By "classic literature," I mean in the sense of books that have an enduring impact to culture and the understanding of the human condition and whose message stands the test of time. This may not be a perfect definition, but it should serve as a rough starting point for the sort of group of books that tend to be considered "classic literature." Ostensively speaking by way of example then, I include works that should be uncontroversial in that kind of list like the Iliad or the Divine...

Hello! I would like some recommendations of fanfics where Harry Potter does not have any romantic/sexual partners whatsoever. I would prefer those that are plot-driven. I would prefer if they are completed too, though if it's really good, I'm fine with those in progress. No gender bender also. Thank you!

It takes elements from Superman, Kim Possible and Winx Club but it's all contained in the Harry Potter universe. I mainly would like a second eye with the plotlines and the worldbuilding to make sure all the threads connect properly. Any takers?

So I recently finished up seeing the entire (modern) Doctor Who show, and I was wondering if there are any good fics involving an HP/Doctor Who crossover. I would be more than happy to hear all recommendations, although please keep in mind I haven't seen the original show.

Always on the lookout for good slash fics - would prefer Tomarrymort fics, but Drarry and Wolfstar are always a fun read. Harry/Zacharias Smith is another good pairing if anyone knows any good fics with them? Ta my lovelies!

Do you guys believe in using the pairing function to tag your characters as a couple for stories on fanfiction.net? I personally don't as I find the practice to take away from the plot and intrigue of the story. If I want people to read my story I don't want it to be simply because Harry is with [insert desired female]. Moreover, by just telling everyone who Harry will end up with completely destroys any doubts that they might not be compatible! I have taken the approach of actually only...

What it says on the title. Dumbledore in middle earth is something I have been interested in recently. Probably because of shadow over angmar. I have just been rereading old stories and would like something I have not read before.

Hello ! I've never found a good fanfic that wasn't abandoned, so if you find one please tell me. It needs to be well-written and with few grammatical mistakes.

...or Tomb raider I was hoping there are fics out there where Harry becomes the curse breaker like Bill, under employment of Gringots. Or becomes a Tomb raider I already know about Black's Comedy and visited the 2010 thread about same idea. Hopefully someone knows almost recommended fics or better. Greatly appreciated if someone knows of such fic Nice to have: Harry has to be a grown adult

**Yes I realize that there is a library section for this, but my request is a bit more narrow. By AU I mean stories like Prince of The Dark Kingdom, The Skitterleap, or The FireBird Trilogy. So basically what I mean is no Time Travel, Harry is born within this world naturally. Oh and please don't post stories that are so similar to canon with just a few different aspects, im looking for a completely new world. Note: Things like Harry Potter and The Boy Who Lived are viable because they...

As the title says, im looking for stories that include Harry not being the BWL. By this i don't mean ANY story in which its him secretly being the BWL, but everyone thinks someone else is. Oh and no slash :fire

The recent thread on magical cores reminded me of something tangentially related that I wanted to run by the DLP community. I've read a few HP Video Game fics recently (Forgive me, for I have sinned!) and I got to thinking about the stats involved. An idea struck me that I've become somewhat attached to, that magic would be a combination of three mental stats: INT: Intelligence is often used to describe knowledge or capacity for knowledge, which means it'd apply to the ability to learn...

Let me explain. This story was added to the FFnet DLPC2 only because I asked for it to be. I kinda feel like I cheated because the story was never officially put up for review. So, here it is. From what I understand, it must receive a <4 rating with at least ten votes to be in the C2. If it doesn't, I'll ask enembee to remove it because the C2 is DLP's business card and it should have the best of the best.

So yeah, like the title says, I'm looking for either HP/Warcraft or Naruto/Warcraft crossover fics. All three mixed up are fine as well. My only requirements are that 1) Harry or Naruto be central characters. 2) Fics should take into consideration as much of canon as possible. So for example a Naruto/Warcraft crossover from 2007 would be slightly boring to read. The stories don't have to be good either. Just looking for readable reccs. This fic kinda made me want to read some of that...

So, basically, I've got way too many goddamn ideas for Quests. I know I started off with the the ASOIAF (OF Snow and Stars) one, and it's still really tempting, but there are others that also tempt me. And I'll be honest, the ASOIAF books are fighting me like a mother fucker. I've barely gotten 50 pages into book 2. So, I'm putting up a poll, for which Quest I should start off with. Note: Even if the ASOIAF one doesn't win, I will get to it eventually, once I'm more expereinced and can...

Or at least the UK ones. I don't mind them actually, they're not the best but then some of the old covers were pretty shitty looking.

Half Blood Prince Badly done Harry/Ginny. Ginny becoming "the new Cho Chang," that being the popular girl, Quidditch ace, most desired female at Hogwarts, and the one Harry pines over like a lovesick puppy. Dumbledore being disarmed by Malfoy, killed by Snape. Malfoy outwitting Dumbledore with the Vanishing Cabinets. Ron/Hermione/Lavender love triangle was just horrid. Slughorn. He was a totally irritating character that the book would have been better off without. All of his "parties"...

Lately, I've begun to want to expand on my writing style. As it stands, I'm more of an anime writer. So, I was hoping some of the more experienced writers/readers on this site could give me a few pointers on how I should go about writing proper Harry Potter Fanfiction. Over the past few hours, I've started to build up my very own and hopefully somewhat non-cliche'd Hp plot. Generally, it's a bit of Harry going in the opposite direction of Jk's Harry. Abused children very rarely if ever...

This is what I can remember about the story: –I think it was complete but I'm not 100% sure. –It had Harry going back in time, possibly when Voldemort attacked Godrics Hollow but it could have been accidental magic from at the Dursleys (wishing to be taken somewhere safe?). He goes back to his dads parents time (during the Grindelwald war), appearing in front of their mantle place. –The elder Potters do a test to find out who he is. The spell reveals he is related to Grindelwald through...

Hello DLP. Is there any readable story in the HP fandom where Harry finishes his education after DH, travels around the world learning different 'magicks' and returns to Britain as a 'super wizard' at the age of like 30 or 35 instead of settling for mediocrity. Note: If Ginny is dead in that story, if one exists, cheers to the author.

Have you heard about that tour of the Harry Potter Film studios in London that started recently? Well, some relatives of mine got me and my siblings tickets to it. The first thing you see when arriving are two massive yellow warehouses (named, appropriately, Studios J & K), plastered with what look like scenes from each of the movies. At the door, you get a Harry Potter 'passport', which is really just a blue book with areas for stamping at of the main attractions. Once inside, there is a...

I'm looking for a "Court Drama" type story in Harry Potter fanfiction. Does it exist? I'm not asking for Noir or detective stories with court elements in them, or Azkaban!Harry in which he has to be at court, but rather stories which revolve around a court case, in which a HP character is involved. Attorney!Harry, anyone?
