Well, I am just talkative tonight I guess, but I have a question for all the
fanfic experts here:
I have noticed a small but growing number of fanfics that take place during
the times of the books and show what might have been happening "offstage". Is
there a term for these kind of fics?
As an R/H shipper (but mostly as someone who just likes both Ron and Hermione
better than Harry), I really enjoy these, because they often feature Ron
and/or Hermione, and because I also like to speculate about what's going on
offstage. When I started writing this, I was all ready to reel off a list of
some that I had read, but of course now I am blanking! I guess "The Other
Kiss" counts, even though it's technically right after GoF, and the only other
one that comes to mind right away is "Masquerade", which despite being H/H is
very good. (; Can anyone recommend any other good fanfics that fall into this
category? (Or give me a name for them?)

P.S. OK, one more thing and then I'll shut up. I had forgotten how many
favorite lines I had from the first book. Today I came across a random
favorite: George on Weasley sweaters: "Come on, get it on, they're lovely
and warm." Actually I guess it's not all that funny, maybe it's just Jim
Dale's reading of that line that cracks me up. He completely captures George
Weasley in that line.
