    I followed Santi's Harry Potter and the Boy Who Lived, and a user on Reddit mentioned the story in its entirety (or more than just what can be found on FF, anyway) is hosted here.

    I can't really remember what led me here. I think some rubbish author cursed about this forum in the Authors Note of one of his crappy stories, so I thought these guys should be an alright bunch. Then I lurked for a few months before joining and never quite stopped lurking I guess.

    Jimmycranberry mentioned DLP in his author's notes in his Tidus/Rikku fic, Mistake. Joined for the WBA so I could read more while I failed all my first semester classes in my freshman year of college. I still don't feel comfortable posting too much, so I just lurk and enjoy the atmosphere.

    Reddit linked me to a fanfic called The Stalking Blood Sack alas even after making an account it seems I still can't access it.

    Oh well, this website looks pretty interesting anyways.

    Via Joe. His Wasteland stories intrigued me, and like Hansel & Gretel, I followed the breadcrumbs.

    Honestly forgotten. Think it was mentioned on a couple of fics before I thought to look it up. Otherwise, stumbled on DLP via Googling fanfic.

    I've forgotten how, but it was probably mentioned offhand in some fanfiction I forget the name of, or perhaps even some irc room/skype conversation.

    I picked "google" since it's the closest to "I forget, but it's certainly none of the other options."

    I saw people mention it on the HPfanfic Reddit pages, and also mentioned by a few authors I like on fanfic.net

    So I rembered finding this site a while ago (i.e. a few years ago), then forgetting about it, then remembered it, then signed up after looking at the naruto recs, because there are just so few good fics for Naruto. I didn't vote in the poll because I really don't remember what it was.

    My flatmate joined the website a couple weeks ago. He's since moved out and I don't even know what his name is but I thought I'd join just cause it sounded like a cool place to chill.

    I was checking Google for mention of The Santi's Harry Potter and the Brother Who Lived and found this forum.

    I really like the possibility of having deep discussion.

    Recc'd by a fanfic author. I think, and I stress this heavily, it may have been nuhuh's profile page on ff.net.

    I saw the site mentioned in a lot of author notes. I've been lurking for a bit.
