    I've read that one before, but it's been a while. I remember liking it - I'm a sucker for Malfoy family drama, and the whole backstory was pretty good. Draco is very OOC, but it makes sense given his entirely different upbringing. I liked Narcissa and Dumbledore's characterisations.

    half awake and almost there Another story by Annerb (the author of The Changeling, among others). This one's a bit.. different. Different as in it's a Coffee House AU romance with no magic at all. The writing is top-notch and the characterisations are good (though I found chapter 1 a bit rocky), just like everything else the author's written. It isn't the author's best work by any means (she kinda admits she wrote it mostly as a guilty pleasure), but I found it an enjoyable hour's read....

    Has there really been nothing rec'd here in over a month and a half? Anyway, here's a bunch of Ron centric stories. Rise of the Weasley Famiglia: Ron never wanted to be a crime boss. Pity he was so good at it. Even if he did spend most of his time worrying about what would happen when his mother found out. Only one chapter till now, but even if it never updates again it stands on its own as a oneshot. Good stuff. There and Back Again: Ron was able to save Fred's life during the...

    Of Bare Feet and Blibbering Humdingers Non-epilogue compliant. Four years after the war ends, Ron quits the aurors and moves back in with his parents. Luna has returned from her world travels, older, wiser and now her owl has low self-esteem. Oh, and Harry finds the whole thing hilarious. A Ron/Luna fic because it's weirdly perfect. Sort of decent-ish Ron/Luna romance. The writing and characterizations are far from amazing, but I've been looking for a multi-chapter Ron/Luna fic for quite...

    Is anyone else following The Amplitude, Frequency and Resistance of the Soul Bond? It updated yesterday. It is kinda terrible (the latest update had at least a dozen grammar errors), but at the same time it makes me laugh out loud at least twice every chapter. I've never been quite sure what to make of this fic.

    That's because the paper in OoTP was written by Dumbledore, who was the secret keeper. And if Dumbledore trusted Dung enough to give him Harry protection duty, he would probably trust him to memorize a piece of paper and burn it as well.

Instead, it not only kept going but steadily escalated into a full-scale wizarding world war as two people who were thought to be dead pit their armies against each other. Now Hermione is desperately trying to find a way to save the wizarding world from itself… and from that which lies among the dark corners of the Earth. A Hermione/Bellatrix story.

    This falls somewhere between LOL/5 and 2/5. None of the story makes much sense at all, and if the author intended to create a believable story about Neville going around the bend then he failed miserably. On the other hand, you might get some mild amusement out of Neville going around Hogwarts and spamming unforgivable for shits and giggles. Here's a Ron-centric oneshot I found quite amusing. I would recommend it for the library, but I've learned that my sense of humor is quite unusual,...

    Way to over-analyze it. Can't I enjoy a story in which Hermione Granger's "reforms" backfire without you spouting political drivel? The reforms may not be the realistic thing ever, but in the world of Harry Potter Fanfiction, it has enough plausibility for it to work in a story.

    It's in the Almost Recommended section : here. General consensus is that it's bland and unremarkable. Here, have a oneshot: Mudbloods : Harry Potter might have been the one to defeat Voldemort, but it was Hermione Granger who spent decades working on eradicating the pureblood supremacy. Twenty years after Voldemort's defeat, the magical Britain is finally entering an age free of blood prejudice. Fun oneshot, and only 1.5k words. Not a Hermione glorification fic.

    The Carnivorous Muffin has started two new stories. The Unwinding Golden Thread is a time travel story with Harry ending up in Tom Riddle's fifth year. It's well written, but I don't like Tom Riddle's characterization. It's marked as a tragedy though, so it could end up being interesting. The Castle Where Eternity Dwells is a self-insert in which the SI (who has very limited knowledge of the Harry Potter series) is born as Tom Riddle's twin sister.

    Well, you could, y'know, read the first chapter and find out whether the story is to your liking or not. But the main draw of the story is what I mentioned -- creating a believable scenario where Harry and Ginny actually go down a darker path than canon. So many stories have Harry deciding to go evil almost overnight to the point where it seems like a personality transplant -- this one makes you believe the only way Harry would survive is if he said 'Fuck it all' and started giving no fucks...

    Down the Rabbit Hole by Accusatrix is a pretty good story with a very interesting premise, which you should read to find out. It really sets up the idea of Dark!Harry and Dark!Ginny quite nicely. I was really frustrated when I ran out of chapters to read, so the story did something right. It seems sadly abandoned, but what is there is quite good.

    A series of one-shots just to find some sort of rhyme or reason to the abomination that is 'Albus Severus Potter'? I approve. Though I doubt anything will touch Opalish's explanation in The Wendell that Wasn't. I genuinely wonder if JKR was drunk when she decided the Potter Kids' names. I mean, no one in their right mind would think Albus Severus a good name for their character/kid. No one.

Its decently written, even if it is nothing new and has the usual stuff of being rescued from the Dursleys, Diagon Alley, the train etc. The story is authored by a couple of real life twins - so they do know what they're doing on that front. Again, if you've read a lot of fanfiction, you won't find anything new in this story - but if you're bored and have nothing better to do, you can give it a read. It does have the novelty of being a twin story written by...

    I suspected the plot almost as soon as it revealed that Astoria was the heterochromic one. Hardly a twist when it could be seen coming a mile away. Also, Harry stutters way too much. He stutters almost every time he talks in the first half of the fic. While modest, he never lacked confidence in canon, certainly not when he was in his sixth year. The stuttering is really fucking annoying. As for the story, its decent, but hardly anything special. 3/5

    Just gave this a read. It is well written, but there are some glaring faults, mostly Voldemort seems way too not-crazy and is not characterized well in general. Also, Harry managing to change Draco's lifelong beliefs in five minutes almost made me drop the story. There are better stories with a similar premise (Tom raising Harry) and far better Voldemort characterization: 1.Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Harry raised by Diary!Tom) 2.The Counterfeit Cousin (Same premise as above)...

I don't think I've wanted anyone to die so badly since canon Umbridge. Also, what do you mean by running out of people to root for? If anything, Harry is too principled- much more than should be possible in that fucked up world. All of Harry's friends and the...

    @ hid6qoh : Harry's characterization is bad. I mean, he is Harry Potter. He should have some sort of presence. Instead, Harry has a distinct lack of confidence and stammers like an errant schoolboy. Harry did not stammer anywhere near as much in canon- he stood up to the minister in HBP, yet the Daily Prophet editor walks all over him in this story. You seem to forget that Harry is more than forty years old and the Head Auror to boot. He has remained in the public eye for years now as the...

    This is from the author who wrote Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? and Lily and the Art Of being Sisyphus.

He stops World War II and Grindelwald's rise to power, in the process making himself out to be the Emperor of Ubik, a supposedly wealthy nation far, far away. There is no slash in the story yet,...

    Fleur is a condescending bitch towards every major female character in canon, so they all hate her in turn.

    I'm pretty sure he believes Ron betrayed him instead. They were supposed to be friends but Harry committed the 'unforgivable sin' of being sorted into Slytherin, so Ron hates him now and Harry feels betrayed. Given what we know of canon Ron, this is exactly what would have happened had canon Harry been sorted to Slytherin. I fail to see why this would make anyone stop reading.
