    Boogeyman, in the vein of Insurgere. Not sure if it's library worthy but it's at least mildly interesting.

    I would consider it library worthy but unlike most people I like oneshots.

    He posted a fic with Hufflepuff!Riddle. No idea why he edited it, though.

    I edited it because I was thirty hours past my bedtime, and I saw insurgere mentioned at the top of the page and went, "Whoops, someone has already recommended this story within the past three days!"

    And then I went to bed.

    Harry Potter and the Untitled Tome
    By: Ihateseatbelts
    Little Harry Potter's always been able to do things others couldn't. Now that he's being sent to a school with kids just like him, he can finally let his imagination run wild. But when he learns the truth of his parents' legacy, Harry realizes that he has some giant shoes to fill. Very AU First -Year fic.
    Rated: Fiction T - English - Fantasy/Supernatural - Harry P., Albus D. - Chapters: 2 - Words: 11,698 - Reviews: 5 - Favs: 15 - Follows: 15 - Updated: 11h ago - Published: Mar 23 - id: 10210053

    This is a far too early suggestion after only 2 chapters but the quality of the writing deserves attention.

    It's alright, beyond the whole power level over 9000 crap. You are right that the writing is better than most, and it is still too early to recommend, not that I would at the way it's going. Have to wait and see how far the author is willing to take this super-powered angle, atm it is toned down, but it definitely is there, and considering it is only 2 chapters in that is not a good thing.

    They are deviating from canon majorly so they get some bonus points for that. No mention about Voldemort at this point, Grindleward is the one who killed the Potters. It also looks like they reclaim muggleborns into pureblood families. So nothing original with any of this, but if the author can pull it off kudos to them.

    It also looks like whoever the author is, this is a second account created only 3 days ago on FFN. They are also a DLP lurker at the least looking at their favorites list. So, anyone wanna put their hand up? Samkar, maybe?

    I love the way he writes the summary of the 2nd chapter. Very Top Gear.

    Not me. I don't have the necessary writing skill to produce this.

    Er... hello there. As you can probably tell from my username, I'm the author of the Untitled Tome. (As a side note, I know this looks a little suspect as it's my first post disregarding the spambot thing, but I am a pretty serial lurker... searched for another intro thread and couldn't find one, probably my own fault though...)

    In any case, having the fic even being mentioned here, especially this early, was very unexpected. I was informed about this in a review, so err... here I am, with an account and all that. Now would be a better time than any to leave my shell.

    To address Harry's magical aptitude without explaining too much, the nature of magic itself in this universe will be covered in greater depth come Chapter Three, and when they actually get to Hogwarts, of course.

    Should anyone be inclined to follow this story, the results of the Augo Profile, as well as what makes a wizard 'powerful' or 'talented' will be addressed very soon.

    Once again, I genuinely apologise if I'm speaking out of turn by posting here before anywhere else, though I honestly did look first. Many thanks. :)

    AU; No Magic. Tom Riddle: A mob boss. Draco Malfoy: A vengeful prick. Harry Potter: Stuck as a cleaning boy for Tom's office as a way to make up for something Draco claimed he did. Bottom Line: Damn all rich people to hell.

    Quite interesting. Updates regularly. Lots of reviews for the short amount of time it's been out.

    Warnings include non-Slash (Hetero), Abuse, AU, anything else [the author doesn't] consider worth warning you over…

    Non-magic? For real? Got anything else to say about it other than, "quite interesting?"
