Well, I have started to compile a list (that keeps on growing and growing) of my favorite Harry Potter Fanfiction that I've read out there. I haven't gotten to all of them yet but I look around for more everyday. I suppose you could say I'm obsessed with it and it's hooked me in like a, fish is hooked to a line with a big, fat, juicy worm at the end. -scrunches up face- Anyway, as of now, I have a total of 62 fics and counting in alphabetical order and I'm currently reading another fic right now to see if I should add it in or not.
The reason why is because, well, I'd like to have an online record of my favorite fics just in case my computer crashes one day and I lose everything - and trust me, it may and probably will happen. Also, I can't do this on any other website hosting thing because my computer seems to have a problem with loading text into those things because I've tried, multiple times. Instead, I'll just do that on here since my computer seems to like Blogger so much! (I already have my own online journal on here.) This way, I can ensure that my fics are always at hand and I can also share some of my favorite fics (as well as sites to even more, if you don't like my tastes) to everyone else!
I am a pretty open-minded person but when it comes to fanfics, I'm a little more narrow-minded. Some of my favorite types of HP fanfiction features and includes...
- Slash (gay, male-on-male, etc.), my favorite pairing being DM/HP
- Severitus/Sevitus (where Snape is Harry's adopted/biological dad)
- Abused!Harry
- Independent!Harry
- Dark!Harry, Slytherin!Harry
- GoesToADifferentSchool!Harry
- Creature Fics (where a character is a veela, vampires, etc.)
- Manipulative!Dumbledore, Dumbledore Bashing
- AU fics (Alternate Universe)
- Crossover fics (LotR, PotC...)
That being said (or listed, whichever you prefer), it doesn't mean I won't like anything else and I'm willing to try new things. Even so, the romance part of the fics is something I'm rather picky about. If the pairing isn't slash, then I'd either rather they have no pairing at all - or if there is, have it either be with a Slytherin!girl or at least it's in the background or the girl isn't incredibly... girly. Ugh. -ahem- Anyway, just don't have any HP/GW because I'm completely against that pairing, though I have no qualms against HG/RW.
Expect those items bulleted above to be predominant in my fic recs and I am incredibly sorry if you happen to dislike them. I'm planning on posting what I have right now in two go's (one post for the completed fics and the other for the WIPs) and I'll add the rest as I find them in single posts. Essentially, though, I may change my mind if the posts get really long but I doubt it'll happen (the changing my mind part) since it'll be neater this way, instead of already having 62 posts at the start.
Remember, I'm always welcome to any feedback so feel free to either e-mail me or just comment my posts, whether if it's to recommend a fic to me or just to say hi or to tell me how much you liked/hated the fic! Oh yes, and for those of you sucked into the profile-type sites as I was (peer pressure, I say!)... I also have a Facebook and a MySpace.
I'll see you all around!
