    At least 10 years ago, most likely recommended (with a 10% probability of trash talk) by an author, no idea who.

    Fanfiction.net review section

    I was reading a dark harry fanfic that seemed to be abandoned(no update for over a year) Some guy in the review section was ranting about how the author was only updating on DLP. So I came here and made an account.

    I learned about DLP from random authors on ff.net talking about it on their profiles (no particular individuals). I didn't really pay it any mind initially. I don't remember why but eventually I got curious and visited the forum. I lurked for a while before signing up.

    How did you find DLP

    I all honestly I found DLP when I was trawling the internet and stumbled upon Methene's Harry/Fleur Community thread while looking for that's right Harry/Fleur fics. :sherlock:

    Then I made an account a few days later and here we are now.

    An author recommended it. I checked it out. Traumatized ever since.

    I don't even recall where I first heard about this website, I think I was linked here over TV tropes fanfiction recommendation page, but it also might have been a rec thread over at SB.

    Found it while reading Newcomb´s work

    I found out about this site while reading some of Newcomb's work, I'm really glad that a community like this exists. I'm looking forward to find entertaining stories and to give my opinion (as good or bad as it may be)

    nonjon...

    has a (slightly snarky) recommendation for DLP on his FFN profile, and I have been desperately searching for a good source of well written, well-regarded fics, in addition to writing my own. And so, here I am.

    I stumbled upon it a few times when I looked for recommended fanfiction or when authors on FFN mentioned it.

    Uh... it's been a minute.

    I honestly have no idea. Probably just stumbled on it through someone's profile.

    Edit: Just noticed that it'll be 10 years in December. Damn

    I'd been looking for a place to discuss and share thoughts on fanfictions for a while when I stumbled upon DLP... I registered a few months ago, and never got around to getting the hang of it !

    Since I'm starting to fall back into the HP world, I thought I'd dip my toes into the forums here ...

    I apologize in advance for any rookie mistake I might make !
