Recs needed!

Jul 22, 2011 13:33

So my almost-ten-year-old Prince Brat wants to read some HP fanfiction. Which presents a problem for me that's really quite embarrassing... I don't know of any non-smuterific HP fanfiction! I know plenty of genfic for Star Wars fandom, but can't name a single child-friendly HP fanfic ( Read more... )

Eldest hellmonkey says she only reads Tonks/Charlie fanfic (ahahaha! Is she my kid, or what?), but she'd be happy to send along some links if she comes across something she thinks is good. She reads on ff.net mostly and is deeply creeped out by overly romantic stuff. Let me see what I've got too. I've read a lot more gen in recent years.

And take your time! It's not due till Monday! <3

Thinking about it some more last night, AO3 lets you do some really specific searches. Like, you can search for a general audience rating, gen fic, and specific characters/pairings/crossovers, etc. If you don't have a link handy:

These are great, thanks! I think he'll really like the Weasley Watch one! I really appreciate you taking the time to gather all these links :)

iulia_linnea set up http://aunt-meg.dreamwidth.org/ to post recs for gen fanfic for her 8-y.o. niece. That should be a good starting place :-)

Very cool - thank you!!

omg is he really that old now? o.O

I'd go to fanfiction.net , do a search for HP on their lowest rating, then reverse the dates so the oldest fics come up first. It's easier to pick them out that way by looking at their review count. (And older fics tend to be canon-ish.)

wendynat July 24 2011, 23:14:28 UTC

Good idea - will do that!

LOL, I know it - I can't believe he's almost ten, either
