    Newcomb mentioned it on his profile on FF.net, and I got curious. He just wrote "DLP" though, no link, so I had to take a round trip via Google to get here.

    Hm, that sounds like something that could easily be fixed. <_<

    I found DLP after searching for a C2 on FFN a while back.

    Saw someone mention DLP in the reviews of HP&BWL by the Santi, decided to check it out.

    But I came across this forum as early as 2007, I think. Before this, I'd been a little intimidated to join, I guess.

    The Dark Lord Potter forums are one of those forums I find that is consistently linked in an FF.net user account. So after seeing it linked back here so many times, I decided to make an account and see what the fuss was about.

    I found Dark Lord Potter just by searching Google, as I said in the poll. The reason I ended up joining is because I read on Reddit that Harry Potter and the Boy Who Lived had more chapters here than it did on Fanfiction.net. I suppose my being here is a combination of the three sources.

    I found it by just looking for good fanfiction and I found a couple threads I think the first I saw was the Harry/Fleur community.

    Some people were mentioning it on the HPfanfiction reddit page, and I was curious- especially since I heard that some of The Santi's works are posted on here (chapters that aren't posted on fanfiction.net)

    I was reading Nonjon's work, and he mentioned it, so I checked it out.

    Found this forum through the HPfanfiction reddit website. Really enjoyed the library, though "The Alternate" category could be split in a few (Timetravel/Dimension Travel, Darker Harry, Wrong Boy who lived, etc.)

    Searched for HP and the boy who lived and I found out that there are more chapters here than there are on FF. So here I am trying to raise above being a muggle so I can read the rest of it.

    I discovered DLP more than two years ago, because several of my favorite authors mentionned it. I don't remember who however. I joined DLP, and nearly immediatly after I stopped reading fanfiction for two years.
    I got back into fanfic at the beginning of this year, and I rediscovered DLP thanks to the C2. Somehow I managed to remember my old login and password.

    I accidentally voted the wrong thing! Sorry. I found DLP because an author posted more chapters here than on ft.net.

    I'm an active member of the /r/HPFanfiction subreddit, and they seem to hold it in quite high regard.

    First heard of it in an FFN author's note, back in... 2008? Somewhere around then. I checked it out, didn't like what I saw, and forgot about it.

    Seven years later I stumbled on it again, this time on r/hpfanfiction and on spacebattles. I decided to check it out again, and found that I did like it now. Signed up, been lurking since.

    I first found DLP in its early days, through Lord Ravenclaw. I joined, didn't know what to do with it and then forgot about it.

    I ran across it again in 2008, liked the library, created a new account, liked the WbA more, and here I am.
