    #62 on OP gives me rabid plot bunnies.

    And makes me ship Harry/Luna/Draco, which most of you would hate.

    Would anyone be interested in creating a series of oneshots based off these ideas? (And allow people to develop these ideas if they choose)

    I was thinking something similar to Sliders as well. The first chapter can be Harry (and whomever) getting trapped in an alternate dimension. Each chapter can be a different universe as they try to find their way home. It will be made up of different DLP authors over the years.

    You know, a thought occurred to me.

    Why not have the reality exploration Ministry-sanctioned and done in the style of Stargate-SG1?

    Post-DH, Auror Harry is selected to lead a team in a new project created by the Unspeakables. They cannot interfere in the affairs of other worlds, their mission is strictly observation and potential retrieval of useful items and magics.

    However, their world is not the only one which discovered reality travel. It appears it was also discovered in one of the Voldemort-Won dimensions. Soon, both sides have to start gathering allies, leading to an inter-dimensional war.

    Paid servants? Why not outright slavery? It is not like they have no cheap mind control (children are able to do this without any significant issues, see Draco and Hermione). Slavery exists for an entire recorded history, and considering it Evil is a relatively new thing.

    ---------- Post automerged at 07:27 ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 ----------

    ? - Magical education (and ability to use magic) begins at 33 instead of 11.

    It may be nice to see story with adult learning magic, rather than ridiculous mix of part adult, part child that usually appears as authors attempt to depict "intelligent" or "smart" characters (see HPMOR).

    ? - The entire magical world, including magicals is put under Fidelius. [because Muggleborns in canon/fanon had too easy life]

    0079b - And she turned into a ghost.

    xxxx - Unbreakable Oaths are widely used (by everybody - from government, through Dark Lords to parents).

    xxxx - Voldemort was using Imperius rather than Killing Curse, in result he is controlling almost all important people.

    Instead of slavery, go with serfdom. The same thing, but sounds nicer.

    Enough stalling.

    Alternate Potter Worlds - Version 2.0

    Current Total: 225 Worlds

    Things new in this version:
    * Added a lot of new worlds. Many submitted by other people and some invented by me.
    * Fixed some typos.
    * Rearranged the order of many worlds for chronological consistency, as such you should read from the start :)

    Note: Any further subitted worlds will be shown in Version 3.0 which I'll publish once the list reaches above 300.
    -----------------

    0001 - Canon Universe. All was well.

    0002 - Souls are the source of magic and muggles are soulless beings that cannot enter the afterlife.

    0003 - The only way to have a magical child is if both parents are magical, muggleborns don't exist.

    0004 - Magic is X-linked, it is fairly rare for a non-pureblood girl to be magical.

    0005 - Magic appears only in females.

    0006 - There is no magic or magical creatures, Harry Potter is a fictional character known by millions.

    0007 - Magic can create food, love, knowledge and bring back the dead.

    0008 - Dragons are not dumb beasts, but instead have human-level intelligence. The wizarding world is locked in a centuries-old on-again off-again war with them.

    0009 - Dementors never existed.

    0010 - Intelligence and knowledge are more prized than blood purity and ignorant people are persecuted by the Mind Purists.

    0011 - Unbreakable Vows are widely used by everybody; from government, through Dark Lords to parents.

    0012 - Some types of dinosaurs, being magical creatures, survived to modern day, though are hidden from muggles.

    0013 - All wizards and witches are extremely well gifted in Legilimency, mind-sharing is seen as a popular form of entertainment.

    0014 - The levitation charm is much more powerful and it is possible to levitate entire cities.

    0015 - Magical creatures are much more common and it was impossible to hide them from muggles.

    0016 - All people from canon have their sexes flipped here.

    0017 - Every spell cast shortens the caster's life span.

    0018 - Spells strongly affect the mind of the caster, with dark magic acting like a drug which corrupts logic, morality and emotions.

    0019 - The existence of Magic caused the laws of physics to work slightly differently, making the creation of electricity-based machines almost impossible.

    0020 - Barring accidents or homicide, Witches and Wizards can live indefinitely.

    0021 - It hurts to cast spells. The more potent the spell, the more pain is involved.

    0022 - Magical people are far more frail, physically, than regular humans. Magical healing was never discovered.

    0023 - Magic is far more difficult to learn. Most adults know only a few spells.

    0024 - The Unforgivable Curses were never invented.

