Unbelievbly enough, their is a Harry Potter fanfic that has sparked it's own FANDOM. Not like
cult_sbp for shoebox project; that's not organized like this one. This SUBfandom has an audiobook, a podcast, contests, and conventions. Fanfiction's are written in the subfandom's universe.
It's sort of insane.
And also completely and totally awesome at the same time.
Maybe you've heard of this subfandom. It's called
daydverse . And it all started with an awesome fanfiction that's longer than Order of the Phoenix. Yeah, you read that right. What's the name of this unbelievable fanfic?
Dumbledores Army and the Year of Darkness by Thanfiction
It's about Hogwarts during the Deathly Hallows. It's darker and scarier than I ever thought possible but it still remains completely and utterly real and within canon. Neville is amazing in this fic and Than really brings out all the minor characters that JKR never really develops. People like Susan Bones, Ernie Macmillan, Terry Boot, and Micheal Corner are all given starring roles in this fic. At points, it will make you cry, or laugh, or scream. It's just that amazing. Read it.
"We’re doing this all ourselves, and because we want to - no, because we need to. Risking our lives or not, it’s the right thing to do, and we’re not about to knuckle under just because we’re young. That’s how people like that get a real foothold, you know? If they can get you to grow up going along with things, then it’s a lot harder to make yourself fight later, not to mention they’ll be dug in deeper. I mean - sure, we all know Dumbledore had something planned with Harry, but we don’t know what, and we’re not waiting to find out. If Harry can stop You-Know-Who first, that’s brilliant. But these are our freedoms too, and we’re not sitting back and waiting on someone else’s plan.”
Neville Longbottom to Aberforth Dumbledore, Chapter 19, Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness"
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4315906/1/Dumbledores_Army_and_the_Year_of_Darkness DAYD has two sequels. One, Slaugh is completed and is definetly much much much darker than DAYD. The third one, is in progress and while less dark than slaugh, it is still hauntingly awesome.
