    To the Mods/Admins: I made sure to check the rules before I posted this thread, but I didn't see anything that said we can't post links to other fan fiction forum communities. If I have broken an unwritten law by doing this, please let me know, and do with this thread as you will.

    I recently came across this forum while mindlessly wandering around the internet, and after perusing it for a while, came to the increadible revelation that we are not alone in the desperate struggle to improve the general quality of fan fiction at FF.net. Now, while they are predominantly an anime orientated forum, they do have a Harry Potter section, and some of their members, like Hawk, Lord Raa, and Israfel, are all writers of a caliber that is on par with DLP members like nonjon, Vash, LT2000, and Dark Syaoran.

    I feel that it might prove beneficial to, at the very least, send them an envoy of sorts, and set up a kind of inter-forum alliance. Who knows? Something good could probably come out of it.

    Ah, I know that site. That's Hawk's forum, TFF. It's more of a haven for anime authors. They discuss plot bunnies and idea, they even post preview fics for the other members to scrutinise. All in all, a good place for anime authors to join. Harry Potter fanfic is minor to them, so I’m not sure if your proposal is sound enough to be approved.

    interesting idea. But how would it work. What exactly would you do to combat crap Fics, unless we set up a FF site and strictly monitor whats posted. The Work by author section achieves this. It would probably be pointless

    wtf... And what will this alliance do? Launch virtual missiles at other sites? Wage war? Send aid to the authors in slash-infested zones?

    *rolls eyes*

    Who posted DGD's:vorlonto be added to their smiley database[1].

    I don't really mind the idea of an alliance, but I don't see a point to it. Raise awareness that they aren't the only one's who have issues with Hp cliches?[2]

    A interesting forum for authors who want ideas or just see other writers. I wish they had a library though.

    An alliance seems pointless (but I wish a war! I would be funny...)
    But maybe a small collection of links to other forums with great authors or anti-slash sites. This would be very helpful for people like me, which only know a few good (= without Slash) English sites.

    I think this site covers pretty much all the fics I'm interested in reading so I see no point in an "alliance." And what is this? They stole our smiley!
