![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) beholder_mod: HP Beholder 2011 Fic & Art Master List
And here we have it, the 60 stories and works of art from this year's ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) hp_beholder exchange, now with names attached. Authors and Artist: you're at liberty to post your work wherever you want! Once again, stories that were too long for a single IJ post were hosted on the HP Beholder Dreamwidth community. If anybody would like a Dreamwidth invite, email me at beholder.mod at gmail and let me know. Art, however, I still hosted on my own website, so Artists: please give me the new links for your art as soon as you re-upload, so that I can update the coding. And Authors: if you'd like me to add a preferred redirect for your stories, just let me know! ( ART )( ART/ILLUSTRATIONS & FIC )( FIC ) ( Statistics )I'd like to close with a few thanks…first to all the participants and watchers who offered to pinch hit (and especially to the wonderful florahart who actually did write a pinch hit - and did a brilliant job of it). I'd also like to thank the authors who graciously agreed to behind-the-scenes re-assignments when…issues arose. :D And for the fourth year, many thanks to all our wonderful participants and all the folks who read stories and admired art and left feedback and made recs in their journals and who were so positive and supportive about the uncommon pairings that are at the heart of hp_beholder.

beholder_mod: FIC: "Records are for Keeping" for regan_v
Recipient: regan_vAuthor: florahartTitle: Records are for Keeping Rating: PG-ish (I can't explain it either) Pairing: Irma Pince/Silvanus Kettleburn Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Nothing to speak of.* Summary: There is no spell to account for people trying to take things from the library unnoticed. Irma sets out to fix that. Author's Notes: The first name for Kettleburn comes from Beedle the Bard. We have no canon whatsoever for Pince's actual age or house (or Kettleburn's, although BB indicates he has been around since the era in which Tom Riddle was a student), so I am making her relatively new to Hogwarts in that same timeframe. My apologies for lack of smut; Silvanus didn't want to be too forward. ( Records are for Keeping )

beholder_mod: ART: "Awkward Situation" for scarletladyy
Recipient: scarletladyyArtist: vikingcarrot / carrotTitle: Awkward Situation Rating: R Pairings: Macnair/Pansy Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Bondage, dubious
consent.*. Artist's Notes: Though she isn't one of the options for Beholder, I chose to go with Pansy as the primary focus of this art, as you said she's your most favourite character. So Macnair will just have to suffer the indignity of not having his face visible and you can imagine he looks however you like. I hope you like the art, scarletladyy. :) ( Awkward Situation )

To my beta T, thank you ever so for whipping this into shape at the last possible moment. You're a lifesaver. All remaining mistakes are mine. And finally, bethbethbeth, I thank you immensely for hosting this fest, for promoting unpopular characters, and for putting up with my terribly slow writing and revising process.

beholder_mod: ART: "Where Are You Going, My Love?" for vissy
Recipient: vissy Artist: venturous / venturous1 Title: Where Are You Going, My Love? Rating: R Pairings: Tom Riddle Sr., Merope Gaunt Medium: photoshop Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * non-con implied, nudity*. Summary:As the potion wears off, young Tom sees the girl he bedded more clearly, and is horrified. Artist's Notes: I used the art of Egon Schiele and Harmen Jansz Muller . Schiele is well known for his disturbing and emaciated nudes. Muller is a 16th c engraver, about whom I found very little on the web. I have a wonderful ' Joseph & Potiphar's wife' engraving in a book, that gave me this composition. This theme shows the man fleeing the temptation of woman's clutches. A serious danger, as we all know. ( Where Are You Going, My Love? )

Summary:When Millicent Bulstrode was found guilty of colluding with known Death Eaters, she was forced to endure two years of indentured servitude at the Romanian Dragon Reserve waiting hand and foot on Charlie Weasley. It doesn't get more draconian than that. Author's Notes: psyfic, I was elated when I got your assignment and tried to give you as many things that you loved as I could. This was not even close to what I had originally planned on writing for you (or who!) but these two shouted the loudest and made their demands known. I certainly had fun giving in to them. I hope you enjoy it and will forgive me for the lack of Snapeness. Thanks to R. for all of her support and nurturing, as well as K and S for betaing and cheerleading, and of course bethbethbeth for being so patient and understanding.
