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.

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.

in reply to Andre Louis • • •So I've got this amazing little kid in my life at the moment. And she's really into Harry Potter. I think I've watched one of them. But with her excitement and gross deep dive into it. She's making me want to give it a go.
I just might.
Hope you're well Brotha Louis. Our collab, is upon us. Stay tuned.

in reply to Sean Randall • • •It could be said that I'm too picky, but this really rubbed me up the wrong way in the first chapter:
"Sirius was expelled two days later.
His wand was ceremonially snapped, ...
At least he had his O.W.L.s. He was still a qualified wizard, still able to purchase a new wand to replace the one that had been confiscated."
WTF? I don't mind the departure from canon, but it screams "I had an idea, what would be the quickest, most convenient way to gloss over its biggest pitfall?", and entirely negates the magnitude of the wand being snapped in the first place. If he had killed Snape, who would they have given the pointless bits of wood to? @FreakyFwoof
Sean Randall
in reply to James Scholes • • •ceremonially snapped. Like making a gun never fire again, it's the idea of that particular thing not doing magic, not the person. There's a lot of liberties in the fic as a whole. As a Harry story its not. As a potterverse, it's niche. But as a war story, perhaps even as an example of the Agent Provocateur genre, it's excellent.

If you're totally anti-adult themes, then the sex is far less of an issue than the psychological impacts of war etc.

in reply to Andre Louis • • •@SeveraSnape oh absolutely down with people's preferences.
Just seems odd to separate based on slash as a determinative characteristic. Be like hiding away authors who write trans. I wouldn't choose to read it, but not having it in your general list of authors seems counterproductive.
Your archive, of course, so not for me to judge!

in reply to Sean Randall • • •Katy T
in reply to Sean Randall • • •James Scholes
in reply to Katy T • • •@SeveraSnape There's a huge difference between not wanting to read sexually explicit smut with relationships that don't do it for you, and not wanting to read a work of fiction where sex isn't the main focus because some people in it are gay. If someone is "squicked out" by the latter, they're homophobic.
As Sean said, how people run their fanfic archives is their business, and I'm not directly accusing anyone in this thread specifically. But the community seems to have a thinly veiled discrimination problem, and it stinks.

in reply to Andre Louis • • •So many of my days going to job interviews were spent sat on a bus, or waiting for my time or other candidates.
and so much of my guide dog training was about going places hours away that the need to read was pressing.
Carting a laptop about would have been possible, but difficult.
I found Rockbox so I could have accessible access to more than one book at a time, only need to charge after a good handful of books, and keep my phone's battery for GPS, camera or other more outdoorable uses than reading.
it's a couple of inches through the belt loop of my jeans, clipped onto the pocket of my dressing gown or whatever and is always to hand for me.
