In chronological order:
Constellography
November 2002
The first story I ever posted. And I actually still rather like it. Imagine that. Well, except for the last line, anyway. My WiP file includes a few other shorts that take place in the same universe, so hopefully this story will be continued one day. For now, it's an angsty Ginny-centered one-shot set in Harry's seventh year. Warning: there's some het herein. Rated R for a bit of sex.
Icicle
December 2002
My first (and, thus far, last) attempt at a plot-driven fic. Personally my least favorite, but it's also the one I've gotten the most feedback on, so hey, whatever. Lily/Mrs. Lestrange, set at Hogwarts in the spring of 1977. Rated R for language and some implied sex.
Prelude
Written Summer 2002, posted February 2003
Once upon a time, when I was still feeling my way into the fandom, I set out to write the great Penelope/Cho epic. I still have over a hundred pages of it on my hard drive, and most of it makes me cringe—when I dare to open the files in the first place. I still have a soft spot in my heart for the girls, though, and once, in a fit of nostalgia, I posted the story's short, fluffy, dialogue-only prologue on my LJ. Here it is, in all its sappiness. Rated PG-13 for implied sex.
Peer Pressure
February 2003
Written for the First Time Bad Sex Challenge. I signed up for [Lavender/Parvati] because I thought they'd be easy to write. I so easily deceive myself. I did have fun with it, though. Rated NC-17 for painfully bad (and explicit) sex.
100-word drabbles
March 2003
The challenge, which started in the Smallville fandom and then was rapidly imitated, was as follows: Your favorite pairing has broken up. Get them back together in 100 words or less. Since I have no favorite pairing, I just picked a few at random. Fleur/Cho, PG / Draco/Pansy, R / Hermione/Ginny, PG / Ron/Padma, PG-13
===RPS===
Premiere
January 2003
So I was supposed to be writing a Bring It On ficlet, a nice Missy/Torrance story of some sort. And someday I will hopefully write that story. What happened this time, though, was a gradual evolution of Missy/Torrance into Eliza/Kirsten. So it's now Bring It On RPS. If you have a problem with Real People Slash, you'll want to stay away from this one. Rated R for sex.

===Harry Potter Fic Archives===
I'm not going to bother listing FA and RS and the like. Just the ones people are less likely to know about. If you're new to the HP fandom, there's a set of links here that should help you out.
Femme Spark. A femmeslash archive, with a very pretty design. It allows you to sort fics by rating, which is nice. Run by Tank Girl and Liberty Ford.
Intellislash. If you're looking for high-quality one-shot fics, this is the place to go. A collection of stories by some of the best authors in the fandom.
Into Raspberry Swirl. The first-ever (as far as I know) HP femmeslash archive. It's pretty comprehensive, and a great starting point for people who are newly interested in femmeslash. Also, it's pink. Run by Nest Freemark.
Pure Magnetism. A very pretty site housing many Harry/Draco fics, most of above-average quality.
===Other Harry Potter Sites===
Floo Me, Baby! One of the most useful sites out there. Amber compiles links to HP sites as she finds them, be they fic archives, character fansites, or personal fic sites, then reviews them and puts them into a searchable database. The HP fandom version of Google.
Harry Potter Lexicon. I spend quite a bit of time here, mostly when I'm in the process of writing fics and need a list of convicted Death Eaters, or spells with three-syllable incantations, or equally random bits of information. It has a few factual errors, granted, but for canon information, it's the best source outside of, well, canon.
Madam Hooch's Broom Closet. Yeah, okay, so I run this one. But if you can't do self-promotion on your own website, where can you do it? MHBC is an informational site for Harry Potter femmeslash, with fic recs, challenges, and my own rambling explanations about the geography of the f/f fandom.
===Beyond HP===
Bloomwood. A very nice Lord of the Rings Real People Slash (Lotrips) archive. Get it? Bloomwood? It has pretty pictures on the front page, too.
CordySlash. Fic archive for slash stories involving Cordelia Chase (of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fame). Features just about every Cordy pairing you could ever want.
Dymphna.net. Kate Bolin's domain, which houses many excellent sites, most of a fic-ish or fan-ish nature, many relating to Buffy in some way. Spend some time exploring, there's much to see here.
Fandom Wank. What? It's funny!
Fluent Fag. The slash archive for Bring It On (you know, that movie with Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku in cheerleading outfits). Speaks for itself, really.
If you have set yourself on fire, do not run. A parody of ready.gov that is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen on the Internet. There used to be hundreds of these, but alas, I think this is all that's left.
Once More, With Bitterness. An impromptu project of the TWoP Buffy boards in season 6. Fans rewrote the songs from Buffy's musical episode, substituting lyrics about their disenchantment with the direction the series was taking. A must-read for any BtVS fan.
Television Without Pity. For me, at least, a workday without TWoP is a day without sunshine. The 24 recaps are particularly good.
The Very Secret Diaries by Cassandra Claire. If you haven't read these, I can't imagine what you've been doing all this time, but get over there and read them right now. Just make sure not to imbibe any beverages while reading, lest you destroy your keyboard when you spit them out. FotR movie-related.
