Do you think they’re actively tracking the amount of money? Patreon has become very popular for early access, as well as Ko-Fi with goals before posting content. Maybe Team HP acknowledges that fanfic keeps the Fandom alive, but draws the line at printed books?

I can’t recall what drama happened with Manacled.

Recommendation: I’m Sippin Tea in yo Hood (lemmy.world)
 

This is SO GOOD and hilarious. Harry, Tom, Albus, Grindelwald, and the marauders are trapped in a Fae realm. They’ve time travelled from when they’re each in the 16-18 range. So in their respective universes - Harry has defeated LV, Tom has 1 Horcrux, Ariana is still alive, and the marauders are 5th years. Or maybe 6th.

Anyway it’s amazing and laugh out loud funny and you should read it. Cracked treated seriously.

Recommendation: Past Zero Hour (lemmy.world)
 

This is a really fun adventure story! The tales of Regulus the BAMF cursebreaker. Reg is a (legally dead) Gringotts cursebreak and works out tricky puzzles. Also later becomes a nanny for baby Harry. Exciting and generally wholesome story. A little bit of pining in the Sev/Reg relationship, but they figure it out. Updates regularly!

I’m down. Should we pick something short for the first week?

Discussion: How to grow this forum? (lemmy.world)
 

I’ve been trying to move entirely away from Reddit’s hpfanfiction, but user growth here is slow. Anyone have ideas? Do we need more posts of recs? Links on author Discords or popular Ao3 fics?

Anyone else working on promotion?

REQUEST: Fics like Too Old to be this young (lemmy.world)
 

Link in case you haven’t read it. http://archiveofourown.org/works/33170455

He was smiling. At Tom Riddle. He was going to get murdered before the year ends, he just knows.

Alternate universe/Post-Hogwarts. warnings: mature themes, drinking, swearing. An adult Harry Potter with all his knowledge and experience is transported to his 23yo body in a universe with no war.

This fic is 10x hilarious. Harry is an underemployed government drone studying for his Masters. Well written, hilarious, totally novel story. BAMF Harry.

Any recs for something similar?

What’s that fic: Snape time travel (lemmy.world)
 

Snape dies & wakes up in his own body (maybe 5th year?) and decides to do everything better - he sets up a potions lab in his backyard, makes friends with his mom, rescues a muggle kid from some faeries and keeps some extra faeries in a cage. I think some birds follow him. AO3, incomplete. I think updated within the last 6 months. Anyone know the name?

In the Bleak Midwinter Recommendation - BAMF Hermione Time Travel to 1920s (lemmy.world)
 

I’m loving this fic! Hermione in the 1920s. She goes back to meet Tom as a baby and raise him. The fic features a muggle pretending to be a wizard (successfully!), a struggle for werewolf rights, action, and romance. I binged the whole thing in one night.

Also posting a rec to try out this app - anyone using this?
