You know what? I have just created a special Slashy: the Switchknife Award.

LOL! *g* Haha, yes, very funny. :D :D :D

You liked Helen's 'Close Enough'! *squees* And Kass's 'Clay'! OMG. All right. Interesting pairings, you said? I don't even consider those pairings odd! *g*

I don't know how you feel about femslash, but I've seen you rec it occasionally. So. Here's some of my favorite HP femslash featuring Hermione:

'Sundress (http://joyce.jteers.net/rhoddlet/sundress.html)' by Rhoddlet, Hermione/Ginny, Hermione/Ron
'Hate (http://girlsdormitory.slashcity.net/efiction/viewstory.php?sid=199)' by Paranoid Kitten, Dolores/Hermione, NC-17
'eyes big love crumbs (http://www.livejournal.com/users/isilya/132781.html)' by Isilya, Hermione/Hermione
'Curiouser and Curiouser (http://www.livejournal.com/users/blythely/37998.html)' by Blythely, Alice/Hermione (This is a crossover with Alice in Wonderland)

And favorite femslash stories not featuring Hermione:

Well, that's some femslash that should keep you busy for a while! It often worries me that we have such a shortage of femslash in the HP fandom, which is why I've done my best to promote it, and even set up a 'Femslash Challenge' on [livejournal.com profile] pornish_pixies. (Which yielded things like this (http://www.livejournal.com/community/pornish_pixies/95683.html). GUH.)

Hope you don't mind! If you'd prefer slash recs, I can always return with loads of bounty in that category, too. ;)

I'm very happy that you're willing to consider non-mainstream pairings. It annoys me that so much good work goes unnoticed simply because the authors want to explore more unusual pairings. But then again, maybe I'm biased, because unusual pairings are about all I write...

Let me know anytime you want recs catering to a specific situation and/or character. I'll be more than happy to help.
