I've been forced to keep quiet so so so long about this, and now I'm bursting. LOL

I know I'm blessed to be co-beta-reading with [livejournal.com profile] robisonrocket [livejournal.com profile] little_beloved's Denial. If you haven't read it, let it be known that it's a classic in the making, and what kind of fan are you anyway if you've not read it???

But I digress. While I was writing NMME for the exchange, my dear friend asked if I'd mind beta-reading one for her for the post DH challenge. I agreed to since I love her writing anyway, and any excuse to let Lucius simmer in the background was welcome to me because he was such a demanding bastard character. I was hooked from the first word. I've been urging her, Imperiusing her, Cruciusing her, coaxing her after every single chapter she sent me so I could read another update. And it worked pretty well, seeing there have been regular updates. And finally, now, the results of the post DH Challenge are posted, I can recommend my favourite story of all: Breaching the Otherworld by the inimitable [livejournal.com profile] southernwitch69. If you like intelligent, a touch of darkness, lack of any kind of cheese, realistic characterisation, read it. It came first in the voting, in a voting process where nobody knew who wrote what. It was a tight contest, with the top votes changing every day while the voting went on. But I'm very happy with the results. Congratulations to all winners!
