~NOMINATE A FICTION~

Welcome to the Audiofictions Nomination Chamber! Here, you may nominate a fiction you want to hear on Audiofictions. Before posting your nomination, please check through this thread, as well as the Audiofictions Library, to ensure that you do not post a fiction which has already been read or nominated. DO NOT POST REPEAT NOMINATIONS. We look at every nomination - posting repeats does not grant the nomination extra attention or a better chance of being read. If your nomination has been deleted, it has either been selected to be read, has been read, or has been deemed invalid when judged against the below criteria.

A few rules and tips for nominations:

• We do not read incomplete fictions
• We do not read song fictions unless the song is in public domain, or unless we get the author's approval to remove the lyrics from the fiction
• Longer fictions (10+ chapters) are less likely to be read, but can still be nominated
• One-shots are greatly valued and always welcome
• Please avoid using excessive HTML coding in your nomination (such as colors and font style). It will not help attract extra attention to your nomination; don't worry, we look at every single one

Please use the following format for nominating the fiction you wish to be read:

Summary: Twelve years ago, one man's life was changed forever by three simple words: “Severus, I'm pregnant.” Now, twelve years later, a girl will embark on the journey of a lifetime.

One man's desperate search. One last chance for Severus Snape to find the daughter he lost.

Ratings: 1st-2nd Years
Chaptered/One-Shot: Chaptered (6)
Summary: What does Lord Voldemort do in his spare time? Well, that's an excellent question. Who would have known that the Dark Lord has a blog? (He also has a loyal following of readers, most of whom are Death Eaters and who post their comments.) Voldemort dispenses advice on everything from murder methods to germ protection to Power Rangers to shoes, and gives an account of the life of an evil overlord. But is he posting too much personal information online? And will Harry read it and find out more about the Dark Lord than Voldemort ever intended? Read and see.

Note: CHAPTER 2 NOT YET READ - NEW READER REQUIRED.

Name: luinrina/Bine
Title: Recolitus Optimus
Author: megan_lupin
Category: 3rd-5th Years
Warnings: None
Ratings: Marauder Era
Chaptered/One-Shot: Chapters (2)
Summary: Who would have thought that a sleepless night would spawn an adventure that includes Dark magic, giants, Diagon Alley, secret societies, and ancient prophecies? Certainly not Sirius Black.
Link: Recolitus Optimus
Why This Fiction Should be Chosen: This is such a wonderful mystery story, and Megan included so many original ideas and thus created something very special. It would be so interesting to listen to it rather than only read it. Also, Megan has included a kind of prophecy in this story, and I would love to hear how a prophecy sounds like spoken.

Title: Adoris Integare
Author: megan_lupin
Category: General Fics
Warnings: Substance Abuse
Ratings: 3rd-5th years
Chaptered/One-Shot: Chaptered (3)
Summary: Nightmares created another sleepless night for Sirius Black, but who would have thought that the night would include the meeting of old friends, trying to decipher cryptic poems, and travelling to centuries in the past to supposedly complete an as-of-yet unknown task?
Link: Adoris Integare
Why This Fiction Should be Chosen: This is the sequel to Recolitus Optimus, and it is as interesting, gripping and mysterious as the first one. It has another prophecy as well.

[Ginny Weasley Potter]

Here's a really good fic that I'd like to recommend:

Name: Ginney Weasley Potter/Pooja
Title: Harry Potter and the Darkest Hour
Author: Stormy
Category: Dark/Angsty Fics
Warnings: None
Ratings: 3rd-5th Years
Chaptered/One-Shot: Chaptered (20)
Summary: Harry is entering his 6th year at Hogwarts. NEWT classes, Quidditch and a new DADA teacher all add up to a seemingly normal year. But what is Voldemort up to now? Where are his Death Eaters? Tortures and killings have started, but how much of it is all just a decoy in the great scheme of things? This time, Harry must leave the comfort of his friends and face his darkest fear.
Link: Harry Potter and the Darkest Hour
Why This Fiction Should be Chosen: This is a very old fic, mind, and it's pre-HBP. But it's still readable and wonderful. It's beautifully written and the plot is well built and perfect. The characterisation is pretty strond too, though Harry is slightly wobbly at places, but overall it's one of the best-written fics that I've read.

Name: Love_is_4ever/Samarie
Title: Take My Heart Away
Author: Hatusu
Category: Dark/Angsty Fics
Warnings: None
Ratings: 6th-7th Years
Chaptered/One-Shot: Chaptered (19)
Summary: Hermione goes back in time with one mission: to kill Tom Riddle before he ever comes to power. A difficult task, correct? An impossible one, she realizes, as a love between them grows stronger than anything she has ever known. Now Hermione has a choice to make. Will she condemn the Wizarding world to almost certain destruction, or will she take the life of the one boy she has ever loved?
Link: Take My Heart Away
Why This Fiction Should be Chosen: Maddy is an incredible writer, she plunges you into the story, with an extraordinary way with words. Her descriptions are superb and the plotline is incredible. I highly recommend this story to everybody. All the characters are true to themselves, and when you think that this story is pre-HBP, you see the genius that she is.

Chaptered/One-Shot: Chaptered (5)
Summary: Ever since the war ended, Theodore Nott has found little solace in anything, save for his Firewhiskey purchases. Due to happenings and circumstances, he runs into the most unlikely people and places, ones that may just be able to help him as he trundles along through life. This is a story of pain, loss, regret, bitterness. This is a story of joy, laughter, forgiveness, hope. It's a story of second glances, second considerations, second chances. And first chances too. Curriculum Vitae is Latin for: The course of one’s life.
Link: Curriculum Vitae
Why This Fiction Should be Chosen: There is only one word to sum up this fan fiction: masterpiece. There is no wonder it was chosen to win Best Overall Story in the Winter Challenge of '07. It deals with a character really touched in a beautiful way and tells a beautiful tale of bitterness and of learning to forgive those who have hurt you. And more importantly: how to forgive yourself. It would make a very touching addition to the Audiofiction archives.

Why This Fiction Should be Chosen: Honestly, I love this fic. It's one of the best that I've read in a long time. I personally know the author, she's a Claw, and when I started reading it, I didn't even know who she is. But Chante has managed to spin a web that's so complicated, but so intriguing. I think alot of people on this site love this fic and that it would be absolutely amazing if it was read aloud.

Chaptered/One-Shot: Chaptered (13)
Summary: Harry defeated Voldemort. Harry married Ginny. Harry and Ginny had five children. Harry disappeared. My name is Lily Potter, and this is the story of what happened when my father returned after six years missing to find my mother about to re-marry. This is the story of myself, my crazy family, and most of all, this is the story of my parents and the man who tried to come between them.
Link: Uncle Fred Calls Him Dick
Why This Fiction Should be Chosen: Well, first it's the title that draws you in. Then it's the mysterious summary - you're filled with questions that you want answered. Then you start reading... and you're sucked into a marvelous fic with cliffies, plot twists, romance, and the love of the Weasley family. Lily Potter, MagEd's OC, tells the story with good humor and the perfect amount of emotion. You can really relate to the story, and never want to stop reading it. The fic also has a wonderful Harry, which, surprisingly, not a lot of fics do. It's one of the most original Post-Hogwarts fics around, with a great ending that won't leave you disappointed.
