.K. Rowling and this was a preview for book 6 and/or 7. (Yes, *that's* how much I liked it!)

Beautiful job and plus, you are a great writer and I loved how you described Harry and Hermione's first kiss. That was (erm - more describing words...) spiffing!

Ha, can't wait for more! thumbup.gif

I might have overdone the spoiler bit, but instead of trying to guess what might or might not constitute a spoiler, I went ahead and counted the entire review of the final chapter as spoilers. Stoneheart did a great job with this story and it's a rewrite to include OotP spoilers so I consider it a new fic vs a previously posted one. If Stoneheart disagrees, then it's fine if the nom is removed wink.gif I just had to nominate it after I read it today w00t.gif

Ok - I'm new at posting here, so I'm editing what I wrote yesterday as I figure things out . . .

TheGreatFox2000 has produced an AMAZING first major work (novel length fic) in The Path Ahead and while that work may or may not win in its category there is no doubt in my mind that it marks its author as worthy of serious consideration in THIS category! Not to mention that another of his works Who Turned Off the Water? has been nominated in the Fluff category . . . Keep your eye on this kid . . .

Sampling of reviews: I love the grace of the symbolism in the photographs. I love how the emotions flowed one to the next in a believable and smooth manner, with no little jumps to throw the reader out of the story. I love how you brush upon so many themes and character traits and plot points without belaboring a single one.

It's been a long and arduous process, laced with many, many prayers that my browser wouldn't crash... Thanks to all the fabulous authors that make Portkey such a fascinating, intelligent and humorous place to come and get lost in the fantasy of H/Hr.

Curt - sorry if I botched any of the links!

P.S. - I can't believe I forgot to do this (it as 1:30am by the time I finished posting), but thank you so much to those of you who nominated me. I can't tell you how much it means just to be recognized, even more so when you realize all the fantastic stories that are posted here daily.

*rofl* you don't have to apologize wink.gif It's just nice to browse the nominations in my email intead of their urls wink.gif

Thanks for the nom! smile.gif I keep hoping that something else of mine gets a nomination, but I don't think anything I have really lends itself to the quality that TTTB became, thanks to my betas on that one wink.gif

Ok, off to write something more (well, sleep then write tomorrow) while I have some free time... biggrin.gif

I honestly love comedy but I don’t really like it in fics because authors who try it can rarely accomplish good comedy without changing the characters too much. You really are the exception because not only was this fic hysterical (I had tears of laughter after reading some chapters and stomach aches from laughing so hard in others) but you also managed to keep the characters all in character to a believable extent. At first I just thought you fic was just weird, in a good way of course just funny weird, but then you tied everything together beautifully and everything made complete sense. I loved that from the first chapter all the way to the last chapter the comedy was never lost and the story was pretty original and interesting. We have way too much angst on this site that it really is extremely refreshing and exciting to see something different and original and not depressing or clichéd. Amazing job! Sad to see it end but glad it ended as it did.

QUOTE
The whole plot is unexpected as well, which is great. I find stories on Portkey are hopelessly predictable but this one isn't! I've been on my toes the whole time. That's just amazing. Which, in my opinion, sets you apart from the rest of us lowly, predictable, wanna-be authors. (Damn you and your talent!) So all in all, I have to say that this story is climbing the charts of my favourites and if you keep it up, I have no doubt that it will be resting quite peacefully at spot number one.


I'm sure there would have better reviews, but people were too hurt to type from laughing so much.

First I'd like to extend a warm round of thanks for those that have nominated The Triumvirate of Resolve and Reprieve for awards. The readership here at PK has always been so supportive of my and my writing. I am continually humbled by the nominations.

Now...onto mine. I will say this took a lot more time than I thought it would and I know I've missed some in here somewhere. I also think these have all been nominated already so it was probably an effort in futility (on my part) to go through the nominating again smile.gif However, these are wonderful authors who deserve all the recognition they can get!

Actually, if at all possible, I would like to second Leigh's idea of combining "The Snitch" with "Scratching the Itch". I also nominated them both, but considering they are, in essence, the same story, it does make more sense to combine them that way.

I'm glad she thought of that!

Curt - can we change them up that way?

First, I want to thank everyone that's nominated my stories for awards. I really appreciate the support that I've continually recieved here at Portkey.

With that said, there are lots of other authors worthy of awards. Below are the ones that I feel warrant nominations.

Now for a bit of constructive criticism regarding nominations. It is too laborious. It is such an ass whipping to get three links per story plus find a 'sample recommendation' it's amazing that as many stories are nominated as have been. Maybe I'm low maintence but give me the link and I can find the author page and the rec thread if I really want it. I wonder if more people would nominate more fics if the process wasn't so time consuming. It seems to me that the inclusion of all of this information is more necessary when voting begins and not in the nominations.

Just my two cents.

Good luck to all nominees!

Well, that was a pleassant way to start the day. A lovely, fluffly missing moment with some terrific Gred & Forge characterization on top. Nice job. I enjoyed reading it.


QUOTE
Wow, this was amazing!

You've really, for me at least, captured Rowling's style. That, if anything, is what makes a great fic, for me. Also, Harry and Hermione were perfectly portrayed, and I've never read a better interpretation of Fred and George, those ridiculous mischief makers.

Keep up the great work! I've also read "Advice for the Falling," and that was great as well. Kudos!


QUOTE
Fred and George are perfect as is their creation.

You've really captured the oddness that would come at that moment, and the sweetness... and like Harry, I love that she doesn't break their handholding.

Lovely.


QUOTE
Ahhhhhhhh  I just read the story for the 10th time and it still has the same effect on me that it did before. I know I've reviewed before but I might've been under a different name I'm not sure... anyway I still think that this is the best story on planet earth!! It rox!!! In all my life I have never read a BOOK or a fanfic that has been as good as this one has so far! I say book because I consider this as a book in progress(even though it's only a fic)YOU need to update PLEASE I AM begging you.
I'll write back later. Lauren-Danille


QUOTE
You know, I've read this once before, and it's still a very enjoyable read. : ) Good job with it! H/Hr and some form of snow a good combination does make, and you've managed to pull this off quite excellently.

Thanks for a good read.

Sampling of reviews: I loved it! it's a perfect one shot fic, one of the best I've read, or at least one of the ones I've liked the most, because it doesn't go into much you know, it just says what it has to be said, nothing more, nothing less. It's what we have "read between the lines" reflected in Hermione's view. Very well done!!!

First of all I like to thank every author on portkey.org that takes the time to write these great stories that offer countless of hours of fun for us readers. If H/Hr somehow would not happen in canon we have at least these stories to read about what a wonderfull couple they really are.

And what would the stories be without a place to keep them archived and frequently updated, so also a big thanks to portkey.org. A safe harbor for those who ship H/Hr.

Extra comment: It's not just smut it's a really tragic and angsty story as well, just smut wouldn't do it justice. It's one of the few pieces that really got me emotional at times. Although I read the story just after I broke up with my GF which could be a reason I was slightly more vulnerable at the time wink.gif.
