HBP-compliant H/D - A) Explanations
A) Explanations
(1 April 2006) -- Hullo. :D
On this list you can find Harry/Draco fics compliant with the books up to and including Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (HBP), and which are longer than 12,500 words. *** This is not a rec list. *** I hope to make this list as comprehensive as possible, and try to include as many of the stories written as possible. The list is still being expanded, updated, and stories are still being added.
Below you'll find some of the explanations that go with the list. I hope it'll make things clearer. :)
HBP-compliant? Only stories which are compliant with the Half-Blood Prince are on this list. This means that stories which just take the idea of horcruxes, for example, but ignore everything else, have not been included (there is a slight exception made, which is explained below). However, since not all of the authors explain the background and there are many different interpretations of the books out there, this list includes both fics where the things which took place in Harry's 6th year at Hogwarts are dealt with thoroughly, as well as those where this is just glossed over. The latter is especially true of those fics which are set after Hogwarts and after Voldemort's defeat, or fics which presuppose that disagreements between the main characters have already been solved. In short, I don't discriminate when it comes to the fics on the list as long as they're compliant with the HBP. :) When I'm not sure whether a story belongs on this list for whatever reason, it's marked with a question mark (?). Also, I haven't read all of the stories on the list, so it's possible I've made some mistakes. If so, tell me, and I'll fix them. :)
Length? I've only included stories longer than 12,500 words. I had to put some sort of word limit, because otherwise the list would be endless. The number just seemed appropriate. :) I divided the list into sections based on length, so that the lists won't be too long, and so that it'll be easier to find stories the type of length you'd like to read.
Completed fics and WsIP? Both completed fics and works in progress (WIP) are on the list. Only the WsIP are marked. Again, only those WsIP which are currently longer than 12,500 are on the list. Other stories will be added as soon as they're longer than 12,500 words.
Sections? I've divided the list into several sections:
* B - stories between 12,500 and 50,000 words long. This section has subsections based on era (war-time ~ Hogwarts, post-Voldemort ~ post-Hogwarts, post-Voldemort).
* C - stories longer than 50,000 words. This section has subsections based on era (war-time ~ Hogwarts, post-Voldemort ~ post-Hogwarts, post-Voldemort).
* D - stories dealing with the hunt for and/or destruction of Horcruxes. Only detailed stories go into this section. If Horcruxes are just mentioned, the story cannot be found in this section.
* E - AU stories, meaning stories which are a re-imagining of HBP, but where the plot stays more or less the same (Horcruxes, Draco has to kill Dumbledore, Astronomy Tower, etc.).
* F - completed stories. This section has subsections based on era (war-time ~ Hogwarts, post-Voldemort ~ post-Hogwarts, post-Voldemort ~ AU stories).
Descriptions? Under each fic you'll find the date of the last update (ch. #; DD/MM/YY), the word count (t = thousand), and my own notes marking, for example, Mpreg and magical creature fics.
Misc?
*NEW* - marks a new addition to the list. I'll leave this there for a couple of weeks after adding the story.
? - in front of stories when I'm not sure that they're HBP-compliant.
REC - my favourites.

If you think any of the stories do not belong on this list, or know of more stories which should be on the list, please tell me so. The same goes for any broken links, or other mistakes. If you'd like to have your story removed from the list, just send me an email (found on the info page) or write a comment. I'd like this list to be as accurate and as thorough as possible. :) Any other comments and suggestions are also welcome.
