Here is the scenario
Instead of the Deatheaters running around with their heads cut off after Voldemort's first defeat Bellatrix assumes control and makes herself the Dark Lady.

Since she is less powerful than Dumbledore they either change their tactics or something happens to Dumbledore to reduce his effectiveness in combat.

This means she never went to Azkaban so she can be as crazy or sane as you want.

I want a noticeable change in the Wizarding World by the time Harry gets to Hogwarts. And don't have Harry's adventures copies of Canon your changes need to be more than superficial.

Don't make it slash.

Over time more stuff may be added.

 

The challenge really is not about Harry so you can have Harry show up when he is 80 to replace Filch for all I care. In fact I would hope that people will experiment with that sort of thing. Basically If I don't specifically name something then you have the green. However, I would like a link if someone does it because I seem to have hit a dry spell. I can't seem to find any good fics lately and the ones I have before are not updating. I seem to be subsisting on Harry Potter and the Stargate and I would much rather have a more Potter verse story to read.

 

Oh, I really like this challenge. Right after I read it I right away started writing it. Thanks!

 

Haha. I'm having a bit of a trouble trying to keep it all canon, taking into account all the things that passed and wouldn't happen if she became the Dark Lady. Also, trying to flesh out her past. Trying work.

 

That is all right. generally speaking the longer it takes the better it will be.

 

Yes, although I am a horrific procrastinator. Maybe that means everything I do is perfect?

 

no that just means you take a long time

 

Haha. Believe me, I know that. Above was sarcasm. Nothing I do is perfect, not even close.

 

I procrastinate not just hours, but days. And then the final procrastination: "Ah, forget that. I procrastinated too much."

Ehm. That's why I never get a lot of things done.

 

I'm getting that way too. When I first started writing, I updated weekly. No exceptions. Now I'm getting progressively lazier about it.

 

LMAO, pathetic reviewers. I thrive too much on reviews.

 

I was thinking about doing that too, and updating every week so I could coax as many reviews as I could.

Because as of now, I have never finished one of my fics.

 

Eck, I usually desperately ignore those reviews. It's hard to get real constructive criticism.

 

ive atually only got about 4 negative reviews for my perverse destivle.. including eing called a deranged retard.. FUN!.. but i tend to ignore those...

what i HAVE trouble ignoring is, however, when the pathetic reviewers take it upon them selves to IM me and HELP me by giving me advice i dont need and get pissy when i politely thank them but dont need help...happened yesterday... the idiot said some REALLY idiiotic stuff that prevented me from even typign stright at one point... and had the balls to tell me to grow up and that i was talking down to him when i bluntly told him hey hanks for the help but im not interested, i work at my own pace... fuckign idiots
