I am in the middle of rereading the series for the 2363746474 times. I am halfway through half blood prince which is my favorite. I own the cursed child but have not read it so I don’t know who it’s about. However JK Rowling missed a huge opportunity for a new series based on Albus Severus. I was reading something and they pointed out that his initials spell ASP which is a type of snake. They could have created a whole new series and put him in slytherin house. The story possibilities are endless. Also I haven’t read any fan fic or researched this so someone else could have brought this up. Also Dumbledore is indeed an asshat. Cused Child is about Al. He's in Slytherin. And it's still terrible. Boooo I for some reason thought it was about James not Al. She could do soooooooo much with it.

Yeah, I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt at first because of the play format. But the plot is just ridiculous. Between that and some of the decisions being made for the Fantastic Beasts movies, I feel like she's just phoning it in anymore.

There are a cool fanfics in the fanfics thread. Im a Dramoine (Draco+Hermione) fan so a lot of my suggestions are fics with them. Ranges from fluffy to angsty. I know I love fanfics thanks to athn64 and housecarder and mischief.

marygracerich, I recommend the Debt of Time, its a huge undertaking but its so worth it. I also prefer those events to the actual Deathly Hallows book. Much more satisfying than a million pages about camping in the forest. Damn it at this rate I am going to have to dive in for another reread.

Part of why I'm a here is that thread to be honest. It's like where has all this been all my life? I clicked on Isolation one day (thank you athn64) and then I've been sort of a Harry Potter fanfic hermit since then. Well I sound exciting.

Doooooo itttttt I was on chapter 70 and AO3 like internally combusted or something and I can't get on so now I am here before I jump to FFN. So this is the perfect time for you to read 70 chapters in one night and squeal with me

I was right in the middle of a Bucky/Darcy story that I am in love with and I have five chapters left and cant get on. They do a really good job of updating on Twitter when its down though so I always check that when I cant get on. It says they are looking into it right now. I just might do that but even if I dont you know Im always down to obsess over it in the DOT thread. I am trying to finish Secrets too though, its so long.

There was so much greatness that didn't happen because of those boring ass chapters in the forest. I don't give a fuck about mushroom soup!!! Lol

I stumbled into fanfic in HS and it became a huge part of my life from then on out. I'm like 15 years in and going strong. I once had a challenge with H that he couldn't find something that didn't have a fanfic about it. He insists he won because there was a webcomic that is arguable a fanfic itself that I couldn't find anything for. But he started with something simple like fanfiction about fanfiction. Oh how wrong he was.

And I was always like "what about Draco?" I just felt like even without the Hermione part, his part had so much potential.

I had the Bucky/Darcy tag open in one of my tabs looking for a good one. I'm following a fake relationship one that I like, something about Beach Bingo. And of course Grade A American Beef! I have been in such a huge avengers spiral, DoT is my entry back into hp fics. I need to add hermione/Charlie onto my saved tags when the site is back up. We're in good company based on some of the comments on twitter lol

athn64, Its called That which you seek by Wynn on AO3, Im actually on part 2 but I am really loving how she is handling Buckys healing and his relationship with Darcy and Steve. It feels very authentic. Ill link it in the rec thread when AO3 comes back up. Also I feel like every thread becomes a fic thread and I love it!

I saw somewhere that JKR couldn't understand why all the girls loved Draco because he was such a horrible person etc, and I remember thinking "because they are all reading redemption fics!"

I have a bunch open in my browser and Im slowly getting to them. I have like 80 tabs open.

Ive been on a Chris Evans spiral lately too, Ive watched literally all of his movies this week. Snowpiercer is so freaking good and I found one decent fic so far that gave me some closure on the ending.

Like when I realized Molly Weasley was also very flawed. That's what I've come to really appreciate about stories the more I read them. Things aren't so clear anymore.
