I'm restarting my new/favourite #HarryPotter #Fanfic thread here, since #BirdSite is well, that... Let's start with this incredible thing, which is keeping me so engrossed that I cannot put it down, other than to type this. I will add to the thread with subsequent reads, and perhaps some old favourites.

@jamminjerry I'm reading this one you told me about now and it's just as good as the one I recommended early. I don't know about you, but after reading Fanfic for 20 years, I'm always genuinely over the moon when I read something new that actually keeps my attention. I love that.

oh I am sure some of the ones I will show that I read might make you say yuck, but I am glad I could showyou one that keeps your attention. I always do take a look at the ones you suggest, and when I want something new to look at, I either look at your folder, or katies.

@jamminjerry My preference is no m/m slash, though fem is fine, no mpreg, no Harry/Ginny because, yuck! Otherwise I@m good. Oh and Cho is just out. She's duller than dishwater.

@jamminjerry That is male pregnancy. Some authors seem to try to find a way to make that work... The *only* exception to this is Nonjon's 'Where in the World is Harry Potter' Series which is when either Fred or George I forget, gives birth to puppies... Yeah, you'd have to read it to understand lol

I am going to be reading this one. it sort of sounds like one I have read most of called Harry Potter and the Game of Life by Abadashery. summary: Harry's plan to let Voldemort kill him has backfired as there was no Horcrux in his head. Instead Fate is one grumpy deity and decides that if Harry wants to play games well then she'll give him a game to play. A fresh attempt on the Life is a Game genre! Powerful!Harry. Fling!Harry Work in Progress! Rewrite of Chapters 21 and 22 in progress. Stay tuned!
sadly it looks like it has been abanded as there hasn't been an update sense 12/16/2020.

@devinprater @BrailleScreen Okay here's a question. What's the worst hp fanfiction you've ever read and why.

@devinprater @BrailleScreen I read this one where harry was blind and his magic was a physical manifestation. I don't know why it gave me this bad taste in my mouth but something about that whole story irritated me. The way it was written made me feel like someone was talking down to me and the primary focus was on how Harry was going to make it around hogwarts and how his magic would help him and comfort him. Every chapter there was always a problem. It might have been a small problem, but it was always written into a dramatic thing that would usually take an entire chapter to solve.

did you ever read Harry Potter and the Guild of the Night Series? in my opinion that is a good one. here is the summary of the first one, just in case you haven't read that one before.
Summary: Harry suffers a terrible injury at the Dursleys that leaves his ability to face Voldemort in doubt. But with the help of
Remus Lupin and a mysterious new teacher he has a chance to become more than he was before. Features a grudgingly neutral Snape and
a Ginny who knows what she wants or rather who she wants.

@BrailleScreen @MariahL @devinprater Kaleidoscopic Grangers at least isn't like that, it's got a blind trans Harry with a magic sense but the author talked to actual blind people to learn the ins and outs of things like Braille and ensure the representation wasn't ableist just realistic. Hogwarts has a fucking lot of stairs, you know. And being blind isn't the focus it's just an occasional obstacle like anything else.

@x0 @BrailleScreen @MariahL @devinprater I found the focus on stairs really puzzling. I mean, sure, they can be annoying sometimes, especially if they don't follow modern architectural conventions, but I find them much less of an issue than they are in this fanfic. There are a lot of other actual problems that aren't mentioned at all or just barely, like their food system where you basically have to find and take whatever you want.

@miki @BrailleScreen @MariahL @devinprater She was never actually taught as O&M how to navigate stairs, even with the cane I think. Also, they move!

@x0 @BrailleScreen @MariahL @devinprater Strangely enough, I never really use my cane to navigate stairs (except finding them of course). I can usually figure them out by what the railing is doing.

@miki @BrailleScreen @MariahL @devinprater It's apparently that they aren't particularly even, so simply knowing there's a stair and moving your foot doesn't work. Hell even canon talked about this, remember there's a trick stair that's actually just a plain gap that Harry fell into at night?

@x0 I think uneven stairs and trick stairs were just a thing historically. I've read in a book somewhere that there were defence implications, castle residents would know that a stair was uneven but enemies would trip up. Not sure how true this is, definitely might just be a myth / something the book author invented.

@miki Most of the time when we think of stairs, we think of them as being uniform. On different staircases, some are narrower, wider, steeper than others, but they're all roughly the same size and shape. By the descriptors, that's not the case here. Possibly just ware and tear from a thousand year old stone building that's had waves of students constantly going up and down them? Or actually bad architecture. Unsure, but that's why she sweeps instead of simply finding the edge like you're supposed to.
