boa constrictor - Harry Potter [Linked by: Rob1 screen 03/19/05]Another site I’m rec’ing for its excellent recs! As an added bonus, Ptyx presents you with both an English and a Portuguese version of the site! These Snape focused recs are extensive yet high quality. You’ll find a veritable ‘who’s who’ of talented writers. Slash centric with an emphasis on Snape/Harry, I devoured just about every rec’ed story. You’ll also find the authors collection of their own work, which is well worth reading.
“The bonibaru perfect collect” offers a variety of stories by skilled author Bonibaru, as well as videos and fan fiction recommendations. Expect an extensive collection of recs- I skim it often when I’m looking for something new to read.
The site focuses on romantic het recs, mostly Snape and Hermione. The stories reviewed aren’t really to my taste, but I love the organization and the detail of the recommendations.
An automated index for Snape/Hermione fanfic, you’ll find a 1,000+ story links. Granted, many of the stories are bad, but many are not. I suggest you send me direct links for those that are not! Easy to sort and search, it’s a worthwhile site to visit for the S/H fans. That said, there’s no search criteria for ‘good fic’, so expect to spend some time digging for it.
OK- this archive disappeared in a puff of wankery- I won’t even try to tease out who was the biggest wanker. Mostly I’ll just sit here and be irritated by how much a pain in the ass HP fandom is. The link- sans link- remains for those wondering what happened.
This is a nice Snape/Harry focused site- it took over for the invaluable ‘Walking the Plank’. You’ll find a large selection of Harry/Snape fan fiction as well as some fan art, recommendations and the official fanlisting for the pairing. A handy site, with clean navigation and sortable stories- hope it keeps growing!
A huge site that should be a gold mine of great fic for me, this 6,000+ author archive is restricted to stories that are NOT adult rated and that meet some basic grammar guidelines. Unfortunately, the navigation was designed by crack addled monkeys, so it’s hard to find anything worthwhile. I honestly have better luck at FFN, which is kind of scary. I do sometimes dig around in the ‘niffler’ forums- the recommendation section of the site. There is good stuff to be found that way, but since only the titles of the stories are shown (no summary, no characters) I usually have to click through 20-30 links before I find one that’s even close to being in my area of interest. Eh- other people should go dig around and then send me links to all the good Snape fic.
Harry Potter fandom spread through the www like a viral infection. Thus it falls to sites like ‘Harry Potter Essays’ to draw form from the chaos. This invaluable LJ makes a valiant attempt to gather together HP essays and categorize them in a coherent way. Expect to find essays on everything- from pairings to characters to book reviews and speculation. You name it, someone in the fandom has written about it, and there’s a fair chance of tracking it down here. Lots of links, including non-LJ, but the LJ stuff does predominate.
I was fortunate enough to find Isis’ site early in my Harry Potter wanderings. Our tastes in fic overlap quite a bit and she has an excellent eye for good writing. I’ll read things she rec’s that I’d never try otherwise- and I’m usually glad I did. In addition to the excellent and well organized recs, you’ll also find her own stories. Expect tight writing and very clever, well crafted tales. To top it off, the essay section is both interesting and thought provoking. Definitely one for the bookmarks.
I am a big fan of gen fic- particularly when it comes to Harry Potter. It really doesn’t help that Snape’s my favorite and he’s not a character I can easily picture being in a relationship with anybody. Snape and Harry? Snape and Hermione? Snape and Sirius? O_o Dude- are we reading the same books? Now yes, I’m adaptable and I have truly loved stories pairing Snape with just about anyone. But I’ll sacrifice a virgin if it will get me a good gen fic. Jetamors’ page of gen fic recs has saved more than a few virgins. Though not a flashy site, it’s well organized and easy to find what you want- if what you want is solid HP gen.
I don’t think Luthien has recommended a Harry Potter story I didn’t like! Most of her recs are plot heavy and Snape intensive- just the way I like them. Though slash predominates, you’ll find a variety of Potter fanfic rec’ed, as well as stories from a variety of other fandoms. Luthien’s own work is well worth checking out too- ‘Teeth’ is a personal favorite! For those curious about the writing process, she also has a nice and growing collection of interviews with some of the well known HP writers. Not a huge site, but a very high quality one.
Hee! I love painless_j’s Harry Potter thematic fic lists. It’s a nifty idea and a real community service in a fandom that tends to sprawl all over the place. On her site you’ll find lists with brief summaries of a variety of ‘types’ of HP fic. Slash is probably over-represented, but that’s no problem for me. Man- HP is an ODD fandom! There’s a little bit of everything- from Shakespearean HP to double penetration. It’s all organized in her memories in very readable fashion. As an added bonus, she also provides a nice set of recs (and on the lists, recommended reads are marked as such), some handy links, and general musings on Harry Potter fandom, writing, and writing clichés (and she’s in a good position to know about those!). Yep- this is another one of those sites where it’s easy to get lost for hours. Enjoy!
A conglomerate of Harry Potter archives, the site offers a variety of HP fanfic. By far the best known and most active is ‘Ashwinder’, home to 1,000+ Snape/Hermione stories. There are also sections devoted to Slash, Lupin, Snape, the Weasleys and others, though the site will be most useful to the Snape and Snape/Hermione fans. It is a vetted site, thus the quality is a bit above the norm. Hunt around and you’ll even find a fan art archive and a not particularly active forum.
An aptly titled recommendation site for fans of the Snape/Harry pairing, this LJ is run by absynthia, aubrem and gaycrow. In their words: The Snarry_Reader is a master list of those stories we have most enjoyed, along with short summaries and/or reviews. I’d definitely recommend this as ‘first stop shopping’ for those interested in the pairing.
A mid-sized archive that focuses on the two Potter boys, Harry and James. No, it’s not an incest site, you perv! Well, ok, there is some incest, but I go to skim for the Harry/Snape reads, which is slightly less pervy than incest. Unless one of them happens to be dead, in which case the perv factor is pretty much a draw. It is a vetted archive, so the writing tends to be a cut above. Snape isn’t really a focus, but what’s there is well worth a look.
So back in 2002, there was the first Harry Potter Fuh-Q Fest. Happily, it was a Snape-slash fest! Life was good. I’m not normally a big fan of fic challenges, but I consumed just about every story in the archive when I first got into Harry Potter fandom. There’s a real mix, some jewels and some not. And then the archive went away. And there was sadness. And then the archive came back. And there was much rejoicing. Go rejoice with some Snape porn.
Kai writes wonderful fic in a variety of fandoms (including Witchblade and Brimstone- not easy to find!). I’ve rec’ed more than a few of them, including ‘A Necessary Evil’ and ‘Contemporary Magical Innovations’. However, what makes the site a ‘must see’ for the Harry Potter fans are the fanfic recommendations. The recs are extensive, well organized and descriptive without spoiling the story. It doesn’t hurt that Kai has great taste. I’ve yet to be disappointed by one of the stories I’ve found through this rec page, though I’ll admit I haven’t read them all. Snape lover that I am, my focus is a bit more narrow than Kai’s. Of course, that’s good news for those with more eclectic tastes, and you’ll find a wide range of good stories.
Multi-fandom fun can be found on this collective site. The navigation is a little vague, but it’s a lovely place to wander around looking for essays, recs and fanfic. Some truly good authors can be found here.
This is an old school Snape-slash archive. It was retired some time ago and the stories migrated over to the Detention archive- which then went belly up. Fortunately the old archive was saved and dedicated fen got it back up and running. It’s not as slick as Detention was, but it has the benefit of actually existing. Given the efforts put into getting it back online, I wouldn’t be surprised if it sees some upgrades and new activity in the near future.
