Hi all, sticking my head back in once more after another prolonged absence, with one important question. Who's recent stories should I read first? (Basically plug your stuff!)

Always nice to see you again! by

My brain's a bit too scattered for story plugs right now, but I hope you're doing well out there in the real world!

Since OrangeFox plugged me, I'll return the favor: she's been one of our more active writers recently, and definitely deserves more readership!
ETA: I've been beta-reading for Ekwy's spin-off, so I must plug it. Also I really enjoy it. {= )
And, dunno if you're interested in non-PPC stories or ones with big time commitments, but I've also been involved behind the scenes with Lily Winterwood's deconstruction of the "Pureblood Culture" subgenre of Harry Potter fic, so I must plug that, too! I think the statements we're making about these tropes are important, and it's a fun ride. Definitely PPC-adjacent, in the spirit of critical reading and deconstruction. Plus some familiar names make appearances!

...Actually made me a little emotional seeing that. :3
I definitely second Lily's work too! Absolutely fascinated by that universe she made, and there's a lot to love about it. (And a lot OF it! Lily's a MACHINE, I am honestly so impressed.)

Which is none other than the (fairly long and arc-based) Four Demonly Kings spin-off and the much shorter (but still arc-based) Fairy Godfathers series that spun off from it.

I'm pretty certain I've read a lot of the Four Demonly Kings stuff, but I'm sure there's more. You were getting stories out pretty regularly when last I popped up. No idea how far I got, so I guess I'll just have to start from the beginning again. :)

For recent recs, I think Neshomeh's "Kitty Fever" is pretty fun! Granted, it's from a year ago so I'm not sure it counts as recent, but whatever.
I actually managed a good amount in the last year (two DIA snippets, a mission, a couple of interludes, a Cafeteria flashback piece) but if I had to choose one of my own to rec, I think I'd go with We Do a Little Trolling. It's one of the DIA ones, and the work of two years of procrastination (as one can tell by the Wiki troll I based this entire thing off of getting deleted off the wiki before I finished, and the main character being recruited from a mission over three years old. But I think it came out alright.
(And if I can rec an old one, Soap's entire Flaming Broomsticks spinoff is phenomenal - the most recent one would be The Angsty Story, if I remember right.)
Nice to see you again!

You should totally read mine.
Or not, I'm lazy and haven't written anything for a while, and my stuff is kinda mediocre.

Thanks for the welcome back, and I'll get onto reading (and probably rereading in some instances) those stories. :)
