Okay, I finally finished reading the rest of the triatha_ron fics. !!! I'm overly pleased with myself that I read all of them. Go, me! I've included my picks for which story I liked the best/made best use of the prompt/had the strongest Ron below:

Prompt: Time
my pick Eighteen Hours, Four Tasks, and A Kilt by abigail89 [Ron/Oliver, adult ~ TEAM SLASH]

Prompt: Summer
my pick Five Days in August by thetreacletart [Ron/Pansy, R ~ TEAM HET]

Prompt: Gold
my pick All three! Seriously. I could NOT pick on this prompt. I thought each of the three were well done, well written, and really showed a great Ron and a great use of the prompt. They were also each very different, and included humor, sadness, and a lot of great Ron:

Red and Gold by aome [Ron/Harry, R ~ TEAM SLASH]
All God's Creatures by mizbean [G ~ TEAM GEN]
Weasley Is the Centerfold by tqpannie [Ron/Tonks, nc17 ~ TEAM HET]

Prompt: Lies
my pick Little White Ones by jamimegan [Ron/Lavender, Ron/Hermione, pg13 ~ TEAM HET]

So, by my own picks, the three teams stand like this:

TEAM SLASH = 7
TEAM GEN = 6
TEAM HET = 4

Go Team Slash! *waves banner* This Wednesday is when the mods will announce the actual winning team, though, really... what a fantastic fest! There have been such amazing stories and I just LOVED it. w00t! *throws confetti for everyone*!!

In case you missed it, my own contribution is here: memoria incognita [Ron/Harry, pg13]

So, I am immensely proud of myself. I am all caught up on all of the triatha_ron fics that have been posted so far, so I can add more of my pics to my list:

Prompt: Friendship
my pick: Steady by arsenicjade [Ron/Viktor, Ron/Viktor/Draco, nc17 ~ TEAM SLASH]

Prompt: Loss
my pick: Of Blood and Dust and Potatoes by maple_mahogany [R ~ TEAM GEN]

Prompt: Food
my pick: Ill Met By Moonlight by wolfiekins [R ~ TEAM GEN]

I don't know how to offer picks for the prompt I was involved in. But, as it's my journal, I'll vote for me! (Plus, I'm quite proud of the story)
Prompt: Question
my story: memoria incognita by meee!! [Harry/Ron, R ~ TEAM SLASH]

I'm about two prompts behind on my reading, but I wanted to post a few more triatha_ron pics:

Prompt: Red
my pick: Strife from the Furthest Prime by thrihyrne [Bill/Ron, Ron/Harry, nc17 ~ TEAM SLASH]

Prompt: Comfort
my pick: A Routine Comfort by mamalaz [hard R ~ TEAM SLASH]

Prompt: Pride
my pick: The Festivities by aberforths_rug [pg ~ TEAM GEN]

Prompt: Fire
my pick: Gold and Silver by simons_flower [Ron/Daphne, pg13 ~ TEAM HET] *this was a harder choice. I was waffling between team Het and team Slash for a long time -- and as much as I love Ron/Draco, I really just loved Ron's banter in the story for team Het


★ Real Life-wise, I'm still sort of in a weird place. A couple of pretty rough things happened at work this week, so I'm just holding back and finding beauty and strength in little things as best I can. Hope you all are well. ♥

I've really been enjoying the triatha_ron since they started posting on March first. The idea of 45 Ron-centric fics in fifteen days is just really, really awesome!! So far, I've read all of the fics posted through Saturday (three more were posted today that I've not yet been able to read) and thought I'd try to think about each of the three fics written for each prompt and link the one I enjoyed the most here in case any of you aren't going to be as insane focused and read every single fic. So... what follows are the fics that I enjoyed most from each of the prompts I've read so far. Please read if you get the chance and give the authors some feedback!


Prompt: Memory
my pick: A Drop of Red by approximedic [pg ~ TEAM GEN]

Prompt: Family
my pick: All in the Family by kerryblaze [Ron/Neville, R ~ TEAM SLASH]

Prompt: Joy
my pick: Truck-Driving with the Dead by kennahijja [pg13 ~ TEAM GEN]

Honestly, though, if you have only time for one, read Truck Driving with the Dead. It was an intriguing twist on the prompt, was beautifully crafted, and overall quite outstanding. Of the nine I've read, it's my favorite story in the fest so far.

My own story has not yet been posted, but I'll link here as soon as it's up. :)

Go, team slash! *waves banner*
