The post-spork discussion will be up later. In the meantime, this is where you can post recommendations for fic and art that deal with plotholes Rowling never filled, with the Wizarding World at war, with the aftermath of the war, with AUs and dystopias, et cetera, et cetera, and so forth...you get the idea ( Read more... )

Just closing the plot holes or fixing the universe? Because there´s some next-gen fics that don´t exaclty deal with the holes in DH, but give the characters the shades of gray and subtly that we spend the series looking for. Are those game too?

gehayi February 15 2008, 16:08:19 UTC

Those are absolutely fair game.

Then: http://scoradh.livejournal.com/tag/the+road+less+travelled. It´s a next-gen story focusing on Albus Severus and, trust me when I say it, it´s worthy (Dudley´s son goes to Hogwarts. You can´t miss that)

And this one, because people were annoyed by the kid´s names: http://amanuensis1.insanejournal.com/4793.html#cutid1

And this because it´s too cute to miss: http://asylums.insanejournal.com/bandinnabox/5160.html

Untitled, unfinished Potterverse/Sneakers crossover, on the grounds that I would not be working on it if not for the bank-job chapter sporking (with a side of gehayi enabling me).

Damn, did I not include that? I thought I included that. I'm going to include the Neverwhere cross too.

...huh, hadn't thought of the Neverwhere one (I think because it starts addressing the problems sooner than book 7).
I'm planning to pull up that anagram generator sometime soon and see if I can't give the Sneakers crossover a title from that. XD

It's absolutely disgusting, not that fan writers could out-write her own story, but that they could do it on top of school and work and with only betas, while she had two years to work full time on this, with access to any sort of help money could buy, secluded from the world and with the ability to get input from any number of professional, gifted editors.

Oh, golly. I can't just point y'all to this year's Snupin Santa stories? Or the lupin-snape comm's Resurrection Fest?

...ok, some specific recs:

Quote from the authort:
I didn't actually realize it at at the time, but this fic was me more or less dismantling the Epilogue piece by piece. I was going to have to deal with it sometime, but I kept putting it off because, well, what was there to say about it really?

Apparently I had 17,000 words of stuff to say about it, ha.

This is my favorite fics' list (of course, with links). All of those fics stood out for me and are of high quality. I have chosen them out of hundreds.

If you want, you can make a look at the list. Each link has a short summery, so you'll understand what the fics are about.

I would like to specially recommend:

1, 3 & 4 (out of the Top 4 category)
The first one is called "Daddy's Favorite".
Severus Snape has long complained about Albus Dumbledore's favoritism toward Harry Potter. Usually his voice is alone. But is he the only one who feels that way, or is he just the only one who voices the opinion? Here is how several people view the relationship between Dumbledore and Harry in the wake of Harry's fifth year2 & 4 (out of Missing scenes ( ... )
