I would like to find stories which do contain the following story element: Harry Potter uses his fame to get laid as often as he can. NO rape (cause I find that repugnant), though, just Harry using his fame instead of trying to run away from it.

 

Vlad's story... Uhm. Bromance, something. I'm sure someone will give you the full title.

 

Whatever Happened To Bromance
a.k.a greatest Harry Potter fic of ALL TIME.

 

Pretty sure if you head over to hpfanfictionarchive.com you'll find plenty of fics like that. That site is pretty much the smutty version of FF.net without any m/m slash.

 

I think this one might fit your request:

Thanks, I'd have a look (although it'd be not sooo easy to find exactly that story line, or is there a "Harry uses his fame to get laid"-tag?).

 

At the risk of blowing my own trumpet, you might like 'Harry Potter: Hero of the Wizarding World?'. Co-authored with a friend of mine; not finished, and trying to organise both our lives to get it finished is tricky...but yeah.

 

Damn, the description alone reeks of awesome! When I finish reading "Whatever Happened to Bromance?", I'll get right to it. Thanks for the rec! :cheers:

 

Was that story formerly Harry Potter: Magnificent Bastard?

 

Yes, the title wasn't kosher according to the FFN rules, which demand, that title and description hafta be rated K ("K" for "Kindekacke" (German for "Kiddie-Crap")).

 

^Yep. We never heard anything officially, but there was some discussion about other stories that had been taken down for less offensive language on DLP, so we thought better safe than sorry; the new title arguably fits the actual content a little better anyway, to be fair.

 

According to the author's profile page, he had to change the story title because of that and this isn't the first time I hear something like that, so it's most likely legit.

 

Yes. I know. Like I said, it's one I'm co-writing with a friend.

 

The restrictive rules on FFN must be a giant pain in the ass. Have you or your friend considered uploading the story not only on FFN, but also on other sites (e.g. where the content rules are more relaxed and other stuff, such as better tagging system and the possibility to read or even to download the story at one piece)? You could upload a censored version on FFN and an uncensored one on the other site, if your your story would make it necessary.

 

I made it 4 chapters in, but I found it really hard to enjoy. Something about it just seems completely arbitrary to me, like paint-by-the-numbers.

 

This sort of fits the requirement. Plus it's good smut.

It Could Only Happen to Harry

 

I found the humor more interesting that the smut. That scene with Tonks, McG and a certain object being waved under someone's nose was hilarious.