    0025 - There are significantly more vampires and they became strongly integrated into the magical society.

    0026 - House elves were never enslaved or bound to Wizardkind. Not having easy slaves to do their work, wizards began using muggles as paid servants.

    0027 - Being a Werewolf is considered to give better understanding of nature, so the majority of wizards curse themselves on purpose.

    0028 - Using magic similar to the one used in the creation of the Sorting Hat, Wizards invented worker golems with artificial intelligence.

    0030 - The world is going through another ice age in modern times.

    0042 - The entire magical world, including wizards and witches were put under Fidelius.

    0045 - Time Turners never became restricted items; they can be bought for ten Galleons at the local shop and every trained Witch and Wizard is proficient in their use.

    0054 - The Statute of Secrecy was never introduced and eventually Wizards became the ruling aristocracy.

    0056 - Albus Dumbledore was never born.

    xxx - "Friendly Goblins" if you are nice/respectful.

    xxx - Different champions for the Triwizard Tournament.

    xxx - Different tasks for the Triwizard Tournament.

    xxx - Killing a magical user allows you to permanently take part of their power
    xxx - b- with the rest being allocated to a near-future birth (Muggleborns really do have stolen magic).

    xxx - There is a set number of wizards/witches, and therefore a much larger amount of squibs

    xxx - Dudley Dursley was never born. Instead, Petunia gave birth to
    xxx - 1 - Delilah Dursley
    xxx - 2 - twins

    Any actual stories out there with this premise? This could be epic if done correctly.

    xxx - It is a common knowledge that powerful witches and wizards are universally gay or asexual.



    Children get extra attention from everyone if it looks like they are gay. They say that people with lots of children (like the Weasleys) must not be very good at magic. The stereotype of muggles is of heterosexual sex maniacs.

    If you don't mind going old school (and by that I mean 2002-era fanfiction), Cygnus Crux did it with Existence After Life and sequels. About 700k words in all.

    The story is Harry/Ginny, though was written well before canon went that way. (It predates Order of the Phoenix.)

    xxxx - Everybody has magical potential, however only a minority knows about magic and gets an education in it. Magic is a jealously guarded secret.

    xxxx - There are no memory charms. Muggles who discover magic are killed.

    xxxx - Muggles or squibs who manage to take a wizard's wand may in fact steal their magic.

    xxxx - Giving birth to a magically powerful individual may cost the life of the mother.

    He was also an incorrigible buggerer and got booted out of the family by his old-fashioned mother, after starting a band with a vampire and calling it, "Dead Astaire and Ginger Rogers." :nyan:

    This just seems like a really fancy plot bunny thread. There are some things here I'd absolutely love to read.

    xxxx- Dobby makes his life's mission the liberation of elves and the establishment of their nation.

    xxxx- Magic comes from the land and it's usage drains the life out of it. There can be no magical settlements.

    xxxx- Goblins have recently been introduced to the wonders of communism.

    xxxx- Just like your house, it is the sorting hat who chooses your future job.

    xxxx- The stronger spells are made by chanting and it also strengths your magic. Singing classes are mandatory.

    xxxx- Instead of refusing to teach practical DADA, Umbridge focuses on ministry propaganda and nationalism, trying to recruit and gain the loyalty of the most promising students.

    xxxx- It is another teaching position the one that is cursed instead of DADA.

    xxxx- Hermione kills the troll. She becomes the most popular girl at school.

    xxxx- The ministry was right and it was all Dumbledore's ploy. Harry realizes way too late.

    xxxx- Albus joins Grindewald but they are defeated.

    xxxx- Albus instead of Ariana was the one who was hazed as a kid.

    xxxx- Ron is an only child but he is schizophrenic. All of his siblings are imaginary.

    xxxx- You know those Harry Potter stories the wizards tell their children? THEY ARE REAL!

    xxxx- Dumbledore gets hooked into muggle cartoons. A change in policies happens at Hogwarts.

    xxxx- Wizards and muggles went to war. The muggles won. For security reasons, a kill chip is installed on the brain of magical kids as soon as they are born.

    "0065 - Harry was raised by cultists and believed himself to be the messiah."

    I really like this one, and I think it could go one in two ways: really crackish, or Bioshock infinite level of insanity. Honestly, I'd read the shit out of a Comstock!Harry trying to stop a dimension hopper from usurping his Magical kingdom in the sky.

    xxx-James Potter dies in infancy
